(28,702 posts)toon number 1 went straight to my fb page. thank you n2doc!
Silent3
(15,018 posts)...because I don't quite get this first toon. I feel like it's missing a caption even if it's obvious to other people. I get the impression of Santa getting a lay off notice or something like that, but if there's a more obvious joke, it's flying right over my head.

Silent3
(15,018 posts)That's clear from this? From one managerial-looking guy behind a desk and a somewhat dejected looking Santa sitting in front of the desk?
To you this picture clearly says, "the riches flow to the rich. the poor get to eat shit no matter how hard they work"?

(6,440 posts)The six-line caption below it certainly does.
Silent3
(15,018 posts)And I still don't see it, it isn't showing up on my screen anywhere.
Update: Weird. I change to a different web browser, and the missing caption showed up. I'm using a browser I know is pretty sucky -- Safari on Windows -- just to keep my personal browsing at work separate from my work-related browsing.
I didn't realize how much I might be missing this way. That's a huge bug!

(15,018 posts)...the text you were probably able to see that constituted the joke didn't show up until I looked at the same picture with a different web browser. When I said, " I feel like it's missing a caption", I meant that I saw NO CAPTION AT ALL, not that I saw the same text you were seeing and thought that there needed to be even more.

(28,702 posts)you were right there had to be more. i didn't read your post well enough, i apologize.
Silent3
(15,018 posts)i can totally understand your puzzlement now.
Silent3
(15,018 posts)Even more baffling since the originally posted image is a .jpg image, not even a .png where I could understand that perhaps some weird alpha channel/transparency issue came into play. Part of a .jpg image going blank like this makes no sense to me.

(28,702 posts)i don't see them all until i give the page lots of loading times or refresh it.
barbtries
(28,702 posts)because i read through your post so fast i missed that you didn't get the caption. it needs the caption definitely.
