A post from Pizza Cake Comic
I’m not sure I understand. Are a lot of people afraid of butterflies?
You know, there’s genuinely a LOT less butterflies in my life nowadays.
A good chunk of that is probably the fact that I moved from the country to the cities, but man, I see much fewer butterflies. I could easily understand if you end up not seeing a butterfly in person until you’re 17, I can see that being spooky. They’re spiders with wings, they’re moths but skinnier, like the Nightmare before Christmas.
If your kids grow up with an ipad, they try to touch every screen. I’ve seen multiple kids pantomime a phone not with a pinky and thumb, but a flat hand like a smartphone. Sheep aren’t scary but if you’ve never seen one in your entire life and get the chance to pet one you’re gonna be apprehensive, and you’re gonna be scared if one runs towards you without a fence between you and it.

You’ve never seen children go ape shit over seeing a bug? Lol.
I have never seen anyone react with anything other than general passing interest towards a butterfly
Damn I kinda miss the edits these comics would get. The comics themselves are alright but the edit wars in the comments were hilarious. Hope the artist is getting less hate nowadays though
I find the art style and plain humor really enjoyable honestly. I can see why it’s not everybody’s cup of tea.
what kind of kid doesn’t love butterflies?
The kids are NOT alright
bitchy parents lead to bitchy kids. I’ve never liked this comic or its creator
i know it’s just a comic, but if your child is actually whining about one of the most beautiful creatures on our planet, asking you to kill it for no reason, while sipping on soda, you have failed as a parent
I assume that’s the point of the final panel - her realization of that

“Ah get it away!”
“It’s just a butterfly…”
“Is it poisonous?!”
“…Ay dios mio… No, it’s not poisonous, Hank!”
