Transcript[Nancy sees a sign posted on a bank window which reads: Visit our loan department]

[Nancy stands before a bank clerk]

Nancy: I’d like to borrow two dollars

Clerk: For what?

[Nancy speaking to the clerk]

Nancy: The circus is in town

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 53 points 2 hours ago

We've found a rare modern loss that lasts until the punchline

I'm genuinely speechless

Oh, my bad. Not as OC. I was trying to disguise it like a normal comic, hence the transcript and “source” link.

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Oh, i didnt saw that... sorry for that.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

You’re good dude. I didn’t mean to imply it was my OC

So are we to believe the banker gave her the loan, bought her ice cream, and is now charging her interest on the $2?

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 15 minutes ago

Nah once the banker knew the circus was in town and she was excited to see it, he just had to promise her ice cream to get her in the van.

[–] WagnasT@piefed.world 15 points 2 hours ago

Well played

[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 12 points 2 hours ago

boy is this a good one

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I don't get it. What's going on in the last panel?

[–] bran_buckler@lemmy.world 17 points 1 hour ago

That’s from a web comic this comic in particular went viral as a meme. It’s called Loss and now that you’ve seen it, you’ll see it everywhere. Sometimes it’s just represented with lines or dots.

Check out the Wikipedia article on it, the meme section will show you how you might encounter it.

I hope that’s not the main event!

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 hours ago

That would be a total loss

[–] digger@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 hours ago

I'm... not even mad. Well done.

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 hours ago

Bravo. Brav-o.
