Nick is both toned and half toned.

I was horrified-I thought things were going to get racist.
Did not expect the punchline.

I know a non-American wouldn't know about Hobby Lobby; but I found "Hobby Hell" to be extra funny because Hobby Lobby is a notoriously Christian business. Though, why would they sell fresh vegetables in a Hobby store?

Thought Nick was going to pull a Justin Trudeau for a second there. Still funny

The store in the original is called 他界堂, a play on a real art supplies store in Shinjuku called 世界堂. It's just 他界 (death/the afterlife/the "next" world) vs 世界 (the world). Hobby Hell's my own bad joke, but the hell thing's more just trying to keep the afterlife part of the joke than about Hobby Lobby's religious stuff.

Happy accident, I guess. I honestly feel a little bad putting something even this close to profanity in a N&L comic.

Lmfao, I know! Even at this point I can't expect where the jokes go and I'm always delightfully surprised, you just can't beat N&L!

What's racist about a dude getting tan? 🤔

Since the tan was uneven, and Lever talked about darkening his skin, I thought we were in for some black face.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[SeekingSolace]

Every time i think i know where the joke will go, it ends up in the opposite direction.
