Hip New Slang
sometimes I think of a comic, and it makes me laugh even though I don't know why it makes me laugh, and then I draw it for you

The more I come back to this, the more it's all about Emmett's expression in panel one. Everyone should have someone that looks at them the way they look at Sam.
They make me think of Muppets in panel 3.
Looks like they are super excited because they just found out Wawa in opening a store near them.
Just another great QC moment.
What does it for me is Sam's Muppet eyes in 3.
Can we not talk about the Muppets? I had the biggest crush on Miss Piggy but, well, she threw me over for this slimy green dude... :P
This made me smile. My mother, who passed last month at 95, had dementia. Sometimes all we had to share with each other was this sort of interaction “coo-coo-loo-koo” was a go to favorite. That and “mee-shoo-mee-shoo, meow-meow-meow”.
My mom passed at 97 just a few months ago also with dementia. Every situation has it's tender ways of finding that way to connect. Thank you for sharing.
Jeph, this is decidedly Unquestionable Content.
It's Unquestionable, but is it Content?
Never stop. We support you in this kind of content

Their faces in panel 3 are just excellent.
AYAYA
the expressions in this are absolutely precious xD <3
Awwwwwww
NANI!?
Awawawawa!
My spouse and I have developed a similar mode and use it all the time in private...
Showed this to my teen, said “Faye is me about you and your sister.” My teen laughed and laughed.
I have friends who dolphin-cackle at each other across busy streets.
Keep following those instincts
Much better than following outstinks.
I once spent an entire weekend with someone conversing mostly in emacs commands. This was back in (thinks) 1983? 1984? Something like that.
M-x uwu-mode

true friendships are the ones you can uwu with.
This comic is the bee's knees! Twenty-three skidoo!
You have somehow drawn my kids communicating
Under certain circumstances, siblings can develop their own language. Could this be what we're seeing here? Not that there's any evidence that Sam and Emmet are related; mind you.
So what's your point?
Bubbles gets it.
My friend noises are all fart sounds. It's a sailor thing, I suppose.
I long for the day when everyone sounds like this to me...
WHAT? SPEAK UP, I DIDN'T HEAR YOU!
They’re like Pokémon. 🤣
I've experienced this IRL
Panel 3 is peak Muppet
Isn't adults not understanding part of the point?
I'm in a polycule where we say nyaa~ to each other. Also, my platonic life partner/roommate frequently communicate using Meow noises.
aeiou? aeiou?
Sam's mouth in panel 3 is amazing.
my favourite word is blunge
As opposed to splunge? https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=splunge
Yup, and it's a constant across the generations. My kid does this now, I did this with my best friend back then, and I know my mom did too with her bestie because I've heard the phone conversations.
CUTE LIL DORKS
I love this deeply 🥰
Oh gods, this is my wife and I meowing at one another.
True story, a friend of mine and her husband suddenly realized they were going to have to actually speak english words instead of meowing at each other so their kids would be able to talk to other people.
This story arc is a goddamn delight, and given my recent feelings about the world, it’s been very well received. Thanks Jeph!
My brother and I actually do this. :) And we're 73 and 65!
Awawawa.
Not to be confused with ara ara.
How is this possible, you made them all ever more adorkable. =3 UwU
Bubbles has a connection to the internet, right? She probably immediately looked it up. Urban Dictionary is probably weirder and more disturbing in that world. And Pintsize is probably half the reason why.
This needs to be yeeted into cute land where cute things are bountiful. Am I doing this right?
W-whats this Mr Owbama? This hurt to write
Bubbles being all cute!!
New slang when you notice the stripes The dirt in your fries
what's this?!
*notices your comment*
For shizzle.
Yeah people just begin to speak their own language
Ha! I love Bubbles.
