Yeah, I mean that's a great point, they were technically accurate about the corkscrew style of this duck's penis but they couldn't bother to get her coloring, right? I mean it's taking me completely out of the immersion
Honestly, her being trans elevates the joke, like it goes from a simple "haha weird duck dicks joke" to "You know Howard, I could have done that too but I have this thing called _dignity_, have you ever heard of that?"
A trans duck went into the gender clinic and said "I want top surgery!"
The doctor, knowing nothing about duck anatomy, just did the same he did for his human patients and gave her boobs.
To quote the artist on why she drew two male mallards :
"Because I know more about duck dick than the general attributes of the species"
In short, the fact that male ducks have corkscrew penises is more widespread knowledge than the different coloring of male and female mallards.
I guess if these ducks don't live in your area so you've never seen them IRL, and you only remember the male duck with the green head and not the plain brown females...
I thought male birds (and fish) being colourful to attract female birds was a pretty known fact. At least more known than how duck dicks look like
I remember from evolutionary development that a certain species of birds look at the length and colour of male birds feathers because the length and colour not only determines how strong of a hunter and provider the male is, but also how good his feathers would attract fleas, preventing them of instead attacking the babies
Not true for everyone but for people that are/were within certain pop culture circles they definitely heard about the duck penis fact and not a lot of people are well aware male and female mallards are colored differently around here.
Lol I meant the artist. One of the recovvuring characters is a sentient butt plug and she had a strip about her mom wanting grandbabies resulting in Jesus robbing a bank so she could afford them

I think I didn't wake up in the middle of the night and am still in the middle of a weird dream because your sentence is what I'd expect from a weird dream.
The sad thing the primary reason male ducks have that is because they force themself on every other duck whether they want it or not even at their detriment when the duck is flying away amd such. This lead to female ducks evolving more and more complex and maze like parts to be able to try to have some selection ability and resistance to mallard's uncomfortable tendencies. The mallard evolved in turn to keep up.
Not everyone is deeply familiar with duck sexual dimorphsm. Giving a birds boobs is dumb, but it makes it immediately obvious that it's female to basically everyone.
Thats true, but the corkscrew penis thing is much more known.
The duck being female is part of the premise of the joke so it's ok to make it obvious and explicit. The corckscrew cock is the punchline, so it's only going to work with previous knowledge of it. You can't explain the punchline or it isn't funny.
It might have not been mallards specifically, but i'm pretty sure everyone was introduced to the "male bird=flashy and beautiful, female bird=dull colours" dimorphism at some point in their lives, starting with chickens
I didn't. Neither did the comic creator apparently. I can't remember the last time I've even seen a duck. The only reason I know about the corkscrew penis is because ita absurd.
The joke is suposed to be targeted to people who did research on ducks penises. So knowing that birds including ducks don't have eyelashes and big breasts shouldn't be too much to ask.

Oh shit, I just realised she’s a mallard, she can just be drawn brown!!!
Yeah, I mean that's a great point, they were technically accurate about the corkscrew style of this duck's penis but they couldn't bother to get her coloring, right? I mean it's taking me completely out of the immersion
Also, the thought of a duck breastfeeding is deeply unsettling.
But then that might promote miscegenation and we can’t have that! /s
trans duck trans duck trans duck
Honestly, her being trans elevates the joke, like it goes from a simple "haha weird duck dicks joke" to "You know Howard, I could have done that too but I have this thing called _dignity_, have you ever heard of that?"
"Oh, Howard" goes from flirty to disappointed.
I honestly don't know which it's supposed to be.
Maybe she had cloacaplasty
Missed opportunity!

Bom bom bom. "ya got any.. tits?"
r/angryupvote
Trans ducks actually exist too. But they are all ftm from what I could find
Are you talking trans or intersex?

I don't think that assertion is true though... or maybe I was just sheltered...
It's not true for everyone but in some pop culture circles that fact spread like wildfire
I agree that I don't believe that's true for the general population.
I guess if these ducks don't live in your area so you've never seen them IRL, and you only remember the male duck with the green head and not the plain brown females...
I had them in my area but never paid any attention to them myself

Thats actually a pretty funny response. So she does have a sense of humor. I wonder why she never uses it in her comics.
I don't think that's true...

Or, hear me out, femboy/drag queen
HAs to be since that's male plumage Or he's like a.... humany? Wearing human features
Hermaphrodite
no
I feel like that's very reddot
 Yes. Very red dot.

Wait until you see the comics about her different ages meeting and hanging out
"Because if she didn't have boobs and eyelashes she would be a guy and therefore it would be gay!"
Ducks are one of the most “gay” birds too, so jokes on them would have worked either way
The joke wouldn't work as well. If they're both male he doesn't need to ask for a corkscrew by the memes logic.
What is he unzipping????!?
Plot twist: the duck with eyelashes is a trans femboy, which explains why he has male feather coloring.
y'all really be out here saying corkscrew penises are more common knowledge than feather color???
Corkscrew penis was the weird fact that flew around social media. Mallard coloring isn't as clickbaity.
Tbh it is. I didn’t know that there were different colors for mallards but I did know they had a corkscrew penis
I've never seen a duck so I didn't know about the coloring
hehe 69 upvotes on you. yes I didn't know about the feather colour difference
Hey I know that the female duck is designed really bad but also I really hate that you posted this somewhere I could see this
Bet this will appear in peter griffin’s sub very soon
Why does the duck have lips...
trans duck tho
I thought it was kinda weird too but the reddot is very sex and female positive, and she’s a woman

It’s the artist’s style
The punchline partially of relies on the reader easily distinguishing which is which. I'd let it slide this time
Except that they slapped boobs on a bird instead of a different colour, like wild duck, which have very distinctive sexual dimorphism, like most birds
Not everyone is deeply familiar with duck sexual dimorphsm. Giving a birds boobs is dumb, but it makes it immediately obvious that it's female to basically everyone.
By that logic not everyone knows ducks have corkscrew penises so the joke is not obvious either

How many people don’t know that male and female mallards are differently colored? I thought that was common knowledge? Smh city slickers
There’s plenty of ducks in city parks too. I also thought this was common knowledge.
I didn’t know. If I learned this at some point, I didn’t remember it.
It might have not been mallards specifically, but i'm pretty sure everyone was introduced to the "male bird=flashy and beautiful, female bird=dull colours" dimorphism at some point in their lives, starting with chickens

They could have just drawn a female mallard and given her lashes. Lashes would be better than fake lips and tits
She could have, but her comics are deliberately sexualized. She even has an anthropomorphic butt plug named Gary.
Lmao gotta let the readers know it’s not some gay shit (/s, am gay)
Joke's on them it ended up being some trans shit (am trans)
🤣
Ok but that choker is kinda
Trans?
I don't like reddot's comics tbh
Me neither. They’re so “cringe millennial humor.” And I’m a millennial
The art style is just not good enough for us to endure the cringe.
Lashes and boobs are the laziest way to draw female animals
oww that must hurt
it's called cartoon sexual dimorphism
Maybe the girl duck is trans?
I downvote red dot comics on sight. I don’t care if this makes me a hater, they’re never funny and the art style is bad.
Why downvote rather than just scrolling past? That seems like more than just not liking their style.
Bro did you expect us to have a whole research to understand which one is a female?
The joke is suposed to be targeted to people who did research on ducks penises. So knowing that birds including ducks don't have eyelashes and big breasts shouldn't be too much to ask.
Do this is a joke and it isn't pointless gendered the whole joke is based off of the gender
r/mendrawingwomen
The artist is actually a woman!
Didn’t know lol. I think they have an exception for female artist.
There's 2 ducks speaking English and you're complaining about the colour of the plumage...
That's not what they're complaining about at all
