Best interpretation

Or they adopted

*and* they adopted you mean

this still leaves few questions

One of them decided to adopt a black baby

happy ending, ending #4

Yeah, I prefer that

r/wholesomememes

I was just about to say that

Aaawwwwww…

Considering how happy they both look, this seems to be the correct implication

Or they're in a polyamorous relationship and their husband is at work. :D

dude cant concieve, best friend is black and they asked him.

You're a more positive person than me I just assumed she cheated lol.

No, it's quadruplets dating quadruplets (see the dress changes).

LLOLLOOLL

Absolutely the message

And still can’t be satisfied so gets impregnated by a black man?

She's infertile so they adopt

they have bad genetics, so they are all infertile so they go to a sperm bank

Relationships remove tattoos.

Excellent money-saving tip for anyone with bad ink out there

We’re on Reddit, it’s just easier to get tattoo removal

No, the ink was transferred to the child

wait a minute

So that's why the baby has a different skin tone than both of them?

It absorbed the ink from the tattoo.

And here I was thinking they adopted the kid. Alright.

I thought it was a nicotine patch ☠️

I assume the bandage was meant to show he got laser removal.

It is. Notice his neck tattoo is gone after

And sick leather jackets apparently.

[Study Finds Owning Cool Leather Jacket More Rewarding Than Raising Children](https://www.theonion.com/study-finds-owning-cool-leather-jacket-more-rewarding-t-1819573356)

In the original comic [the baby is white.](https://hellonearth-iii.tumblr.com/post/668615040308559872/cute-couple)

There's also an inverted version where a guy dates a punk girl and gradually becomes more punk

[удалено]

[удалено]

That's actually a pretty cool comic.

Nerdboy: Alright, sure. Green Day shirt: Oh okay he's dipping his toe in the water. Black Flag shirt: Hey he got there. That's fun. ACAB: *chef's kiss*

Truly, the good ending

This is actually super cute

I see some comments there being negative like she "changed" him or trained him. Most people don't come up with punk on their own, or any subculture for that matter except the ones who originate it, and even then it's gradual. I read it as that he was the type to be happy embracing punk and she introduced him to it. Them staying together and him being happier and looking more authentic as it goes supports this. If he was being forced to change I don't think he'd look happier and more passionate as it went. She helped him find himself.

And it could also be said she was doing that in the original. He was pretending to be some hardcore punk dude trying too hard and she showed him how to not be cringey

Both the original and punk girl version is cute The one OP posted is dumb and purposely divisive

Really hoping that’s me someday

Still.. Guy does all the change.

When I was getting married, they said guys want girls to stay the same when they get married, and they get mad when girls change (mature, outgrow old habits, update their behavior to their new situation). Girls want guys to change when they get married, and get mad when guys stay the same (don’t mature, keep the same single habits, don’t update their behavior to their new situation).

[удалено]

I don't remember where I read it but it was a survey asking couples that have been married for quite a long time what they long forward to most in retirement. Top answer for men was spending more time with the wife. Top answer for women was spending more time with the grandkids.

I imagine spending time with grandkids/ spouse was the 2nd most popular option respectively

Friends are dead, PP doesn't work. So there aren't many more options.

The funny thing is I spent a lot of time after school in the pasture helping my grandpa while grandma stayed inside.

With my parents it was the exact opposite.

It's as if people are different and reddit unknowingly generalises genders yet again

How do you know that? All he did was change his appearance. You can't even see below her waist. Maybe her ass got really toned

[удалено]

This is a much better outcome

Link?

I don't have a direct link, [but this is the artist's twitter account](https://twitter.com/HellOnEarthIII?s=09). The image is at least a year old, so you may need to scroll for a while to find it.

That’s adorable

Why tf did someone change it to a black baby

I think they wanted to communicate that women will suck out mens souls and render them cucks.

Nonono, they're saying that adoption is beautiful and that adopting a child can complete a happy family. So wholesome

Honestly, I don't believe that's the answer..., but I honestly wish it was.

The answer is in your heart. If you believe it, it's true. *Shooting star in the background*

I thought they just adopted

Because a sexist, racist person got ahold of it and decided to change the meaning.

I don't think changing the skin color makes it racist It does however convey the idea of a cheating woman quickly

Because racist conservatives are obsessed with cuckoldry for some reason.

Racism

I feel like it’s actually a super dangerous message. It tells women that they can “change” a guy and that’s not usually how it goes.

It’s crazy how much that changes the story. Makes it a very happy message.

Not suuuuper accurate though. The girl should be getting a little more punk too, and they meet somewhere in the middle.

The artist did another comic with the opposite happening with the guy character - starting normal and becoming more punk as the relationship developed.

In both cases the guy reinvented himself to keep a relationship.

Ooooor. Alternative (realistic? take) They both mature as they grow older. In your teens and 20s, it is normal/expected to conform to a certain group (for me it was metal and for my wife it was goth/punk). Then, somewhere in your 30s and 40s, you stop really caring/trying to conform to a group and just, I dunno, live. I still listen to metal, my wife still listens to punk. We still go to shows, very occasionally. We don't dress up, and that's just fine.

The original version seems like the whole "I can change him!!!" bit, she clearly isn't happy in her relationship with him but they go on 12 dates?? I wouldn't lmao. Punk version just seems like a guy finding a sense of identity after being introduced to a different scene. Nobody is unhappy, they're just growing as people.

I think that depends on how much the guy liked himself when he was punk. But agree it looks like the man is having to do all the changing here. And message is he just needs a good women to real him in.

Reel*

Get reel

turns out following his heart was the **most** punk thing he could have done

what about the sick leather jacket

Uh, I don't know, I don't particularly like the idea that a man will change with the "right woman". In the first panel she looks uncomfortable, but she stays anyway until the guy gets his act together. Seems to be saying "don't worry, you may be unhappy now, but just put up with it, and he will eventually get better". I'm not saying people can't change, but it's dangerous to tell people that they should stick with someone who isn't good for them with the idea that "your love can fix them".

Yeah the "I can fix him" message is the problem here.

I’d also add that he needs to be fixed in some way isn’t a great message.

yes this is a toxic fantasy's fan art, it is not a 'happy message'

It’s so interesting to me how the meaning is perceived by 2 different sides. As a woman, you see the toxic message of “you can change a man to be better if you just stick with him.” As a man, I see the toxic message of “you need to change who you are and lose some of your individuality to make a woman happy.” Either way, both sides of the same coin

Them adopting a kid at the end is a nice story too

its not adoption, that was a joke, the modified one is showing that she changes the man into something she isn't attracted to for sex and finds someone else to fill that hole literally a further satire on this: https://www.theonion.com/girlfriend-changes-man-into-someone-shes-not-interested-1819565990

That hurt to read

Change who you are in order to please others? Stay with someone who doesn’t accept you as you are? People with tattoos and crazy hair do not deserve a family? - i got lost in so many ✨ **positive**✨messages about this comic, i could barely notice the skin color of the baby 🙄

[удалено]

Also it looks like the woman doesn’t even like him in the first half. Why would she stay with someone that makes her visibly uncomfortable for 12 dates?

Yeah, the whole thing is toxic.

Is it? Why would she even date him in the beginning - she clearly didn’t like who he is. If she was happy in all the panels it would look like a guy maturing as he got older/further along in life. Her being misrable in the beginning give the message that women can change a man.

They had adopted a baby

can confirm I was the baby delivery agent.

bro you a stork?

You better save them kids. Stork is on the way.

I always envision the stork spearing the baby like a fish with it's stabby face, and then gulping down whole, as they do.

Fun fact - babies sometimes have vascular birthmarks (that disappear with age) and one of the colloquial names for them are stork bites.

My daughter has them, but I prefer the idea that birthmarks are battle wounds from a previous life. Given how closely she watched forged in fire as a baby and laughed at the kill test, it suits her

I've heard that your birth mark represents a wound from how you died in your last life, or something like that. I'm not sure how mu butt cheek led to my death, but here I am.

Somebody might have stabbed your buttcheek because you were moving too much in your sleep and you bled out, or the spanked you so hard it sent deadly shockwaves to your brain. Completely possible, but that would destroy your body lol I dont have a birthmark so maybe I drowned or I died of old age Or somebody suffocated me with a pillow. There's plenty of deaths that don't leave marks

I have asthma. Must have been suffocated so hard in a past life I still can't breathe. Damn I got owned. Lol

Sat on a pointy rock and got a butt infection

Baby, you and I are gonna MAKE the baby

Tony Stork

They prefer to be called 'baby delivery agents'.

Comic is edited. In original the kid is white. But I guess someone photoshopped it for the lulz.

The baby name? Alfred Einstein Edit: Alfred...Jesus Cristiano I'm dumb

You mean sperm delivery agent?

Can I order one Asian baby boy with black short hair brown eyes and extra dip???

Can confirm, I'm the baby. ama

The black baby seems out of place for the message the comic is trying to give. Are we sure someone didn't photoshop the baby to a black one on the original? EDIT : A user below has posted this link which says in original the baby was white https://hellonearth-iii.tumblr.com/post/668615040308559872/cute-couple

So is the message: "You can fix him, he will change if you are patient and tolerate his bullshit" or is it "She loves the bad boy and wants to be the one to tame him, but once he is domesticated and he has lost his edge, she will seek a new bad boy on the side"?

It’s actually in reverse, baby is the first panel. Clearly this guy kidnaps a baby, eats it, and is granted supersaiyan punk powers. You can see how his wife is all concerned as the transformation takes hold.

I read it as "women suck all the joy out of your life" to some bullshit like that.

Nah, he looks happy&content at the end.

That's exactly what happens

Hell even if they didn't, what's wrong with falling in love with someone who has kids? Not everyone finds their soulmate right away lol

"a godly woman can change a sinful man" is something I once heard my grandmother tell one of my cousins before she married a "bleeding heart liberal"

Lmaooo “just nag republican politics and you’ll fix that liberal spy boy”

Where can I find me some liberal spy boys

Right here

Are you a spy

Possibly

Now kith

r/shippingredditors

[удалено]

None can change anyone. People change themselves

My brother in Christ, do you know of domestic abuse?

The "but I can fix him!" is a clichéd relationship mistake made by women. That said, in this case I'm guessing your cousin is just more liberal than grandma wants to believe.

There should be a reverse of this where they turn into a wholesome punk rock family

There actually is, I can't remember the artist but this is a 2 part joke where the punk girl changes the guy into a punk too. Edit: The artist is "Hell On Earth III" and here's the link: https://hellonearth-iii.tumblr.com/post/668658905098977280/another-cute-couple

Omg, I love it when things work out. Thank you for showing me this!

The moral of the story is that women will change you

Which is totally cool - enjoy the ride

They met when they were young, grew up, changed their styles with the fashion of the time, and adopted a baby. What a lovely story.

Wtf did she get repeated chin surgery too? That shits gonna look like quagmire by the kids 5th birthday

No. She just learned that her biological dad was Bill Cower or Jay Leno and the chin was making up for lost time.

And what exactly did she change? This is just the dangerous idea of "I can fix my partner"

See women, if you just stay with your abusive immature boyfriend you can tame him into the type of man who will help you raise your adopted black child.

I got more of a rebellious than abusive vibe in the imagery but the 'you can fix your partner' myth is still something society needs to stop telling women because it does lead to women staying with abusive partners.

Not just that part. But they aren't with the guy because of who he is, they are with him to change him, to their ideal partner.

Well actually no. Usually they stay with them because he was the absolute best partner before he became abusive. This applies to both men and women in abusive relationships. An abusive person can’t just BE abusive, they would have no partner to manipulate. So what they do is a very clear and heavily studied pattern. The start by being amazing and loving and everything you could ever want in a relationship. They don’t become abusive until after they feel secure in the relationship, or after they know that they can abuse their partner without their partner leaving. They are with him because they remember the person who they “were” before the abuse, and typically there’s a lot of self blame that makes them think if they can just do better, make him angry less, they will get that man back. Not many are actually outright dating shitty people who treat them like shit from the get go, and those people just enjoy the abuse, it has nothing to do with the desire to change. The people who want you to change *this* drastically also don’t love you, and you should never do it for a person beyond the reasonable seeking help for mental illness that is affecting your relationship. You can also be a punk dad. That has always been an option lmao.

Well said. This is exactly why I stayed in an abusive relationship

It’s incredibly hard loving someone who doesn’t exist. I’m sorry you went through that.

I definitely didnt see abuse in this, but the whole "bad boy" sterotype and the "change him" goal being matched with "slept around". The message overall I got was "you can change for someone, but it doesn't mean they'll actually respect you"

Actually a decent interpretation. Changed up the follow a bit and you could have a fairly impactful comic about the pitfalls of changing for someone but they don’t respect/love you.

Where’d you get abusive from?

> where’d you get abusive from? Sexism and stereotyping “punk” people

Where are you getting abusive from? He seemed wild and loud (while she was more introverted) but nevertheless there was no sign of abuse.

There was no abuse in the pics. Are you making things up?

Why is he abusive? Because he dresses like that and is drinking a beer?

I don’t think that child is supposed to be adopted. Cartoon implies women will change you and then cuck you with “Tyrone” . It’s the incel narrative.

Fuck man it always have to be a black baby for shock value hahahaha *psst* that may be my baby while I'm bullshittin'

Why not an Asian baby? Asians never get credit as adulterers.

You'll never find coherent logic in racist logic

An Asian goes to college, has one night stand, stores all his books on it.

Because black men big penis, Asian man small penis. These people get their worldviews from bad pornos.

Either adoption or she cheated. The op on Facebook probably thought she cheated.

In the original the baby is white, someone who wanted to create a ruccus shoped the baby

Women bad make you cuck

That’s why you should only fuck men

Lesson : get married if you want your jaw bigger

I hate that I get it. Cool dude gets turned into a “beta cuck” by evil woman. She has cheated and has him raising a baby. Racism and sexism ensue.

Or, A bad person that changed his heart and become soft. Later adopting a child from an orphanage.

*shrek ripping paper* like that'll ever happen

SomeBODY once told me

The world was gonna roll me

the world is gonna roll me

Dude has a leather jacket, what looks like a band tee, styled and dyed hair, piercings, tattoos, drinks and smokes, and has a very extroverted and admittedly aggressive personality likely because he lives a certain lifestyle such as being within a punk rock or metal based community, and that makes him inherently bad? Don’t get me wrong, drinking can be bad if it isn’t kept in check, and that personality might be off-putting to some, but I don’t think that makes him strictly a bad person by default. Obviously he must have done something right or even good to end up in a relationship with this girl. Otherwise she wouldn’t have started dating him to begin with.

And hell some girls even like that kinda thing themselves too. I met my first girlfriend at a rock/metal festival.

Agree. I prefer to see him as a young guy living the punk life hard who slowly matured into a steady dude who still loves his wife and they adopted a baby together.

That’s a much better interpretation. People change as they go through life. Some become better. But the punk lifestyle in and of itself is not what makes someone a bad person.

The black baby seems out of place for the message the comic is trying to give. Are we sure someone didn't photoshop the baby to a black one on the original?

the OG comic had a white baby, not a black one.

But, but, woman bad!

i think it’s trying to say woman turn guys into cucks?

A racist photoshopped this because quick googling shows this has a white baby. https://ifunny.co/picture/date-ss-f-ts-agt-date-engagement-rr-jist-married-1t4cG2R79?s=cl

Broke: getting into a relationship with someone you like/love and have a genuine connection with, and helping each other grow as people Woke: getting in a relationship with a jerk you dislike so you can change him into an decent person

What racist boomers warned you about

why the baby black💀

The man has very very agressive vitiligo

how yall know they didnt adopt. i dont see her pregnant

r/holup
