You've shared a comic strip from Poorly Drawn Lines, a well-known webcomic series. Here's a quick breakdown of the humor and structure:
πΌ️ Comic Strip Summary
Panel 1: A character advises, “Use your hands in conversation to help project confidence.”
Panel 2: Another character (Jonathan) walks in and says, “Hello, Jonathan,” while slightly raising his hand.
Panel 3–4: The first character takes the advice quite literally—slapping Jonathan repeatedly with exaggerated hand movements.
Punchline: The visual gag lies in the misinterpretation of advice—using hands not to gesture, but to physically slap the other person.
π Why It's Funny
It plays on the idea of literal vs. intended meaning, a classic source of absurd humor.
The comic twists a common public speaking tip into something unexpectedly aggressive and ridiculous.
The deadpan expressions amplify the absurdity.
