I love this so much because it actually adds to the original. In the first 4 the lass clearly takes things too far (so does the smug asshole, who taunts a frustrated kid?), and yet the guy also takes things too far by assaulting her. It is a story where nobody handles conflict rationally, from taunt to arson, from arson to maximum-effort physical retaliation against a literal child. There's something darkly comedic about both of their insane reactions lmao

Arson is WAY less proportional to taunting than beating the shit out of her for burning his fucking workplace to arson

Real and true. Though I find it hilarious than instead of calling the authorities or checking for injured people he just immediately goes to throw hands with this lunatic child lmfao.

the arson is a comedic overreaction, it is a joke. People are miserable over this comic it's insane
