    Alright, let me ask you both: isn’t expecting a message like “everything worm-man says is wrong” or “everything worm-man opposes is good, actually” a little too simplistic? Don’t we want a little nuance, even in our absurdist, 2-panel comic strips? I feel like I shouldn’t have to spell out that the worm-man is capable of mixing fact and fiction to muddy the waters, but here we are.

      I hear you from the realism perspective, but this is (hopefully) satire. Either you go all in with satire, or you don’t - you can’t half-foot a message when your audience is relatively unknown
