Darrell suspected someone had once again slipped him a trick spoon with the concave side reversed.

Reminder that drawing two curved lines in empty space and calling one "convex" and one "concave" is hella confusing.

Edit: Are you guys picturing a block with a convex side and a curved side? Because that's four lines. Two unconnected lines are only convex or concave with reference to which side you're talking about.

This would also be perfect as a Ballard Street comic.

There's a weird kind of poetry seeing this post next to one from c/greentext.

This guy reminds me extremely vaguely of Alec from Technology Connections

He's holding the spoon upside-down, in case you're not seeing that...

Oh, thanks for explaining it. I was doing a thought experiment, not commenting on Gary Larson's drawing skills.

Is it the raised eyebrow, the pursed lips? I see it too, but no. Alec would have bought two bowls of soup

And disassembled one of them, of course. lol. And yes, lips/nose first, the hair even though it's wrong still somehow. heh.
