We've all been there - that frustrating moment when it feels like nobody in your household is paying attention to what you're saying. This hilarious comic perfectly captures that universal family experience with a touch of whimsy and charm.
The four-panel comic shows the progression of a common household communication breakdown. First, we see a character absorbed in reading the newspaper while another character complains, "You're not listening to me!" In the second panel, the same character asks a taller figure, "Why aren't you listening to me?" while a small character plays with a toy car nearby.
By the third panel, frustration peaks with the declaration, "No one in this house listens to me!" The punchline comes in the final panel with an adorable cat's confused expression and thought bubble simply saying, "WHAT?" - perfectly embodying that pets are often our most attentive family members, even when they haven't got a clue what we're saying!
This comic resonates with parents, partners, and siblings alike who've experienced those moments of talking into the void at home. The simple yet expressive character designs from "Silly Botes" (credited in the corner) capture the universal nature of family communication challenges.
Next time you feel unheard at home, remember - at least your cat might be pretending to listen, even if they have no idea what you're saying!
