My friend doesn't get it.
Few people understand why I glare them after obliterating a perfectly nice patch of flowers.
I thought the joke was about the common mutation where your second toe is longer than your big toe.
Your explanation makes way more sense.
I thought it was a foot fetish thing
I thought city folk didn't like that feeling of grass tickling your feet.
You mean it's not the grass poking between your toes?
Grass poking was what I thought too.
I mean, I like the feeling of grass between my toes.
This really depends on the type of grass and time of year
I think we can assume that this is spring/early summer, but yeah - you aren't wrong. I can't see myself enjoying grass between my toes if I have to shove my bare feet through a meter of snow.
are people traipsing through planted lilies or what?
Very common, at least here in California, for there to be nice blooms of flowers that people decide to obliterate so they can take pictures for social media. By the time the 80th troglodyte traipses through the flowers, they've ruined it for everyone else that might enjoy them - and the flowers are fucked.
I can almost guarantee that this is the point of the comic. The only other interpretation I've seen that I can accept is that it's actually about the grass between your toes, which some people dislike.
why would they need to trample them to take photos?
Because they aren't interested in the flowers, they're interested in how they look with the flowers all around them. It's a selfish act for vain individuals.
