This has 14 upvotes. So clearly OTHER people get it…I don’t get it. Do the arms positions have something to do with it? Is it the fact that they’re cacti? Why is it titled bacon?
Look. It’s Thursday. My brain is still fried from Tuesday. I feel like someone is going to say something super obvious, and I’ll feel stupid.
Bacon is the title of the daily comic strip this panel comes from. The joke is that the cactus on the left has its “arms” (branches?) point up, as most cacti do, and is looking at the cactus on the right with its arms down, and that cactus on the right is explaining that, as a cactus, it doesn’t really have any other way to show how it feels.
I don’t think you’re missing anything, it’s not super-duper funny – just a little silly 😊 .

I’m with you. My only theory is that saguaros usually have their arms up, and so he’s being a contrarian by putting them down? All I got lol idk.
That’s what I think it is too. I think the issue is that I didn’t find it funny so I keep making it over trying to find the hidden joke.
No worries, it’s been a rough week.
