        Molly is MDMA,

        It’s apparently burning man and all the problem guys are freaked out by the bears tripping Molly and just staring.

        The last pannel, the dude on the left is a Molly bear.

          its in portland and he calls it burning man camp so im thinking its something like the old bar camp but instead of being tech its like a side party for folks who attend burning man.

          There’s the missing link. It’s been about 20 years since I knew anyone who took mdma, and back then they called it eckies.

          At risk of sounding out of touch, there’s no way I could have known what anything in panel 4 was supposed to mean.

            Speaking as a perpetual wallflower who has never been to a rave in my life, I found it understandable. Admittedly I’ve heard the term “molly” in reference to ecstasy, but you see as guy wide-eyed staring at someone who looks incredibly uncomfortable about it. Seems pretty obvious that’s the “molly bear” that uses “prolonged eye contact” to make “uh-ohs” so uncomfortable that they either leave or at least don’t come to another one.

          That’s a man not a bear though, what does bear mean in this context?

          Life is strange haha

            Well, if it’s using the term in the same way as the first couple panels, it’s a big hairy gay man.

        Maybe the joke is not to judge a book by its cover? Or that it’s nice to go to safe events where bad people are harassed until they leave?

          I thought it was a smidgen of self awareness about how quickly we judge people.

            That was my thought in the first two panels but the last two seem to reverse that. But hell I probably already put way more thought into it than I needed to already.
