So, are you going to tell me that nobody had made a Trixie statuette out of forks, knives and spoons?

Yes I know how is supposed to work, but it doesn’t.  
There is such a thing as too minimalistic, also the picture does not fit the lines.

@DrNazus  
I generally require at least stick people to understand that something is supposed to be a person. This is just sticks. Sticks aren’t people.
 
@Officer Hot-Pants  
“Reaching” is being generous.

@Softy  
I have a tough time explaining things sometimes. I kept thinking “How do they not see it yet? There are clearly two bits of cutlery next to each other and two more in an L shape.”

@DrNazus  
Ah, okay. Thank you. I have no familiarity with this meme or the comic from which it is derived so it was a complete mystery to me.
 
This is the strangest, most reaching meme I’ve ever seen.

There’s nothing about this that suggests OP’s being a duck. It’s just a silly comparison to this:

@DrNazus  
Thank you! It really made no sense until your explanation.
 
Now that I understand it, I can safely say this meme is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen.

@Spacefrog  
Minimalism. >>60359

@Spacefrog  
The lines are meant to represent the number of characters and their respective stances on every panel.

@DrNazus  

 
That’s just it.  
How do you go from, go from a comic, to a set of lines? That still escapes me.

@Officer Hot-Pants  
No. The idea is:  
One figure, preferably walking through a door.  
One figure facing another, who’s at a desk.  
Two figures facing each other  
One figure standing up and another figure who is lying down.
 
If you look into the Cadbortion tag which is below the image, you can see the pattern.

@DrNazus  
Really? A square of four panels is a pretty damn old format for comics. Is that really all there is to the reference?

When you ask some explanation but some people are busy arguing. :(

i don’t get it

@Officer Hot-Pants  
See @TheLoneLampman  
It’s following the “cadbortion” formula. Though I don’t think the crossed cutlery fits at all. Check out the tag to understand more.

@Chaoslux  
Wait CAD stopped?
 
He just rebranded right? As much as I want too he was making too much easy money with that stuff.
 
Damn, this makes me want to rewatch CAD the annotated series. It’s ““quality[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2wxXQrmCrk) stuff.

@Tragiclady  
I don’t follow. How is the top half a reference to the bottom?
 
@edzombie  
Speak for yourself. This one completely flies over my head.

@Chaoslux  
It didn’t really help that CAD is already a pale imitation of pre-existing comics that basically just goes for “tell one lame joke really poorly each strip”.

@Tragiclady  
Indeed. I didn’t know what it was until very recently and I think it’s really flat as a meme. But hey, when in Rome…

@TheLoneLampman  
Yeah. In my opinion the people whose brains aren’t trained to equate those lines with the loss comic are the lucky ones.

@Antonyourknee  
Webcomic that started making one-off comics about gamers, then it got popular, started doing more character development, more arcs, and peppered some one-off jokes based on the new game around the block in between. And then suddenly, BAM, miscarriage arc. It something that is so heavy and completely out of place in a gaming webcomic that tons of people were pissed off, and then it started fading into obscurity. (He then later pissed off whatever remaining audience he had by ending the comic abruptly and out of fucking nowhere).

@Antonyourknee  
it’s an out of nowhere miscarriage plot that was badly done in terms of storytelling and art.

Congratulations Op. You got the reference. /sarcasm.
