Description

Here’s a detailed, accessible description of the comic:

Panel 1: A man at a bar, leaning on the counter, clears his throat. He’s dressed casually—wearing a short-sleeved shirt and has dark hair. A second character, wearing glasses, listens attentively.

Text: "Yeah. I got one. ahem So, a man walks into a bar."

Panel 2: The scene shows the bar interior with various patrons. The narrator reflects on the nature of the bar and himself.

Text: "The bar is the only place that feels like home." "But, it only feels like home when he’s drunk."

Panel 3: A visual representation of the drunk man is juxtaposed with the sober man, emphasizing two different states of being.

Text: "The drunk version of the man lives in that bar." "The sober man has no home."

Panel 4: The sober man looks concerned, while another character listens.

Text: "The sober man only allows himself to realize this during the twenty steps from the bar’s door to the glass of beer and whiskey, and it is very painful."

Panel 5: The sober man seems confused and frustrated, raising a hand as if asking a question.

Text: "…W-where was the joke?"

Panel 6: A character in an apron, possibly the bartender, seems amused and responds to the sober man.

Text: "Oh. Sorry. I’ll do the short version."

Panel 7: The scene shifts back to the bar setting, with the man ready to tell the punchline.

Text: "A man walks into a bar and says, 'Ouch!'"
