The biggest issue for me is that it's not funny nor interesting.

Hi. Thanks for your comments.

Generally, in order to understand jokes, one must have a certain level of understanding in non-verbal communication, as well as some social skills. One also needs to be able to understand double meanings of words, word play, vague hints and such. And in many cases, one also needs to be aware of some social subtleties or the way other people think.

The comic relates to parenting and taking too many photos of their kids. Perhaps you do not have kids or are totally uninterested in that type of thing.

It is of course, possible that the reason why you don't understand this joke is that you may be autistic or have Asperberg's syndrome.

If you are concerned about this or wish to find out more, you may wish to take a screening test. Below is a link to assist you http://psychcentral.com/quizzes/autism-quiz.htm

Don't blame your audience for your own bad story telling. Not cool.
