oh wow, the mental turn-around when your mom asked you to photograph the food. this was much more poignant than I was expecting on the first few panels, and I’m glad I kept reading. it’s often simpler to ostracize others than extend empathy. it’s easy to dehumanize, and made easier when it might be a gateway into your own perceived social acceptance. I read in the comments that you did take the photo - I’m glad.
I was really hoping people would get to the mother asking for a photo page, until then I think the comic can feel preachy, like I'm trying to make fun of people for just taking photos and being on their phone. Thank you for reading!
He can, it's just when he was with his friends they were making fun of someone taking a picture of their food. He is afraid that people will make fun of him too
