Are you sure it's twice and not half in that Boss Dharma? The joke doesn't quite make sense.

Ha, a very American answer. No, this is correct. They're actually talking about how Koreans work too much and they need to chill out. Hence why Dashum's son is trying to weasel his way out of doing homework by talking about how Koreans study too much. The Germany bit might also be throwing you off. Contrary to the cultural stereotype of Germans being excessive hard workers they actually have one of the lowest labor rates in the OECD.

I don't blame you for being confused. Time was Koreans took pride in having such a high rank on this metric. There's been a pretty heavy sea change in how employment culture has been viewed in the country over the last few years, where it's being seen less as a nationalist work ethic and more of a contributing factor to mental illness and suicide. The massive liberal victories in last night's elections are symptomatic of this. South Korean liberals aren't great on economics, but they have been talking about making COVID-19 forced reforms to employment culture more permanent.

I really, really hate how OBH draws mouths. The characters NEVER look happy, always looks like people are either neutral or grimacing. Its just too much to look at.

Everything about this entire story has been pretty stupid, but there's two things that I find kind of disturbing. They're camp counselors so you'd think the last place they'd want to screw each other's brains out is the workplace where they spend days looking after a bunch of little kids.

The other thing is how the rabbits picked the camp grounds as a place to hide their Easter eggs in, without informing their friends that they'll be in the area that day. Not to mention the implication that kids will be swarming the grounds the next day looking for eggs while Carl and Leona are still having their honeymoon.

Holbrook never thinks these details through, but this one just comes across as rather creepy to me.


I love the sudden artstyle change for the Wolf God's eyes.

Everyone's aware they live in a world where they have to deal with that little dipshit, Ruthie, so that's why they're grimacing all the time.
