Well, I happen to think “tree jizz” has greater specificity and a nicer ring to it.
I mean, really, who calls it “plant jizz?” That’s just crazy.

All in all, though, a refeshingly edgy, awkwardly incisive take on the world rather than yet another round of lukewarm observations about being 40-something or whatever.

Don’t get the one with Debbie the barista. If I’m guessing right then it’s supposed to be funny that she’s not conventionally attractive/perfect like the poster girl? But who gives tiny rats a*se, why would the looks of my barista bother me? Also I’m a firm believer in the Rhald Dahl twits philosophy when it comes to appearance, that maybe her resting face, with a smile her warmth and positivity may come through. [Dyes hair blue and screams while crying] LEAVE DEBBIE ALONE!!
haha, witty comics otherwise.

J from Essex innit…
I’m sure you were joking, but just so that everyone else gets it… the joke with the barista is that all the posters depict that the employees are happy to do the job and the business motto is about pleasing the customer, but the reality is that the employees don’t feel that way despite the job they took on. It’s not the physical appearance, it’s the lack of joy in doing the job.
It’s funny because it’s true!
