I sell seashells on your seashore.
[see more comics] [slide me a $3 tip] [SHOP]
am i insane or are people not getting the point of this comic? everyone is sayin this is wholesome, but the point seems to be very antiwork (based) and saying that even a “nice” boss at a job u enjoy is robbing you of valuable time. why are people in the notes saying this is cute?
I don’t normally respond to stuff on this webbed site, but it seems like it is you that is missing the point of the comic. This isn’t “antiwork”, Nook is saying that work is any task that needs completing. Work is good, its when we’re expected to toil and suffer for it that its seen as bad. CODEC collecting flowers and seashells to sell is work, but they enjoy it. Part of being human is doing work. Not just the capatalist explotation kind of work, but just…work. It takes work to make art, to cook, to be human.
Majority of us that play animal crossing put a lot of damn work into it, but enjoy it fully. And that is what work should be, something we want to do and are also very handsomely rewarded for doing. The problem is you’re taking this as a direct translation to bosses, which is only part of a problem in our jobs. The big problem is a job robs you of time because of how deeply corrupted our system is. Because you’re expected to toil forty hours a week to just survive. And you get scraps in return for that time you’ll never get back. And most jobs we take and toil in aren’t fulfilling and meaningful or things we want to do.
Nook reminding us that work isn’t this negative thing is wholesome. Reminding us that it can be better. I also like seeing Nook in a more positive light cause he’s always given grief for the crime of *checks notes* giving you a home without expectation of paying back the debt unless you want to upgrade.
just because its something you wanted to do doesnt mean its not work

Consider: Hobbits unused to carrying swords, initially VERY unclear on when it’s appropriate to whip em out
Merry and Pippin have a disagreement over, idk, whether cake or pie is better and both draw their swords like ‘HAVE AT THEE’
meanwhile Aragorn in the background like, boys please, please boys those are sharp
Frodo: *napping*
Boromir: hey Frodo wake up we need to talk-
Sam: he’s having his nap sir
Boromir: Sam please this is important
Sam: *draws his fucking sword* HE’S HAVIN HIS NAP GO AWAY
Frodo is slightly more sensible & very polite
Frodo: *sees Aragorn with his sword drawn* oh is there trouble. should i get out my sword
Aragorn: …no that’s alright
Frodo: are you sure it’s no trouble
Aragorn: Frodo if i want you to draw your sword I’ll. I’ll say so alright
Frodo: ah, alright :) just say the word
Boromir: *grabs Sam’s sword* ok I’m confiscating this till you learn how to use it appropriately
Sam: *does not let go*
Boromir: *pulls harder*
Sam: *still does not let go*
Boromir: *slowly dragging Sam across the ground* HOW ARE YOU SO STRONG
Frodo: *waking up* WHAT… is going on
Boromir: *holding sword like 6 feet up in the air w Sam dangling off it* um
Sam: I’m handling it Mr Frodo go back to sleep
Boromir: *yelling* HOW ARE YOU SO HEAVY
Sam: *also yelling* WE’RE A VERY DENSE PEOPLE
Frodo: *likewise yelling* I WAS ASLEEP FOR 2 MINUTES WHY ARE WE YELLING
Boromir: UGH fine!! keep it! *drops Sam on the fucking ground*
*insert Merry and Pippin cheering here*
Boromir never lives it down. Merry & Pippin forever after refer to the incident as ‘that time Sam bested Boromir in a fight’. :)
gandalf: you should have cooked some food that requires two hands to eat. thats how i got bilbo to let go of my staff all those years ago
Hol' up
There was seven bulbs when mew found the flowers right? Looking at the picture of the babs on mews tummy and back, now I'm curious to see mew try to carry all seven XD
What about newt with the three lil babs?
I love the thought of them hanging off of jer

Huey, Dewey and Louie return. they gotta take turns who gets to cling to where on mommy
I was thinking recently, the people who get all cranky over how Huey was conceived/born: how would they feel if he'd been born like a regular Pokémon? Imagine: Newt wakes up one day to find a random egg next to her. She's told she has to walk for a few days for it to hatch, so she does and a few days later the egg pops open and reveals a fully formed shiny Mewtwo. When you think about it like that, the flower seems normal in comparison.
