    I don’t get it… How is “too late” the punchline?

      I don’t get it either, and what order are you supposed to read it? Does the title come first, or at the end?

          Thanks for the explanation. I didn’t get it until you explained it. Ironically, the people who read titles will have a harder time understanding the comic, because we’ve read it out-of-order.

            I read the title, discarded it from memory because I had no context or meaning for it, read the comic, went back to remind myself what the title is. Now I just feel numb.

      It’s telling the reader they are too late reading the title after being called out for not reading it.

      Also on my lemmy the title of a post is below the image. It would be very strange for someone not to read the image first. This joke is bad.

        It depends on what client you are using. It’s above the post on Voyager.
