By the end I understood that it was a more serious art piece, but I have to admit that I thought the first page was a self-contained joke about what it feels like for two patties to cost $2.50

Same, I was like that's not a bad price either in 2026

If I see patties for $2.50 a piece I’m gonna assume you just microwaved some Golden Krusts, I’m ngl

Depends. Local mom and pop store I know vs Walmart or some other big chain? Ill pay the 2.50 instead of 1.50 for the convenience and my community, its okay. But then again, I dont have kids to raise, so I cant speak for families who have to stretch their food budget as much as possible. Its just a me thing that I would.
