I’m gonna go out on a limb (tentacle?) here and guess that the similarity between the human’s shirt and a modern Polo shirt (with upturned collar) is merely coincidence, right?
The forty-foot high killer rats are jumping up-and-down on you?
Always and forever, Ratmen. Yep.

After strongly agreeing with the message of the space squid, I became mildly intrigued by the poster behind him. In the last frame he is getting lower, to show the first word on the poster is “GOAT”. Intrigued by the possible following word. Given this is the internetz “GOAT SEX” comes to mind.
“Internetz” is the new youphemism [sic] for “gutter( ,get your mind out of).
artist, fill me in?

That Octupus looks awesome.

The author of the comic has another comic called “Goats” – http://goats.com/
Perhaps that’s what it refers to?

And, of course, I can’t spell “octopus” correctly. *Sigh*.
What an adorable tenticley character. And hear hear to the content.

Except that those who whine about political correctness never take the ‘correctness’ in the name literally, so you wouldn’t get that response in panel #3. They are more likely to respond with “don’t call them ‘justice warriors’, they are ‘just us warriors'”, or something similar. In my experience, anyway.
None of us have little tentacled space buddies, either.* We get beaten over the head with the reality of those who whine, every day, in one thread after another, here, and all the other corners of the ‘net. Could be we just wanted to enjoy the ‘toon.
*If anyone does have a little tentacled space buddy, stop holding out!

Sorry Caine, but I didn’t bring enough for everyone. Besides, it looks like you’re making your own badass tentacled buddy.

I “get” the joke, but still… it doesn’t work for me.

Originally, there was the concept of a “keyboard warrior” — someone who practiced slacktivism — and then the concept was applied to “social justice” issues — the “social justice warrior”.
Similarly, with “political correctness”, it did not originally refer to what it now connotes; its current connotation relates to adherence with the same “social justice” (perceived) ideology in one’s proclamations.
The irony is that those who inveigle against “social justice” activism are themselves in the same category of being both keyboard warriors and politically correct in relation to their own ideology.

Obviously, it’s a Martian, the tentacled space-squid thing.

I also identify with the tentacled being. Thanks to this, I think I’ll go back to working on the Octopus today.

Can I just point out that there is a vape pen sitting in the ashtray, and it is giving me a nice chuckle?

Caine @2:
I love the octopus! The suckers on the tentacles are especially amazing. I wish I were as creative as you.

Ooh, nice project, Caine!
Caine says
Nahuati, thanks – a bit more on the suckers over on the art thread.
