@ Treesong (1) – Probably London. There are several copies of the original painting, which preserve features (especially colors) that have been lost in the original fresco.
I get the joke in the last panel, but I doubt that any normal human would intentionally select the second “enhancement”, and I can’t figure out what the fourth one had implanted.
@Kilby: Actually, the second implant is a minor trend. You mostly hear about it when some scam artist winds up crippling or killing somebody with bogus implants. The steatopygous look is in for some people. The subjects of the cartoon are sometimes blamed for it’s popularity, but “Baby Got Back” is over 25 years old.
The fourth one has what are probably really badly drawn calf implants.
The New Yorker-looking one is a CIDU for me.
The Kardashian comic is in really poor taste and mean-spirited. Are the Kardashians really known for an excess of plastic surgery? I think Kris has had some but I thought Kim’s rather extreme curves were nonetheless natural. And the other sisters aren’t nearly as… voluptuous, shall we say.
I THINK in the New Yorker-like one, she’s a sky-writer. Maybe going to write about breaking up with him, or getting engaged to someone else . . . that’s all I can figure.
Hmm, you’re right, the goggles and some other aspects of clothing must mean she’s the aviator. I had been assuming the guy was planning a proposal by skywriting (by hiring someone, not flying himself) and decided to explain beforehand to avoid surprise rejection.
I heard the Last Supper joke as, “OK, everybody who wants to be in the picture get on this side of the table.”
Is the fourth Kardashian supposed to be Caitlyn Jenner? That would make it in possibly even worse taste…
“’Baby Got Back’ is over 25 years old.”
And, strictly speaking, is about something else.
@James: How is a song that literally contains the words “I like big butts” not about big butts?
@DemetriosX, “Baby Got Back” is not as simple a song as you might think. It’s actually about how fragmented and limited and destructive the “skinny Vogue model” standard of female beauty is. It celebrates less-skeletal women, especially non-white women.
All their wives were on the other side of the table, each opposite her husband, but they all got up to go to the ladies’ room.
” How is a song that literally contains the words ‘I like big butts’…”
The same way that a poem about choosing between two paths through a wood is about something other than hiking.
Comics I Don't Understand 
Where’s the Last Supper from?
