good-or-bad
Explanation
In this comic, a woman approaches a giant sentient flower representing Mother Nature and asks the perennial question: "Are we humans good or bad?" Mother Nature immediately and emphatically responds, "Bad! Bad bad bad!"
However, her reasoning takes a surprising turn. She points out that humans have created nuclear weapons capable of wiping out all human life in half an hour. The woman begins to concede -- "It's true, we--" but Mother Nature cuts her off: "And you still haven't used them!" The twist is that Mother Nature considers humans bad not because they made weapons of mass destruction, but because they have shown restraint in not using them.
Mother Nature then goes further, saying that while she understands the whole "organic" thing, "sometimes you have an infestation and it's time to spray spray spray!" -- implying that from nature's perspective, humans are a pest infestation and the nuclear button is right there waiting to be pressed. The woman, taken aback, says she was hoping for something uplifting, "possibly involving compost." Mother Nature obliges with dark literalism: "Mix yourself with some straw and cardboard and you'll be soil three weeks after the nukes start flying."
The comic inverts the expected environmentalist message. Instead of Mother Nature scolding humanity for harming the planet, she scolds them for not self-destructing efficiently enough. The joke plays on the misanthropic undertone sometimes present in deep ecology, where humans are framed as a planetary disease -- but takes it to its logical and absurd extreme by having nature actively root for nuclear annihilation. The final punchline about composting is a dark twist on the wholesome environmentalist concept, turning the comforting idea of "returning to the earth" into a post-apocalyptic body disposal tip.
