Pie Comic by John McNamee: Movie Love vs True Love (the “less swollen” meme)

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/02/14

Most shares of this [Wayback/Archive] Pie Comic by John McNamee is is with the attribution cut off, no alt-text and heavy recompression artefacts.

The first is unforgivable: cartoonists put a lot of effort in their work, so sharing their work should at least include the attribution on the picture itself, and preferably the name in text and link to their original work.

The second is not surprising: the comic is 7 years old and published at (now only) 500 pixels wide, so her it is again but with alt-text:

ComicTop pane titled "Movie Love" with a couple in the rain. She: "It's you." She: "It's always been you." Bottom pane titled "True Love" with a couch, side table with flowers on the left, her on the right, a book next to her on the couch, him bending over in front of the couch looking backwards and pants down so she can see his buttocks. She: "It looks less swollen today." Credit: piecomic.com by John McNamee
