    I love how the comic doesn’t indicate who’s talking, but it is totally obvious which one of them gives directions that make no fucking sense.

      In my head, the notch in the bishop looks like his mouth is wide open

      Yeah the bishop.

      The horse would be all “go up two blocks and the restaurant is down that street on the left.”

      The bishops would be all “cut through 17 backyards in a diagonal line and you’ll be at the restaurant.”

      It’s obvious how it’s intended but actually works both ways. One person’s normal is crazy for the other.

        Yeah I was going to say that’s what I liked most about it but then I read the comments and saw all the signs pointing to the bishop being the one talking.

      It also takes advantage of the bishop’s funny shape. The visor works as a mouth.

        The slice out of the tip is a visor? I always figured it was indicative of the virtual lobotomy religious people put themselves through in order to justify their mental circus hoops.

    Should be “your directions were impossible to follow.”

    you ever try to checkmate with just a bishop and a knight? It’s torture!

      Who even asks for/offers them?

      "First get on I-91. Then take exit 200… ”

      " I’m gonna stop you right there. I know how to use a gps. "
