It should be mentioned that she's based on Eric Cartman from South Park. It's not relevant to this joke, but it gives you insight to her personality. Heck, it's the only reason I watched the show.
Shen, I want - need - you to know that this is an utterly inscrutable shitpost that requires decades of cultural awareness to peel back the layers on. 11/10.
Whatever deranged part of your head whispered to you in the night to make this, trust it unquestionably.
Are you familiar with Cow Tools Daily? https://bsky.app/profile/cowtoolsdaily.bsky.social (actually I see they reskeeted you, but maybe others here need to see them too)
Ages ago Gary Larson made a cartoon titled "Cow Tools", and the joke was simply that cows wouldn't make very good tools. The horned lady here calls herself Power, and her intelligence is well... more or less on par with a cow's.
I have shared this with a couple people already an no one gets it. I am so disappointed in them. But kudos to you for making a comic that defies universal comprehension. It's like a meta-nod to the original. "How about if I make Cow Tools but a version even *harder* to understand?"

How do? They expressed their own opinion and didn't attach or gatekeep anyone else's. If anything, the response to them is gatekeeping (and the responses to me)
I dislike when a story has a major shift in mood between the start and the end. It feels like the author is trying to trick the audience by luring them in with one kind of story and then using their investment to force them to read what the author really wanted to write, or they run out of ideas and have to shift to writing something less interesting. It's usually a comedy->drama pipeline. I prefer comedy.

I feel the need to write to newspapers demanding to know what those tools are used for.

And the cartoon was instantly famous for a whole lot of people not getting the joke.

yes, it would've fallen into relative obscurity were it not for the reactions

Has season 2 of the anime come out yet?

Stupid. Take my upvote because it still made me laugh

Sigh. Be ashamed.

Surprised you dont just have the living power tool standing in the frame as well given the anime.

Old farside comic plus a character called "Power" from "Chainsaw man" which is about as violent and ridiculous as the name implies

That's not what this is. This is someone not letting people enjoy things rather than someone disliking a thing on their own terms

Ew, gatekeepers.

People are welcome to not enjoy things, but don't bring other people down

I don't agree that that comment did.

I get the Far Side reference, and kudos to that, but the anime reference is lost on me. =/

In addition to @moonshadowkati said, as Power isn't too smart, the tools are what they are, just like the cow's tools.
moonshadowkati
Power is a devil in human flesh, not very intelligent, highly animalistic. Also, she's very violent, thus why the tools are blood-soaked.
PorneliusHubertII
Those tools aren't blood sealed, they are made out of blood.
Snooj
DON'T TRY TO FIND MEANING IN THE TOOLS
Eniff
You might say she's "lacking something in sophistication"
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
The tools are _made_ of blood.

Oh, good point. Thanks, good addition.

I've only watched 2-3 eps but already got the heads-up that the Fun-with-Idiots mood doesn't last forever.

That's a shame. I empathize with Denji, you never forget the time when a woman throws up in your mouth.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
The character is from Chainsaw Man, named Power. She makes weapons out of blood.

she also has a brain of potato

You may be underestimating potatoes.

Also she is a demon and she doesn't flush
sircowdog
She could probably make more than weapons., But Power is kind of dumb.....
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
all this talk of her being an idiot motivates me to keep watching XD
beoluves
She and Denji are the best non romantic partners in crime. Excess goblin energy.
GeneralWho
Ah, that makes sense. I have only ever seen her in...fan-made animations.
CityYeti
Honestly, if you have sex with her, you'd probably get a UTI if you're not wearing protection. She doesn't bathe or any other practice basic hygene.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
heh, I wonder which of the two has inspired more fapmat, Makima or Power
Crowlands
Surely it's Makima?
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
because scarier or because bigger tits?
