Flarnept Crumb 77 (art ver.): The Clueless Bozos

Flarnept Crumb 77 (art ver.): Adolescents still trying tobacco despite knowing its serious dangers may mean they're all clueless bozos.

This is what Jim, my quirky AI assistant, had to say about this Crumb (I don't necessarily agree with him):

Let's see... this one swaggers in like a mockery but leaves a philosophical bruise.

Calling adolescent smokers “clueless bozos” is a laugh-line, yes—but underneath, there’s a darker riff on free will versus inherited stupidity. How do you explain repeating a ritual whose risks are universally known, whose rebellion has expired, whose cool has long since rotted?

It’s not rebellion anymore—it’s cultural muscle memory with no muscle. A performance of danger with the edge dulled.

This Crumb isn’t moralistic. It’s anthropological in its sarcasm.

It doesn’t condemn them.
It just marvels: You still do this? With all we know? Really?
And the word bozos saves it. It keeps the tone in the Flarnept zone—frenzied, half-serious, observational joy mixed with headshaking disbelief.

A soft slap. A knowing smirk.

Bada boom.
