Lake scene

Next week on Manfeels Park... (20)

I just saw this via a linked illustration at We Hunted the Mammoth and laughed aloud at the punchline. Great site!

Thank you! 🙂

That’s brilliant. I notice that it’s based on the BBC serialised version with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth, not the actual book (contains no ponds). Austen shows how she expects a decent man to deal with a rejection, however painful, even without benefit of ponds.

Yep! The lake scene is an iconic part of pop culture (for a given value of ‘pop’) that every Austenophile thinks of when they think of Austen, however aware they are that it isn’t in the book, and it’s just chock FULL of manfeels, so very worth satirising! To be honest it’s just using the 1995 BBC P&P for now ’cause that’s what I have extensive screencaps of; I’m sure I’ll end up branching out beyond that if the comic grows legs.

Came from The Toast. Love it. Please never cease.

New comic should be up tomorrow!

[…] Lake Scene | Manfeels Park (June 18): [comic] […]

*snerk* Hahhahaha! Oh, this made my night.

Love the comic. Balm for the soul.

[…] make our brains happy. Relatedly, using this version I was able to create comics like ‘Lake Scene‘, which exploits the infamous ‘Darcy jumps in a pond because of his man-feels’ […]

Are people seriously applauding this comic? It’s not even witty. It’s just a dressed up CAD comic for Christ’s sake.

Excerpt from this site’s ‘About’ page (https://www.manfeels-park.com/about/):

“Manfeels Park is an exercise in flogging a pun for all it’s worth.

The male dialogue in this webcomic is all taken word for word or adapted only slightly from web commentary by hurt and confused men with Very Important Things To Explain, usually to women. Artistic license is exercised in editing commentary for brevity, spelling and grammar, but the spirit of the original comment is always faithfully observed. Witty rejoinders are also ‘found dialogue’ where possible.”

Are the rejoinders witty? Astonishing!

Oh my gosh this is the best thing I’ve read on the subject. I hope this comic never ends <3

I just laughed so hard I fell out of my chair

I’m at work

Dignity~ Always dignity <3
(returning to this page to read the comic/see new comment made me laugh so hard my cat ran away from the room in disgust)

This made me laugh so loud, I scared my son.

[…] Manfeels Park webcomic – So funny and often true On gay rights, feminism and Pride events – This is a valuable piece about the roots of certain causes. More than 1,000 children under 10 stopped and searched in five years – Another reason why stop & search needs to be abolished. Mixed emotions as Jezebel gets new editor – Such disappointing news. Trigger warning: breakfast – Every rape survivor or victim has a different story with different triggers. Everyone behaves differently & experiences their trauma in a diverse manner. Passport official suspended over 'interrogation' of gay applicant – The home office is riddled with homophobia & clearly needs a complete overhaul. On trans-exclusionary radical feminists – I think we can all agree that this isn’t cool right? Suarez got a longer ban for biting than racism – I mean biting isn’t good but surely racism is a slightly more pervasive & serious issue? Sierra Mannie on black female stereotypes and gay men The problem with “feminist knickers” 23 women show us their favorite 'position' Response to the recently viral 'sex spreadsheet' – TW for discussion of rape, rape culture, abuse & sex. Sexual education needs to change drastically. Black Womanhood Defined as Drag Performance – This on the policing of black women’s beauty is one of the best things I’ve read all year. […]

This is the greatest comic on Earth.

I will be sending so many men with feelings here when I just can’t deal with their bullshit.
