Comics in two panels

Panel 1: An office worker looks at his wristwatch and says “Well, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere”

Panel 2: the office worker walks out the door while his coworker, still hard at work, watches. A clock on the wall behind the coworker reads 10 o’clock.

    That’s explicitly what the song is about. Ditching work in the middle of the workday because fuck 'em, and proceeding to get shitfaced.

    I can’t really say this comic is funny if it’s just repeating the exact meaning of the song at face value.

      The phrase “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere” is much older than that song. I was aware of that as a fairly popular saying long before the song came out. Apparently, it dates back to at least 1959.

      That doesn’t really affect your point, which is that the comic is just retelling a famous joke almost exactly as the joke was originally stated.
