About

Can You Talk Like A Normal Person? refers to an exploitable webcomic by Bright Side about dating a sarcastic person, showing a woman asking, "Can't you talk like a normal person?" to her significant other and him thinking, "sarcastic reply" and "normal reply" in two separate thought bubbles.
