The post said “bad people will understand.” Guess I’m a good person because I am clueless

Reading responses I am more and more convinced this is just a horrible comic. The creator might be a capable cartoon drawer, but a horrible joke writer. There is no answer that makes total sense or is going to to anyone but the creator. It might just be as dumb and simple as "Hey, how did she put on pants? She ain't got no legs!"
I would agree- there’s not much of a joke here.
The art and set up reminds me a bit of Sergio Aragones, who would do the “Mad Look at” section in Mad Magazine which were wordless 4-5 panel comics, as well as the “doodles in the margins” which sometimes were barely jokes.
I could see this being in that vein, if we stop looking for some big brilliant joke and see it as a cute gag “she can’t put on pants! Wait, somehow it worked”.
That’s fine. Not every 3 panel comic has to be uproariously funny. Implying it is anything more would probably be bait.
I agree it looks similar to Aragones and the “no legs lol” interpretation is probably right. The problem is that there is too much extra stuff here that makes it seem like there is more to it. The caption OP mentioned about bad people understanding, the weird nipple censoring, the emoji at the bottom, the merman’s procession of exaggerated faces. These are all pretty much irrelevant to getting it, and so shouldn’t be included in a well-formed joke.
Yeah someone took it and slapped the emoji on, and I wonder if the original had the censor bars. I tried a reverse image search and didn’t find the source, just reshares.
