The joke here is "dodge bullet", as in "dodged a bullet". You can stop complaining now.

Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!
About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.
Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

ITT: everyone missing the joke and whining about ad placement.
Good call. Big expensive weddings are silly.
Big expensive trucks are also silly.
But they're at least potentially useful.
-
Man vs Woman.
-
Wife Bad.
-
Big Car, Big Dick.
-
Man Leaves/Flees/MGTOW.
-
Women Expensive.
-
Showoff Wedding.

Eternal Bride.
The joke is that big trucks are just as frivolous as overpriced weddings, and both of these people are idiots.
No it's actually just a simple pun lol
It's both
Dodge hasn't even sold trucks in how many years
Huh? Is this like a secondary joke I'm missing?
Dodge trucks are all over the place round these here coal rolling parts. Most aggressive vehicles on the road.
Ram isn't Dodge
Ah. Today I learned.
And that he dodged a bullet
I think bulletdouche has to up his comms with them feels
Interesting take to say this could even be conceived of as an ad, as that's clearly based on like a 2009 Dodge. Interesting they used Bullet though, a company called Sterling used to make a heavy frame truck called the Sterling Bullet which would have been based on that body style of Ram.
They used "bullet" because the entire comic is setting up the joke about having "dodged a bullet".
Yeah, okay. But now there's two bullets flying about.
I'm not sure when it happened, but the author of these comics definitely pulled a Scott Addams at some point.
Probably when he got enough money to start thinking Republicans make some good points about tax rates
Nah, Scott Adams is a hateful bigot. He thinks black people are a "hate group" - he truly went off the rails.
I don't really think this comic reflects its author's personal views at all. C&H has always been filled with shock comedy, black comedy, deliberate insensitivity, and silly puns, and everything is a target. This one doesn't really stand out as any different to how the comic's always been.
I don't really feel like there's ever really been a right-wing slant to these comics either. And I say that as someone who's ardently left-wing.
Classic case of the media not changing but the humor of the viewer did.
