The 'How to take INCREDIBLE photos of your friends' comic by The Oatmeal is a hilarious real-life explanation of how people tend to take random and often meaningless pictures of their friends for no apparent reason.
The comic emphasizes a number of amusing things that people do in modern day situations when it comes to taking pictures with their friends. Such things include taking pictures of mundane situations like eating, figuring out the flash button, getting several blurry shots and having to try again, eventually having to ask a stranger to take a group shot and posting it all to Facebook afterwards.
What makes this comic so relevant and funny is that it is so hilariously accurate. As you read through it you can totally relate to that situation, or even remember a time where this has actually happened to you before.
