Transcription: A screenshot from tumblr. There is a two panel comic of a yellow snake. The first panel is the snake saying “I may not know much”. The second panel is a closer shot of the snake with no text. Below the comic is the following:

the second panel was originally going to have words but I decided it was better without them
Sorry for being a stick in the mud but isn’t the sentence incomplete?
“I may not know much.”
That is a complete sentence.
I think that’s the joke
You are correct. The absence of the period was messing my mind.
I think that’s part of the humour. Because you’re expecting them to say “I may not know much, but…” but then you realize it works as a sentence.
