Is this just a lame joke or is there something about hugs or malls I need to understand, maybe something specific to Australia?

Not any more. They’ve been blue for over 30 years.

@pschearer Thanks for bagging out the joke. There’s nothing esoteric or Australian about it. Ginger’s pop just wants a hug, and there’s a guy giving out free hugs in the third panel if you read it.. Not rocket science.

I don’t know Jason, free hugs and malls – that can require some thinking, perhaps at the rocket science level even…

So having a guy holding a sign giving out free hugs in the mall is normal? Maybe in Australia. Nope, it’s just a lame joke. (And I’ve never heard of “bagging out” either.)
