My impressions from this comic are that I would hate the creator if I ever met them.

I think the joke is a typical take on ADHDers having "eyes bigger than their stomachs" for large tasks. Swimming in a lake is very fun, and can help one feel connected to nature. Swimming across a lake is a huge task, possibly requiring training, could take a long time, and is dangerous.

Why they decided to sit on the beach instead of swimming at all, I have no idea. Maybe it's a "lakes are deep and scary because lake monsters" thing?

Gathering from previous examples of this comic I'd be surprised if the creator was taking a stab at neurodivergence.

I don't find it as "taking a stab" more "illustrating a relatable experience in a humorous way".

Okay, that's possible but still wouldn't warrant hatred, which was what the person I replied to was saying

Ah, I see your point
