probably that a regular comedy comic, seemingly out of nowhere, posted the comic. the comic is not comedy and using the same graphics makes it feel pretty insincere
From what I remember he made the whole loss comic about his girlfriend at the time. They had suffered a miscarriage and he spoke about how that was “the straw to break the camels back.” He seemed to have made it more about himself than the fact that they both suffered during that. It was kinda incelish before incels were really a thing.
I use to like, but that shit did put a bad taste in my mouth. But hopefully he has grown.
I dunno, I can get that. Losing a child, even pre term, is a lot for a relationship. Many couples don’t survive that. But him speaking about his troubles with it isn’t a problem. He can’t speak for her. THAT would be crossing a line, making it about him. Him speaking about his experiences though? Calm down people.
I don’t think he meant to be hurtful or anything. I just remember it not being the most classy thing if ya get my drift. It felt very “me me me me!”
I still read his comics when I see em. Everyone back then overreacted a lot.
