Methinks you guys are getting way too riled up about what is largely a joke panel set in an alternate universe with an entirely different creative team than the normal Squirrel Girl book. But clearly you have some issues to work out towards this squirrel-powered girl so maybe you should whine about it for a couple of pages wait never mind please do the opposite.

Well, I think the second panel of the wide eyes is supposed to be "Oh poo poo, I just said that out loud while one of my BFFs is having contractions".

I'd lay even odds on it coming up during Spider-Woman soon too.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
I see it's a busy town reference, I don't understand what the rest of it means.

She's prodded into tell the story by her best friend who probably wouldn't have her bring up the most traumatic event in her life if it was something she wasn't past and then Carol ends the speech with a joke. This is not PTSD behavior.

I'm not really clear what your argument is here. Like even if you're completely right then it is a massively creepy rape joke where a writer tries to use the time a character was physically and emotionally abused as a punchline of "haha, well, you probably won't get raped by your child like I did!"

If I told you it was Bendis would that answer your questions?

Anyway the joke isn't "haha I got raped" it's "haha old comics were hosed up, huh"

Like when we do the "Recommend Avengers #200" joke is it because we think it's funny that Carol got raped or that it's funny that Marvel published such a hosed up story back in the day.

It's... not really 'old comics are hosed up' when a character is describing a thing that happened to them. Like yeah it happened in a hosed up old comic but it's not an in-joke to something now out of continuity, it's a character describing their rape that (in-story) actually happened to them.

Since Rape is very close to the Least Funny Thing there is, here is an example of old comics being hosed up in funny ways that is hopefully more on-topic.

Pretty sure they instituted gorilla quotas to avoid wearing out the sales boost it provided, so it wasn't anywhere near that much.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
