I apologize, I should've kept my filthy notions to myself. Sometimes I lash out at my surroundings. I believe this stems from a lack of father figures in my childhood. I'm very sorry if I hurt any of you.

Imagine Rocky and Bullwinkle doing a segment where Borris rushes into a hospital to discover Natasha had a miscarriage. The extreme tonal dissonance between the regular light-hearted story telling and the extreme seriousness of that specific situation create an absurd contrast that produces humor.

Congratulations, this has been morning comedy 101

It's a referential injoke that's been running for 10 years so there's nothing intrinsically funny about it.

SA has a loooong history of making fun of CTRL ALT DEL and we used to have a whole bunch of incredibly long megathreads where people obsessively hateread the strip and did a whole bunch of photoshops and bought forums emoticons and developed a whole bunch of jargon. The original "Loss" strip was just such a bizarrely incongruous and wrongheaded attempt to do a serious take on a serious subject in the middle of this pants-on-head-stupid monkey buttcheese random wackiness that it broke people's brains and launched a million parodies.

Real answer: Because they aren't/weren't. The only purpose it serves is as a lowest-common-denominator litmus test for how hard you should roll your eyes when a new omg haha I didn't see it but then I DID version pops up.

You said "lowest common denominator," invalidating your opinion and revealing yourself as an idiot. So sorry contestant, come back and try again next week.

There is nothing wrong about having constant reminders of how utterly the original Loss failed in whatever the gently caress it set out to do.

The first time I saw it I thought "no loving way, he's never gonna live that down" and so far I'm absolutely right.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

It wasn't even the comic itself that anyone cared about. It was the whole "miscarriage is often harder on the woman than the man, but" and the idea that bitches should just put up or shut up that the author spewed out with it.

That is the kind of poo poo you never live down and rightfully follows you for the rest of your life.

Loss is amazing because every parody, even the most brainless one, shows more care, thought and imagination than the original. It's an unending reminder of one mans failure to move on and heal.

Never forget his explanation why he can relate. This made it so incredible to me:

quote:

I know from personal experience what it can do to a relationship. Some many years ago, long before I started the comic, I was in a relationship and we suffered a miscarriage. Now, this relationship was toxic to begin with and doomed to fail regardless, so that the miscarriage was the straw that broke the camel’s back came as no surprise. It was a pregnancy neither of us wanted in the first place, so the event didn’t effect me nearly as much as it would, say, a couple who was trying for a child. Still, I saw the emotions it can bring up first hand, and I saw how it could truly hurt someone. It’s a tough thing to handle because it’s nobody’s fault. There’s nobody you can blame.
