He rapidly oscillates between incoherently good luck and incoherently bad luck. All in a comic riffing on the idea of "manifesting your ideal life with positive thinking"-type nonsense. It's very silly and good.

GREAT is making me feel sad.

Ditocoaf

The tone of it endlessly fascinates me. Remember that that this is a few pages after he drunkenly killed dozens of people with a barstool, getting away with it because he left no living witnesses, and then the next plot beat was that he got in the paper by complaining that a diner served him the wrong food.

I guess I tend to see all his misfortune as not exactly literal, but more... emblematic somehow. This is what it feels like to be this guy, and while he's definitely incredibly unlucky it also feels like somehow the entire narrative is an exaggerated version of itself.

It strikes this weird place somewhere between irony and hyperbole, while still letting the misery feel true. It might also help that this is a reread for me, though.

I think I'd feel a little less sad if the guy's luck was less net negative. And also if he wasn't such a loving idiot. And also an actual murderer?
