I think we have different understandings of what constitutes a happy ending

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago

My massage parlor also has a different understanding of what constitutes a happy ending.

Happy for her. It wasn't promised to the reader.

Oh hey, this comic is by Rebecca Sugar, creator of Steven Universe! They have some interesting comics, like Don't Cry For Me I'm Already Dead

Thank you and curse you for introducing me to this.

[–] chili6633@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago

Oof. I read that on my break at work and now I can't stop crying. That was so heartbreaking.

Rough that she's named "Chubby Mary". Even if there was another Mary on the ship, ya coulda gone to surnames.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

First name Chubby, last name Mary.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Her parents kinda predestined her with that name.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you ever met a girl named Chastity?

Predetermination doesn't work.

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's how Chub's parents reasoned but here we are.

"It was just a dream" and "you are dead" are such cheap tricks for storytelling. Annoying.

I took it as hallucinations due to oxygen deprivation ¯\(ツ)

[–] qooqie@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well it wasn’t a dream we see that from the beginning, and we know she is going to die because there’s no way to survive that. So we know she’s going through some last minute coping to die somewhat happy, it’s not a cheap annoying trick in actuality. However, if you take it as cheap that’s fine too

The strip is written by Rebecca Sugar; she thrives in cheap storytelling. To her excuse, this is from 2010.

But I like this art style.

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Well now I want to cry 😢

But how did you survive the explosion of Namek?

...Muffin button.

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

It's a Jacob's ladder type situation

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of that bit in Gravity that some people got really angry about for no apparent reason.
