Loss memes.
I never understood why this is funny. Are miscarriages funny somehow?
It was as severe of a tone shift as a miscarriage in the middle of a Dora the Explorer episode. Also, iirc the artist wasn’t having a personal miscarriage drama in real life, he just suddenly wanted an edgier plot line for his unfunny comic, so people started making fun of him for it.
Now it’s just a pattern recognition joke.
The creator did go through an unplanned pregnancy and miscarriage with an ex-girlfriend in college. The relationship was toxic according to him and this happened years before loss was published.
TIL, thanks!
