Yeah I've never seen the last panel before
When I die I donate my body first to the necrophiliacs of the world and last the cannibals. Go nuts you guys.
No no. Get the order right.
- Necrophiliacs
- Organ donation
- Cannibals
- Wiccans, pagans, or anyone else who can use bones for religious ceremonies.
- Science, so the final stage is being shot from a canon. Or helping a med student. I'm fine with either
At least he tried to save her.
Save her body for later use.

insert cursed mr incredible here
There was/is a twit h account called SeeYouTomorrow. No idea who was behind the account (only in other streamers chat. Didnt stream). Will never forget those simple 3 words.
?
Reminding someone on the edge of doing something stupid, that I will see them tomorrow, implying that someone wants to see them tomorrow, thst somwone cares for them and thwy dont need to throw thier life away.
Oh ok
That's a very smart thing
SawYouYesterday, fittingly, has the opposite vibes. I'm in your walls
What even is the joke here? She decided to kill herself at home to reduce the likelihood of someone raping her corpse?
Or is it funny because the guy on the bridge saw her attempt at suicide as a sexual opportunity?
It's almost like an anti-joke, where the humor comes from how offensive it is. It's sad to think there are people who live this sort of experience, being seen as a sex object more than a human being, even in the darkest hours of their life. That's gotta fuck someone up.
It's called black humor. It's funny because it's dark, shared suffering. Hospice nurses and grade school teachers, for instance, tend to have great black humor.
Either you're looking for something to be offended about or you're lucky and haven't suffered much in your life.
I love black humor, but this is weak. A good black joke uses dark subjects to amplify effective humor, it's not just funny because it's crude. This is more akin to shock humor. The place it really falls short is the punchline imo.
Frankly I think the amount I've suffered probably detracts from it if anything; I've been there for two different friends after they lost a sister to suicide, both had been aggressively sexualized during their depression.
Or the third option, it's not that funny.
When it comes to black humour, people tend to have lower standards. I guess for them the shock factor is enough to carry the joke. But once you've seen enough black humour, the shock factor starts to wear thin. The shock factor should complement the joke, not be the subject of it.
Have you considered the fourth, correct option, that humor is as subjective as musical taste?
Nah, this is pretty funny, especially gobbling the sleeping pills.
Now, dead baby jokes rely mostly on the shock factor. I'm still immature enough to think they're funny as well.
Sexy Losers explores far worse subjects. This, in particular, is an origin story. It gets so, so much worse.
I haven't seen Sexy Losers in a long time.
We’ll be doing oglaf.com soon at this rate.
They've been showing up recently.
Google fucking hates it, they refuse to show the comic website when you search, it's been like that for years.
That’s on purpose, the site asks not to be indexed. Oglaf is like cool sites in the 90’s, you had yo hear about them.
Right? Also I remember it somehow different and I also must partially confuse it with another lewd comic from the time.
Anyone remember a comic very similar to sexy losers? I remember one story arc with a scantily clad girl that always masturbated and tried to convince people of stupid sex ideas, e.g. pitching to bounty kitchen paper execs to make soft super absorbant paper targeting chronic masturbators, I think the tagline was "gay for bounty" and her pitch was "that's how we get those fuckers at kleenex" and the execs went "how do you keep getting past security?"
E: found it! Ghastlys ghastly webcomic EE: The comic in question
He's posting a new one every once in a while.
Quick, back to the time machine! Next stop: megatokyo, or sluggy freelance.

Sleeping pills? What, like he didn't follow her home?
(Also we're counting deciding to kill themselves in a different way as "prevention?" At best it's procrastination.)
He doesn’t, but you see in later comics he’s working at the funeral home and… well… it takes a couple turns.
Edit: For anyone who wants to read this specific arc.
Warning: it’s seriously fucked up.
You know it's serious when you need a VPN to access it in your country
Now when you say it's fucked up are we talking like explicitly graphic content shown in detail or just explicit content that's alluded to but not shown?
Yes
Understood. Have a nice day.
