I think we have different understandings of what constitutes a happy ending
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.
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.
First name Chubby, last name Mary.
Her parents kinda predestined her with that name.
Have you ever met a girl named Chastity?
Predetermination doesn’t work.
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)/¯
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
It is overused. That’s what makes it cheap.
Somebody has never taken mythology.
Spoiler Alert: Every story ever told has been told 1000 times before. Its the natural consequence of being part of a species that has had language for 12000 years and is obsessed with storytelling. What matters is the execution, not how unique the idea is.
almost as overused as the complaining about it
Trying to imagine someone dying happy is a shared idea a lot want. Is it used a lot and sometimes with little effort, oh hell yeah. It’s a simple ingredient for storytelling that is gonna be used a lot. It’s like complaining there is flour in all your baked goods. It’s common, not cheap.
The question is was it a good dish anyways?I think this one was a light snack. Nice. Not filling but nice.
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.
Well now I want to cry 😢
fuck
But how did you survive the explosion of Namek?
…Muffin button.
Dem boobies floppin about in zero grav doe
It’s a Jacob’s ladder type situation
Reminds me of that bit in Gravity that some people got really angry about for no apparent reason.

This is pretty much the plot of Lost.
If you’re implying they were dead the whole time, they were not.
That would have been so much better. Not good. But so much better.
Spoiler for the movie Gravity:
In Gravity, George Clooney’s character wasn’t her husband and it was he who drifted away. But other than that, it’s a pretty common interpretation that this is the same thing that happened to Sandra Bullock’s character. That she died and the ending on Earth was her already being dead. This comic is basically a summary of the movie.
That’s the only way any of the physics in that movie make sense.
LOL they were so proud of the physics, even had Tyson do his whole “Im the smartest person in any room” shtick at the time on the movie.
I really like the science in The Martian, even if it was a bit generous with the best possible outcome each time and forgot about the dangers of martian soil toxicity.
Sunshine was also pretty good!
Wait, what? Bullock’s character is actually dead in Gravity? I’ve been watching that movie way too literally. Kinda messes with her character’s arc though, if she karks it halfway through.
Well, the last season of a 6 season show.
