This is fucked.
I don’t get it
In two of the panels, you can see that the mom has bruises on her knuckles, potentially implying that she was abusing the kid. He later shoots her and is put to death for it. The fact that he’s thinking about what she told him even as he’s being executed seems to maybe be commentary on how abuse like that can completely fuck up a person, but honestly I don’t even really know what the message is supposed to be.
Overall, this is completely fucked
I think you hit the nail on the head. You hate and love your parent abuser. Because they abuse you but also love you. And you were raised like that, with that dual person. And that love and hate are constantly battling inside you, a silent war, always raging on.
Im a also guessing but i read it as:
She beat him regularly for his whole life. He learned to keep the tears in and never express his pain and anger until one day when she hit him again he snapped and killed her.
His last meal was the same meal she gave him every time he was abused, and moments before death, he was finally free to feel his feelings again and cry about the pain she made him hide away.
Damn that’s dark.
I’m struggling to put together the narrative here
Yikes
