      I wonder how the original artist feels about his wife’s miscarriage becoming a meme

        I do feel bad for him, and especially the ex-girlfriend having the miscarriage in college (it was years back before he drew the comic and not his wife according to wikipedia with his own blog post as source).

        And while a do feel bad about the event, I’m not a fan of him putting this trauma event of his and her life in the public as part of a gaming/gag webcomic.

        It was an ex and one he proclaimed to be toxic at that, so I’d be more concerned for the party that didn’t consent to have their story shared or turned into a meme.

      Ok so I traveled back in time to test this. Inconvinced the cartoonist to change the strip to this and guess what? We beat climate change and world hunger.
