Yeah, no. It was (/is? damn, dude’s still going. Good for him.) a comedy/commentary comic mostly about gaming and basically interactions that wouldn’t be out of place in a Clarks movie. This was a standalone just a week or so before Loss.
Que super serious miscarriage storyline for “art” reasons.
The guy who made it was a talentless egomaniac. He wanted to prove that he was a serious adult who could make serious adult stories, and instead of slowly transitioning into a more serious plot like say El Goonish Shiv or Concession or (not a webcomic, but No Evil)
He just jumped into a miscarriage story and then when people didn’t like it… well the other “Super Adult Story” thing to do is kill off characters, so he killed everyone off and just focused on background characters…
but again instead of slowly building up the background characters and bring them closer to the forefront… they were just… thrust into the front with no fanfare, no defined personality…
I believe his girlfriend had a miscarriage and that inspired that comic. But it came out of nowhere and didn’t fit the comic. If I remember correctly the next strip the guys talked about how tough it is (gf not present) and then if was back to gaming

So the already low-tier webcomic sank even lower.

I mean, the dude also showed his junk to an underage girl. Smart decisions aren’t his thing.
