Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

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.

Yeah that's fucked up alright, this slide was notable

That's one fucked up comic... Thanks for linking it I enjoyed it greatly

You want more enjoyment? Read about what Carl did. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Tanzler

Yikes

Fiction is easier to laugh away

Somehow the local authorities manage to out what-the-fuck Carl:

"Shortly after the corpse's discovery by authorities, physicians and pathologists examined Elena's body and put it on public display at the Dean-Lopez Funeral Home, where as many as 6,800 people viewed it.[9]"

that was uh… interesting

I was thinking this would be the obvious thing to happen without even knowing there were more comics about it. It's good see stuff be reused.

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?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yes

Understood. Have a nice day.
