    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.

    “It was just a dream” and “you are dead” are such cheap tricks for storytelling. Annoying.

      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

      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.

    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

    Rough that she’s named “Chubby Mary”. Even if there was another Mary on the ship, ya coulda gone to surnames.

        Have you ever met a girl named Chastity?

        Predetermination doesn’t work.

      If you’re implying they were dead the whole time, they were not.

      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.

    Reminds me of that bit in Gravity that some people got really angry about for no apparent reason.
