    Absolutely. I agree. I’m not against expressing pain and personal struggle in art. Some of my favorite art pieces are exacly that and it feels extremely personal. It’s exacly as you say: the problem of loss is not that it expresses pain, suffering, etc, but that it feels weird in the sudden tone shift, style and with the funny gaming webcomic context. Not that a tone shift can never work, but i wouldn’t say it did in this case.

    I’m guessing part of fhe meme being successfull is because a lot of people felt that way. It’s definitely art, but art comes with the ivitation of being up for interpretation and criticism.

    In a way, the meme turned that four panel comic into a whole seperate artpiece, one that is born from and does express the awkwardness in a way.


  • 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.

    What I still don’t understand is where time comes into play. Is it defined somewhere? Wouldn’t everything still happen instantly even if there are infinite steps inbetween?

    I guess it could be implied by it being a trolley on a track, but then the whole mixing of reality and infinity would also kind of fall apart.

    Is every person tied to the track by default? If so, wouldn’t it be more humane to just kill them?
