superhappy

hahahahaahhaha oh my God that is amazing

first time I've laughed at Video Game Web Comic in a long time, kudos

I almost took it seriously until YOUR part came in. That's how long I've not been reading CAD to realize it (I.. I almost miss those walls of text.) Question is, should I bother catching up? Is it really as bad as this? D:>

a quick analysis says yes, it's that bad

This storyarc is the funniest thing Buckley has ever done.

Manly tears... ;___;

I did check up to see what the hell is going on here, besides all the hilarious crying. Seriously though, it would suck major balls if my body was all like, "KILL THE BABY CUZ WE THINKS IT'S A THREAT".

Uh... it's not like Buckley is making that sort of instance up. That's what happens in some miscarriages.

My reaction was more

"............ I don't get it."

That's pretty great, but it's the crosshatching you added in on the very bottom of the last panel that sells it.

I wasn't familiar with this comic, nor this storyline, and I don't take the idea of a miscarriage lightly, at all, so I was totally confused by this:



Over at Eegra

At first I was like, wow, miscarriages aren't funny, but now after seeing your comic, and realizing people were referencing something else I am less disgusted. What is it about this particular storyline that is bothering everyone so much, like, I think ctrl alt del is a shitty comic, but what is it about this storyline in particular that grates you all so?

I had a friend who miscarried a lot. Apparently it's incredibly painful. So part of me is feeling bad for the characters, especially the woman, because I am a woman. As far as I know, I shouldn't have any problems having children in the future. But God forbid if have any problems, or so help me, some poor man will be getting a shot to the nads, (I'll try to avoid hitting my husband, so I'll just hit my brother-in-law instead).

Hahaha god damn.

I don't know how this comic got so popular

By dumbing down things Penny Arcade had been doing before and better. Instant success.

Who's the fourth crying person?

Firefighter

I haven't been following webcomics in general for the past couple months but it's great to know that Tim Buckley is still worthless.

The really sad thing about this comic is that Buckley is trying to rationalize crying over a family tragedy, when he needs no excuses to show human emotion in such a situation. All the metaphors shedding tears are manly and highly regarded by society... a bald eagle, a lion, Jesus Christ, and a fireman. It demonstrates a lot of egotism and insecurity on the part of the artist.

Geez, Buckley, nobody's going to think any worse of you for crying over your wife's miscarriage. In fact, I don't think anyone could think less of you than they already do.

Wait, did Lesnick add those extra frames? Oops, my bad! I don't read CAD (I think it's pretty obvious why) and my Internet sarcasm detector has more or less burned out after twelve years of being online.

You forgot Iron Eyes Cody.

I never got into ctrl alt del. I feels so, so, so...














clean

One of my boyfriends' friends thinks CTRL+ALT+DELETE is the best damn thing on the internet and funny as hell.

You can rest assured, I've already cut off his balls.

Some things just aren't worth dying for.

This/these need to be posterized and sold at Comic-Con.

The Universe has spoken: Buckley spawn is womb poison.

I didn't even know what the fuck was going on in the original comic because I was so flabbergasted by the lack of walls and walls of text.

The thing is, Buckley's so bad at drawing facial expressions other than B^U that you need the Wall of Text to know what's going on.

The only thing that really justifies the existence of CAD is all the fun that people have shitting all over it.

I agree with this.

You know what? I have to give Buckley credit for trying. In the last three years he's drawn approximately five different things and made eight jokes, so at least he's trying to actually take his comic and his characters somewhere, even if it is INSANELY RETARDED.

Am I the only one who does not find this amusing?

What, the original comic, or the Lesnickization?

Because I found the original comic tastes like aluminum: Metallic, lifeless, insipid. Sure, miscarriage, whatever. My sis had one a couple of years ago. You may not think it's such a big deal, but... I can tell you she lost something inside her mind there and then.
This tries to be dramatic and fails. It doesn't feel like it should, I can tell you as much. It feels... ridiculous. And that's why Josh's addendum is 10 levels of awesome there.

I can't claim credit for this, but I wish I could.

Also, failing at html :(
