yeah i found this comic so opaque that i had to go look up the artist

it turns out that this is an explicitly christian comic where each strip is accompanied by a bible verse. the theme of this one is "love must hate evil" and it's accompanied by Ezekiel 33:11, Proverbs 6:16-19 and Luke 13:3

it sort of explains why you get that weird feeling when you read it, because the point of the comic is not to be funny but to communicate some kind of moralistic lesson, and the straight-line clarity with which the comics do that is in direct conflict of the normal subversion of expectations that typically makes things funny

that said, basically all of the comics that deal with death are to me unintentionally hilarious because i do not share the worldview that dying and going to heaven is like, a net positive

all in all this was a kind of fun little excursion into something i would absolutely never have looked at otherwise. i'm gonna go ahead and just not try to look into what the artist thinks about gay people so that this can be a positive memory for me lol
