My massage parlor also has a different understanding of what constitutes a happy ending.
Happy for her. It wasn't promised to the reader.
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
Thank you and curse you for introducing me to this.
Oof. I read that on my break at work and now I can't stop crying. That was so heartbreaking.
Rough that she's named "Chubby Mary". Even if there was another Mary on the ship, ya coulda gone to surnames.
First name Chubby, last name Mary.
Her parents kinda predestined her with that name.
Have you ever met a girl named Chastity?
Predetermination doesn't work.
Yeah, that's how Chub's parents reasoned but here we are.

"It was just a dream" and "you are dead" are such cheap tricks for storytelling. Annoying.
I took it as hallucinations due to oxygen deprivation ¯\(ツ)/¯
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.
Well now I want to cry 😢
fuck
But how did you survive the explosion of Namek?
...Muffin button.
Dem boobies floppin about in zero grav doe
It's a Jacob's ladder type situation
Reminds me of that bit in Gravity that some people got really angry about for no apparent reason.
