This. Couldn't jack it to loli for a whole week after reading it.

>>89781868
I think Clarissa tries too hard. Instead of clearing exploring the intricacies of a life as a victim, it just go "HEY GUYS I'M BEING RAPED" at every 4 panels.

You can only do this a few times without losing the meaning of it all without making it banal and almost an offence to anyone with a similar problem.

The one rebecca sugar did about the guy who was in a coma or some shit and could only communicate with simpsons quotes

>>89782049
that´s a good one

Smbc is hot garbage

>>89782041
It makes even worse IMO, it is not a tragedy with begining middle and end, it is her everyday life, with sexual abuse as part of her routine.

That's funny, not depressing

>>89781868
Well, that would explain it all

I liked warbot in accounting

we need to give human rights to pictures, I mean there's people who draw lolicon and all that shit, if drawings had human right that wouldn't happen.

>>89785424
I generally don't like that analogy. Cats and mice are different species and cats hunt mice, it's just the way of nature. Mice gassing rats, that would have been a better analogy.

>>89785287
I like it, it gives me feels.

>>89783774
Not depressing but enraging. Fucking dumbfuck brits. HURR DURR REMEMBER THE FUN WE HAD IN THE WAR JUST TRUST THE POWERS BEING LONG LIVE THE QUEEN HAIL TO THE EMPIRE

And yeah, Clarissa is truly depressing and the everday, routine character of the abuse makes it even worse.

I think he was trying to go for the way the germans viewed it, as a superior species wiping out a lesser one without any guilt, just like cats hunt mice without guilt.

I agree that it would have worked better if they were all mice, though, because it comes off as dehumanizing everyone.

>>89783878
Horrifically wrong.

>>89785599
Interesting, but I am not convinced. As before, cats hunting mice is just the way it is. If there are only mice to hunt, cats must hunt them lest they starve. Of course on an "individual" scale it's tragic for one mouse, but on the other hand it's great for the cat making the hit as it will survive.

>>89785736
perhaps a more apt metaphor would have been humans burning ants with magnifying glasses, but that's not as interesting to draw and ants aren't fuzzy and sympathetic.

>>89785287
Sad, but more cringey than sad. Also hard to care about the brain damage when there is really no change in the way we see him talk or act.

The comic is too weird to be depressing. The part with the American patriot dog protecting his flag was the saddest part though.

>>89785978
>>89786408
Using a dog for a sad comic is fucking cheating because depressing situations are 10x more heartbreaking when they involve dogs.

I thought this would have a super-downer ending because of how people kept bringing it up as the saddest thing ever. The ending fucking surprised me due to it.

Why would anyone even want to read a comic that is depressing over something fun?

Eh, I thought some things were handled pretty well

You see she's developing obvious problems, losing herself to fantasy to escape real life (Bring Your Kids To Work Day comic). You see she's tried to hint to people what is going on, too afraid to directly tell someone (School comic). You see she's started taking it out on herself, victim-shaming herself (Bath comic).

If not for shit like this no one would give a crap

>>89782849
Not worth it, all you'll get are dumb contrivances like you currently get with some manga translators, like the MC pausing to reflect that he can't believe the flat chested, hairless 4' female he's currently plowing like a tractor is actually an 18 year old with a growth disorder.

>>89798744
ok, but like, wat

>>89799006

Not sure. I guess it's about how we're all connected in some way and how people only tangentially connected cross paths, each with their own story to tell.

I don't think it's depressing, though. I think it's rather inspirational. The bully, in the beginning, grows up happy. Some people who started off happy grow up to be shitty adults, kids who learn to hate grow up to get over prejudices, etc. Just kind of interesting.

>>89785424
The most depressing part was that it seemed like no one especially the dad learned a single thing people didn't l change for the better no one was enlightened into respecting everyone equally in the end it showed exactly what happened millions of people were treated horribly and killed by assholes but when it ended that's it life goes on

>>89798744

I really miss Warbot.

I remember meeting with Brian Clevinger in the artist's alley last year, and I asked him about Warbot. He told me how he planned to end the series, and that it was just impossible to meet up with the artist at all so it never saw completion.

He also told me that he never told anyone the ending before, but I think he was probably bullshitting me. If it's though true I can retell it of you guys want.

And mice/rats irl are scum bag that will eagerly tear apart a kitten if they get their claws on one, not to eat it but simply to get one less predator to compete with ( since rats are omnivorous, thus are both prey and predator)

Pretty much the same problem with every analogy using animals : We tend to accentuate the humans aspect within the given animals as to exemplify a quality/flaw of ourselves but alas tend to disregard the aspect of the animal that goes directly against our nature or tend to bring shame in ourselves. We easily see the falcon as brave as it rush valiantly from the highest height down to the earth on a moment notice and without hesitation, yet we barely consider the reason behind the act itself, was it done valiantly or was it because the prey was the easiest target in sight?

Even if you explained it like he's going to sleep forever (which is still mentally infeasible to a kid that young), a kid still wouldn't completely understand why you put someone in a box and burying it in the ground.

Eden: It's an Endless World is by far the most depressing manga I've read.

Every time you start to like someone they get offed or raped or something. It's always the innocent ones too.

>>89785287
>Several anons don't get that the ending is about what Jim subconsciously confronted himself with.

I know you guys tend to not be terribly perceptive, but come on.

>>89809058

So basically there only a limited number of time the world can be saved and after its the end no matter what? Wouldn't that make the entire story pointless from the start? Except if they only keep writing up more character to replace the fallen one, but then it would defeat the entire purpose of the mech being one-use-per-life.

Sound like the kind of story that sound good if you don't think too much about it

>>89809764
Does it make more sense if you can actually quote The Simpsons in every conversation?

>>89809886
No, it's just a tool for the story.

What brought Jim momentary comfort was illusory. He's talking to what's functionally a parrot, mimicking happy memories when prompted. Whether he meant to or not, he picked a quote that confirmed the person he loves is an empty shell and then asks him to let him go.

The point is that Jim fooled himself. He made himself believe his brother was just disabled and the quotes brought some happiness, but his brother is functionally dead. It's not deep or anything, but it's disheartening that some anons don't seem to get the actual idea behind it.

>>89786790
I really think "A cold" means something different in Japanese because nobody dies or passes out or starts coughing up blood from a fucking cold

>>89810146
The idea would have hit harder if Alan actually talked in anything beyond Simpsons quotes before the accident. I guess it helps the delusion that Jim is having, but even a single word that wasn't from the Simpsons coming out of Alan's mouth would let the audience know that something's actually different after the accident.

>>89810323
The idea is supposed to come from how vacant his stare is, but I agree. Even a non-quote chuckle.

Why did you think they're always wearing those masks on the subway? Catch one cold in Asia and next thing you know it you're coughing out a lung.

Hey fellas, good thing thia thread is still alive!

So you remember how Warbot started volunteering at the old folk's home? Well he ends up becoming really close with this one old lady. He takes her for walks in the park, feeds ducks, and plays games with her. All the while the old lady is smiling and laughing saying "you're my favorite refrigerator". Warbot is happy and fulfilled nontheless.

So they're having a good time for a while, until the old lady falls deathly ill. Warbot is constantly visiting her, meanwhile her family is nowhere to be seen. He brings her flowers, watches tv with her, basically trying to make the most of her last moments. The old lady relents that her family never visited her, but is thankful for Warbot and even said that he's the best friend she ever had. That she has never been happier in her life.

One day Warbot is visiting and the coroner walks out of her room. It turns out she had passed on already. Warbot attends the viewing and the funeral. Eventually an estate lawyer gets the family together to discuss the inheritance. It turns out the old lady was relatively wealthy. Warbot shows up as well.

So the lawyer reads off the will and it says:
"In my final moments, I met someone who changed my life forever. I owe him all of my happiness. Thus I leave everything I own to my refrigerator"

Everyone laughs and the family says "Oh, that crazy old grandma!"
Warbot looks on from the back in silence.
