  Loss is the title of this specific comic strip of the webcomic Ctrl+Alt+Del:

  It’s notable because the webcomic was basically just a weekly comedy sketch. It had a few ongoing story arcs involving the main characters, but it was always upbeat and funny. So this particular strip about a miscarriage was a drastic change in tone.

  The fans of the webcomic quickly started memeing about Loss, and posting remakes/demakes of it. It eventually got reduced into the version we know today: the 1, 2, 2, L format. It became a sort of rickroll for the people who recognize it.

    Cyanide and Happiness took a direct quote from the author on how they actually view miscarriage

    Don’t forget to mention his hypocritical views on miscarriage when bringing it up too.

        Wow it was much harder to find this time for some reason.

        Found Cyanide and Happiness’ comic which verbatim quoted the author of Loss to point out his hypocrisy at least:

  It’s a comic episode, made by a once popular comedy comic strip writer, which describes his parents miscarriage. A very private bit of information monetized in poor taste for millions of readers. Also it was unfunny and uninteresting. Completely unnessecary. Comic strip was called Penny something, I think.

    It was called Ctrl+Alt+Delete.

    The other one you’re thinking of was Penny Arcade, a completely different strip.
