People will dismiss any mention of Loss anymore, but think of how amazing it is that a comic from like 100 years ago is still finding relevance as it gets remixed and reappropriated into a meta “joke” that started as a gut punch one-off from a welcomic from 20 years ago, and it only gets more and more absurd. This might be art.

It wasn’t a one off that story arc went on for a while

Sorry, I’m a dumb dumb. Can someone explain?
odigo2020@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
It’s from an old Penny Arcade, often mocked for its sudden melodramatic tone in an otherwise silly comic series:
Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 year ago
Imagine going through that in real life, eventually sitting down to make a heartfelt comic about it, and then the entire internet takes the piss.
If anything that just makes it even funnier.
redhorsejacket@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Wrong webcomic. Ctrl + Alt + Del is the name.
AdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
The comic was Ctrl+Alt+Delete, not Penny Arcade

I’m a simple man. I see loss, I downvote and move on.
Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 year ago
move on.
You commented and then edited your comment to whine about downvotes.
That’s not what moving on looks like at all.
mindaika@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I’m a simple man: I see a comment complaining about a comment about downvotes, I upvote and move on
Cadeillac@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Imagine going out of your way to downvote for arbitrary reasons, bragging about it after saying you just move on, and then crying because now you are the one getting downvoted. Holy shit

highly overdone memes
Dude, this is why this post is on lemmyshitpost, not on memes

I always thought the point of the loss meme was a sort of “sad rickroll”. That people thought the comic was so sad, and the joke was to remind people of it and make them sad.
Needless to say, I didn’t get it. I thought “people find this really sad I guess”. It was just last week I found out that people do not in fact think it is sad, and the point is just to mock the cartoon

It achieved infamy for tonal whiplash. The series it’s from is usually irreverent and goofy. so the very heavy subject coming out of nowhere was…not received well.
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 year ago
The tonal whiplash doesn’t end there. I think a lot of it started as g*mers just being immature but then Buckley said his girlfriend needed to “get over it” and tried to groom a minor, so he kinda just burned all bridges on the topic.
turmacar@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, no. It was (/is? damn, dude’s still going. Good for him.) a comedy/commentary comic mostly about gaming and basically interactions that wouldn’t be out of place in a Clarks movie. This was a bit before Loss.
Queue super serious miscarriage storyline for “art” reasons.
HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 year ago
The guy who made it was a talentless egomaniac. He wanted to prove that he was a serious adult who could make serious adult stories, and instead of slowly transitioning into a more serious plot like say El Goonish Shiv or Concession or (not a webcomic, but No Evil)
He just jumped into a miscarriage story and then when people didn’t like it… well the other “Super Adult Story” thing to do is kill off characters, so he killed everyone off and just focused on background characters…
but again instead of slowly building up the background characters and bring them closer to the forefront… they were just… thrust into the front with no fanfare, no defined personality…
So the already low-tier webcomic sank even lower.
storcholus@feddit.org 1 year ago
I believe his girlfriend had a miscarriage and that inspired that comic. But it came out of nowhere and didn’t fit the comic. If I remember correctly the next strip the guys talked about how tough it is (gf not present) and then if was back to gaming

I don’t get it. Can someone explain it to me?
Pacattack57@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s Loss within a Loss meme. Lossception.
Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I guess I need to familiarize myself with the loss meme. I have been seeing it around lately.

The original, for anyone who wants the wholesome:
Nancy comic strip. Nancy goes into a bank advertising loans and asks the banker for a two dollar loan. When the banker asks for the loan is for, Nancy says that the circus is in town. The banker is surprised by this news and in the last panel both Nancy and the banker are eating ice cream at the circus together.
Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The original is still loss.
roguetrick@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You’re right, the clown and his nose is the final panel.
psycho_driver@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Unless the old banker is hoping to diddle the heroine after the show.
