Quick, back to the time machine! Next stop: megatokyo, or sluggy freelance.
Megatokyo. That was a fun one until it turned into a dating sim visual novel because his partner left. Still not as bad as the hard right turn Sinfest made.
Sluggy is still going! It's a bit weird with convoluted lore though.
That's wild! I think it's too late for me, though. It'd be like trying to get into One Piece now. I'll keep it in mind, if I'm feeling nostalgic.

Wow. Til the latest one was posted July the 13th of 2024... Gotta reread them all then!
I've recently re-read all of it, and it made me so nostalgic for internet that wasn't sterile and jokes like this were the norm.
Right? Also I remember it somehow different and I also must partially confuse it with another lewd comic from the time.
Anyone remember a comic very similar to sexy losers? I remember one story arc with a scantily clad girl that always masturbated and tried to convince people of stupid sex ideas, e.g. pitching to bounty kitchen paper execs to make soft super absorbant paper targeting chronic masturbators, I think the tagline was "gay for bounty" and her pitch was "that's how we get those fuckers at kleenex" and the execs went "how do you keep getting past security?"
E: found it! Ghastlys ghastly webcomic EE: The comic in question
Thin H Line..... A name I haven't thought about in a long time

Sleeping pills? What, like he didn't follow her home?
(Also we're counting deciding to kill themselves in a different way as "prevention?" At best it's procrastination.)
He doesn’t, but you see in later comics he’s working at the funeral home and… well… it takes a couple turns.
Edit: For anyone who wants to read this specific arc.
Warning: it’s seriously fucked up.
Yeah that's fucked up alright, this slide was notable
That's one fucked up comic... Thanks for linking it I enjoyed it greatly

that was uh… interesting
I was thinking this would be the obvious thing to happen without even knowing there were more comics about it. It's good see stuff be reused.

Why’s she dressed like a Japanese schoolgirl?
It's for teenage suicide prevention. Which makes the sex thing worse.
If it makes you feel better, he's also in a Japanese school uniform, so he's probably around the same age.
But not unusual in Japan!
In Japan the age of Consent differs depending on the situation, but 12-14 isn't unusual.
In Persona 5 this is even a plotpoint early on, as your first real story arc is about a guy sexually abusing female students and beating male students. He gets away with it because he's a coach and his physical abuse of male students gets results, and what he does with female students is believed to be both completely normal and consensual. "She's 13, she's old enough, and he's a famous former athlete so the attraction is there."
The idea that the massive age difference could be part of the problem is not brought up a single time nor the fact that the girls are just starting high school. The only part of the game's narrative that sees it as wrong is the fact that they were co-erced into it.
Later on, you can date your homeroom teacher as one of your romantic paths if you so wish. Joker, the player character, is 16. This relationship would actually be legal in the UK, and depending on which state you're in the United States as well (Likely not a Romeo and Juliet state as those require the age gap to be small, whereas there are non-R+J states that say "You're 16/17 you can do who you want.", hey don't shoot the messenger okay),
However while legal in the UK and (parts of) US it would still be heavily socially frowned upon, but I guess in Japan they don't care? I don't know I'm not a Japanese Culture nerd nor am I Japanese.

Because the comic is inspired by Japanese 4koma comic structure.
The artstyle is also very reminiscent of old manga/asian comic styles (like 1970s 1980s) so it would make sense the boy and the girl are dressed in that fashion

I guess she's a Japanese schoolgirl.
When I die I donate my body first to the necrophiliacs of the world and last the cannibals. Go nuts you guys.
No no. Get the order right.
- Necrophiliacs
- Organ donation
- Cannibals
- Wiccans, pagans, or anyone else who can use bones for religious ceremonies.
First should be organ donation, it got to be fresh
- Science, so the final stage is being shot from a canon. Or helping a med student. I'm fine with either
I don't know wether to upvote or downvote...
On one side it's a joke that works but on the other it's creepy af
I'll meet in the middle with a +0
This is the least bad comic in the series. This is the guy that literally invented fap.

Save her body for later use.
"To understand revolutionary suicide it is first necessary to have an idea of reactionary suicide, for the two are very different. Reactionary suicide: the reaction of a man who takes his own life in response to social conditions that overwhelm him and condemn him to helplessness.”
“I do not think that life will change for the better without an assault on the Establishment, which goes on exploiting the wretched of the earth. This belief lies at the heart of the concept of revolutionary suicide. Thus it is better to oppose the forces that would drive me to self-murder than to endure them. Although I risk the likelihood of death, there is at least the possibility, if not the probability, of changing intolerable conditions.”
“But before we die, how shall we live? I say with hope and dignity; and if premature death is the result, that death has a meaning reactionary suicide can never have. It is the price of self-respect.”
– Dr. Huey P. Newton
Huey P. Newton (Revolutionary Suicide, 1973)
A Black Panther Founder, killed a police officer in 1967 but overturned after two hung juries.
Accused of murdering Kathleen Smith and Betty Van Patter in 1974, Patter being the Black Panther's bookkeeper found brutally beaten to death, still no conviction. Black Panther leadership admitted to firing her, and she apparently made statements before her death accusing them of tax evasion.
After that seemingly distanced himself from the movement and went into academia.
Died in 1989 murdered by African American Prison Gang "Black Guerrilla Family" which if nothing else is pretty ironic. I'd wager that he regretted ever publishing this excuse for violent extremism by the time he died.
Ya'll can just skip the shit that got him and others killed and go straight into academia if you want to have a positive impact on the world.
