So I guess Buckley edited the last panel of the infamous Loss comic on its 10th anniversary, and it's the creepiest shit: https://t.co/Zqxs4xzM54pic.twitter.com/7eOvoEMJJL

– Already notorious at the time for its terrible artwork and early-mid 2000's SWM video game webcomic humor, ten years ago the series Ctrl Alt Del by Tim Buckley released a chapter titled "Loss". Eager to step away from the simplistic humurous nature that preceded the series before it, Buckley started to experiment with more serious storylines, culminating in arc where his self-insert main Ethan running to the hospital in an emergency to find his wife Lilah suffered a miscarriage.
– The strip has lived in infamy ever since. It's been parodied endlessly for its emotional manipulation, forced dark nature, Lilah suffering for Ethan's manpain, and frankly, terrible everything else. The page has since been removed, but it's still viewable via the Internet Archive (maybe hackers time travelled ten years ago and got into Buckley's website to make it slightly worse than it appeared tho, u never know).
– Today, on the web comic's website, Buckley replaced the famous page with a new variation called "Found", in which Ethan can be seen smiling in the background while his wife suffers. Some people never change.
Original comic:
You have to understand that my job, for the past five years or so, has been to basically live online. And this is, in that time, one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. https://t.co/5nNolrmlEO

I posted this yesterday, not even realising that today is the tenth anniversary of "Loss," quite possibly one of the most parodied pages of a comic ever. https://t.co/KC6PewDkDW
