The original is still loss.
You're right, the clown and his nose is the final panel.

my personal favorite:
although, the scenery one is pretty good, too
Sorry, I'm a dumb dumb. Can someone explain?
It's loss
?
I was also at a loss for words after that
It was illegal, it violated multiple federal ~~:.|:;~~
It's from an old ~~Penny Arcade,~~ Ctrl+Alt+Del, often mocked for its sudden melodramatic tone in an otherwise silly comic series:
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.
The initial reaction was good, but through later interaction with the artist it became clear that it was a one off thing, unrelated to the canon of the series, and unrelated to anything happening in his life. His overall hostility to questions about it turned people to the idea that he did it to steal undeserved pathos from his audience. Thus, he became a clown.
Wrong webcomic. Ctrl + Alt + Del is the name.
Well shit, my bad. Fixed, thanks!
All good! You were in the ballpark, certainly. I read CAD, but not Penny Arcade, and I was there when Loss was uploaded, so the distinction is clear to me.
The comic was Ctrl+Alt+Delete, not Penny Arcade
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
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 standalone just a week or so before Loss.
Que super serious miscarriage storyline for "art" reasons.
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.
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 mean, the dude also showed his junk to an underage girl. Smart decisions aren't his thing.
Did the bank ever get their two dollars back?
You mean their 3 dollars
4 dollars

I was like "oh, that's a cute comic" and then I just started fucking wheezing
Angry? I fucking lost it
I don't get it. Can someone explain it to me?

I laughed, but I wasn't happy about it.
After going down the whole rabbit hole of what this means, I think it's shit.
