    Oh, my bad. Not as OC. I was trying to disguise it like a normal comic, hence the transcript and “source” link.

    Ernie Bushmiller would be SO confused by this if he went to the future and saw it.

    Can I get a brief rundown of the meme? This has all gone over my head and a quick google search isn't really giving me a good explanation.

    The meme is called Loss. There was a webcomic of... Questionable quality that was generally supposed to be humorous. At a certain point the author's wife had a miscarriage and he made a webcomic that portrays him entering the hospital, speaking to a receptionist, speaking to a doctor then walking in to find his wife in the bed in the last panel. It has been memed since then, and abstracted to various shapes ( | || || |_ ) following the general visual lines present in the original comic

    Meme must be loaded with preservatives because it never expires

    Very nice source. Thanks for citing it and giving the author credit

    If you're not aware, this is a combination of a Nancy comic and a ctrl alt del comic, combined into a new joke by an unknown author. It's a meme at this point, not a comic, so it's unreasonable to expect attribution to be there for both known authors (but reasonable to ask in a non-sarcastic manner)

    I don't get it. What's going on in the last panel?

    So are we to believe the banker gave her the loan, bought her ice cream, and is now charging her interest on the $2?

    it was shit to begin with

    I mean, yeah, that was the point. It was an attempt at deriving value from the least funny CAD comic to date.

    Speaking of deriving value from things that aren't funny, your comment makes posting Loss memes so much more entertaining.
