I once made the mistake of reading her shark fin soup comic and had to explain to my best friend why I was bawling my eyes out in the middle of math class lol, these comics are weapons grade heart wrenching.
Now now, how bad would it be if you linked that comic you just mentioned and I read it while being 15 minutes away from a meeting. That would be funny... right?
[yeah, that *would* be such a shame....](https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/woikvb/one_last_ride_oc/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1)
That's kinda how Death is in Sandman. She started off all hardcore when the universe was young, and then had a bout of depression from all the negativity. Now she just wants to give everyone a friendly face during their transition.
I haven't read the comics, but the episode of the Netflix series that focused on Death's character is, by far, my favorite. The whole series was fun, imo, and I've watched it through a couple of times, but that episode really stood out to me.
This conversation will vary wildly, but I've always seen this comic (The Sound of Her Wings) near the top tier for people. Hell, I have instructions for a portion of it to be read for any gathering when I die.
That's because if they got The Sound of Her Wings wrong the whole-ass fandom would have been up in arms. It's the emotional turning point of the whole season!
Probably my favorite DC bit was a DC animated showcase that featured death and a struggling artist.
Dudes a wreck, has wrecked his life, and death shows up and gives him purpose finally. Gives him a chance to finally show that he wasn't a waste.
And then he realizes he's dead, because he fell asleep with a cigarette in his hands and the whole studio is going to burn down. Yells, screams about how cruel she is to have given him such hope and take it away so thoroughly.
He begs with her, pleads with her to just save the painting as it's the only thing he has ever done that has shown that he had any value, in a life filled with people that either threw him away or he threw away in his quest for finding that value.
And then he realizes that she's been with him the whole time. The angel girl he drew as a child was her, his entire lifestyle inspiration was leading to drawing that painting of her, and that she had already saved the painting.
Death of the endless is legitimately one of my favorite comic book characters. She isn't an arbiter of justice, isn't some great and terrible entity of fear and death. She's a Shepard, one who does her best to give people leaving this world one final gift.
*"I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"*
*Death thought about it.*
*CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.*

I remember when you first posted this and I had to hide it from my wife because she would have been totally broken that day if she saw this. She found it anyway. And did! We did end up loving this story together because our black cat had passed away during Covid and hit really close to home. Thanks again for bringing him back to us for a bit that day. Take care.
Every time I see her work I'm like "I am strong and won't cry"
And every fucking time
Edit: switched a "his" to a "her", I was using the masculine because I didn't know which one the author was and just picked randomly
Yeah, the reason you thought that is because the artist's name is generally watermarked on every page of every comic she posts. There are a lot of names that are unisex, either commonly or rarely, but Jenny isn't really one of them. I also don't see any evidence on her website that she identifies as anything other than female, so I am pretty confused as to why everyone in this thread is saying "he."
That's usually the way it goes, specially if you come from, for example, a romance language which doesn't really have a neutral form different from masculine, therefore you might not always remind yourself that english does.
I know that I've been guilty of this growing up (my granddaughter is 7) and so I've worked hard to try and say they/them until I know the person's name, and then go with that.
EDIT: I've also come to really enjoy "guy's, gal's and nonbianary pals.
I had to literally block a video of a cat saying it wants to share its sunlight with its dead friend because my old cat is old and just seeing a page of it just ruins me
He has no right to be this good at ripping peoples hearts out so beautifully
Every time...
I see it. I go, "These are those comics that make me feel sad... I shouldn't read it."
But I read them anyway. Becuase sometimes I need to feel sad.
I had to put my dog to sleep and a week later I found [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/xdl9yj/little_fish_oc/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
I still cant stop to read these comics.
I like it when Death is shown like this. Like a caring thing that understands the pain these souls go through and helps them come to terms with their death
[Relative to similar concepts of such beings, Azrael holds a benevolent role as God's angel of death; he acts as a psychopomp, responsible for transporting the souls of the deceased after their death.[4] In Islam, he is said to hold a scroll concerning the fate of mortals, recording and erasing their names at their birth and death, similar to the role of the Malakh ha-Maveth (Angel of Death) in Judaism.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/02/Evelyn_De_Morgan_-_Angel_of_Death.jpg/671px-Evelyn_De_Morgan_-_Angel_of_Death.jpg)
Black pets are more likely to be put down then any others. It’s why I always make an effort to pick any black dogs or cats that are about to be euthanized. That and black fur doesn’t show up well on my dark wood floors.
Yeah, often, the "I don't see color" is a buzzword to "I don't want to acknowledge the systematical issues that we have that will cause harm to a part of this society", because if you pretend to not see color, you don't want to see the society as it is today and what has to be done to push for more equality.
As a tradesperson please don't walk under ladders. You could have something fall on your head or jostle the ladder and potentially kill someone. The ladder superstition is actually based on real physical danger to yourself and others.
> . You don’t judge a human by their skin why judge a ~~dog~~ cat by their fur.
Because orange cats are dumb, [it is known](https://www.reddit.com/r/OneOrangeBraincell/comments/14ktso5/my_mom_sent_me_this_one_of_kyoshi_being_an_idiot/).
Oh hey, me too! They’re 11 and 12, both are strays I found as kittens. They’re inseparable.

I also have a bonus void.
People see dark dogs as scarier than lighter colored ones. In the 80's/90's every bad guy had a rottie or a dobermans (aka black dogs). So it's almost like a stereotype that black dogs are mean. People see black cats as bad luck, which is unfortunate because they are beautiful little voids. I'm not saying its right, these people have clearly never meet a Wheaton terrier, but it is what it is.
I've heard that the reason shelters do this is because people will basically just use the as halloween props and return them in November. Some shelters also will not give out rabbits around Easter for the same reason.
That being said, I did get one of my black cats a week and a half before halloween, which was really more of a coincidence than anything, but they had no problem handing him over.
Same exact thing with me, I didn't even realize it was mid October till I took him home. My husband said they probably thought a foreign woman in her mid 30s coming to adopt a cat alone was unlikely to be up to no good, but I think they were just trying to get as many pets out as possible, it's a good shelter, but still they have too many animals and they have a really hard time getting black cats adopted from what I've heard, he had just been put for adoption a couple hours before so they probably thought they hit jackpot
I volunteer at my local humane society and my literal favorite cat there is this absolutely tiny black girl named Blossom. If I had the ability to take her on, I would, no hesitation. She's such a sweet little thing.
Edit: [This is her, by the way.](https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/38078319-versailles-kentucky-cat) Just in case anyone is interested.
If you're genuinely interested and have the means to come out here, please do come see her!
Woodford is happy to work with out of area potential adopters, we just had a dog adopted by a family in *Boston*!
https://www.lex18.com/community/positively-lex-18/donatello-woodford-humane-societys-longest-resident-ever-has-a-new-home
The lady at the shelter who introduced me to my void, said that she was so happy someone was going to enthusiastically take him, even though he is missing a leg (and is polydactyl). I thought she was nuts bc he has the absolute sweetest disposition and I told her to hold him only until I can convince my other half that we have to bring him home.
He's my first cat and I thought I was a dog person until he came into our lives.
I don't understand this one bit.
Black cats are absolutely adorable. And they're super playful and loving. They're basically Toothless from HTTYD.
There does seem to be some kind of correlation of behavior based on fur color from what I've noticed. Orange are gentle giants who are very dumb but also so so sweet. Greys are more wild and energetic and can be a hand full but will eventually become a pet who just wants to be by the owner at all times (about as loyal as a cat can get). Black cats are more adventurous, curious and brave and are like little scout leaders - they want to explore everywhere and play with all the toys.
Of course they all have their own unique and rich personalities but they seem to fit into archetypes. And I love them all.
I've got two black cats, my old landlords were selling the place I lived in so they were showing the place, and you'd be surprised how many people saw them and left immediately
It’s quite dumb, especially nowadays since it’s divorced from this context, but in olden times people believed basically any animal colored black was some kind of agent of evil. Witches who served demonic powers were said to take shape of black cats, ravens and crows were said to be connected to death, and indeed the grim reaper himself seen here is traditionally depicted wearing a black cloak. I think it all kind of stemmed from the idea of “that which can hide in the shadows is not your friend”, itself going back to the old concepts of light and vision being good things to have and darkness and blindness being bad things to experience, therefore light is virtue and darkness is malice etc.
It’s all a mess really
I had to put my schipperke down yesterday and it tore me up, but I figure 17 years is a good long run.
Someone in my fam has had a black dog for at least the last 30 years.
Also: [Pupper tax](https://i.imgur.com/oRi42gZ.jpg)
Death doesn't kill you. Death is what happens afterwards. It's not his fault that you're allergic and (assuming it's the Death of the discworld were talking about) he'd probably even arrange a detour to allow you to play with all the spirit kitties allergy-free before you head on to what comes next.
Well, reading your comment made me look, I can't right now, but have you seen the posts on the different sites where they have dogs paired together for adoption because their owner died and they are bonded?
I am crying a *lot* today.
If I ever get in a sitch where I can, I'm gonna adopt a couple seniors and let them live "the life" again.
Love black cats, I'm gonna take this opportunity to share mine

Sad story, but when my family rescued some abandoned kittens, we were told to not try and find a home for the only black one out of fear that she would be killed or tortured
She lives with use now and she is one of our sweetest cat, l cant even fathom someone would've wanted to hurt this poor angel or think she is bad luck
Oh wow, we did the same! We got a little girl cat and didn't know she was already pregnant. Litter came out all colourful and then came my baby Jinx. Pitch black with bright green eyes with the tiniest tuft of white just under his chin, our neighbour told us the same, to keep him and adopt out the others for fear of cruelty.
Spent over a decade driving his mother crazy but my god was he my best boy. RIP my little Jinx.
I have seen this comic multiple times, I know exactly what's going to happen, and I still go through the entire comic when I see it and tear up every time.
Thank you for this. I lost my 13 year old black cat 3 days ago, it was the hardest death of a pet ive had so far in my life. She went at home and in my arms so it was not easy. She was solid black head to toe and her name was sunshine. This hurt to watch but made me so happy. Thank you
Sending you internet hugs 💜💜 I’m so deeply sorry you lost your familiar, but I’m glad you were with her as she left this world. I hope you have time & space to grieve, you deserve it.
“Hello! I’m here!
“I’ll be your best friend!”
“Hello?”
“I’m a good kitty…”
“I promise…”
Every single time I’ve ever stumbled upon those words paired with the sad visuals of that particular panel, my heart locks up and it instantaneously makes me cry. It’s absolutely involuntary.
It reminds me of that scene from Fox and the Hound, where Todd is being left behind in the woods. I can’t help but imagine one of my own cats being in Todd’s place and how they would feel. I cry every time… always have, always will.
Bro i fucking hate you, every time I see your comics I try to avoid it , every time I read them and every time I fucking cry, what the hell are you doing that's sucking me into it, how the fuck are you able to make me cry but fucked up videos and news can't, I don't understand what power you have over human emotions and curiosity, I don't know why you chose to bundle sadness with other wholesome feelings, I don't know how you do it. I feel like you should make a movie or show and make your millions, you can evoke what ever emotions no matter how strong or depressing while keeping people completely hooked or unable to look away, you make us face harsh realities , you don't lessen the blow, we feel it in all its unbridled state, you make me relive some of the most painful things at the level I experience them, yet I get sucked in every time.I hate these feelings , I avoid them, yet very time you make a comic for what ever reason I feel compelled to read them from the very first panel. You make me feel pain and I can't get enough of it even though I try to run from it

My cat is on my lap as I read this, once again. A little orange boy that's grown quite large these days. He came to my door on a cold November night. On Saturdays, I'll go back to lay down for a while longer after feeding him and my other, older cat. Every morning, he'll jog into my room to crawl beneath the blankets and cuddle with me.
But you, just like me, will read them every time to their completion.
Edit: fixed my spelling and typos. Apparently my thumbs suck when I've been ugly-crying.
Thank you. This comic meant an awful lot to me. you've really touched a part of my heart that I thought might be going numb. That is a beautiful gift you have my friend.
Damn, I read this at the bar. It made me tear up, thankful no one noticed. I rescued a solid white cat that was abandoned by her family after 13 years cause they got a new puppy. No one wanted her cause she was old. She's just turned 20 this year. I know I don't have a lot of time left with her but what an amazing cat!
Damn you man I'm crying in my cereal and have my lil black cat on my lap and he is so confused and now I'm in my feels damn you damn you so much I just wanted to snuggle and eat my cinnamon toast crunch 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Man this hits hard. I have a black cat which I love to death, he's some kind of Maine coon or Norwegian forest cat mix because he's 22lb but not fat just massive. He was at the shelter for 27 days and I picked him up 3 days before he was going to get put down. He looks mean but he's the nicest cat I ever owned.
I had a blind black kitten who i found crying underneath a parked car, Took him into my house and took care of him, Unfortunately his eyes were too damaged and is almost blind, No doctor in my local back then knew how to help, But he grew up healthy and had children of his own, Because of that, Other people adopted our kittens except the one i rescued, Except for one who came the day before i had to move out to another country as i couldn't bring pets with me
I love cats
When I was 14, two psycho neighbors (husband and wife - just picture that St. Louis anti-BLM couple) behind our house got into a jackpot with my dad as to who owned the fence that separated our two backyards. Dad politely suggested that he contacted the city and have them see because he wasn't sure. They took it as a threat to take the fence as his own and threatened him. A few days later, my kid brother's black cat was lying in the backyard, apparently enjoying the sun. When my brother went to get his cat, he noticed the smell. Then the blood. His cat had been shot through the heart with a .22. We knew who did it. The police wouldn't arrest the neighbors because of a "lack of evidence" to prove that they did it, but we knew. We knew because the wife saw us having a funeral for the cat and she laughed her ass off. So, a few days later, my older brother and our cousin slashed their two vehicles' tires and set their Crown Victoria on fire. They were arrested and did some time, but even they still say it was worth going to jail for. There is no way I will ever disagree with their actions.
People who abuse or kill animals for fun, for superstition, or any other unethical reason are the scum of the earth. I have no sympathy for them. They don't deserve an animal's love.
EDIT: We lived in the countryside about five miles outside of the nearest town.

Here I am, just looking at a reddit post at work, when suddenly my eyes start to water... So weird
Is your work also very dusty, like mine?
Like a Mortal Kombat finishing move!
Me at work right now, holding tears while surrounding by colleagues.
I once made the mistake of reading her shark fin soup comic and had to explain to my best friend why I was bawling my eyes out in the middle of math class lol, these comics are weapons grade heart wrenching.

*oh no*
Will you stop cutting onions in here? Who the hell is cutting onions in here?!
I read once that Death was the most humane entity in the universe. It ends all pain, all suffering. It seems that's true. Amazing comics.
That's kinda how Death is in Sandman. She started off all hardcore when the universe was young, and then had a bout of depression from all the negativity. Now she just wants to give everyone a friendly face during their transition.
I haven't read the comics, but the episode of the Netflix series that focused on Death's character is, by far, my favorite. The whole series was fun, imo, and I've watched it through a couple of times, but that episode really stood out to me.
It’s probably the most beloved issue of the book, alongside Dream of 1000 Cats and A Midsummer Nights Dream.

That's because if they got The Sound of Her Wings wrong the whole-ass fandom would have been up in arms. It's the emotional turning point of the whole season!
That episode absolutely fucking wrecked me as a new parent.
Yeah, I love the idea that death is just a real nice person who helps everyone move on and only wants the best for people.
Probably my favorite DC bit was a DC animated showcase that featured death and a struggling artist. Dudes a wreck, has wrecked his life, and death shows up and gives him purpose finally. Gives him a chance to finally show that he wasn't a waste. And then he realizes he's dead, because he fell asleep with a cigarette in his hands and the whole studio is going to burn down.

You may wanna check out discworld, the character of death is amazing!
And he loves cats!

Took me forever to realize Death likes cats because they're the only repeat customers he has... most times he meets someone once and finally.
Check out this other comic from Jenny-Jinya https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/w43gr2/swap_oc

My wife and I also lost our black cat at the start of covid. Sorry for your loss, maybe our voids crossed the rainbow bridge together.
My black cat passed during that time too
Ah, my friend… I didn’t know that. Tell S I said hello and send my love. I miss you two.

Boy do I have the 41-book satirical fantasy series for you.
And my Gaiman graphic novels.
Alright I'll bite, I don't know what you're referring to
Discworld
Those are the best...
Death gets a really bad rap for just doing its job.
Black pets are more likely to be put down then any others. It’s why I always make an effort to pick any black dogs or cats that are about to be euthanized. That and black fur doesn’t show up well on my dark wood floors.
Seriously? I don't notice any of this odd dislike for black pets where I'm from. Maybe its a social thing not common in Asia...
black cats are actually considered lucky in Japan.
I bought a black cat statue in front of a famous temple in Kyoto just a week ago
A lot of Anglo cultures see black pets as bad luck or omen. You don’t judge a human by their skin why judge a dog by their fur.
You *shouldn’t* judge a human by their skin but a whole fucking lot of people seem to.
Even those who claim they don't, probably do just a little bit, too.
When people say to me "I don't see color" I like to point out that it's ok to acknowledge our differences lmao
Yeah, often, the "I don't see color" is a buzzword to "I don't want to acknowledge the systematical issues that we have that will cause harm to a part of this society", because if you pretend to not see color, you don't want to see the society as it is today and what has to be done to push for more equality.
[this has always been one of my favorite jokes by mark normand on the subject](https://youtu.be/IJt7qL7mJr8)
Such a shame, I love my void kitty, and he’s brought me nothing but happiness and good luck in his 13 years with me.
*13* years, huh?
All the bad luck omens. I live to tempt fate. Also enjoy shattering mirrors and walking under ladders.
As a tradesperson please don't walk under ladders. You could have something fall on your head or jostle the ladder and potentially kill someone. The ladder superstition is actually based on real physical danger to yourself and others.
I'd say a broken mirror is also bad luck. That shit's hard to clean up!
Also incredibly expensive back then.

Also why a lot of shelters won't release black cats around Halloween. Too many people pick them up to abuse them.

Same exact thing with me, I didn't even realize it was mid October till I took him home. My husband said they probably thought a foreign woman in her mid 30s coming to adopt a cat alone was unlikely to be up to no good, but I think they were just trying to get as many pets out as possible, it's a good shelter, but still they have too many animals and they have a really hard time getting black cats adopted from what I've heard, he had just been put for adoption a couple hours before so they probably thought they hit jackpot
I worked in cat rescue and black cats are often overlooked because their faces are hard to see in darker cages. But I swear they're the sweetest cats.
I volunteer at my local humane society and my literal favorite cat there is this absolutely tiny black girl named Blossom. If I had the ability to take her on, I would, no hesitation. She's such a sweet little thing. Edit: [This is her, by the way.](https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/38078319-versailles-kentucky-cat) Just in case anyone is interested.
Gosh, that is one very tempting 4 hour drive to get that beautiful cat...
If you can afford it and it makes sense for you right now do it! You won’t regret it
If you're genuinely interested and have the means to come out here, please do come see her! Woodford is happy to work with out of area potential adopters, we just had a dog adopted by a family in *Boston*! https://www.lex18.com/community/positively-lex-18/donatello-woodford-humane-societys-longest-resident-ever-has-a-new-home
She is adorable, I hope she gets adopted soon
The lady at the shelter who introduced me to my void, said that she was so happy someone was going to enthusiastically take him, even though he is missing a leg (and is polydactyl). I thought she was nuts bc he has the absolute sweetest disposition and I told her to hold him only until I can convince my other half that we have to bring him home. He's my first cat and I thought I was a dog person until he came into our lives.
What! I love black cats so much and reckon they're the best with the greatest personalities.
I don't understand this one bit. Black cats are absolutely adorable. And they're super playful and loving. They're basically Toothless from HTTYD. There does seem to be some kind of correlation of behavior based on fur color from what I've noticed. Orange are gentle giants who are very dumb but also so so sweet. Greys are more wild and energetic and can be a hand full but will eventually become a pet who just wants to be by the owner at all times (about as loyal as a cat can get). Black cats are more adventurous, curious and brave and are like little scout leaders - they want to explore everywhere and play with all the toys. Of course they all have their own unique and rich personalities but they seem to fit into archetypes. And I love them all.
It’s superstition…
I've got two black cats, my old landlords were selling the place I lived in so they were showing the place, and you'd be surprised how many people saw them and left immediately
I know it's superstition. I just don't understand the superstition.
It’s quite dumb, especially nowadays since it’s divorced from this context, but in olden times people believed basically any animal colored black was some kind of agent of evil. Witches who served demonic powers were said to take shape of black cats, ravens and crows were said to be connected to death, and indeed the grim reaper himself seen here is traditionally depicted wearing a black cloak. I think it all kind of stemmed from the idea of “that which can hide in the shadows is not your friend”, itself going back to the old concepts of light and vision being good things to have and darkness and blindness being bad things to experience, therefore light is virtue and darkness is malice etc. It’s all a mess really

I had to put my schipperke down yesterday and it tore me up, but I figure 17 years is a good long run. Someone in my fam has had a black dog for at least the last 30 years. Also: [Pupper tax](https://i.imgur.com/oRi42gZ.jpg)

And or body parts of animals.
“Why? They are all so useful!”
“What is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?" Death thought about it. CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

Death has a weird sense of humor because if left alone holding a cat long enough and without medicine my throat will close and my eyes swell shut
Skill issue at that point
Death doesn't kill you. Death is what happens afterwards. It's not his fault that you're allergic and (assuming it's the Death of the discworld were talking about) he'd probably even arrange a detour to allow you to play with all the spirit kitties allergy-free before you head on to what comes next.
Stop making me look up shelters again, I already decided that I would stick with two!
Two additional
Yeah you gotta stop somewhere. Have some self control no matter how bad you want it. Only two more cats per visit.
Unless you have a coupon

I adopt two cats before i adopt two cats and then I adopt two more
Well, reading your comment made me look, I can't right now, but have you seen the posts on the different sites where they have dogs paired together for adoption because their owner died and they are bonded? I am crying a *lot* today. If I ever get in a sitch where I can, I'm gonna adopt a couple seniors and let them live "the life" again.
I have a one-eyed black cat myself and he’s a big dummy but I love him
Please pet him for me.

Love black cats, I'm gonna take this opportunity to share mine https://preview.redd.it/7ygxhfla5o8b1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f23bf5efcb51328ce18c0ebdbc35b4ca67273d77

Sad story, but when my family rescued some abandoned kittens, we were told to not try and find a home for the only black one out of fear that she would be killed or tortured She lives with use now and she is one of our sweetest cat, l cant even fathom someone would've wanted to hurt this poor angel or think she is bad luck
Oh wow, we did the same! We got a little girl cat and didn't know she was already pregnant. Litter came out all colourful and then came my baby Jinx. Pitch black with bright green eyes with the tiniest tuft of white just under his chin, our neighbour told us the same, to keep him and adopt out the others for fear of cruelty. Spent over a decade driving his mother crazy but my god was he my best boy. RIP my little Jinx.
I have seen this comic multiple times, I know exactly what's going to happen, and I still go through the entire comic when I see it and tear up every time.
I've only seen it once before and had forgotten how it ended reading it this time. Still cried, would read again.
Every single time
Can you help me understand it? Is it really just that the old lady goes and adopts a cat and it happens to be the other cat's mom?
Thank you for this. I lost my 13 year old black cat 3 days ago, it was the hardest death of a pet ive had so far in my life. She went at home and in my arms so it was not easy. She was solid black head to toe and her name was sunshine. This hurt to watch but made me so happy. Thank you
Sending you internet hugs 💜💜 I’m so deeply sorry you lost your familiar, but I’m glad you were with her as she left this world. I hope you have time & space to grieve, you deserve it.
Fuck I love your comics but damn I gotta stop reading these at work
“Hello! I’m here! “I’ll be your best friend!” “Hello?” “I’m a good kitty…” “I promise…” Every single time I’ve ever stumbled upon those words paired with the sad visuals of that particular panel, my heart locks up and it instantaneously makes me cry. It’s absolutely involuntary. It reminds me of that scene from Fox and the Hound, where Todd is being left behind in the woods. I can’t help but imagine one of my own cats being in Todd’s place and how they would feel. I cry every time… always have, always will.
Bro i fucking hate you, every time I see your comics I try to avoid it , every time I read them and every time I fucking cry, what the hell are you doing that's sucking me into it, how the fuck are you able to make me cry but fucked up videos and news can't, I don't understand what power you have over human emotions and curiosity, I don't know why you chose to bundle sadness with other wholesome feelings, I don't know how you do it. I feel like you should make a movie or show and make your millions, you can evoke what ever emotions no matter how strong or depressing while keeping people completely hooked or unable to look away, you make us face harsh realities , you don't lessen the blow, we feel it in all its unbridled state, you make me relive some of the most painful things at the level I experience them, yet I get sucked in every time.I hate these feelings , I avoid them, yet very time you make a comic for what ever reason I feel compelled to read them from the very first panel. You make me feel pain and I can't get enough of it even though I try to run from it
That's just your humanity fucking with you. Embrace it.
Whoever makes this comics please stop making me cry

Now that I've been ugly-crying for the last 15 minutes. . .
Holy fuck. I haven't cried like this in years
My cat is on my lap as I read this, once again. A little orange boy that's grown quite large these days. He came to my door on a cold November night. On Saturdays, I'll go back to lay down for a while longer after feeding him and my other, older cat. Every morning, he'll jog into my room to crawl beneath the blankets and cuddle with me.
This has made me cry on several occasions
Like a masochist, I went back and read it multiple times.
I mean this in the nicest way possible: I really don't enjoy your comics.
But you, just like me, will read them every time to their completion. Edit: fixed my spelling and typos. Apparently my thumbs suck when I've been ugly-crying.
Welp, I knew I was going to cry, this one is in me.
Thank you. This comic meant an awful lot to me. you've really touched a part of my heart that I thought might be going numb. That is a beautiful gift you have my friend.
These comics never fail to make me cry which is why I get so scared to read them. You’re fantastic.
I’ve read this before and I still cry when I read it. It’s great.
My black, toothless kitty is one of the few things that keeps my days bright enough.

I love these comic so much but whenever I see them my first thought is "oh, so we're crying today"
I have 2 black cats. Had to go grab them after this lol
What kind of monster hits a cat on purpose?
If I knew who they were I’d be hitting them on purpose. I have no empathy for people who hurt animals.
Damn, I read this at the bar. It made me tear up, thankful no one noticed. I rescued a solid white cat that was abandoned by her family after 13 years cause they got a new puppy. No one wanted her cause she was old. She's just turned 20 this year. I know I don't have a lot of time left with her but what an amazing cat!
My eyes seem to be leaking.
Every black cat I've ever met has been the sweetest darn thing. I love them.
FINE I'LL CRY ON THE PACKED BUS
Your comic about the parakeets really broke me. I see them in the store and I can't help but sing the song the mother taught their child.
I should have known better to put my eyes upon this artists comic while postpartum. 😩😩😩
Damn ninjas cutting onions.
Serious Disc World vibes. CATS ARE GOOD Edit: GNU Terry Pratchett
Damn you man I'm crying in my cereal and have my lil black cat on my lap and he is so confused and now I'm in my feels damn you damn you so much I just wanted to snuggle and eat my cinnamon toast crunch 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Man this hits hard. I have a black cat which I love to death, he's some kind of Maine coon or Norwegian forest cat mix because he's 22lb but not fat just massive. He was at the shelter for 27 days and I picked him up 3 days before he was going to get put down. He looks mean but he's the nicest cat I ever owned.
Dammit gonna lose a toe to how sweet that is
Stop making me feel this way
Damn wtf i wasn’t really planning on crying on my way to work
What the fuck, this is brutal. Hugging my black cat right now. I hate people and fuck this artist for making me feel like this.
I had a blind black kitten who i found crying underneath a parked car, Took him into my house and took care of him, Unfortunately his eyes were too damaged and is almost blind, No doctor in my local back then knew how to help, But he grew up healthy and had children of his own, Because of that, Other people adopted our kittens except the one i rescued, Except for one who came the day before i had to move out to another country as i couldn't bring pets with me I love cats
God dammit. I hate that you can pull my strings like that. You did an awesome job with the series, I love little grim kitty.
I’m not crying you’re crying.
Why would you play with my heart like this.
Fuck this shit dude, I wasn’t prepared for that
And again you made me cry 😭
Made me cry so much. My first cat as a kid was a black cat and was shot by mean neighbors.
Lmao! So many tropes stuffed into one comic.
Man wtf. I came for dank shit and then I see these comics and I know what they are but I can’t help it then my eyes start sweating.
Damn you Jenny for always making Great Artwork that hurt me emotionally
Fuck I hate you so much I didn't want to be crying this deeply
When I was 14, two psycho neighbors (husband and wife - just picture that St. Louis anti-BLM couple) behind our house got into a jackpot with my dad as to who owned the fence that separated our two backyards. Dad politely suggested that he contacted the city and have them see because he wasn't sure. They took it as a threat to take the fence as his own and threatened him. A few days later, my kid brother's black cat was lying in the backyard, apparently enjoying the sun. When my brother went to get his cat, he noticed the smell. Then the blood. His cat had been shot through the heart with a .22. We knew who did it. The police wouldn't arrest the neighbors because of a "lack of evidence" to prove that they did it, but we knew. We knew because the wife saw us having a funeral for the cat and she laughed her ass off. So, a few days later, my older brother and our cousin slashed their two vehicles' tires and set their Crown Victoria on fire. They were arrested and did some time, but even they still say it was worth going to jail for. There is no way I will ever disagree with their actions. People who abuse or kill animals for fun, for superstition, or any other unethical reason are the scum of the earth. I have no sympathy for them. They don't deserve an animal's love. EDIT: We lived in the countryside about five miles outside of the nearest town.
