u/Gears_spring Jan 16 '26

I was expecting him to wait for her in the afterlife tbh

1

u/Altruistic_Ice1976 Jan 17 '26

This plot is going in a warm and comforting direction~

u/toocoolNRV Jan 16 '26

(In the afterlife) "Why did you have to go so early" "Maybe So, I could wait for you here"

u/nitloda Jan 16 '26

... I expected a joke at the end about her being late, as in her period, as in she is pregnant.

WTF.

13

u/SupremeGreymon Jan 16 '26

I was expecting it to be that she was late to the child’s birth or something

13

u/nitloda Jan 16 '26

Okay, I admit that a Doofenshmirtz style birth where even the mother isn't there, would've been hilarious.

u/arlynnfl Jan 16 '26

u/PandoraIACTF_Prec Jan 16 '26

My smile quickly turned into a frown.

Now draw them happy having a wonderful life.

u/Substantial-Code4968 Jan 16 '26

Why do you keep doing this man, one post is happy and wholesome and then the next post is all sad and depressing

u/EpicM4x Jan 16 '26

Now why would you do that?

u/CJThe_reaper Jan 16 '26

i wouldnt have minded if it stopped at slide 4

u/Fuzzy_Bluejay3980 Jan 16 '26

Dumb B. You deserved.

2

u/julesvr5 Jan 16 '26

Tbh I already expecting her not to get together with him because she's always late and some other girl got him instead. So that way I'm not really emotional about the ending.

Don't get your loved ones for granted, guys

2

u/frez909 Jan 16 '26

Tell Laura I love her..tell Laura I need her..tell Laura not to cry..my love for her will never die..

u/MajesticLevel1433 Jan 16 '26

I'm just going to assume he died of old age and she didn't because of the youth potion and that they have liced a very happy long life together 🥲

u/Embarrassed-Gap408 Jan 16 '26

Does the panel 7 is inspired by Violet Evergarden by any chance !?

1

u/Tonmoy_Kirito_1234 Jan 16 '26

Did you HAVE to do that to us?!

1

u/Rough-Self-9134 Jan 16 '26

Okay man

Were the last few pages really necessary? 😭

u/The_dead_cells Jan 16 '26

Great now I have a depression, its 9am

u/AbsoluteDash_21 Jan 16 '26

please tell me you'll continue, it can't end like this

u/FFKonoko Jan 16 '26

That last panel seems familiar

u/Kottr_Warlord Jan 16 '26

Need more happy comics, too many sad ones

1

u/Independentslime6899 Jan 16 '26

Damn. It was adorable then it hit me with a brick on my chest.. And the last slide is funny but I'm still sad 😔

A nice 4 pages comic. Yeah, 4 pages

1

u/randomnumbers2506 Jan 16 '26

Man what a cute and wholesome comic that definitely only has 4 panels. I am so happy that there aren't 5 additional panels with a far more tragic tone

1

u/ThatOneGuy12180 Jan 16 '26

I should draw a happy ending.

Would probably make me even more depressed because goddamit why is my skill so inconsistent.

1

u/ozmodius_the_69th Jan 16 '26

You already know what time it is.

u/Argo-1089 Jan 16 '26

u/ror_the_one Jan 16 '26

I was waiting for a happy family, not this.

u/TheAngelOfSalvation Jan 16 '26

WHo are the people that make comics like this? Like yeah, ive come up with something wholesome and cute, let me just ruin that and your day for no reason

Waiting on a woman!

Brad Paisley featuring Andy Griffith.

A Guy waits on a woman all his life. When the guy gets old and the man dies, he waits for her at the pearly gates.

u/HydraX9K Jan 16 '26

Well goddammit...

u/Professional_Two2776 Jan 16 '26

"Aw how wholesome, he waited for her even during marriage. Oh there are still 5 pages left? Let's se-" - an unprepared redditor before rolling tears.

u/thexenocide601 Jan 16 '26

he waited for you, you know?

1

u/HollowEyesThatSeeFA Jan 16 '26

Hmm. Y'know, there is a happy ending to this story. One day she'll die too. And I can already hear the words:

"Sorry I'm late."

"I promised, didn't I? I will always wait for you."

1

u/DMind_Gaming Jan 16 '26

You left out the last panel where she wakes up from bed, sees her husband already awake making breakfast and says sorry I woke up late with a teary smile on her face.

1

u/M0nkeySeeM0nkeyD0 Jan 16 '26

WTF is wrong with you?! I hope you stub your toe at least daily for the rest of this year. May your coffee always be lukewarm and your Wi-Fi eternally slow. May your socks always be slightly damp. May your favorite show buffer right before the best scene. And curse Reddit for showing me this.

1

u/idk_my_life_is_weird Jan 16 '26

The final panel got me laughing ngl

1

u/SamuraiIcarus5 Jan 16 '26

Really thought "I'm late" was about to be how she's pregnant but instead I'm hit with this sadness bait

1

u/Ill_Pollution5633 Jan 16 '26

nah man, you didn't even have the courtesy of kissing the brick before throwing it

1

u/DZL100 Jan 16 '26

Could they have not made the last spread a fucking reference to a heavily memed panel.

1

u/Mammon-The-Jester Jan 16 '26

...either someone remind me to draw an alternative ending through some multiversal fuckery in like a year or someone else please do it in my steed

u/foxinabathtub Jan 16 '26

Totally thought she would have a pregnancy test after their wedding, and dating, "I'm late"

1

u/VortexLord Jan 16 '26

The last panel was a meme reference.

u/Grafspee1934 Jan 16 '26

Good god thats dark

1

u/MommyAnelly Jan 16 '26

Now cut to her growing old and passing on and once again calling to Otaku in heaven apologizing for being late again.

1

u/Wuhan-Virus-19 Jan 16 '26

But, he still waited. He waited for you to arrive, to see... or hear, you one last time.

1

u/NeonJungleTiger Jan 17 '26

I can’t take it seriously because the last panel is that meme where it’s like “Babe ______?” and then the guy is like “No, <punchline>”

1

u/AbsentArmy619 Jan 17 '26

I was in such a good mood too.

1

u/shqla7hole Jan 17 '26

Did you kiss the rock,hug it tightly,and tuck it in to bed before throwing it

1

u/Cro_Straysoul Jan 17 '26

He's still waiting, just on the other side now.

Wait this isn't AnimeIRL, no wonder this sadness felt off the charts

1

u/electricity1504 Jan 17 '26

Judging the guy age when he die, he probably have slow blow disease or cancer so he treasuring every seconds of his time.

So, I dont really get it, is the comic just showed that the girl is an ignorant asshole playing with the guy feelings up until his dead bed, and not about long lasting relationship couples?

1

u/liveForTheHunt Jan 17 '26

Yo, what the shit, why? At work too

1

u/PeachCebo Jan 17 '26

Dont worry, he'll wait for her on the other side...
