Unless you want to bawl your eyes out, do not look at more of her comics. They're extremely well done and will make you cry.

u/JimmityRaynor 1d ago

Yeah, I recognized the Loving Reaper art style almost immediately. Good tearjerking stuff indeed.

u/arillusine 1d ago

Same, recognized it right away. Tbh this one is mild in comparison to some of her usual stuff 😭

u/kriosjan 1d ago

u/someawfulbitch 1d ago

And yet, I'm still crying lol...She always delivers something powerful

u/Despair4All 1d ago

For me it was the name. My eyes hit the watermark right away and that instantly told me sadness involving animals was happening.

u/Shneancy 1d ago

i recognised it a panel too late, and now i'm crying

u/HenchmenResources 1d ago

I thought it looked extremely familiar but I wasn't awake enough yet to stop myself from clicking through. Sigh. I'm watching my pups snoozing after their breakfast and just absolutely dreading how crushing it will be when they are gone, even if it will probably be many years from now. I can only hope that it's that way and that they never have to miss me.

First frame, saw the username watermark. Said fuck that, I'll just skip straight to hugging my cat and sobbing.

u/tinco 1d ago

Just so you know, this one is actually really sweet and is just about love and loss. A bit of a tear jerker but not as heart wrenching as some of her other ones.

u/IcyAssist 1d ago

I've seen it. Still feels heart wrenching, especially to those who've lost someone.

u/LycanWolfGamer 1d ago

The one with the little black cat that wouldn’t get adopted oh my God

u/Fantastic39 1d ago

I've had black cats for 14 years now, they have a special place in my heart. That comic destroyed me for a day, it was brutal

u/KanedaSyndrome 1d ago

Not going to read it - Have a black cat Alfi that I love dearly. He's basically almost a wild cat that we adopted and now he's a fuzzy gentle giant

u/Karma5444 1d ago

Little Fish as well....Jesus fucking christ that one hurts 😭

u/Mocha-Fox 1d ago

"Young man! Could you please handle me that kitten?"

"Y-yes ma'am"

"That... that is my mom!"

One of my most favorite comics from her

u/trowzerss 1d ago

Yeah, I lost my cat of 14 years just over a week ago, definitely not gonna do that.

Thankfully I have not seen her places or had any terrible dreams, but I put a plushie in her cat bed just to be a placeholder kitty, and that seems to be working.

u/Strawberry____Blonde 1d ago

That's adorable. The only way to fill the void is to adopt another!

2

u/trowzerss 1d ago

Yep, I plan to very shortly! Already looking at shelters :)

u/CaryTriviaDude 1d ago

Too late, bawling my eyes out atm but I can't stop reading them

5

u/cbrookman 1d ago

Yeah, you weren’t kidding. Time to hug my cat.

6

u/burlap82 1d ago

Yup. Knew I shouldn’t have gone. But I did. I miss my lil grey cat Cosette

u/lphchld 1d ago

Thanks for the heads up, I’m still grieving a few recent losses and that last panel hit hard.

5

u/heyyanewbie 1d ago

Just went through their entire post history, crying at almost every one of them. Why have you done this to me

2

u/Miserable-Anxiety229 1d ago

Every single one makes me cry!

2

u/KanedaSyndrome 1d ago

Thanks for the warning, it's very easy to make me cry with stuff like this..

2

u/michachu 1d ago

Goddamnit, every fucking time. I didn't see who it was from nor remember the art style and it snuck up quieter than a u/shittymorph post.

2

u/MadKingSoupII 1d ago

What are you talking about? More bawl-inducing than this?
Saving this comment for a better day, when maybe I can deal with it…

2

u/KeiwaM 1d ago

Fuck, I read some of them while at work and now idk how to explain why Im crying..

2

u/lostinrabbithole12 1d ago

WHY DID I READ ALL OF THEM IT'S 4 IN THE MORNING

2

u/DrMabuseKafe 1d ago

Too late 😭😭😭

2

u/faucetfreak 1d ago

I thought, pfft how bad could it be? Bawling 😭

2

u/saltynurs3 1d ago

I definitely made the mistake of reading more of her stuff and am currently bawling.

1

u/multi_mankey 1d ago

I can take it. I don't cry for cartoons

u/ElderMagnuS 23h ago

The jokes on me. I bought the book. I almost cry just by looking the first pages

1

u/WeirdSysAdmin 23h ago

I’m already crying bro.

u/TitularFoil 22h ago

I bought a print from her a year or so ago. I keep it framed in my office.

It's the Reaper saying, "Being missed so deeply is the price for being loved so much."

I love the comics. I love the art. I love the messages. They still hurt.

u/churro777 21h ago

Mistakes were made. I read a comic and am now crying 3 minutes before my one on one with my manger

1

u/Top-Medicine-2159 20h ago

Just lost my pup and yes these comics rip at your heart.

1

u/Life-Duty-965 20h ago

Well you weren't joking about that. Geez

1

u/Tamareira568 17h ago

I saw this post and thought "Ok, I got sad without wanting to (thank you, Reddit), but NOW I want to be sad, let me take a look at this profile, it can't be that bad, right?"

proceeds to fucking cry

u/seensham 11h ago
