    I’m noticing (to my tastes) a pattern with LastPlaceComics: funny premises and well-executed but overstay past when the strip should’ve ended. End before the 6th panel, and this comic is instantly funnier.

    (The first example I saw of this the one where two teens pull up to a fast food drive-thru and ask for an Order 66 as a prank, but the employees really do it. It’s a solid comic until they run the joke completely into the ground with multiple too many panels)

      Disagree. This image of the guy’s body dissolving as all his cells gain independence is fucking existentially terrifying, which adds a piquant flavour in the epilogue.

      BTW, your hatred of epilogues… Are you Neal Stephenson?
