I haven't seen Sexy Losers in a long time.
Quick, back to the time machine! Next stop: megatokyo, or sluggy freelance.
Wow. Til the latest one was posted July the 13th of 2024... Gotta reread them all then!
I've recently re-read all of it, and it made me so nostalgic for internet that wasn't sterile and jokes like this were the norm.
We’ll be doing oglaf.com soon at this rate.
Right? Also I remember it somehow different and I also must partially confuse it with another lewd comic from the time.
Anyone remember a comic very similar to sexy losers? I remember one story arc with a scantily clad girl that always masturbated and tried to convince people of stupid sex ideas, e.g. pitching to bounty kitchen paper execs to make soft super absorbant paper targeting chronic masturbators, I think the tagline was "gay for bounty" and her pitch was "that's how we get those fuckers at kleenex" and the execs went "how do you keep getting past security?"
E: found it! Ghastlys ghastly webcomic EE: The comic in question
Thin H Line..... A name I haven't thought about in a long time
He's posting a new one every once in a while.
Sleeping pills? What, like he didn't follow her home?
(Also we're counting deciding to kill themselves in a different way as "prevention?" At best it's procrastination.)
He doesn’t, but you see in later comics he’s working at the funeral home and… well… it takes a couple turns.
Edit: For anyone who wants to read this specific arc.
Warning: it’s seriously fucked up.
Yeah that's fucked up alright, this slide was notable
I was thinking this would be the obvious thing to happen without even knowing there were more comics about it. It's good see stuff be reused.
that was uh… interesting
You know it's serious when you need a VPN to access it in your country
It's basically impossible to kill yourself with sleeping pills.
Taking too many sleeping pills at once or taking sleeping pills and alcohol simultaneously can cause a deadly overdose. Many sleeping pill overdose deaths may be accidental, but some are intentional suicides. If a person becomes severely depressed, he or she may abuse sleeping pills with other drugs to intentionally overdose.
In 2017, 47,173 Americans died by suicide and 13.9 percent of those deaths were caused by poisoning.9 Although an overdose can occur with a high dose of sleeping pills, a deadly overdose caused by sleeping pills is much more common when alcohol is involved.

Ah, finally, people posting this without cropping either the last panel or the header. Good.
Yeah I've never seen the last panel before
Why’s she dressed like a Japanese schoolgirl?
I guess she's a Japanese schoolgirl.
When I die I donate my body first to the necrophiliacs of the world and last the cannibals. Go nuts you guys.
No no. Get the order right.
- Necrophiliacs
- Organ donation
- Cannibals
- Wiccans, pagans, or anyone else who can use bones for religious ceremonies.
First should be organ donation, it got to be fresh
- Science, so the final stage is being shot from a canon. Or helping a med student. I'm fine with either
I don't know wether to upvote or downvote...
On one side it's a joke that works but on the other it's creepy af
I'll meet in the middle with a +0This is the least bad comic in the series. This is the guy that literally invented fap.
Ol' reliable (+0)
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Why the fuck was this the comment that got me
At least he tried to save her.
Save her body for later use.
Read the whole series
insert cursed mr incredible here
"To understand revolutionary suicide it is first necessary to have an idea of reactionary suicide, for the two are very different. Reactionary suicide: the reaction of a man who takes his own life in response to social conditions that overwhelm him and condemn him to helplessness.”
“I do not think that life will change for the better without an assault on the Establishment, which goes on exploiting the wretched of the earth. This belief lies at the heart of the concept of revolutionary suicide. Thus it is better to oppose the forces that would drive me to self-murder than to endure them. Although I risk the likelihood of death, there is at least the possibility, if not the probability, of changing intolerable conditions.”
“But before we die, how shall we live? I say with hope and dignity; and if premature death is the result, that death has a meaning reactionary suicide can never have. It is the price of self-respect.”
– Dr. Huey P. Newton
Huey P. Newton (Revolutionary Suicide, 1973)
A Black Panther Founder, killed a police officer in 1967 but overturned after two hung juries.
Accused of murdering Kathleen Smith and Betty Van Patter in 1974, Patter being the Black Panther's bookkeeper found brutally beaten to death, still no conviction. Black Panther leadership admitted to firing her, and she apparently made statements before her death accusing them of tax evasion.
After that seemingly distanced himself from the movement and went into academia.
Died in 1989 murdered by African American Prison Gang "Black Guerrilla Family" which if nothing else is pretty ironic. I'd wager that he regretted ever publishing this excuse for violent extremism by the time he died.
Ya'll can just skip the shit that got him and others killed and go straight into academia if you want to have a positive impact on the world.
Iirc there is a manga about this.
There was/is a twit h account called SeeYouTomorrow. No idea who was behind the account (only in other streamers chat. Didnt stream). Will never forget those simple 3 words.
Wouldn't work, but good humour.
What even is the joke here? She decided to kill herself at home to reduce the likelihood of someone raping her corpse?
Or is it funny because the guy on the bridge saw her attempt at suicide as a sexual opportunity?
It's almost like an anti-joke, where the humor comes from how offensive it is. It's sad to think there are people who live this sort of experience, being seen as a sex object more than a human being, even in the darkest hours of their life. That's gotta fuck someone up.
It's called black humor. It's funny because it's dark, shared suffering. Hospice nurses and grade school teachers, for instance, tend to have great black humor.
Either you're looking for something to be offended about or you're lucky and haven't suffered much in your life.
I love black humor, but this is weak. A good black joke uses dark subjects to amplify effective humor, it's not just funny because it's crude. This is more akin to shock humor. The place it really falls short is the punchline imo.
Frankly I think the amount I've suffered probably detracts from it if anything; I've been there for two different friends after they lost a sister to suicide, both had been aggressively sexualized during their depression.
Or the third option, it's not that funny.
When it comes to black humour, people tend to have lower standards. I guess for them the shock factor is enough to carry the joke. But once you've seen enough black humour, the shock factor starts to wear thin. The shock factor should complement the joke, not be the subject of it.
Sexy Losers explores far worse subjects. This, in particular, is an origin story. It gets so, so much worse.
