Sorry, I'm a dumb dumb. Can someone explain?

It's from an old Penny Arcade, Ctrl+Alt+Del, often mocked for its sudden melodramatic tone in an otherwise silly comic series:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_(comic)

Imagine going through that in real life, eventually sitting down to make a heartfelt comic about it, and then the entire internet takes the piss.

If anything that just makes it even funnier.

The initial reaction was good, but through later interaction with the artist it became clear that it was a one off thing, unrelated to the canon of the series, and unrelated to anything happening in his life. His overall hostility to questions about it turned people to the idea that he did it to steal undeserved pathos from his audience. Thus, he became a clown.

Wrong webcomic. Ctrl + Alt + Del is the name.

Well shit, my bad. Fixed, thanks!

All good! You were in the ballpark, certainly. I read CAD, but not Penny Arcade, and I was there when Loss was uploaded, so the distinction is clear to me.
