I found out about the comic from QC guest strip, and read the whole story right away.

Don’t really know what to say. It really moved me and made me live in the story and with its characters. Quite an sad ending to beautiful story, I’m almost angry at you for making me feel so sad. Guess I didn’t really see this coming, even though there were some “hints” or shall I say almost equally painful thins along the road.

Thank you for the touching play of emotions and bizarre events witch became an unforgettable journey. Love.

Wow, I really love this story! I discovered this website yesterday, trough QuestionableContent and read the whole thing today.

I normally don’t donate on the internet, but I think this story really deserves the appreciation..!

If you’re going to write another story, I’d love to read it!

Thanks!

While it’s true that death due to complications during childbirth is extremely uncommon, keep in mind that Maria is a very tiny woman. I’m no doctor and thus not an expert on the subject, but I would imagine complications occur more in very petite women than in normal-sized women.

That said, this was heartbreaking but a wonderful just the same. Thank you, Rene, for creating such a beautiful and human comic.

I’ve been reading this comic for years and have never left a comment. I see other thanks and beautiful words already posted so I have only to say thank you, Rene. This was never a time killer but a part of a journey.
Love, Jenwa

Thanks! This was a really good story. It was very engaging and powerful in spite of the flaws some have painstakingly documented I enjoyed the art, regardless of which techniques you used – it was always warm, inviting, and fluid – I like your style. I was also impressed with the way you were able to balance your major characters – I loved and loathed them all at different times. Like real people, they all made infuriatingly realistic choices – definitely not perfect choices – and there were no “heroes” or “villains” (well, except for Ass-man Lars). In fact, I hated… well, disliked… the title characters through much of the last third of the story, but the story was too good to give up on them!

You just reduced a seventeen year old hockey jock to tears. And if you know anything about teen hockey culture, you’ll know that that isn’t easy.

I have been reading this stories for quite a while. In fact recently I have become a new father. Our pregnancy was fraught with emotional and logisical problems that were ultimately resolved. So in some ways I very much relate to Anders. But very luckly as absolutely no complications with the pregnancy and birthing itself.
When I saw Anders standing there with the baby in the cradle, truly alone, I couldn’t help but cry. I’m soo lucky that not only I have a beautiful girl but my lovely wife is still with me. So lucky.
Thank you Rene for creating such a beautiful work in both art and story. It really spoke to my heart. I hope you can continue with new projects in the future.

This was really, horribly depressing. It’s poetic and all, but wow. D: But the way he says “she never woke up” – that’s slightly open-to-interpretation, isn’t it? Sounds more like she’s in a coma than dead.

I….I fucking hate you. I really do…..

This is an amazing story, it is. I hate the ending, but you can’t always have what you want, I guess.
