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

Somehow the local authorities manage to out what-the-fuck Carl:

"Shortly after the corpse's discovery by authorities, physicians and pathologists examined Elena's body and put it on public display at the Dean-Lopez Funeral Home, where as many as 6,800 people viewed it.[9]"

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

Now when you say it's fucked up are we talking like explicitly graphic content shown in detail or just explicit content that's alluded to but not shown?
