Yeah, we hate Danny in Iceland. He's a slippery character and gives me the chills.

I'm glad he specified though, else I would have thought he was Danny in Iceland and things could have gotten awkward.

I e-mailed him and asked him what happened, so maybe it was just a glitch that's been brought to his attention and now fixed.

Tats a shame, I really like the original more. It gave both, fatal flaw and horrible revelation feeling. Just..that moment ..the very moment when the horror of the truth dawns..and then you die realizing your child is still in peril.

Man that was brilliant. I wish He would say something about changing it.

Zach realized that having a good comic would ruin his bad comic streak, so he changed it secretly in the hopes that no one would notice he actually wrote something clever for once.

Yes, it seems to have been changed. The last few frames were removed. A quick google search and you can find the original though.

The missing frames:
Mom says "That's odd. He was right next to you when I shot him. Why aren't you covered in Blood? Why aren't you crying?"
Boy says "Because I'm the happiest boy ever and you're the best mommy, and nothing's wrong at all!"
Last frame is the mother with a perplexed look on her face.

Same thing here. Now I'm not sure if I'm in reality or have triggered the pleasure chip...

Was part of the end removed? Am missing something? IT's not the same ending today as it was when I first saw it.

There's another SF short story similar to this comic: "The Stuff" by Henry Slesar. In this story a man with fatal injuries gets a new drug and is miraculously healed. Then, he lives a very happy life...
Really? ;-)

Still love stories like these...

Hi,

I like this comic. Reminds me of the shirt story by John Brunner, "The Easy Way out". In this story two crash landing astronauts have to decide whether to suffer to the bitter end or to switch on a device to enjoy the last hours in a lucky virtual life.

Nice, nice.

Wow, someone else read that book as well?

This does seem to be rather similar.

Okay, I know that just a couple comics ago, I complained about a lack of funny, but let me tell you:

This is absolutely brilliant. Beyond amazing. I love it when normally funny webcomic writers come up with things like this. It really shows a depth of writing ability that we just don't normally see. And, aside from that, the comic was awesome.
