That is the right kind fo want.
This comic made me feel old and I love everything about it.
Well I hate this day now.
Who is peeling onions in here?
The onions are pretty strong here. AND the dust.
My years are ticking by. I feel this comic hard.
awwwww
I’m not crying you’re crying
We both crying :3
Is this win?
Heartbreaking.
And imagine that we could reverse aging, so even those joints would not hurt. With more investments into biogerontology we could do that. Please, consider signing up the #DublinLongevityDeclaration to request more funds to such research 👇 https://dublinlongevitydeclaration.org/
For those who may not know, Randall Munroe is the author of XKCD.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randall_Munroe :
In October 2010, Munroe’s fiancée was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer; there had been no prior family history.[51][52] The emotional effect of her illness was referenced in the comic panel “Emotion”, published 18 months later in April 2012.[53] In September 2011, he announced that they had married.[54] In November 2012, Munroe published a comic entitled “Two Years”, reflecting on their relationship since his wife’s breast cancer diagnosis.[55] He revisited the subject in December 2017 with a comic entitled “Seven Years”[56], in November 2020 in a comic entitled “Ten Years”[57], and again in November 2025 in a comic entitled “Fifteen Years”.[58]
I’ve been a fan of xkcd for almost 15 years myself. Randall seems like such a genuinely great person and I cry with the happies a little bit every time there’s another comic on how long they’ve had together after the diagnosis.
Damn. I’m happy for them.
❤️
My SO and I celebrated a 12 year anniversary of some sort earlier this month and we always take a selfie at some point. I looked at the photo and realized we got old
It made me so sad that we have so little time here together
My husband has stopped joking about his hair growing distinguished and started admitting it’s turning grey.
Now I feel old.
Is this not loss?
This is if Buckley actually knew how to tactfully deal with the topic of grief.
I think you dropped a hyphen.
And no, it’s not ass-love
Is this gain?
And I thought the other day that it has been a while since he’s done a romantic comic.
Surprise wife hug attack. She won’t see it coming.
