You might have missed the joke?
The joke isn't that miscarriage is funny. That's edgelord material.
The joke is that B^Uckley is a hack writer and hack artist and his comics aren't funny and look like shit. It's making fun of him.
Might have been the case 17 years ago. In the mean time Buckley grew up, became a really decent guy and CAD 2.0 is a really good read.
Thinking that loss is still a relevant critique of Buckley or his work just means you are getting old and haven't updated your prejudices in almost 2 decades.
People posting loss memes almost qualify for an "ok boomer" by now.
Well, by now it's just a self referential meme like all memes. The joke is itself, the context doesn't even matter anymore.
It's still not a joke about miscarriage.
