If this happened to me, I would bawl my eyes out and hug them, wait for them to heal, and then smack the living shit out of them for scaring me half to death. That being said, I'm glad Mike's alright.
1. I love that the video was in a glass box to break in the case of that particular emergency.
2. The colours with Jane (and Don) watching that video are gorgeously done.
3. When Mike gasped, I did too!! XD;
4. Last few panels were so surprisingly heartwarming, I feel so heart-warmed.
5. What is that simple thing indeed? I'll put my money on 'love'. 😉
Damn this was deep, I've been thinking of the negativity of the future, especially death of myself and my loved ones, just gotta accept it and enjoy what ever joy I can get
His commentary on the shallowness of pursuing material success over anything else (especially human bones) made me think back to Park, and if this looming (future of) emptiness awaits him. Is the state being prepared for his last, final cameo in OP perhaps?
Can you imagine your employees walking past it for years and years without somebody sneaking a look? I just put 2 and 2 together to smell “setup”. I think Mike wants to hand over the reins now….
I really enjoyed when you started showing Marek (a cool, hard-to-read character with his eyes hidden) in a more vulnerable way after his break-up with Hanna.
This comic hit me in the same way. I love how you make your characters feel so human.
You know, I'm starting to think that Don is Jane's imaginary friend. He disappeared at the crisis, then suddenly he's back… Has he ever provably interacted with anyone else?

Wait, aren't EMT's trained to let people finish a farewell? 😉
Oh, and props to Meredith on the "fuzzing" of an old VHS tape.
Wait, knowing Mike, it was probably Betamax…

In 40 years, Park will become the Mike of Chicago.

The most… satisfyingly.. frustrating.. is there a word for that? You've achieved a superlative in something we don't even have a WORD for yet.

How much do you want to bet that Mike also left that box of Kleenex in the the glass case for… whomever?
Copycat
Swag?

Or maybe he's just a bad friend.
oldjeangallagher
Yes, he and Eve initiated (and then quickly dropped) a half-hearted fling at a party at his/Jane's place a while back.

I'm just commenting to say that this is an amazing webcomic and that it is amazing to see comments go from 360+ weeks old to one or less.
I've just spent my last 5 days going through the emotional roller coaster this webcomic is…
