007 “Suicide Prevention Week”

52 Comments

sl007

Commentary from May 2, 2013
Probably one of my best original jokes and it happened too early. Had I known how difficult is was going to be to continue the strip, I would have never had started it. But I’m glad I did, and I’m glad I got the damn story finished.

Included below is the original strip as it was first published May 18, 1999. As you might note I didn’t do a lot of coloring back then. When I rescanned and recolored the strip for the Sexy Losers website, I did a more complete job. In the last panel there was a shout out to Naska who was a friend at the time. A lot of the first year strips contained a lot of shout outs, most of them left in except for this one. Our friendship turned very sour and I felt she would not want her name kept in so I erased it when it was recolored for the Sexy Losers site.

Commentary from June 18, 2002
The saddest part of doing Sexy Losers is that my best joke came out so early. Every strip since has lived under the shadow of this one.

It was actually suicide prevention week. I heard it on the radio the one morning. I didn’t give it much thought, until I was walking home from work trying to work out an idea for the next strip. It just sort of popped into my head from nowhere, already worked out. I dashed it off, and I had a classic in my hands.

When I see people posting my strips (the bandwidth sucking bastards) or quoting them, this is the strip they use. It’s kind of sad, because it’s not a representative strip, it’s actually pretty damn funny.

        I’m personally more bothered by the fact that lots of them cut the last panel off. It’s not remotely as funny without the punchline. I think people laugh because they’re like, ‘ha ha, necrophilia is one of the paraphilias least explored even in a comedic sense, even in the current climate of constant offensive humor, and is one of the taboos that nobody defends, thus you’d think more people WOULD joke about it with aplomb, but it doesn’t ever seem to work out that way.”

        Whereas Sexy Losers was making jokes about it in 1999.

        Still one of the best comics out there.

          The cutting of the last panel bothers me too, because then you know she lost her nerve for doing it that way. But naturally, taking off my name and URL annoys me more.

          actually it’s way funnier and makes for much more interesting social commentary without the last panel. and it makes the title make sense.

            There is no reason this comic should ever invite social commentary. A guy first sexually harasses a woman about to commit suicide, then threatens her with necrophilia. There is nothing OK about this. In the end she just finds another way to kill herself. The guy only dissuades her from killing herself *using this method only*. The root causes of her depression still exist. No reasonable person would ever think this is actually a method to prevent suicide, hence the title is actually irony rather than literal.

            For finding it more funny, well, there are people who think “Friends” and “Full House” are funny, so humor is subjective.

    I remember seeing this with a Follow up strip and on a whim of looking for that strip had led me to this website. Now that I know its a full on webcomic, I intend to read it all and stay current.

    also, would anyone know where I could find the sequel to this one in the meantime?

    I always wondered… In a meta sense I guess it’s because it was supposed to be a one-shot strip or something like this, but in context, Shiunji asking Yuuko to have sex BEFORE jumping has some explanation or, again, you simply hadn’t still decided his characterization?

      SL, being a gag strip, i was always more concerned with what would have the greatest comedic impact at the moment. So it’s definitely Flanderization for Shiunji, him being solely a necrophiliac and being offended with living people sex had more comedic impact later. I just did whatever i thought was funny at the time, characterization be damned.

    I have to politely disagree with the “cutting the last panel loses the puchline” part. The third panel, with her “erk”, is the actual puchline. At that exact point everyone knows she is most definitely NOT jumping because she is freaked as fuck.The fourth panel shows a different joke – “ah, well, I’ll overdose onsleeping pills instead”, which is not even as remotely funny as the main joke. From a comedy point of view, the last panel might be actually superfluous… which does NOT mean that it’s OK to cut it and the credits as some people do. Just that, as Clay has mentioned himself, it’s one of the first strips and he has learned a lot since then. Practically no other strip of this comic improves by cutting a panel – which can’t be said of the work of some other humorists, even a few big name ones.

      no, it’s great with the fourth panel as it is. Without the fourth panel, it’s just a creepy response. We need to know her response to it — her response reaffirms the creepiness, and in such a way that she actually abandoned that method of suicide because it was so creepy. Now a person who is determined to kill themselves really shouldn’t care about the manner of their death once they’ve committed to it, but Shiunji’s response makes her reevaluate everything. Then jump to the final panel when we know her response, and she’s even dousing it with some cognitive dissonance by telling herself that the sleeping pills are yummy (they are not, obviously), trying to help justify the change of method while trying to forget Shiunji’s creepy comment.
      To me, reading the first three panels is like hearing a creepy response — what makes it work is knowing that she thinks it’s a creepy response as well and changes her mind. The fourth panel allows the reader to laugh at the joke because the creepiness of it has been averted. Removing the fourth panel removes the strip’s heart – it is basically reduced to Shiunji’s threat of sexually assaulting her dead body, a note I did NOT want to end the strip on.
