Wtf
In case, you're not aware, it's a reference to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_sale:_baby_shoes,_never_worn

Exactly. Only C&H would combine Hemingway with The 5 Stages of Grief (#3 is Bargaining) and make a morbidly funny comic about it.
That sentence isn't actually from Hemingway. That's a common misattribution. See the Wikipedia article I linked. 😅

Depressing Comic Week?
But could be bog standard C&H. Sometimes it's hard to tell.
Usually there's a depressing comic week banner at the top, so this is just them being regularly dark.
Miscarriages are really common and women who have miscarriages can generally go on to have other children normally if they choose to.
