Line #5 TearJerker/Xkcd


1	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/881/ Probability,]] especially for relatives of cancer victims and even more so after Randall himself later announced that his fiancee has breast cancer. Made even worse by the IronicEcho in the AltText : "My normal approach is useless here too." Damn.
2	%%** The follow up from just about a year later: [[http://xkcd.com/931/ Lanes,]] especially the massive final panel. The AltText just drives the point home further...
3	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/695/ Spirit]]
4	%%** For extra anthropomorphism point, consider [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d3/Nasa_mer_marvin.jpg Spirit's mission patch]]. You did well, lad. We're so proud of you.
5	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/383/ Helping]]
6	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/102/ Back to the Future]]. Ow.
7	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/561/ Well]]
8	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/701/ Science Valentine]]
9	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/647/ Scary]]. And how.
10	%%* [[http://www.xkcd.com/767/ Temper]] is this for anyone that grew up with ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood''.
11	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/502/ Dark Flow,]] especially for anyone who lost a parent. Even more especially a mother.
12	%%** And now we have an [[http://xkcd.com/1490/ explanation ...]] (Check the alt-text.)
13	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/814/ Diode]] The Alt Text makes it even worse.
14	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/46/ Secrets]]
15	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/128/ "Will it ever stop hurting?"]]
16	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/144/ "but secretly we're just afraid to tell it to love"]]
17	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/379/ Forgetting]]
18	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/961/ Eternal Flame]] Especially the alt text. [[note]]This comic was made after his death, as a tribute to UsefulNotes/SteveJobs.[[/note]]
19	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/101/ Laser Scope]]. It may be strange or funny at first but then you read the alt text...
20	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/240/ Dream Girl]], although [[http://thephoenix.com/Boston/News/48208-wisdom-of-crowds/ this]] may help.
21	%%* In a similar spirit: [[http://www.xkcd.com/551/ Etch-a-Sketch]].
22	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/390/ Nightmares]]. Part TearJerker.
23	%%* The Barrel Boy story, [[http://xkcd.com/11 especially]] [[http://xkcd.com/25/ these]] [[http://xkcd.com/31/ three]].
24	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/1042/ Never]]. Most of these at least have a sense of humor, but this... doesn't.
25	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/449/ Things Fall Apart]].
26	* [[http://xkcd.com/893/ 65 Years]]. We live in a time when human beings alive today have set foot on another world. This may not last much longer (unless [[https://www.nasa.gov/specials/artemis/ Artemis]] goes ahead).
27	%%* Most people who's ever had a crush, will probably have gone though the same thing as in [[http://xkcd.com/642/ Creepy]]
28	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/1259/ Bee Orchid]] "I'll remember your bee, orchid. I'll remember you."
29	%%* "It's just [[http://xkcd.com/1262/ something my grandma used to say...]]"
30	%%* [[http://xkcd.com/1454/ "But...I wasn't done..."]]
31	* [[http://xkcd.com/648/ Fall Foliage]] seems fine, until you read the AltText- "And I could replace you with older pictures of you, from back when you looked happy."
32	* [[https://xkcd.com/956/ Sharing]] can be this when you consider that, in ''Literature/TheGivingTree'', the tree's main fear was the boy no longer having use for her, and him abandoning her. Compare this to what Cueball and Megan do when they are unable to access the file, and you'll probably feel at least a little sad.
33	%%* [[https://xkcd.com/2419/ Hug Count]]. Damn COVID.
34	* [[https://xkcd.com/420/ Jealousy]]. Sometimes, the people we hit it off with are not the ones we end up spending our lives with.
