YMMV / He Is a Good Boy

• Heartwarming Moments: Crange's admission that he does return Emerson's feelings, even if he isn't good at expressing it. Crosses over into Tearjerker territory considering it's the last time they ever see each other (at least, these iterations of each other).
  • The last few pages before the ending are oddly moving, as Crange is flung through space and finally finds a moment's peace. After an entire webcomic's worth of pain and fear, it's nice to see something go right for him.
• Jerkass Woobie: Crange. He's a selfish dick more often than not, but he did lose his home and what would be considered his family after the tree's death, and suffered from depression even prior to that. "Crange Can't Go Home" in particular highlights this.
• Nausea Fuel: "Crange Gets Sick". Just. "Crange Gets Sick."
• Nightmare Fuel: Plenty, despite the cartoony nature of the comic.
  • Crange's problems with his self loathing reach new heights in the end of "Crange Is Stuck In A Room" when he pushes another version of himself to their death to save himself specifically. He was, in his own words, unnervingly okay with that despite showing clear reluctance to kill someone over the entire span of the comic, and the idea that he hadn't thought twice about killing himself so long as he didn't feel the pain of it is something that scars him deeply.
• Tear Jerker:
  • Crange confronts the lumberjack. When he first realizes who it is, the look on Crange's face isn't the usual sort of terror he's displayed in the face of grotesque murders of complete strangers he's seen already. Every ounce of that same sobering trauma over being coated in his tree's gore comes rushing back to him, and he's left a distraught, shouting mess over the fact that the lumberjack doesn't even seem to care at first.
  • Toward the end of the comic, Emerson confesses to our Crange that they fell in love with the Crange from their spiral before he died and they got reassigned. After spending much of the story leaving it ambiguous, it’s both heartwarming and heartbreaking to see the two of them finally admit that there was something there, even if it ultimately ends up never happening due to the circumstances. Crange choosing to forgive them for the Wristchapel screwing the two of them over seals it as one of the most bittersweet moments of the whole story.
