Stuffed Friend A dark comic strip that may not be obvious. Triggery. There are two others with the same characters... Read that first. Family Portrait and Clarissa Ruins Thanksgiving

The final comic, well... If none of it was clear by then. This hit me deep and I thought it was worthy of sharing to the mefi community -- definitely discussion-worthy.

Erm I'll just say that the last one was a bit intense for me

Yeah - maybe the mods can remove it?

I saw these yesterday and have been in a bad place ever since.

Seriously, powerful stuff, though I think reading all of them at once dilutes the impact.

This might seem aside the point, but I could have done without the racism in the Family Portrait one.

I just put in a request to remove the third one... I think the first two were "artsy" enough and deal enough of a blow. The third one is too explicit, and a bit amateur in how it deals with the subject...

I don't know if I've been hit that hard with a comic in terms of it's statement. Having been in a relationship with a parter who deals with repercussions of abuse and to see its impact (and the family denialism in the second and third links) I could see so much statement made there...
