The Optipess
Yup! This comic is indeed “self titled”, in my case kind of like when a band puts out their tenth album and can’t think of a better album title than their band name. (Oh, and speaking of band names, this comic probably came to me as I was listening to The Best Pessimist.)
Also, probably because this comic has a happy ending (if you don’t read the alt text, that is…), I weirdly couldn’t find a single tag that fits it perfectly. There’s not even a single death!
Ha ha! So I just understood now the meaning of your comic name :) Explains a lot!
A “Cautionary tale” of not reading the “About” section on a webcomic. ;)
Runner-up was the person who wrote the contest rules, but they argued that he was merely apathetic, not pessimistic.
This comic should have featured Steve Harvey.
