Perhaps “thank god” because she realises she wasn’t pregnant after all, with all the inconvenience that would have implied for the rest of her life. And possibly, “thank god” because losing her guts will make her look somewhat trimmer and less like she is pregnant. Maybe both.
They should change the title of the strip to “Gross and Disgusting”. All too often that’s all it is.
Um. It’s a “Turns out you weren’t pregnant after all” “Oh, Thank God” scenario. But pushed to the most extreme last possible moment.
I think we all can agree, this joke was offal.
After the pain of labor, now she’s moments from the sweet release of death.
Yeah, pretty much has to be “Turns out you weren’t pregnant after all”, implausible as that may be.
@FBS, Please don’t do that, or at least give a warning. “Put down your drink!” Now I need to clean my screen. Again.
Possibly you could argue it was intended as the old “I wouldn’t want to condemn a child to being born into the world we have today” trope, but that’s a huge stretch and I don’t really believe it. “Go for the gross-out,” *that* I can, sadly, believe. Yecch.
She thanks God she isn’t really having a baby, just suffering inexplicable mortal injury.
She doesn’t have the guts to raise a child…
Perhaps all that bile was just her venting her spleen.
She’s happy to discover that she actually felt what was happening, as opposed to a regular labour when it just *feels* like you’re doing that?
On the news (not sure if local or not) a woman was in labor with her 5th child and her husband was driving her to the hospital with the other 4 (young) children in the car. The baby decided that it was not going to wait and she gave birth on her own in the car – in front of the children. The husband was driving and filming the birth (the latter at her request). The children seemed shocked and upset. Jimmy Kimmel has given them a new minivan – which the joke is they need due to the icky mess in the old one. They now have to explain what happened to the children.
I wouldn’t say “shocked” more somewhere between bemused and amused.
