Description

The comic consists of three panels with a narrative showing events that occurred in the past. The panels are labeled with timestamps indicating how long ago each event happened.

Panel 1 (5 seconds ago):

• The character is holding a card. The text on the card reads: "SORRY! THIS WAS THE ONLY TYPE OF CARD THEY HAD LEFT.
  ANYWAY, HAPPY 30TH!
  love,"

Panel 2 (10 seconds ago):

• The character has a worried expression, with their eyes wide and mouth slightly open, indicating concern.

Panel 3 (15 seconds ago):

• The character is holding a book and the text on the cover reads: "YOUR WIFE IS DEAD."

This comic juxtaposes a seemingly light-hearted message with a shocking and grave announcement, creating a darkly humorous tone.
