    I've been an internet forum lurker for well on 20-25 years. I see stupid "is this loss" posts every so often. I don't get it and I never will.

      It's for posts that fit the following criteria(parentheses are how it relates to the original comic, cw: it has implications of miscarriage):

      -4 panels

      -first panel has one person(Dude rushing to the hospital)

      -second panel has two people(Dude talking to the nurse)

      -third panel has two people(Dude talking to the doctor)

      -fourth panel has a person standing and a person laying down(dude seeing his wife in the hospital bed)

      You can replace the people with objects or shapes as long as they vaguely resemble a human silhouette.

      It's sort of like a pun with a slightly elaborate setup, except instead of playing with the patterns in words it's playing with patterns in images. Basically, the joke is that it's an elaborate setup for a very stupid payoff.
