A girlfriend got me into CAD a few weeks ago, and I read the entire thing in one night–including the miscarriage arc. I loved it, mostly because I'd just been through one myself, and I got the release from that story arc that I'd yet to find anywhere else.
That being said, I laughed so hard just now reading this comic. Good job, Joel. I know not everyone shares my sense of humor, but there's too much messed up crap going on in the world today to get upset over what was clearly meant to be a funny parody. Thank you! ^.^

Hmmm, looks like Intensedebate isn't a fan of people posting links when they're not logged in. Anyway, here's the relevant CAD comic, assuming logged-in people are allowed to post links: http://ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php?d=20080602

Never mind, somebody else asked the same question somewhere else and I got:

I don't read that comic either, so I checked out several comics before and after to get some context. Can't see how this is at all funny.

Of course, I never understood how "You like me, you really like me." became such a laugh riot. Apparently most people have no ability to process real tragedy or true feelings.

Somebody do me a favor and point me to the CAD comic this is a parody of? I did a quick look down all the responses here and didn’t see one, sorry if I missed it.

This is one of the first comics I didn't laugh at in any way shape or form.

You make it sound like Joel parodied "Penny Arcade".

Too true. 4Chan is to Internet Humour as Gay Men are to Fashion: they're dictating what will be the mainstream a year down the track.

I would just say that I don´t really enjoyed this comic. As a foreigner I´m a little bit oblivious to all the controversy that generates in cons or in forums about webcomics. A lot of people seems to take for granted that we all know what´s going on under the ropes in the internet and ´till now I had no idea of any of this. I do enjoy HE and CAD, each one for different reasons. This thing is pretty old and had little to do with anything nowadays, and that´s why I don´t think is funny – otherwise it would be rather funny see eli suffering

Anyway, great job Joel. we appreciate the effort.
