And that's exactly how depression looks

Grace Kieser

Sometimes, deep psychological trauma is best treated with the absurd

Poor Roko :(

It's Memento, but starring Melon instead of Guy Pierce. Melmento. Melonmento. Memelon?

Kyle Major

Made her laugh thats a great start :)

Mordaeus

This is so sweet and I love it

JD

I'm surprised that Melon knows her left from her right.

This strip is a masterclass in perfect comedy timing.

In the Navy, we called it "Taiwanon". So I first read the last panel as: "Roko we have to go to Taiwanon"

This is unbelievably cute.

During one of my deepest bouts of depression, I found myself essentially disassociated. I couldn't move, and I couldn't speak. My then-pa spent 20 or 30 minutes trying to find a way to reach me, and I just couldn't reach back out. Then she put a pair of my boxer shorts on my head. I chuckled, then laughed, and it was enough to get me out of that loop, at least for a little while. I'm glad to I know that, at least on some level, I share that kind of experience with others.

Aww Melon is helping! <3

Notice the BodyHub cactus on the table?

Wouldn’t be a bad idea to go elsewhere for a while. I’m acquainted with a woman whom lost her husband to cancer and decided to just move to South Korea at the beginning of this year. I could see how Roko could have as close to an AI experience death and every depression that comes with survival. Travel can be very good medicine.

Does this ordeal count as an out of body experience?

Vanestus

Good work Melon, you got her to *snrk*.

Celine Chamberlin

I have a friend who lives in Taiwan, I bet she'd let them stay for a bit. They like dogs, right? Because my friend has approximately all the dogs.

The socially appropriate greeting here would be all the hugs.

Bagge

I can't believe that worked!

Katrina Urmson

Melon’s hair sproing in panel 4. ❤️

Denise Webber

Oh Roko 😕 oh Melon 🤗 girl you trying, and that's good. Never give up trying, even if Roko tells you to go away. Go away and then come back. You just gotta keep on coming back. I ♥️ 🍈 ♥️♥️

Stoodmuffin

Melon is sweet, like her name sake. I hope they both will be alright. I hope they ALL will be.

Paxxie

Hannelore - we need you!

Dean Reilly

Melon would probably get along pretty well with a depressed nuclear reactor, just saying.

Any minute now in comes Elliot with the basket of fresh bread. Aaany minute... Although it may lead to some typical Elliot complications: "Wow, how did you manage to make the dough so light?" "My secret is that I'm really good with kneading it. One second it's a nice round blob, and next - wham! - it's flat and thin like a wafer".

DSri Seah

woot! Taiwan represent!

Diana

🍈🦶🇹🇼😂

Thomas Boys

Yay! Melon is being toetally helpful!

THANK YOU for Roko's *snrk*. I was dreading this plotline as I saw it coming. Extremely relatable, and happy to have confirmation that silly shit can still cause momentary positive reactions.

My office-mate knows how to do this for me... He makes fart noises til I laugh.

1. This is why they made Lemon a counselor. The combination of complete good will and complete goofiness will get through when almost nothing else will. 2. A theory: At some point, Jeph began unconsciously basing most new characters on dogs he meets while walking his dog. This now accounts for a large part of the strip's appeal.

Melonmentos & Coke?? that's the recipe for the volcano ...

Joe

where's Hanners?? I hear she knows space stations & orbital bombardment platforms & such like.
