oh the mother knows not the situation but the fact he's not eating

Berry

Aw man she's worried:(

Joselyn Rivera

Mom's worried. She suspects. Oh he gonna pass out I just know it...!

Zambies

Mamas it’s time to go part time or divorce your husband (omg lowkey wonder if his dad is a cheater)

Relathain

Haley, you might be one of the last few people left who can help him. If your mother is showing worry about Michael, that should be a sign something is clearly going on.

2026-09-06 03:00 Commentors praying that Haley will be the one to break Mike out his slump have really wishful thinking. I initially thought that she was going to be the one to reach out and give him support, but recent developments of her essentially playing the babysitter for her OLDER brother means she most likely holds a lot of (justified) resentment towards him. Trust me, if he starts moaning to her about his self-inflicted problems, she's NOT going to be in the mood to placate him.

Haley: “Oh sweet, more pocket cash.” Why would she care to check in?

Antares

Oh Ellen... she's got too many plates to spin with so little support from her partner it's heartbreaking. I doubt Haley's going to love having to watch after both her brothers, poor girl, and Mike's really putting himself through the ringer. This whole family is pulling my heartstrings! We need a Chris focused chapter as a palate cleanser please!!

SomeColourMage

sorry, there was an unexpected change in which baby you need to babysit

Frith

get them started on dissosciating young!

Antares

His dad being a cheater is something that crossed my mind a while back, and while we don't really have any proof, can you imagine how awful it would be if both Mike's relationship and his family fell apart because someone was cheating 🙃

Ellen getting a solid C in parenting

Metal Raven

Nice to see Chris, the true hero of this comic

Red Miso

Gosh chris is growing up so fast he was just a baby a few years ago

Addystar

I don’t think Haley is justified in resenting her brother just because she has to babysit sometimes. If my sibling was going through a hard time I would hell them, regardless of whether I thought their problem was self-inflicted or not

Jorpando

Pretty sure his last conversation with Augustus thoroughly beat any sort of moaning out of Mike. Also, he's starving himself and self-isolating. Considering those aren't very far away from self-harm, I don't think anybody should care about whether or not his problems are "self-inflicted".

Crossbreeze

Haley you got this, please help Mike

SCD

Haley: Give me ten bucks, and I'll make sure he eats lunch. Mike's Mom: >:( Haley: :)

Kauphy

Meanwhile Haley has to make her own breakfast, parent Chris, manage her own life, now she’s responsible for Michael?

Kirk Findlay

She knows he isn't eating, and that it likely means worse things are going on.
