This might be the saddest xkcd so far.

I can't think of any other ones that are sad. Maybe I missed them?

The ones about cancer were pretty sad, but some were hopeful too.

I went back and reread xkcd somewhat recently, and seeing each of the cancer ones, and how the panels were added as they kept living...

Ugh, I teared up just typing that. Christ.
