Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

There’s no indication that’s the case. I think you need to touch grass.
There's no indication where she went, so it's reaally completely up to the reader to decide where she goes in their interpretation.
You can extrapolate likely scenarios based on what's going on in the first panel. It's extremely unlikely that she would do that while carrying a baby in the time it takes him to answer a question.
But again, it is actually completely untold by the artist, so people can construct whatever the hell they like with it...The artist holds no right or control to what people get from their works, if this persons makes the construct that she's under the table in the last panel, then that's no less correct than what you might get from it, regardless of the obvious inferences you mention.
Sure, you can say whatever you want happened, like she turned into a dragon. But this is an established world in a comic with established characters, which means there are things that are likely or not likely to happen. And of course there's the added ick factor of pointlessly sexualizing one of the characters.
I agree it's weird and out of place, but it's also harmless so who cares what that person gets from it.
