About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

I even checked their website if this one's missing some other comic for context that needs to be read with this one, but that doesn't seem to be the case either. Don't get it.
I’ll take a stab at this. The guy has clearly been grievously injured to the point where he’s “lucky to be alive”. The dude is lying there with a breathing tube, probably in horrible pain and everyone around him is saying how “lucky” he is. He probably doesn’t feel very lucky! ;)
That comic doesn't communicate that well, to the point where I thought that would have been the message but still checked the website because I thought that couldn't be it. The eyes aren't drawn in a way that would imply blindness. He won't be able to "talk for a while", implying that'll be fine again. He has all his limbs. Breathing tube, yeah, but that alone really doesn't illustrate injuries to the degree of wanting to be dead - I've seen people with similar devices that essentially help them sleep.
If your explanation is correct, the comic doesn't really do its job of communicating it, so any other explanation would be just as likely.
I agree there’s nothing there indicating that he wants to be dead. It’s just people keep telling him he’s lucky. If he was really lucky he wouldn’t be hurt at all.
Ding ding ding.
