Tip: If someone shouts "Heads up!" don't actually raise your head up. Cover it with your arms and duck.

That was a very good piece of fiction.

Don't be a douche, it wasn't fiction. Well, I suppose it could be, but why assume that people are liars?  People die and he expressed himself as best as he could as a comic artist.

Assuming it is fiction does not assume that people are liars. It was a story, and I scincerely took it as a fictional example of a life narrated, with a message about family relationships.
Just because you dislike something you doesn't mean that you should insult it.

I could say the same to you in other arguments. This is a self-biographical piece, just as it would be if it were art or music, I suppose because the medium is a "comic" then it's fictional.

This saddened me.

They're pretty to look at. They're versatile. You can honk them. You can slap them. You can stick your willy in between them. You can bury your head in them. They produce milk, ideal for a post-coital drink. When accompanied with clothes you can stick a pen or other bric-a-brac between them for storage purposes. They're hypnotic. When in the middle of sexytime and they're shaking and bouncing all over the shop, like some sort of beautiful milky ocean or two boob-shaped aeroplanes experiencing major turbulance.

Art and music can tell fictional stories too, they may not be auto-biographical, just as I may assume it to be so, as I know nothing about the author. I also genuinely only read the main comic panels as (and I admit this is due to my own failing) it being a comic, i genuinely don't read the header. I sincerely thought it was fictional biography, in order to enhance the fiction. I've already conceded failure in not realising that it's an auto-biography and personal opinion that it could be fiction adressing the public that way.
I did not come here to argue semantics and pragmatics.
I merely stand by my point that it being fictional and biographical, does not make a person a liar. No more than "this film is based on real events". and is just a medium to enhance it.

Very moving.

O, here
Will I set up my everlasting rest,
And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars
From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last!
Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you
The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
A dateless bargain to engrossing death!
