Gob, I’m really sad to see It Hurts!! coming to an end but at the same time we’ve seen your talent grow over the years. The past few chapters have really been quite beautiful, thank you for sharing.
Gob how are you gonna have time to make this more off-the-rails than Murasakiiro no Qualia? The off-the-railsness is pretty good but not quite there yet and there are only like 1 or 2 chapters to go.
When the biggest asshole in the universe ushers you to follow the advice of the guy who purposefully created him you should probably consider the possibility of a catch.
I feel like her hair disappeared from the bow because a Hellfire Spout finally got Ally. Makes me wonder if she won’t talk because Pasq is crazy enough tofight with her, or because he has trouble remembering the voice of a non-existent girl who used to own that bow, or because he somehow could replicate her voice millennia ago but now that she’s gone there’s no original to be replicated.
Just curious, but did Pasqualo just modify himself over time using all his engineering and physics knowledge for convenience (ie. the Ally speaker he had on his wrist)? Or did his body just slowly change on its own?
Oh yeah, and did he actually get the Ally speaker to actually sound like Ally, or did it always sound like Pasqualo doing an impression?
So how long do you suppose Pasqualo’s remaining friends lasted before they were purged from existence by gouts of supernatural fire? He would have been the only one remembered, in the end.
The final comic is a 1-page, 3-panel strip where he finds the void at the end of the universe, asks it to reset everything, and it says ‘no’ wbile flipping him off. End of series.
Y’know, after seeing these last few pages I had to go back to the very beginning and read it all over again. It wasn’t as funny the second time. Instead it was a LOT more insightful and, unless I’m thinking about it too much, has a much deeper meaning than I realized. It’s given me a lot to think about and I can’t wait for the last update. You’ve written a fantastic sorry Gobotron.
Am I crazy, or is anyone else seeing something in the background of the “and again” panels?
Yeah, there is a giant distorted laughing face on the background. The background of the three panels create the face.
Why do I ever expect it to not hurt? It always hurts.

Also the last panel of the second page is dank.
Thank you!!

It hurts seeing this beautiful comic come to an end. I’m so excited at the same. I’m conflicted.
Well we’ve gone full “Blame!”
Important lessons: When someone tells you you need to go to the end of the universe, your first question should invariably be “which end?”
Maybe he should ask the goofy nebulous face in the distance for directions.
This comic has constantly surprised me. I can’t wait for the ending, I’m sure it’ll be a complete shock.
Also, the principal never came back. lol kinda sucks
When the biggest asshole in the universe ushers you to follow the advice of the guy who purposefully created him you should probably consider the possibility of a catch.
To see Pasqualo turned into this after a MILLION years is actually really disturbing. Some grade-A body horror there, almost. Good job Gobby.
Oh god.
Think of all the frequent flier miles he’s saved up.
Jesus, all that time with nothing but your own stupid life story. This is unsettling.
What’s with the creepy face in panels 10-12? It looks kind of like Pasqualo…
So one last page to go, right? My body, and Pasqualo’s, is ready.
That “She Won’t Talk” panel is the saddest shit ever. It feels like even his mind has abandoned him after all this time.

Good lord, Gob. What have you done to him?
Kinda reminds me of ‘Long Dream’ by Junji Ito.
(Also, is that the ending of ‘Dolores, i’ I see?)
And then, at the end of the universe?
The force of all nature.
The spiral power.
This.

1mil years of nothing. Is Pasqualo just living in No Man’s Sky right now?
The most horrifying thing is that, assuming he’s either sublight or nearlight speed, he still has billions of years to go.
Knowing what I do of cosmology, I have a feeling that the End of the Universe isn’t so much a “where” as it is a “when.”
you either die a hero or you live long enough to become a giant fleshlight
Holy shit
Fade to black. Even Gob can’t beat that ending.
Fly away, my space rocket…
even the tags are lonely
One more comic and this crazy trip will be all over. Wow. Really looking forward to seeing how this concludes

“31%”
holy shit, this really does hurt after all ;(
You’re tellin’ me, kiddo.
So how long do you suppose Pasqualo’s remaining friends lasted before they were purged from existence by gouts of supernatural fire? He would have been the only one remembered, in the end.
>Final Comic
Oh god no, please don’t end
Binged this all in one night after somebody posted the first few pages on /v/. Happy to be just in time to get excited for the final update.
Thank you for reading! Please say hi to /v/ for me if IT HURTS pops up there again! 😀
I’m calling it before all you motherfuckers;
The final comic is a 1-page, 3-panel strip where he finds the void at the end of the universe, asks it to reset everything, and it says ‘no’ wbile flipping him off. End of series.
Wait when you say final comic progress… Do you mean the next comic is the end?!
Yessir.
I’m gonna cry :'( was not aware the end was so close. Man was this comic incredible.
60%. I appreciated the progress update, since it saves me from checking multiple times a day, but at the same time….It Hurts!
it hurts

fucking *STORY
Thank you so very much. I hope you like the last one when I put it up!
Is there any meaning to the face on the background of those three panels?
yeh
