If I remember correctly, before her flight, one of the scientists took Laika home and let her play with his children. To give her a sense of a normal life, as she was just a stray dog they had found.

It sounds cruel, but that's how the Soviets treated their cosmonauts and ground personnel too. As expendable.

Thanks, I love that sort of dark kindness (or kind darkness) and ~~you have~~ the artist has a great style.

Edited after OP pointed out it's not OC.

[–] Crul@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is not OC, sorry for the confusion.

I added [Not OC] to the title, I usually do it when the sub in where I’m posting are mostly OCs posts. I thought it was implied here.

[–] r0m2@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Don't be sorry. I assumed it was OC but did not really make any effort to check.

it feels touching in a unique way.

My two brains are warring. "Technically Laika didn't..."

"Shut the hell up it's a beautiful sentiment"

[–] mythosync@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Wow. I rarely comment on things, but this comic is stunning. Thanks for sharing!

In case anyone's wondering, no, Cosmo is not Laika. Laika actually looked like this:

TIP: You can embed images with this format:

![](image_URL)

[–] dukk@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Double tip: add a caption to your image like this: ![caption](image url)

No thanks, easier to click and the visible URL is handy on mobile.

Could you not though? Images taking up most of my screen real estate isn't exactly enjoyable.

[–] Crul@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One solution would be to wrap embedded images with spoilers:

see image

[–] ech@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

That would be preferred, personally. Or a setting on Lemmy to automatically collapse the images. This was a setting on RES for Reddit, but it's probably not a pressing issue for the Lemmy devs right now.

Normally I would correct something like this, but I'll let it go just this once

[–] tintory@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

My god, this comic is heartbreakingly beautiful

[–] TheColonel@reddthat.com 8 points 1 year ago

This is absolutely stunning.

[–] Spookygoose@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Thanks. I really enjoyed this

Thank you Laika! Your service is greatly appreciated!

There are plenty of legends of human church grims

[–] BurnedDonutHole@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

This is beautiful.
