I showed my brother the comic, and he said I completely missed the point of it. I couldn’t figure out the ending past the part “she got to do what she wanted”, so for me, the panel ended at that point, and hence, the comic to me meant being happy is doing what you want to do.

He explained that the comic is based on irony – the final two frames exist because the mother was explaining the case had she not been pregnant, what her life really would have been like.

We It totally makes sense that this is what the comic is really about now that he’s pointed it out – a mother’s dream shattered by the birth of her kid.

We laughed about this and discussed why I might have percieved it that way. We agreed that a lot of it is because I mainly lack common sense and part of it is I’m naive in a sense. Another part is, I turned the comic into something that was meaningful in my own reality, or that it’s just I have a unique, and uncommon perspective when it comes to my senses (which I can agree on). Or, like how others won’t be able to see the ending I saw, it also means that I won’t be able to see a common perspective.

We then discussed about the comic with relation to him – he told me that he’s happy but not fulfilled, and that might be a reason why he was able to see the actual intent of the comic, which is what the large majority of readers would have seen.

From just that comic alone, we spent over two hours discussing what it means to us to be fulfilled – to me it was really doing what I want to do, and that fulfillment is easy for me because what I want to do constantly changes, and I always seem to have a concrete plan on how to do it. For him, he wants to just do one thing – live in Thailand and become a foreign language teacher. However, it’s not so easy because he talks about the issues with getting paid too little to do what you love, and he’s still trying to find the answer to obtaining the appropriate balance.

Just to note, we rarely talk, or have moments to talk. I want to say that I’m happy this comic existed because I was able to have that conversation with him.

Alternative answer:
I thought about this more, and while talking to my friend about it, I realized why I couldn’t understand the final two panels. My brother was talking to me about why I didn’t have or want a girlfriend, and I explained my reasons, that I felt I wouldn’t be as happy as I am doing the things I wanted to do. That’s when I showed him the comic, because I felt that was what best represented what made me happy, and that’s when he said I had the intent of the comic all wrong.

If I went by my brother’s “I saw it in my own reality” explanation, this makes the most sense; I generally do not see myself in the final two panels where I might have a kid or a significant other, and that’s when he laughed and said, “I guess I’ll be the one having the kids then.”
