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

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.

[-] ech@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

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.

[-] zepheriths@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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

[-] TheColonel@reddthat.com 9 points 1 year ago

This is absolutely stunning.

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

My god, this comic is heartbreakingly beautiful

[-] Spookygoose@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Thanks. I really enjoyed this

Thank you Laika! Your service is greatly appreciated!

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

This is beautiful.

There are plenty of legends of human church grims
