I don't really know where else to ask, so I'd see if anyone else here remembers this. It was pretty old and floating around on the Internet probably as far back as 02-04. It features a straight edge guy at different ages doing different things, and in the last panel, he is 21 and passed out drunk at a bar.

Thanks.

Been re-reading the strip...

Just like most enthusiasts for the more generic punks genres in the 90s and early millennium, the writer of that comic doesn't really know anything about emo or much post-hardcore. He has an emo kid character that he makes fun of, but you know, it's not really very characteristic aside from the typical crybaby part. I guess that's just the way it is though. Punks generally think that emo bands never write about anything except their girlfriends, which as common as it is, it's like... fuck... No.
