    Comics don’t have to have a joke, they can just tell a story. This is a nice story of two people who care for and support each other in spite of discovering their selves and life goals don’t sync with continuing the original relationship. They manage to break up the romance with each feeling freed rather than dumped, so they can continue to be friends. Hopefully their eventual new partners will appreciate this.

      The artist / writer literally mentions their joke in the bonus panel and they’d “die if they stopped being funny”.

      The funny part is supposed to be: my wife is single.
