I don't get it. Is this supposed to be funny? Or sad? I did read Journal part 1, but I don't understand how this is powerful. Can someone explain it to a noob like me please?

I've read all the XKCD comics, and it's not that evocative to me either.

For some reason, I strongly empathized with the character in the hat. Yes, he's a jerk, and this was a poetic justice for him, but if it wasn't for his jerky behavior, he would never have met this girl, and now, the one person who could ever have understood him has walked away because she understands him so well, dooming him to forever live either alone or with a partner who doesn't get who he really his.
