Is this before or after the comic where he defeated birth control to impregnate his wife without her consent?

MODERATORS
I'm /really/ gonna need a source for that
I decided to look into some context for this comic. It was published September 21st, 2013. The artist later added this text to the post:
WARNING! THE FOLLOWING COMIC IS INSENSITIVE AND CAN BE VERY UPSETTING.
HEY EVERYONE,
IN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE RECEIVED A LOT OF UPSET EMAILS ABOUT THIS COMIC. I HAVE BEEN VERY CONFLICTED ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH IT. THE COMIC WAS MADE DURING A TIME WHEN I MYSELF WAS DEALING WITH MY OWN ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, AND TRAUMA FROM PAST ABUSE. HUMOUR AND CYNICISM BEING ONE OF THE ONLY STRATEGIES I KNEW HOW TO DEAL WITH SUCH THINGS. MANY OF THESE OLDER COMICS YOU WILL NOTICE HAVE A DARKER AND MEANER EDGE.
TIME HAS CHANGED THE COMIC AND ME. I'M STILL IMPERFECT AND I MAKE MISTAKES, BUT I AM WAY MORE EMPATHETIC AND KIND THAN I USED TO BE AND THAT IS REFLECTIVE IN THE COMIC NOW. THIS COMIC WHEN PLACED AGAINST MY CURRENT WORK IS VERY SHOCKING AND HURTFUL TO A LOT OF YOU AND I AM SORRY FOR THE PAIN THAT IT CAUSES. I WOULD NOT MAKE THIS KIND OF JOKE NOW, BUT IT IS PART OF THE ARC OF MY STORY. I AM LEAVING IT UP BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN BEING HONEST AND BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR OUR MISTAKES. IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO HAVE HARD CONVERSATIONS WHICH ARE WHAT ULTIMATELY LEAD TO GROWTH.
I AM TRULY SORRY FOR THE HURT THIS COMIC CAUSES ANYONE. I NEVER THOUGHT AS A YOUNGER PERSON THAT A JOKE INVOLVING POKING A HOLE IN A CONDOM WITH A STAR WARS TOY WAS ASSUALT OR RAPE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE ABUSE I SUFFERED SEEMED SO MUCH WORSE. I KNOW BETTER KNOW AND I AM SORRY.
I AM OPEN TO CONTINUING THIS CONVERSATION IF YOU WOULD LIKE or IF YOU JUST WANT TO VENT OR BE ANGRY WITH ME, THAT IS OK AS WELL. I WILL BE THERE TO LISTEN. HERE IS MY EMAIL: lunarbabooncomics@gmail.com
All the best,
CHRIS
So here's my take: This comic is almost ten years old. The artist has already realized it was a mistake and apologized for it. Maybe OP wasn't aware, as I was not, but now we both are, so let's not stir shit any further.

WTF.
...
What the actual fuck. Christ.
Edit: someone shared a post where the creator was like, "My bad, that's fucked up", and that's good enough for me.
Fixed it. Wasn't even hard. It's not funny, but the original wasn't either, so...
large red flag
It’s fine if his name is Scott
Dude, that's Steve.
