It is nihilist, but while "We're all going to die" is maybe a little depressing, it's also undeniably true. Sometimes we need memento mori in our lives to get us up off the couch and doing.
It's the "We're all going to die. Suicide just makes it happen faster" strips that strike me, as, well, really a little unhealthy? Not so much on an individual level, but the sheer cumulative weight of so many strips about suicide. Like, if one of my friends started writing that much suicide poetry, even if she was also writing lots of other stuff, I would be concerned about her.
