Episode End (But Not Storyline End)
I was basically Susan in this storyline, as I've probably commented on before?
Point is, I was simultaneously "gatekeeping BULLCARP", and "I find it so weird that these people who are told they're terrible every other e...

Yeah, They're Fans, I GUESS
One of the reasons I wanted to do this storyline was because I hate the whole gatekeeping "real fan" thing, but I've also felt that "THE THING I LIKE IS UNDER ATTACK!" feeling, and that "but that person is so contrary to every moral ...

All this was supposed to be was "experimenting beefier-than-Elliot Tedd who's not any taller than normal".
In fact, I chose it because I figured "one person? Easy!"
But then I thought about it, and realized Tedd's height, which was specified as part of a poll, wouldn't be clear without someone to compare it to. I decided to add Grace, who wouldn't be big on the whole "extra-be...

What a fan needs
There is a point to be made about how they just tacked on their own little subjective house rule to the definition as read.

EDIT: The definition of "devotee" is a bit off, given that she means a person who has those traits. Panel space is limited, however, and I hope it works in context.

Whoops we skipped a step
For this to make any sense, there has to be an accepted distinction between a "fan" and a "true fan", "real fan", etc. Otherwise, they've already acknowledged they don't know what a "fan" is.
My hope is that the last panel addresses...

You know, I'm not actually sure what anime I'd use as an example. I was GOING to say Fairy Tail, but then I started listing the things I liked about it, and the list was FAR too long to credibly say "I just like how some of the characters look".
I guess I'm not as superficial about Fairy Tail as I thought. Huh.
Lists are helpful! 2021-10-28 03:58:25 +0000 UTC View Post
Who would even?
Before anyone materializes to nitpick, I'm sure there are people who can find a way to profit off of oil spills. Such would not occur to Elliot, however, SO THERE.
Also, limited panel space to make a joke about it.

No, Really, We're Not Sure.
I do not believe this comic NEEDS a punchline. Elliot provided a bit of fun as-is before the third panel.
The reason there isn't one, however, is because I wrote WAY too much for this comic (past me, what were you doing?!), and w...
