Those who know me well enough should be utterly unsurprised at my enjoyment of the webcomic Something Positive - especially the one who said that the reason I have such trouble with
Rule #4 is because my standards are so high that nobody is able to meet them. I've even been compard to Davan in what my wonderfully-selective memory convinces me was a good way. I loves me some schaudenfreude, yes sir.
Aside from the whole "mockery of the stupid" thing, though, one of the reasons I respect Randy Millholland so much is that he's such a damn good writer. He can go from an extended storyline where somebody winds up paying the price for her own stupidity and self-absorption, to a single comic that will rip your heart straight out of your chest.
This one has had me fighting back tears for the last half-hour or so.
When I grow up, I hope I can write half so well.
