Tuesday, February 26, 2008: Involuntary sympathy

Now's her chance to seize the approval from the 'cool' kids she secretly craves! Or freak them out, it's all good.

I guess feeling sympathy even for those you don't like is only...er, human.

I dunno why Millie would feel any sympathy toward her enemy. I sure don't.

Well, sometimes it happens...

Speaking of Enemies, I wonder if Jeremy went back to being a jerk.

Well I can't say this doesn't surprise me. I was just waiting for the storyline of Felicia's decline in coolness. As for feeling sympathy towards one's enemies well...I've actually done that before. I'm just incapable of holding a grudge. I'm too much a compassionate person. Doesn't mean I don't get ticked off now again. It'll be interesting to see how Millie handles this.

I've felt sorry for people who got what I believed they deserved, but not this time. I'm wondering if Millie means empathy rather than sympathy.

Dang, but it's hard for me to hate the kids in this comic. Even in their snottiness, the cat and squirrel look pretty cute.

Anyways I say if somebody is activly choosing to be unpopular then theres no reason to feel sorry for them for being unpopular.

I suspect that D.C's break to focus on writing is going to show ripe and delicious fruit with this story.

Oh boy. This is gonna get interesting. Felicia's popularity starts down the drain. This is gonna be like watching a train wreck or something. I bet Felicia either A. sticks to the goth thing and possibly be a bit nicer or B. Cast off the goth thing and return to her old ways.

The only concern I has is that Felicia will end up learning nothing and all that this will accomplish is her dropping the goth act. Then it'll be back to the usual. Let's wait and see.

Y'know, ever since Felicia's interaction with Avery at the museum, her initial and apparantly still ongoing Goth phase, and now this... I do believe, somehow, she's turned into the most interesting character in the strip. I really mean that, and yeah, it kinda freaks me out too. Notice I didn't say my favorite, or most likeable - but with all the character development she's gone through, very definatly the most interesting.

Thats probably because she is the only character to get any development. Its like winning a footrace against people without feet.
