DAWW ain't that sweet?
This comic is really all over the place isn't it?... do we know what's going on here?
Quexinos - Worse than Hitler
That's a big NO there.do we know what's going on here?
Uh I'm guessing much like the highly popular movie series The Matrix, Dana started writing and forgot to actually come up with any form of coherrant plot to follow.
I don't mind stream of conciousness writing (indeed i'm a huge fan of Hunter S Thompson) but really this is far too much all over the place.
Blarrrgh.

I'll bet that Jeff is trying to claim RD as his. It's the only thing that would make sense.
DCS probably knows the entire story but hasn't written it out. She just seems to write off the top of her head which explains why her storytelling is so inconsistent. O&M is a prime example of this.
The "Vote For RD" sign is probably a reference to something in her past as one of the first strips also had the vote sign in the background when RD was thinking back on her life.
DCS seems to trying to copy those who feel that telling a a story in chronological order is boring. Not a problem but in order to do that, you have to map out the entire story and make sure your audience can follow it without question. Look at Pulp Fiction as a prime example of how to do this type of storytelling correctly (IMHO).
Anyway, I still feel that this story will read much better in book form. I could be wrong. I hope I'm not though. I WANT to like RD, I really do. It's just so...frustrating.

Hell, it should have a random strip *generator*, like Garkov -- the resulting strips would probably make as much sense.
