Also Mushrooms. Maybe she is the reason of the Mushroom Zombies from the "Last of US". She will become the First one.A.K.B. said:

Nah, she could easily grow enough for personal use. Doesn't take much space at all, and UV lights are easy to find and (relatively) cheap.hentropy said:
I think so, but it might not be; it could be several years after Erin gets fired because her boss is in an extra bitchy mood, or it could just be a parallel dimension. I am willing to bet, however, that it is at least Erin in some shape or form. Whether it's the Critical Miss Erin, I couldn't tell you.SupahGamuh said:

We noticed the symbolism later on, but we chose a Red Panda because of the awful 90s pun we could make. Pretty lucky though, right?Zak757 said:
There's an interesting conversation to be had about the representation of women in fiction and how "gross' they're actually allowed to be before the audience disaproves. It is odd that the go to image for a "slobby" woman is that she eats a lot of ice cream.BX3 said:
They're not the same Erin. Grey explains this in the Patreon video for Erin Dies Alone:NerAnima said:
its an interesting different take, but i admit I myself can not read this much more. I already struggle with depression a lot, and seeing erin like this...I cant really accept or deal all that much. It pisses me off too much. Great quality though. Enjoy for those that dig it.
Oops! It's scribbled out now, see? ...Nobody will ever know.BX3 said:
I understand as i got a few related issues to resolve too. Sometimes humour and laughter can ease things a little. Making light out of a dark part of life, it takes practice but it really can help a shadowed perspective feel less oppressive. I wish you the best either wayDarmy647 said:
Based on my (admittedly sketchy) understanding of mental illness, the fact that she knows she's hallucinating means that the word "crazy" is even less applicable to Erin than to most real-life sufferers.Happyninja42 said:
It was already established in CM that all her medication does is make the hallucinations weirder. And yes that's technically a different character but I'm pretty sure they just have to say that for legal reasons. The way it was presented in the Patreon video, combined with their stated reasons for making this a Patreon-supported comic in the first place, make that pretty clear.Happyninja42 said:
If your crack doesn't burn in a naked flame, you've been sold a lump of quartz. The reason a lot of crack pipes are glass is that it doesn't conduct heat very well and for the crack addict on the go you want a small concealable pipe that isn't going to burn your fingers every time you use it. It's also easier to see inside to scrape out all the residue.Xsjadoblayde said:
PS: Don't do crack.
Sorry no, the fact that she knows they don't exist, doesn't alleviate the fact that she still interacts with them. Knowing you are mentally unstable doesn't suddenly make you stable. By interacting with them, you give them a legitimacy in your head. The fact that she is actually even seeing them means she's got such an extreme level of mental instability as to be troubling. I know this is just how Erin is in the comic, and everyone accepts it, but if we're going to compare her to a real life sufferer, she's still way off her rocker. This is from my 20+ years of living with a schizophrenic in my family.Aiedail256 said:
Which just means she's clearly not taking the right meds. But hey, the artists want her crazy no matter what for comic reasons, fine.Aiedail256 said:
Sorry, I'm probably not very impartial to this strip, as all I see are the exploits of a nutcase girl who is tolerated by those around her, and who are too afraid to actually get her committed like she should be. Considering some of the stuff she's done that is played for laughs, I've witnessed from the real version of something similar, that ended up as anything but funny, I admit I'm biased. But even discounting her mental instability, I don't find her aggressive, beligerent, bitchy attitude all that funny. She's just a ***** that needs to get over herself and stop shitting on all the people who tolerate her as a "friend".
But hey, maybe I just don't find the CM artist's sense of humor all that funny. *shrugs*
I used to think that too because they mention it in movies a lot, but people who hallucinate often know they have a problem and can often tell what's real and what's not. There's obviously the really gone ones that you see on the street or in hospitals, but people with mental disorders aren't dumbasses (usually), so they know that if there's an elephant that only they see, the elephant isn't real.Aiedail256 said:
According to this thread, i am a drug addict. My bong is not even home made, and has a double percolator. Does that make me a double drug addict?
Also, smoking weed does not make you see imaginary cartoon characters. Psylosibin mushrooms do though, maybe she had a shot of lemon tech before brunch.

yea, oddly enough, i'm far less interested in following "her story"/"the comic" now. :/ can't sympathize or empathize with the protagonist now.awesomeClaw said:
