Call Me Ishmael

...Hum ...I don't seem to see a joke. She's a *****, I guess? Is that funny? She's a persistent *****? Erin is acting oblivious? She shouted "fat" out a window and that's not what people usually do? Nope, don't get it.

OMG Sharon is Glados

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

There's a girl who does this to me.

The rest of my family act like I'm a ***** for avoiding her like the plague. I do not understand why.

is the title an intentional reference to the freeman's mind episode where he kills the alien shark?

The_root_of_all_evil and Somebloke have already said it, but it's almost certainly a Moby Dick reference instead. Witness the peril of a small reference pool [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SmallReferencePools].

I think Freeman's mind is already referencing something else...

is the title an intentional reference to the freeman's mind episode where he kills the alien shark?

...which itself is a reference to Moby Dick.

I suppose there is meant to be a likening to the size of certain aquatic mammals there... :7

EDIT: I guess Erin is just too big a girl to bite. ;PP

wow, you guys are pros at missing the point. at the time of writing the comment that triggered said responses, i was aware of the literary allusion to moby dick that freeman's mind made, and I was curious if the title of the comic was alluding to that episode, something else, or ignoring that episode and possibly others and simply going after the original work itself.

Maybe they are also concerned for your weight and are thankful someone is impolite enough to voice it.

Gee Thanks... way to get in on the Sharon action >_>

But really I'm not THAT fat and I'm sure if my family was concerned they would tell me themselves.

You probably aren't. I have no idea; only thought it fitted with an avatar holding a food basket.

 

[Warachia]

Either I missed the joke, or there wasn't one.

Haha

These cookies are for my grandma I swear! :3

 

[USSR]

Oh come on, Erin's not that bad. She's tons of fun!

Spilled my cereal laughing at that..

 

[TsunamiWombat]

Don't feel bad Erin, it just means more cushion for the pushin.

 

[RJ 17]

Yeah, Erin's doing pretty much what you're supposed to do when someone is just overtly trying to be an unprovoked douche.

 

[Will The Thrill]

...Shes left handed!

I'm most certainly not a member of the wealthy in this country, but the occupy movement and all the garbage and trash surrounding it most certainly DO NOT represent me. It pushes buttons in me everytime I see anything thats not calling it for what it is... garbage.
