Complex Superiority

[FFP2]

Is Erin like a real person? Or is she just a character?

 

[Micah Jones]

I love these one of off comcis. They're pretty funny, but what happened to the story arc we were going through, with the video game characters and all that. They just all... Disappeared. I mean, they aren't even in the background of these more "normal" episodes. I guess it really isn't a bad thing, but I feel like nothing got resolved. She just... Stopped.

 

[Mike Fang]

Oh whoop de do, so this nonsensical video game humor strip is once again trying to go for a realistic, serious plot arc.

Alright people, which one of you bumped the writers' "M*A*S*H" switch?

 

[Ishal]

I don't have a superiority complex, everyone else has an inferiority complex.

True story.

Is- Is that an Outlaw Star reference above your avatar?

 

[Darth_Payn]

for some reason i keep readin the laast panel as if erin has a gravely batman voice.

Don't you read everything with a gravely Batman voice?

I can't imagine anyone not doing that. You all just read this in the Bat-voice now, didn't you?

What?

No, of course it isn't, what makes you think that?

Explanation? How bout this?

Best thing about that show? It was only like 10 episodes. More anime should learn its lesson in brevity. Looking at you Naruto/Bleach and all others like them.

10? Outlaw Star was 25 episodes long

Just a character. If anything, she could be loosely based on Cody and Grey's views on video games and day-to-day shit. She's mainly completely fictional, though.

Are you having a stroke?

Well shit, guess it was. Wiki does say 25-26. Goes to show how long its been since I've seen it. I need watch that again.

Still in 25 episodes it accomplishes more than others can do with 200

Curious question, really, it has no "right answer". If Erin claims that her complex is more than her friend's, she reveals an inability to accept being "lesser", even if in doing so she belittles herself. If, on the other hand, Erin agrees and states that her friend's complex is worse than hers, she reveals her equal inability to accept inferiority by claiming a (known undeserved) superior station.

Clever girl...

which, incidentally, is the only correct response to that statement (in the correct voice and tone, so as to convey the Jurassic Park reference)... followed by either a blank stare until she tries to argue the point, which is then ignored or dismissed, or a rapid subject change, ideally something about food, or...

Captcha: cats pajamas

...cute animals. Well said, Captcha!


Psychology!

This isn't the complex Erin needs, but it's the complex she deserves.

Does this mark a return to story comics?

Thanks for clearing that up

OT: This feels a lot different from last week's strip. Not saying that it's a bad thing though.

 

[Godhead]

Well, at least she isn't telling people to thank god for her.
So it's not that bad yet.

How dare you insult our based god #GOAT #somethingstupid #I'mnotevenontwitter Jim Sterling. (totally not a joke)

OT: Reminds me of a time when a guy said I tried to one up everybody all the time. I knew a guy who was much better at doing that.

Well, insulting other gods is kind of what I do.
Don't worry, I'm pretty sure they know I'm just messing around.

 

[ZexionSephiroth]

I almost actually got this comic on the first try... And then immediately felt I wasn't looking deep enough for some deeper joke I wasn't getting.

You guys loosing the impenetrable joke edge?

It also had a spin off series set in the same universe called "Angel Links", which admittedly wasn't very good.

That said I do have to agree with Ishal's sentiments that some Anime series go on waaaay too long.

 

[Biodeamon]

I actually have had this happen to me before
