Ishmael Returns

[BehattedWanderer]

Critical Miss: Now with more bodyshaming than ever!

 

[Flight]

Given how Erin treats other people, it's quite nice to see her getting a taste of her own medicine. Perhaps I'd be more inclined to feel sorry for her if she didn't start bar fights in hope of getting tail and holding a new coworker at knife-point because she's jealously "guarding" what she sees as "her turf".

 

[Urgh76]

No, that was her friend with the red hair.

I can't remember how to spell her name...It starts with a M.

Well, THAT explains why she's still hired.

Maybe M is friends with Sharon.

Shame for not remembering Molly

Besides that, Suchong looks like she's ready to pounce and tear Sharon's head off

So that's her name. But didn't she call her a nickname too? I think it was Mole, and her daughter was Mini Mole, right?

Also, Suchong is male.

Oopsie.

For a reference I remembered

Spoiler: This comic

I guess I got the roles mixed up.

I love Suchong's family side story. They could make a whole comic out of just that.

 

[Rassmusseum]

I know she's looked this way for awhile, but I love Sharon's new look as opposed to how she looked when she was first introduced. I'd love to see more strips with her!

 

[Swyftstar]

After rereading all the old strips I am reminded that Erin was a horrible person even before the accident and Sharon has been calling her fat the whole time. So nope, I do not feel sorry for Erin.

 

[deathninja]

I can't imagine being able to put up with a job where the boss treats me like crap.

My boss punched me in the face on the shop floor once, had to stay as I needed the money though.

 

[antipunt]

have you ever had to deal with a tsundere in REAL life before?

God dam they are annoying as f*ck..

 

[Palindromemordnilap_v1legacy]

With Erin interacting with video-game characters and all I can't shake the feeling that Philip is really Ganon...

 

[Punch You]

Anyone else notice that Sharon isn't as fat as she used to be? I'm kinda deisapointed now, because when she used to call Erin fat, it made Sharon look insecure because she was bigger than Erin.

Anyone else hating how all the character's looks are being changed? Next thing you know,Elliot won't have red eyes anymore, Penny will have a tan, Charles will be a Panda, and worst of all, Clive, Stu and Carbomb will reappear in the comic series!

 

[I.Muir]

Go for a throat punch
UPPERCUT!

 

[Sonic Doctor]

<_<....Maybe it's another fat joke?

I kind of figured that. I just found it weird that after I watched a video of a white whale, I came here and saw that name. Considering, I understandably had been thinking of Moby Dick when saw the video.

 

[BX3]

Some of you guys take this comic to seriously.

Should I feel bad for Erin? Because I feel bad for Erin. You should all feel bad for Erin too, her expression in the last panel is heartbreaking.

That said, she's probably cooking up some revenge plan as we speak.

HAH! I see what you did there!

It's good to know this kind of thinking isn't solely exclusive to Sonic fans. Makes me feel a little less pathetic.

 

[Evil Smurf]

She's still less of a twat than Erin.

I sense a twat off!

 

[AbstractStream]

Sharon might be horrible, but at least she's funny.

 

[Treblaine]

Her calling her fat is like teasing Mr Universe for being "so weedy".

It just doesn't make sense. I don't get how girls make such insults?

 

[Paragon Fury]

As much as the story tries to spin it....I think that we should be realizing that Erin is really the antagonist of this little story, and we're just watching here annoy and threaten and try to ruin everyone's lives around her and see their reactions while they try to put up with her.

We'll come to find out most of the "positive" things about Erin are her really just twisting the story.

CAPTCHA: Spin Doctor.

Damn straight.

Yeah, I thought that was the general idea before. Maybe it's all part of an unpublished story arc for Sharon. Her insecurities lead to her using cocaine as a confidence booster and an appetite suppressant. Look at her in the second panel, she looks haggered and washed out like she's been doing too much coke. Sadly, despite her weight loss her insecurities remain and have no doubt been exacerbated by the psychological effects of prolonged cocaine use, resulting in the behaviour displayed towards Erin in this strip.
I think Grey & Cory should now illustrate this harrowing tale of a once promising career woman cracking under the pressures of modern day living, ending with her untimely death from a suspected deliberate overdose of vodka and painkillers.
As for Erin, her worsening bouts of schizophrenia see her institutionalised on several occasions. Unable to hold down a job and pushing away her friends with her increasingly erratic and sometimes dangerous behaviour she ends up sleeping on the streets, where she finally dies of a combination of alcoholism, exposure and malnutrition at the age of 29, mourned only by Suchong who goes into a deep depression upon his owners death. Happily, he is rescued by his loving family and they move away to the country to live a simple but ultimately more fulfilling life.
Critical Miss, a modern tragedy.
