The Defenestration of Erin Stout

[coldfrog]

Unfortunately I saw that coming when I saw the name of the comic, now I'm trying to remember when I learned the definition of defenestration

High school english, our teacher kept the "word of the day" calendar. Cleverly positioned outward so the students could see it. This happened to be one of the few I remember. (Abattoir and hirsute being two others) That's my story.

And yes, I too saw it coming from the title, but I at least also enjoyed how the description declares it as top-tier foreshadowing. You know, the kind where they directly tell you about it.

Finally something happened. Too bad it wasn't funny.

What is the point of this comic?

 

[ThunderCavalier]

Erin is just not making any friends recently.

 

[Me55enger]

Totally giving you points for the Dark Angel reference.

That is, providing you meant to.

 

[The Lugz]

ok, from the ridiculous to the sublime:

the dude is bonking her on the head again in a vein attempt at a comic relief psyco-readjustment

this is my vote

 

[Erttheking]

How many other people knew what defenestration meant before opening this? I did, THANK YOU TV TROPES!

 

[Cat of Doom]

A'm I the only one who thinks the blond stranger is a figment of her imagination and this is all going on in her head.

 

[bigfatcarp93]

Wow... even with the title, I did NOT see that coming.

 

[Something Amyss]

A'm I the only one who thinks the blond stranger is a figment of her imagination and this is all going on in her head.

This was the prevailing theory from early on in the story. So not only are you NEVER the only one (and there's a Critical Miss comic for that...), you're probably in the majority.

Well I imagine a second blow to the head will get rid of those pesky protagonists, good thinking on Tris' part.

But what if, and i'm just theorising here, it gets rid of the protagonists. BUT! Instead, she's stuck seeing antagonists?

 

[upgray3dd]

I get the impression this would've been funnier if I didn't know what the word "defenestration" meant. Curse you, The Spectacular Spider-man cartoon.

 

[Sgt Hyabusa]

FINALLY.

 

[MrCalavera_v1legacy]

The title kinda spoiled it to me. One of the flaws of knowing some "smart" words.

If she's lucky she'll only start seeing non-important npcs. They only have like three lines of dialogue so their advice won't be so bad.

 

[Gaboris]

Ummm... what just happened? I actually got lost in all this. Okay the guy had enough, but THIS is a bit too much... "
Or wait... I hope this is not a method that'll cure Erin's whole schizophrenia thing.

Grey pushed Cory out of a window after a fight over where to take this arc, tragically killing him. By way of web comic he is conveying this message to his fans before he commits seppuku to atone for his action.

God speed, ye of gaming webcomics.

I knew the murder room vibe I was getting from his place wasn't a misread!

Homer and Lisa proved that smartness brings sadness.

 

[maninahat]

Ah, now its going somewhere!

Videogame characters tend to be killed by falling down pits, despite you never seeing them hit the bottom. I wouldn't be surprised if the fall kills all the game characters in Erin's head, before she harmlessly hits the floor like a sack of cement.
