Yo, emotional labor is labor too. He did everything he could think of to help Alison, and that ended being little nice things to help easy her stress and help her concentrate on the big stuff. And he feels unappreciated because when it was the big time to say thank yous, it didn't occur to Alison simply thank him. He's not even asking to be thanked, Alison wanted to know what was up with him so he shared his feelings. If Clevin is still coming off as needy or entilted to you, switch the gender roles abd see how that feels. - - - I see people feel like Clevin is being silly and/and entitled about this whole thing, but I disagree. I see this as a take on the whole notion of "girlfriend" or "wife" both in relation to superhero comics, but also in relation to hero worship in the real world, in regards to entrepreneurs and scientists and such. Romantic significant others actually play a pretty important part in peoples lives. They so often get relegated to the role of decoration or fluff in stories or in headlines and the impact they have on the success of things get downplayed and forgotten. Clevin sure isn't a traditional wife in this setting, and we havn't seen enough of their relationship to get a feeling of how supportive he has been, but we do know some little things. We know that they have been together for a significat amount of time, at least several months while Allison got Valkyrie on its legs. We know that Clevin is the sort of person who throws parties to fundraise for his friends heart surgery and who walks Allison home from Brooklyn to Manhattan just to spend some more time with her without making a big deal about it. And that he is the sort of person who owns up to his feelings and talks to his friends about them and tries to figure them out even when he isn't sure how. This sort of person, how could he have been anything but integral to Allisons emotional well being and stability throughout this stressful and exhausting time? After she has been through one roller coster of pain and self doubt after another, how could he not have been a soothing balm of calm and acceptance to her? And that sort of thing matters so much and it gets ignored and devaulated so much. I'm so glad he is able to vocalize his hurt on not being included. It is such a radical thing. - - - Oh boyf, You adorable nerd. She's about to thank you in her own special way. *wink wink, nudge nudge*

I've decided to trust that they're going somewhere with this. To trust that Clevin, like the philosophy professor, is not what he seems, and that this is all leading up to something. Because otherwise this content is really problematic.

God drat. Before this comic I thought that this was going to be him sad that there was a major portion of Allison's life (having been a superhero) that he'd never really be able to relate to, that when she and her friends started swapping old war stories, he'd always be unable to participate. And, you know, that wouldn't have been great, but it'd be understandable, at least, because that's a respectable hurdle in a relationship. But being this sad about not getting a public thank you? For having been her boyfriend for what, a month? Not long enough to have met her parents before, at least. Versus "Friends of multiple years she went through combat with" and "Other friend whose personal sacrifice was a big inspiration for starting this project". Just how self-important are you, Clevin? If this eventually leads to Clevin revealing a lovely side and getting dumped, I'd be down with it. But hoo boy do I not have confidence that that'll happen.

I love how he just keeps talking and makes it worse with every word. "You didn't thank be and I felt left out" would still be real insecure and whiny but kind of understandable. But then he has to keep going and start naming other people to ask "well what did THEY do" including the person who was her main partner for her entire superhero career. Also that loving audible sigh at the start. The author has to be aware that he's making Clevin be passive aggressive as hell here, right?

Having Clevin turn into a weird jerk would be so delicious, given how much the comments people fawned over him during Max's appearances.

If you think about, subjecting yourself to never-ending torture to save countless lives with your organ donations is roughly equivalent to making pasta.

I mean maybe we're getting ahead of ourselves and next comic will start with the strong female protagonist also taking a deep loud sigh and calling the weak male lead a simpering little manipulative bitch and will then punch him straight into the sun and telekinetically fly herself to wherever John Shkreli Galt is to get a deep dicking

"You know I didn't even notice that she left Clevin out when I read the speech the first time. I wonder if some of the reason why Clevins support and pasta making hasn't been activly shown in the comic is in itself to illustrate how easily things like this gets forgotten. So that people wouldn't immediatly judge Allison to be an rear end in a top hat for not including him in the speech. Because also, him being a guy would make him making her pasta stand more out to the readers than if Allison was a man and Clevin a woman. People are generally more impressed when guys step up like that and take it more for granted when women do it. I keep getting impressed by the story telling skills in this comic."
