there's another one?

Kill Six Billion Demons, the other comic about a super powered woman named Allison with a weak boyfriend.

Comic: http://killsixbilliondemons.com
Thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3745508

I don't want to over sell it, but it's a little trippier, the art's a little more detailed, and there's a few more hellbeasts.

He gazed up at the Comic. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the Cleven. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving storytelling! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Dad.

It's that sitcom thing where a character is about to confess their love in the heat of the moment before realising they're too cool and/or awkward to do that so they deflect by saying they love their coffee maker or whatever instead, except there is nothing lovable about or around Clevin so she can't finish that sentence.

I was so hoping it would lead to her realizing that something was terribly terribly wrong.

How does this comic keep getting worse?

So uh yeah it may not be news to anyone but me but I've only just seen Molly's own personal comic journals and she draws herself pretty much the same as she draws Allison?

And also her girlfriend.

Which leads to some confusion.



Same tho.

We're all compelled to watch in case something really stupid happens again so we can mock it. It always does because the people who make the comics rarely decide to improve. Tim Buckley kind of did and now CAD's just a mediocre kind of bad instead of aggressively bad.

This comic is poop from a butt. I don't know how it keeps getting worse but it does. I don't think I even hate the people who make it anymore. I just want their hands to stop existing so this won't go on any longer.

She kind of leans on colors and accessories to differentiate people or convey different hair styles. When you remove both of those, a lot of her humans end up looking terribly interchangeable.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.


If she wasn't gay, things would make no sense and she'd be unhappy?
Isn't there a reversed is/ought violation there?
Isn't she confusing normative and descriptive structuration of sexual orientation?
Or is she going for the sensemaking approach?
Shouldn't it be "I'm so happy I realized I'm gay" if she's going for the sensemaking/self-understanding issue framing?
Or is she implying categorically that straight folks don't understand the world?
What about bisexual or asexual folks?
Is there some objective moral sexual orientation choice rhetorics going on? That'd be really weird for this comic, though. I doubt it's pulling a double SCUMM.
But then, what is causing her to have negative experiences while she sleeps?
Is she dreaming of Mighty Girl kissing Clevin? I'd be relieved to wake up from a Clevin Dream.
I Dream of Clevin.
Clevinrynth.
It was all just a Clevin.
Clevin of the Rarebit Fiend.
Clevin the 13th (year of comics without any plot arc)

I have infinitely fewer problems with the art, or even the writing, of this comic than I do with the hash of ideas it's trying to express.

It's a middle page in a short diary comic she posted to twitter about how she's not miserable and sexually confused since she came out of the closet and didn't feel obligated to date men. The first page was about how she'd still have bad dreams about that period of her life.
