So what's the odds on Alison defeating the kid and the mask guy and then girl Patrick will become dominant, making Real Patrick trans and coincidentally a Good Person that they Alison and Paladin will conveniently no longer have any conflict with? I want to believe they aren't that tone deaf and pandering but then I see the comments section so who knows.

I think this is all a plot by Patrick to make Alison not turn him in like she threatened to do.

If she's made to believe that the "evil" part of his psyche is killed or overwhelmed, then the good part wouldn't be culpable for Menace's crimes. Alison would see that there are literally different people in his head.

The stupid leaps of logic the comic's made; Alison somehow knowing she can hop into his mind, him showing up at her doorstop just in time for her to do that, her having powers in his mind, the over the top and unreal abuse he suffered; all of that would make sense if he's just messing with her and playing to Alison's beliefs about herself and the way the world works.

I also think this is all being played completely straight and really is as dumb as it seems.

Take it from someone who is openly trans: I wouldn't put it past them. Remember that clusterfuck of a scene with the therapy session?

e: this comic is the most Woke Straight White Boy Ally horseshit, just consistently.

Early Patrick seemed like he was always to be treated like it was ambiguous how genuine he was at any given moment. The Looney Tunes bit was supposed to be notable in that it was like the moment where Patrick clearly left his guard down at the moment but everything else looked like it was supposed to have an air of "how much is this just him manipulating Allison into an ally," and the start of the office scene seemed like he was split between "ok I'm getting kind of attracted to Allison so I'll act a bit more evil and dickish to push her away a bit but not too much" but then the end of that scene just kind of flipped it and now we're just to take everything at face value regarding Patrick.

i mean you can infer that the sad-looking woman with the sword facing off against a huge dragon is there to kill it, and you can see that the huge dragon is actually pathetic and not very menacing, but yeah a bit more context would be useful for the comparison. for example, i don't know which character best represents clevin

If I were to guess, yes:

"You see Clevin represents the worst of humanity and the best of humanity! It is all very much based off the Wagner Opera Valkyrie where Allison is seeing the death of all that is wrong with the world, the male! And And -"*breaks into incoherent sobbing*

Even if you don't need context to understand, read the comic anyway because K6BD is very good.

clevin is a bad boy

Allison and Alison are both nietzschean figures, and Mammon and Clevin are both instances of the 'Last Man.' The difference is that K6BD both is more capable of accurately depicting Nietzschean ideas and more capable of complicating and arguing with them. The question of what power and the will to power make of the demiurges and of Allison is central to K6BD. In theory a similar question is present in this comic, but it's totally inchoate, poorly dealt with. Not only that but Alison both supposedly wrote an essay arguing against Nietzsche and totally failed to recognize that her sense that non-superpowered people just can't understand her and can't judge her is itself a poorly reproduced form of Nietzsche.

Mammon is a good figure within a narrative with thematic purpose.
Clevin is a bad figure within a narrative who is the death of thematic purpose.

Feed Clevin to the good big scaly Scrooge McDog.

Counter point: remove woman with sword replace with Clevin. Then comic will be Clevin the best Clevin.

I expected actual ZOG ruling the world from the shadows to be too interesting a thing to actually happen in the comic and explicitly counter to the whole "you can't just punch all badness away" premise, I hadn't counted on mulligan taking the third path of having it be real and also never directly addressing it

Honest question; what would have been wrong with having boy Patrick morph into costumed menace in this sequence? It's not like we need to keep up the charade of there being multiple versions of a guy in his own head.

The most threatening part of the third panel is that one drone that is vaguely drawn as though it's moving towards our heroine while Lord Boy impassionately stares on, this comic rules
