To be fair that's a better plot development than I expected but wow, that's a hum dinger of a line.

Attached to a different story, where this came after like... slowly working through his issues. Getting him to open up. This scene would be really good (except for that one line).

Even the clichest ending to that: "Die", would have been better. Hell a 'Do not think of me, your son died when you thought of murdering him' would be good too. It's like everyone can't have agency unless they are Alison or a villain. Now it's going into the even more tired cliche that after this he gets verbally berated by his mother and he ends up killing her anyway, he's been tapped directly into their thoughts and all he can muster is that simpering pissant of a line.

Oh no, Patrick's turning into a Clevin. Next he will make his parents pasta so they will like him.

See, that last line could work if he had any happy memories with his family. Because this is a painfully interesting character moment that is lost in a bad story.

It sort of works. If he can't escape his parent's bad vibes, and he doesn't want to kill them, the best he can do is ask them to think happy thoughts.

It seems unlikely that you will return to believing that I simply drowned after rolling out of mother's car. One of the main problems with this comic is that Mulligan isn't suited to writing genre dialogue at all. He either relies on cliches or these tortured expressions to wring some character out of stock types. If he was just writing about lesbian girlfriends talking about regular stuff, it still wouldn't be great, but it wouldn't be quite so annoying. pospysyl fucked around with this message at 14:58 on Apr 6, 2018 |

I kind of prefer the idea that he stick with boring straight couples and not try to show how woke he is personally. It seems to be very poor.

I'm kinda liking this scene, but the dialogue is atrocious. Also wow he does not resemble either of his parents in the slightest. If he's not supposed to be adopted that's bad character design.

My favorite part of this comic is that there's always this tiny glimmer of potential in there. Like, I almost want to believe that after Patrick inevitably stabs his parents for not thinking like he wants them to think it will be contrasted with Allison repeatedly using physical violence against people for not thinking like she wants them to think, but then this is also SFP so it'll inevitably end with Allison being portrayed as the better, more moral person again.

Even the line itself wouldn't be awful in a better story attached to a better character. Like if he had been shown to have any emotion other than fear and contempt for his parents it would make sense. But he regularly hangs out with a dude who decapitates people whenever he hugs them, and exploits everyone around him, so he can't really by assumed by the audience to have all that much sentimentality or regard for human life. Like I could imagine a young Professor X going to his parents after being kicked out or abandoned and he made a name for himself and wanted to go back to them to plead with them that he still cared for them and that their constant loathing for him was a constant and very real burden to him. But this is just Patrick loudly making GBS threads his pants for no reason.

That and the way the mom’s eyes escape the edge of her head in panel 2 annoys me. It’s all so rushed looking. I get the point of economizing your art to a point if you have to make a lot of it, but I can’t imagine she cares at this point. Like with all webcomics ever, since it’s free and there will always be enough people to praise even the smallest amount of effort, why bother improving.

Why is he talking in Lazy Exposition Dialog? We already saw those things! We know what happened! The reader doesn't need to be awkwardly reminded that Patrick is a psychic; it is the premise of the story!

He talks like the architect from Matrix: Reloaded. I'm waiting for him to drop an ipso facto ergo.

If it's a tearful, therapeutic reconciliation, why is it locked behind the door? Unless Tuesday's comic is going to be them attacking him and he kills them in self-defense because Patrick can't look like the bad guy in that situation.

Can't believe Patrick's dad is Clevin. EDIT: I mean, if we're going to talk about 'the worship of your own timidity'.
