EDIT: I don't actually think this is going to happen but at this point I am just saying the most absurd poo poo I can because the actual comic is just a dissolved puddle of bland viewpoints and pasta.

As I think has been amply demonstrated all throughout the thread, particularly in my posts, the dumbest ideas are usually what the comic ends up actually doing.

Just like the old Dominic Deegan thread, though that comic actually managed to surpass our dumbest expectations regularly.

I liked that panel better when I interpreted the luggage as a random surreal dream element but you're right, it's just totally bland imagery. That's not even how dreams work.

It's how dreams work in a lot of narratives. I can't particularly fault Mulligan for making a common mistake.

"Generic monsters in a pit" is not a very scary nightmare or one that is actually believable for Patrick to have IMO. His mom would be a much more sensible nightmare

Wowzers Patrick is the creepiest motherfucker alive. Allison doesn’t even blink like when he admits that he’s been invading her mind at its most vulnerable for years. He doesn’t even make it sound like an involuntary thing!

I don't know what's more hosed up. Patrick's casual admission that he's been sleeping with Allison's brain for years without her knowledge, or the revelation that without the barrier Patrick will be tormented by nightmares every night for the rest of his life.

It's just imploding at this point. I feel like they're trying to wrap poo poo up. Like I want to guess that they're trying to end this thing by August. This feels like they're trying to, however clumsily, tie up some of the loose ends of the comic so they can either officially lay it to rest or take a break between chapters that actually becomes a neverending hiatus, freeing both creators to move on to other projects. I just can't buy that either of them wants to work on this thing anymore.

was this not on the page when you loaded it?

notice at the bottom of the page posted:

we’re taking advantage of the chapter finishing to take a month long break. Strong Female Protagonist: Chapter Eight will return on July 24!

Chapter Eight will also be our final chapter. Don’t get too sad yet – as you know, in webcomic-land chapters literally take years, and this one is gonna be a doozy! But we’ve always had a planned end for this story

Betting is open on which plot lines they completely ignore!

Personally my money is on Clevin being a passive-aggressive lump never coming up or being resolved, and Mary never showing up again. She's just out there cuttin' people up, forever.

Once again, screw the supposed message of the comic here's Allison being cool and punching something to solve a problem that shouldn't be punchable

I would complain more but honestly im just glad we're nearing the end, especially since I can't wait to see whats in store for their big finale.

It was Clevin all along, a brave story of a transman in a world that doesn't want him, a girlfriend that cheats on him with her totally unfunctional hobo ex, and of course her much more important friends.

This is pretty gross, yeah, I meant the last couple of panels, although in the context of the chapter even that is really contemptuous of the subject and dumb.

Allison just jokes about it all too with a smile, doesn't even bring it up as a bad thing until later when she's upset at him for other reasons.
