Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Clementine doesn't make me feel nostalgia because I was never as cool as Clem or her friends. I was more like one of those random assholes they encounter. This kind of gets at the heart of what I'm talking about. It's not that my issue with Clementine et al. is that they're not lovely enough. It's that they're not boring enough. It's like an idealized version of that type of person. The people I've known like that aren't loving around in the woods or hangin out at parties, they were hanging out smoking weed and watching tv reruns. I think it's no different than how people like to think they're big on hiking or whatever but spend most of their time crashing on the couch after work watching Netflix. The comic depicts an idealized version of that lifestyle. There's nothing wrong with that, and I do like the comic, but I just see it more as enjoyable fluff. I would actually go so far as to say that MM&O is actually less realistic, in the sense that are a hell of a lot fewer people out there like Megg than Clementine, but I think MM&O is more grounded in realistic human traits. It *does* show people at their worst, to an unrealistic extent, but at the same time I get it. I'm also not trying to change people's minds here. You are all free to enjoy whatever you want. I, personally, enjoy Pupkin. I just love MM&O immensely and have put a lot of thought into what makes it so special to me, as someone who really don't relate with the characters at all (which seems to be a big talking point for it). Also for fans of hosed up comics, Ines Estrada has been recently posting Cherry on her Instagram, and it's worth checking out: https://www.instagram.com/inechi__/

Clementine seems to feature a decent amount of people sitting around doing absolutely nothing. It's a little bit... idealized seems like a weird word??? Exaggerated? But not all that much, all things considered. I'm pretty sure I've seen worse.

Yeah what's up with all these comics of people doing things. They would be much more believable if they mostly depicted people sitting on the couch watching TV and then going to sleep.
