Flesh Forge posted:"I instinctively read everyone's minds and have for many years, but I act like a total weirdo and don't notice when my behavior alienates people" I just got caught up on this comic, and I think it's just a symptom of SFP's biggest problem, which is that it approaches every issue like a brick approaches aerodynamics. Everyone's problems are communicated in the form of really blatant melodrama, as exposition, or both. Patrick acts like an autistic weirdo because the author wants to communicate that his telepathy makes him relate oddly to other people, but can only do so by making him act overtly weird or just by having him dump a load of words to Alison about what he feels like he did in the car ride. It's frustrating, because I want to like this comic way more than I do, but the complete lack of subtlety feels really offputting, particularly when it tries to approach social situations. It ends up feeling really preachy and soapboxy and occasionally strawmany, which isn't particularly fun or interesting to read even when I agree with the author.
