So, then it is wrong. The whole basis of Katie's cynical theory is that basic kindness is inherently shallow and thus meaningless, which is demonstrably incorrect.

But really, this isn't about Pasq, it's about Katie's inability to form basic connections because of her own bitterness. A bitterness which isn't any more or less shallow than Pasq's niceness, because honestly most of her "deep cynical thoughts" aren't exactly routed in reality and are pretty much her own insecurities reflected back at her (like most middle school angst).

it doesn't need to work as some kind of universal social commentary. She doesn't want to be part of Pasq's stable cause she views her as kind of an inconsiderate emotional vampire, and instead of taking "no" for an answer Pasqualo is doing the inconsiderate emotional vampire thing of following her around harassing her nonstop to be "friends". Other people are not, like, factually wrong broken misanthropes or frigid bitches or whatever cause stalking and catcalling doesn't make them want to be in whatever relationship with you you demand.

There's no kindness involved here, basic or otherwise. Remembering someone's birthday is not a substitute for treating them like a person and doesn't make whatever you do to them 'kind'. That's the point, it's not an indictment of remembering birthdays in itself as some kind of evil act.

Horley has been present from the first page of the comic; where he's not visible it's typically because the panel's framing places him behind the 'fourth wall' in the room with the reader

she's also right that its extremely crass to ask a woman if she ever hosed a dead man

I mean, he would have still been alive at the time
