Is your "why does any of this matter" line a form of sarcasm? You say it a lot when there are slow moments in the comics you riff, mainly the slice-of-life ones.

I say it when there are moments that in my view, don't seem to matter. Sometimes it's a genuine question.

If it's annoying or bad criticism I will stop though.

Apparently, Scooter here faints at the sight of blood like that one Alien Dice twin. At least he doesn't vomit.

Also, why does any of this matter?

Uhhh, did these animals gain sentience yesterday? Imagine a human saying this.

NO, I don't want to sound like a Twitter user who demands every bit and story to be applied through human lens and not being able to have a distinct acceptance of different cultures that have completely different morals and ethics that are completely alien to us!

But still, imagine a human saying this.

She was Kathy's SISTER? That now makes perfect sense, this whole family is fucked up.

Well it's official, Sandy is my least favourite character. Now I am wondering which is worse, reckless driving or saying "I am a good person" over and over.

 If you’re talking about a future storyline, then yes. Just wait until the latter parts of 2008.

Boy, that’s gonna take a while.

They’re all more weird than immature, and would you believe me if I told you there was a reason why this panda speaks with an Engrish accent?

Did the comic not make it obvious that Sandy, Kathy, and Arfur are siblings? It’s a pretty easy thing to catch when Sandy mentions ‘mom’ as a shared person. This is all more casual conversation than “nonsense exposition,” really. 

It’s amazing how even in the year 2066 (same timeline as 21st Century Fox, by the way), talks about peer pressuring people into dating and marriage, moms wanting grandchildren, and “slackers” living with their parents being designated as failures of society, like in the 60s or 70s, are still present talking points. This era’s like a worse man’s cheesy sitcom fused to a wacky comic strip ironically written in the 90s.

Is the reason gonna be revealed in the future or is that only in the lore???

Oh, yeah. It was so oddly framed I didn’t even realize that, but now I know.

So wait this takes place in 2066 and not thousand years later. Then I can forgive the somewhat old school thinking of certain characters. But also, I know a lot of people who still have problems with those issues, so I am not completely opposed to depicting it.

I get it. "Hurr hurr it's supposed to be funny because she is an unprofessional jerk". Unless you're Mr. Bean or Misato Katsuragi, reckless driving is never funny, ESPECIALLY ON AN AMBULANCE.

Also I get it. "It's probably based on something that happened to Kathy IRL!" If this happened to her IRL she wouldn't be fucking ALIVE to tell it!

You know it's bad when Kathy is the sane man. Sandy is SOOOOOO gonna get fucking fired.

Sandy works in a hospital. That's the joke. Also I am pretty sure this is illegal.

I admit, while I still don't really get why any of this matters. It is way more enjoyable than Giraffe Wedding, mainly because I don't have to look at 21st Century Fox references or eldritch horror giraffes.

Also, suddenly this comic forgot it takes place in the future.

aaaaaand we get nonsense exposition, who is Arfur??? Why does Sandy know this? What school???

We could've established these characters through Kathy flashbacking and reminiscing in the Giraffe Wedding arc. Now we're just left confused.

If there is one aspect about Kathy I do really like, it's that she wants to keep being single. Single protagonists in any shape or form are still revolutionary by webcomic standards. Of course I know it won't last but you gotta enjoy it while you can.

We meet another new pointless character, Sandy. Why is she licking the camera? Kathy should have done this
