Today, we start off with last night's strip. Tonight's strip will be incoming soon, but please read the PSA from Patreanon below before you comment.

Hopefully it will shed some light on our recent issues keeping a thread active and healthy. As long as there are anons who enjoy posting in it, I hope we can keep this thread alive and well.

PSA from myself, Patreanon, just below:

Hey, not-doag. Patreanon here tonight. After two nights of serving my bans, and a few chats with mods on IRC, I'm back. I appreciate the fill-ins in the interim.

The main concern relayed to me was that we were devolving into SINFEST levels of commenting on the author's politics more than the strip itself. That was a reality check for me. The two posts that I was banned for used the term 'Ess Jay Double You' in the text and/or the screenshot. You should be mindful of keeping anything that could be construed as /pol/-esque out of the thread.

As far as I understand it, we're totally free to keep discussing the comic and calling Willis complete shit as an author, but we should avoid critiquing his political stance in such inflamatory terms. I don't think the subject line, or the recent troll bitching about "necro-bumps" had anything to do with it, but we should be mindful of those things just in case.

Also, keep in mind that just because I talked to one or two mods about this does not make us immune to these, or other rules. What goes free for one mod might not pass for another.

Keep on keeping on, not-doag. Lets hope we can keep having fun shitting on Willy for a long while here on /co/.

Seems reasonable.

There are a lot of things we can insult Willis for that don't involve his politics.

I think mods should remove the dicks from their asses and get off Tumblr because Willy's insane "Ess Jay Double You"ism is a valid complaint about him and his work, considering its ridiculous levels, and the ability to see that is in no way "/pol/esque" and if they weren't absolute retards they'd see that, but here we are.

I'm pretty much totally fine with this.

>>92045405
Wow this was a journey, first I thought that last panel Becky looked really bad. But then I noticed the 1st and 3rd panel ones. What the fuck is with the tumourous foreheads WIllis draws on occasion. They look fucking horrendous. Robin in that last panel looks pretty bad too, I get the expression but her mouth is shifted down a bit too much.

As for writing, I find Robin's description of her dads to be extremely weird and confusing. It's like she can't envision a decent dude. And she completely ignores whether Mark is good to her mom or anything like that, she just dunks on him being a huge dork. ALL WHILE SITTING UNDER A GIANT STAR WARS POSTER IN A HUGE NERD'S HOME! And then Becky agrees even though her girlfriend is an obsessive nerd who wears a dinosaur hat.

So not only do I not get what her issue even is (aside from with her first dad, that's pretty easy to get) but it's inconsistent.

The last panel is hard to even discuss because I think the rest of the strip is such a failure. Like, maybe there's a way for that panel to be touching, but not like this.

If anything, Willis is manipulating his audience. "Don't worry about an actual backstory that elaborates upon the person that Robin was when she was younger and how it influenced the way she presents herself nowadays. Hell, don't even worry about HOW her birth father was a bad person! Just know that she had a bad childhood and worse parents. That's all you need. That's all you'll ever need to know."

That's what I mean. He's trying to paint her as being a sympathetic character by suddenly giving her a vague and very loose backstory. "Sure, I'm a corrupt politician who is more interested in attracting a demographic than attracting an actual likeable personality, but I had a rough childhood."

You're right, we know so little about Robin for a character who is supposed to be so public and important. Basically, we know she wants power and will do anything to get it, but we don't know what principles she'll violate stay in power.

Like in this strip, she mentions having to be very careful around guys, but there's no sense that it disturbs her. And the strip reinforces that by Roz's reaction. And it's kinda contradicted by this strip where we find out she can't stand her stepdad's jokes. I guess since there's nothing to be really gained/lost she won't humour her step-dad, but gleefully recommends doing that for your co-workers.

Is there anything she has wanted to accomplish with her power? Any big projects she has spearheaded? Even Shortpacked! Robin had her world peace bill or whatever, this one just likes that she won a thing. Which works for the Trump analog aspect, but it's hurting the character. And it hurts Leslie as well, because she's supposed to be genuinely impressed with Robin.

Robin:
>became the an extremely young (if not the youngest and I think first latina) representative
>has shown no signs of why she wanted to do that or what she did with that power because she just follows the party line and keeps the status quo going
>likes Leslie on a personality level and thinks she's attractive
>wears glasses to impress people to make them think she's smart, despite having incredibly impressive credentials
oh and
>thinks that people who drug and try to assault women should be locked up, which is not notable outside of being one of the few things we know about her as a person

Egotistical but insecure is probably the most coherent personality you could glean from that. Something interesting about her learning about Ryan is that she automatically offered to help rather than asking for any kind of proof; that kind of allegation against its staff can sink a campaign yet she freely obliged Leslie her request.

Allegations aren't convictions.
A convicted rapist would get thrown to the wolves.
This is an allegation of drugging and conspiracy.
It would be slightly different if there was an investigation with the police but this is literally two people (one of which assaulted the defendant during that same night) saying that one of them was roofied at a party but never went to the police for months.
Even if they did go to the police there is no way that they can prove that this dude did the deed.
The scandal would do more damage to your campaign especially if it was true.
The best idea would be to make it a false accusation by people who are against your politics trying to make a scandal out of nothing.
