>>94084529>Is it just me do a lot of these indie tumblr pandering slice of life comics set in some sort of magical candyland where nothing bad ever happens?The problem is;
A) If you're optimistic/willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, the writers of these comics just believe that the quirkiness of the characters can carry the weight of a show/series/comic instead of any meaningful conflict. It's their equivalent to humor or comedy. Problem is a lot of this stuff is rarely funny because it focuses on a 'so relatable quirky' rather than quirk with actual intelligence and meaning behind it.
B) If you're somewhat pessimistic it's probably because a lot of them haven't really experienced any true problems in their lives. You write what you know or rather the world that you want to live in. These people want to live in a candy land where even the most mundane of consequences don't exist. It makes the comic more of an escapist fantasy rather than a story with structure, gravity, or meaning other than what the creators want to impose on the world. It's an expression of their identity and frustrations at the world and what they want the world to be.
