Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
Why do we talk about the characters as if they were real? But then, why not?
Is it cold in here?:
Great post. All we know about the QC characters is some drawings and lettering on a computer. All we know about each other is some text on a computer.
GenericName:
Is It Cold In Here, you are no more real to me than Dora. Therefore, we shall now commence talking about which forumites we would bang.
Doug S. Machina:
Actually GenericName, I know less about you than any of the cast, so you could be far less real than, say, Meena. Except for her being a character in a comic and you (presumably) being a real person at a computer. And I don't I've ever wanted to "bang" another forumite. I'm surely you're all, (well, mostly) lovely though.
Paul: thanks for your answer. Even if that page is making my head hurt.
Barmymoo:
I'd rather have sex with a forumite than a selection of pixels on a screen. Although it would be more likely to create babies, I guess.

Today's strip got me thinking that it's not only that the characters are written like real people. It's also that they're written like real people you could care about. Dora made a screwup that anyone could imagine having made, and clearly wanted the earth to open up and swallow her (life lesson here: it never does when you actually need it to). Faye then did something unexpected, like real people do, and showed that she's healing, like real people do.
