How rude! I fail to see how my high school experiences disqualify me from offering my opinions on fictional web comic characters.
Anyway, for some reason, I'm really loving Pintsize in the forth panel. The way he's standing on those thumb-feet.... it's just so cute!
Lyrical:
Carl-E, I got that impression from him, too, although I dislike Pintsize, so I felt mild schadenfreude about it. Perhaps he can take up gardening. After all, instead of just having a green thumb, he has four of them!
Bicostp, there are lots of women who are gorgeous and have great hygiene, but who are still unconfident in their own skin. They want to lose 5 pounds, get a nose job, get a boob job, if their hair is curly, they want it to be straight and vice versa, etc. Looking attractive, and having people respond to that, helps, but a lot of it is the way *they* perceive themselves. Self-esteem involves more than just looks, and I'm mostly happy with myself in that area, but it helps to have at least one person who makes you feel luscious!
I have some similarities to Marigold, but without the hygiene and messy room issues. I used to be a gamer chick on a MUDD and other things (I've been resisting WOW). We have similar facial structure, colouring, and hair length/general cut. I used to do some modelling, and several friends who are amateur photographers have taken photos of me for their classes or portfolios. The people who are saying she could clean up nicely are right. Normally, I think of myself as cute, rather than pretty/gorgeous, but most photographers (even the DMV) can make me look elegant and exotic! A little makeup, carrying yourself the right way, stuff like that makes a huge difference.
bicostp:
@Lyrical: I didn't mean to sound like "oh well just do this and this and your problems are over you fat smelly lazyass". I meant that if she feels bad about those factors, but tried to do something about them, she might feel better about herself. I know it worked for me: after high school I gained weight because I was still eating like a teenager (too much, all the time), basically did nothing but sit at the computer all day (no regular gym class to burn off all those fries), and I felt like crap about it. I watched what I ate and started exercising more, lost close to 30 pounds, got back to where I was, and I'm glad I did it. :-) (Woo relatable character writing woo)
Is it cold in here?:

Yes, strip 562.
Come to think of it, Raven's a gamer (can't find the strip offhand, but she had a D&D partner come into the shop once). Raven also has pimples (#703).
Marigold might have a reflexive negative reaction to Raven but if she got over that they would find things in common. I like the idea of them meeting.
