Same author for both character have anything to do with that?

Strange thought: Are there any truly unsympathetic MALE characters in this strip?

I know Steve can be a jerk sometimes, but it's the women and the 'bots that cause most of the trouble.

--- Quote from: TheEvilDog on 27 May 2011, 12:01 ---Sven was the unsympathetic male in the comic, rich, successful, didn't have to do much in life, just coasted along and has presumably a crapton of money. I say was, because since Faye mentally castrated him, Sven has become a little bit more sympathetic.

But there aren't many characters that has been designed to be "hated". Or if they are, they're usually just one shot characters we might not see again.

Tiogyr:
It all has to do with perspective, because I feel zero sympathy for Marten whenever anything happens to him. He's pretty much a blank slate character that just reacts to the people around him.

mike837go:
But is Marten truly UNsympathetic?

He's been described in the forums as a "manatee on codene" many times. But does that make his as annoying as say The Vespavenger?

Boomslang:
Dale is unsympathetic.

He's creepy, he keeps showing up when he isn't wanted, and he's all but threatened Marigold. He's almost to the point where she should take a restraining order out against him.

Oh, and Agent Turing. He's a dick.
