Are there any truly unsympathetic MALE characters in this strip?

<< < (18/26) > >>

Emperor Norton:
What was he supposed to do climb Mount Everest?

And since when are women to be won by acts of gallantry, or whatever else you feel is needed?

I don't know honestly, after he came back, you see boring, but I see amusing humor. You know what else I see? SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE DRAMA. His lack of drama, maybe to some makes him less interesting, but really, wouldn't a guy who seems to have his shit together be MORE ATTRACTIVE to date?

Carl-E:
I have to agree with Emperor Norton.  In addition, he didn't just "shoot Marigold down", but rather preserved the relationship (friendship) that they had.  True, he made a bit of a hash of it, but they were  drunk, and she was working with a major misinterpretation of the situation!  Overall, he acted like a gentleman to her, and that actually won him points in my book!

cat_rant:
I totally agree with the above two comments. Faye has less drama these days too, so maybe that is why is working now with Angus 2.0

Less drama all round is a good thing right?

That depends;

In real life, generally, the less drama the better. Sailing on an even keel is a good way to get to one's destination.

However, we are discussing a work of entertaining fiction. Drama from the characters allows us to live vicariously through their trials and tribulations. Drama allows us to experiance and feel things that we would never be exposed to in a well grounded, real life.

DSL:
Eh ... True. But from a story standpoint, it can be useful to have a compare-and-contrast character or characters ... In this case, a couple that more or less has its shit together, in comparison to whatever everyone else has (or hasn't) going on. That contrast can be the seed for further tension/conflct/drama to drive a story along.
