It's pretty hard to make that call at this point in time. Though she's been comic relief in several strips, her character hasn't really gone anywhere yet. Disappointingly, even through the party arc (at her own house!) she took a backseat to Claire, Hannelore, and even Marigold, and was never really visited except to establish that she has parents, a large house, and no other friends. Until we see some depth added, she's left witha a very "Outdoors Pint-size" feel, though even Jeph has revealed a deeper side to Pint-size from time to time.
Ninja'd by last post :-\ but I'm keeping it for the Pint-Size bit.

Maybe she has got issues but right now, she's just 'ha ha, oh Emily, you kooky chick!' and that's it. I don't care about her at all, she's a throwaway (with a kickass haircut). I've been hoping that the little hints that Emily's struggled to make and keep friends might be elaborated on (she's gone from loner to a group without much of a reaction/adjustment/trouble), or she could talk about/use her degree (computing stuff?) or perhaps she could have a conversation with someone that isn't played for laughs but so far that hasn't happened. I've come to write-off Emily updates and I'm sad about that because Jeph seems to love her.

You said basically everything I wanted to say.
I'm thankful for that, cause it saves me the effort.

--- End quote ---
I don't see anyone getting angry at a pun here. Claire, seeing it coming, steals it. Hannelore just takes the statement at face value. No anger.
It is Emily, who started the whole thing, who gets angry with Claire for stealing her punchline.

--- End quote ---
YES! I came here specifically to see if anyone else noticed Daisy, but I wasn't sure about the other girl. As soon as I saw you're post I said Yes! Joyce!
I did... I actually said that.....

Oooh, I've ninja'd someone, and I thought I was having a very unproductive day ;)
The Pintsize comparison is really interesting. That strip happens to be one of my favourites as it touched one of a the squishier parts of my heart. Pintsize has a purpose, desires and hobbies (yes, some of them are porn but some of them are making snow Terminators, funny hats and Supa-Roombas etc) and many of his reactions are natural, like when he got upset at being left behind (god that was ages ago) All in all, he's a pretty awesome character.
Oh and @Delator Glad I could save you some effort :)
