No, you might get OUR military satelites fraternizing with THEIR ones. Then they might refuse to obliterate THEIR cities on command -- and THEN where would we be?

--- Quote from: greekstreek on 14 Dec 2014, 21:38 ---I just don't want this to devolve into serious mental issues flippantly masquerading as cute eccentricity, and have that be the end of it. This comic takes characters seriously enough that if Emily is actually mentally ill she should be given a story that realistically addresses that problem instead of just dismissing it as "oh Emily, she so craaazy". This behavior goes a shade beyond eccentric for me.

I doubt it would. Jeph has had to deal with a lot of that stuff himself, so I don't think that he'd casually dismiss it, not to mention the depictions of Hanners and Faye. If there's something odd going on in Emily's brain, I'm sure it'll be dealt with appropriately.
bucky_2300:
Yeah, this is actually just shitty writing of the "LOL SO RANDUM XD" variety that got tiresome after the second repetition. It's not insensitive to the mentally ill, it's not turning a character into a funhouse mirror version of herself, it's just bad writing. Which, if I'm frank, is getting far more common than it used to be. I'd be happy to see QC go back to the old thrice-weekly update schedule if it meant that it didn't go down the same road as SNL.
jwhouk:
Uh, yeah, right.
Of course, you could take the simpler route - a lot of her "issues" is because of what happened to her computer project.
JLM:
Two things:
1) Panel 4 Emily is the best Emily face.
2) I actually knew someone kind of like this when when I was in college. In probably the only moment she was ever serious with me, it was inferred that there was some serious trauma in her past that she wasn't capable of dealing with, so she decided to go full on weirdo.
