I think their effort to fit in CoD today is a bit over the top, but it's a nice thought. Maybe it's the absurdity of this character that appeals to me. I don't take Tilly too serious, so I can really enjoy them. They are just a comic character after all.
Can't wait for tomorrow to see where Jeph will take this.

Comedy is pain, and Tilly is an unending source of it so far.

Tilly's outfit is not your typical coffee shop outfit, but then again, CoD is not your typical coffee shop.

Tilly's attempt at 'casual clothing' today is so strange and ill-fitting in so many ways that I'm suspecting that Jeph created her to be an 'Alien Amongst Us', someone whose social instincts and prior normal cultural background is so different from that of the regular cast that we can learn more about them by seeing them through their puzzled eyes.

Wait a minute, that would mean that Brontdyn Birch is really (click to show/hide)

--- Quote from: Tova on 05 Dec 2017, 15:18 ---Bottom line: don't be so quick to airily dismiss the opinions of an entire community. Especially the community whose existence helps to ensure that you can continue to read and discuss the very comic we're all enjoying.

But I find it disturbing how recent society polarises itself so readily and so vehemently on so many topics, to the detriment of its own good, and this is such a good mirror of that.
--- End quote ---
This extreme polarization on pretty much any topic is nowhere happening as badly as in the US though, undoubtedly a side effect of the fact that there are really only 2 parties (which I have always found a dubious system as a native Dutchman).
To be honest, US society is already in a (not so) civil war, and so far nobody is "winning" (maybe extreme conservative Christians and big corporations?) and everybody is losing.
Edit: edited as I realized I didn't even believe it myself to be true...

Social engineering, methinks.
And, let's be honest, a quick read of the red part of the Christian Bible would indicate that there should be quotation marks around the word; extreme conservative "christians".
There's a lot of tenets being ignored there. Some quick examples:
Matthew 7:1-5
Romans 12:18
Galatians 3:28
For those curious, I'd recommend The Complete Jewish Bible translation as it's translated directly from Greek to Modern English (it's meant for both Messianic Jewish and Christian services).
Perfectly Reasonable:
I find the whole pronoun business becomes much easier if I just close my eyes and imagine Tilly with two heads. I believe that Jeph has been drawing Tilly obsessively (like Claire before she came into the comic) so we are stuck with them for the indefinite future. What I have against Tilly is that they are sucking the narrativium out of more worthy characters.
