Yep. Much of my dislike for the character might fade away if all this was going on in the background. But they've dominated the entire plot for weeks, when there are so many more established characters I'd prefer to be checking in on. It's like when some stranger begs your attention in the street and you can't shake them off. If they're annoying to start with, it's exacerbated when you've got somewhere else you'd really rather be.

Aside: been a while since I was awake early enough for the comic not to have updated yet.

Shjade:
I find it odd how many people are saying their dislike of Tilly is largely due to comics about her not involving other members of the cast, as if that has any impact on the character or the arc.

I'd like to see more of Faye & Bubbles' relationship development to find out where it ends up going, too, but that doesn't mean I'm going to judge the rest of the cast by "are they Faye & Bubbles' relationship?" That would be just plain Tilly silly.

Why is it odd? If I went to see a band and they spent half their set playing slow ballads instead of the usual fast, fun tunes I like them for, does that have no impact on my enjoyment of the concert?

That's not the same thing? It's the same band, just different music.

This would be like deciding the opening act is bad just because their existence means you have to wait a little longer to hear the band you really came to see, regardless of whether or not they perform well. Kinda unfair to them.

I've been waiting for this joke. Thank you.

Anyway, still no comic today. Has Jeph given any indication of why elsewhere?
