You never know, I might be a girl.

GT, You never acted like this:

I'm An Emotional Idiot

I'm an Emotional Idiot
so get away from me.
I mean,
COME HERE.

Wait, no,
that's too close,
give me some space
it's a big country,
there's plenty of room,
don't sit so close to me.

Hey, where are you?
I haven't seen you in days.
Whadya, having an affair?
Who is she?
Come on,
aren't I enough for you?

God,
You're so cold.
I never know what you're thinking.
You're not very affectionate.

I mean,
you're clinging to me,
DON'T TOUCH ME,
what am I, your ****ing cat?
Don't rub me like that.

Don't you have anything better to do
than sit there fawning over me?

Don't you have any interests?
Hobbies?
Sailing Fly fishing
Archeology?

There's an archeology expedition leaving tomorrow
why don't you go?
I'll loan you the money,
my money is your money.
my life is your life
my soul is yours
without you I'm nothing.

Move in with me
we'll get a studio apartment together, save on rent,
well, wait, I mean, a one bedroom,
so we don't get in each other's hair or anything
or, well,
maybe a two bedroom
I'll have my own bedroom,
it's nothing personal
I just need to be alone sometimes,
you do understand,
don't you?

Hey, why are you acting distant?

Where you goin',
was it something I said?
What
What did I do?

I'm an emotional idiot
so get away from me
I mean,
MARRY ME.

BTW: The MP3 is hilarious, but I can't find a link.

We also had a Katchoo here for awhile, but I haven't seen her (I'm assuming it was a female, because there's a comic book female characer by that name) on the SE board for awhile. Last I saw her was on the Dominion 2 board. I wouldn't mind a little more estrogen on this forum.
*Katchoo forages under Narf's couch and finds a stale piece of cheeze that's nice and hard. Katchoo then pitches the stale cheeze and hits gregebowman square in the head*

There! Could a woman do that? I think not!


My apologies, Katchoo. Like I said, the only other name I've seen belongs to a character in the Strangers in Paradise comics. Good comic book; it's the closest to a soap opera I've read.

Wardad and General Woundwort, I am surprised at you. There is no reason why I could not be a girl, and actually, I think I should defend my right to be a girl if I want.

Yeah, SiP was really very good to start with, but after a while the author tried to retrofit loads of plot into a character driven comic and it started to get really silly. Suddenly everyone has known one another for ten years longer than they thought they had, and is a member of some elite underworld organisation or something stupid... Didn't enjoy it after that. I've seen the same thing happen with innumerable webcomics.
They start off as really enjoyable little comic strips, drifting along merrily with a few gags and some slow-but-steady character building, then suddenly the author gets a frenzied urge to reverse-engineer some huge epic backstory and complex plot and the whole thing goes to hell. GPF springs to mind. Exploitation Now was another prime example and (to a certain extent) Kevin and Kell, although I have more serious criticisms about that strip which I really can't be bothered with here.
1/0 did it and actually made the transition from frivolous to serious very well, but then it never tried to introduce backstory- it just (very self-consciously) introduced a bit of plot and meaning.

Incedentally, my brother and his wife have a (female) rabbit named Katchoo.

*dogscoff finally stops talking, then happens to look over at GT, who is sporting a sequin-covered red evening gown, size twelve 5-inch heels, full make up (including a thick layer of foundation over his unshaven face), huge false eyelashes and a feather boa. dogscoff runs from the room, screaming and gibbering and waving his arms in the air, his fragile mind warped forever. Well, until he can find a bar anyway.
