Don’t forget, if you want to leave a comment, don’t accidentally put it in the “transcription” box! There’s been some nice thoughts written there that I can’t post because they’re not actually comments. /:)
Oh, man, I posted a comment the other day, and it was a long one, and it never showed. I opted not to rewrite it. I bet it put it in the Transcription section…
Yeah, I think yours was one of em. I felt bad because you said you liked Marlene as a character but disliked her personally, and I was worried you might think I didn’t approve it because of that or something
Nah, I’ve e-mailed you in the past and you seemed like more of a… well, level headed and mature person than that. I can, however, completely believe I’m a total fool who posted in the transcript box because I chose not to pay attention.
I’m not sure I understand Cleo’s reaction here. Is it “so what you’re saying is that we’re not worth making an effort with, ergo fuck you?” Is it “so you’re using us to blunt the trauma of being cool, ergo fuck you?” Why not instead read it as a compliment; that Ivy+Marlene+Cleo are less vicious than her other friends; that she’s fallen in with bad company, but can still acknowledge ‘good people’ when she finds them? Is there more to this than I’m seeing?
What is this thing called a “joke?” Are you saying that the characters sometimes act in a so-called “humorous fashion?” Mysterious-er and mysterious-er. I must delve deeper.
I may only understand this because I am an *extremely* hateful person, something I’m not proud of and am trying to fix, but I feel like Nikki is just one of those people who you can hate, on sight, for no reason at all, except that every movement and sound she makes infuriates you to your very core. Which is kind of hard to convey in comic form, and I think that Magnolia has done a lovely job of it, but to people with less hate in their hearts it might not come across right.
I do this comic for free, but if you like it and have a little extra to throw my way, I'd very much appreciate it.

Maybe you should make the transcription thing a different page?
I’m fiddling with it, I tried to disable it but I’m not sure it worked. Still not at all fluent in wordpress.
It’s still there!
Well not the reaction I was expecting!
Marleeeene. D:
I like how her eyes are just black dots 😀
P.S. when i try to go to the first comic, its not the first, so i tried the sophomore link, nothing….. *eyes of despair* what do i do! /.___.\
I don’t have all the archives up yet, since I just moved to WordPress. I’ll have them all up ASAP!

The joke is that they hate her for no reason.

tl;dr? Hate Nikki on sight. Just do it.
