True, true, still satisfying for her to be told off though, by TWO of her friends even in Linton and Shauna!

I think my only real competition is Ichabod, the Optimistic canine.

Coelasquid says the current arc is close to wrapping up in Manly Guys Doing Manly Things, and I have to say I'm glad to hear it. This latest plot arc lost me entirely, and I'm hoping it goes back to one shot jokes about overmasculinized video game characters trying to find employment in the real world again.
Evil Inc:

That was me like 2 years ago, which is why I stopped reading.
Understandable, I could stand Lightning Lady breaking up with Keegan, I could stand Captain Heroic accidentally cheating on Miss Match, but this...this is just too much.
And mine as well I think.
Kill Six Billion Demons
Just caught up on this, and fuck me is it awesome. Gorgeous artwork, amazing world-building, musical drinking contests, demons, angels. I want an animated adaptation, no, I *need* an animated adaptation.

Well, they're not me, so I'll go with both being wrong.

And still making thinly veiled self-referential "go fuck yourself if you don't like it you're a sexist misogynist manchildpig" comics about it to boot, so he knows. He's aware.
He's... Charlie.

For our friends at home:He's... Charlie.
Above: the most literal illustrative example of a straw-man fallacy in action.
It's astonishingly ironic. This particular character, before the tone shift, was a lampoon of an annoying, blinded-by-adoration fangirl. Now we're supposed to take her seriously as a straight-played protagonist. Despite the fact that her blinkered, unreasoning zealotry hasn't actually changed - we're supposed to sympathize with her now as she's so put upon by those evil penis-carriers who dare express that they liked It-girl (read: Sinfest) better before it became the dreck it is.
But what do I know, I'm the patriarchy, right?
Wow...he's making one of those awful people who ban people for their opinions...the good guy? WOW not a day goes buy that I'm glad my obsessive mind allowed me to break free. Seriously Kisshin Asura-RELEASE YOUR MADNESS HOLD OVER HIM!
MAN Bad Machinery's current story-arch is all OVER the place.
I felt like I was getting whip-lash by Monday's strip. I can't tell if he's not sure how to end some of the earlier plot points, or all of these mini-arcs are coming together somehow.
Yeah I also feel if Ryan and Mrs. Lord should just nut up, realize being liked isn't the most important thing in the world, and do some proper ass discipline! But on the other hand I also DON'T want that to be the lesson of this arc, it feels too obvious. Also, how does this story count as a case? And when the fuck are they going to do actual mystery stuff again? I miss the mystery stuff!
Out of all the recurring jokes in C&H, this is the best.
Today/yesterday on Dumbing of Ages, we re-learn that Mary is still the worst person EVER!
It's not like Mary can prove anything and Becky has options for where to live (I wouldn't be surprised if Dina's parents got her an apartment just because she asked). If push comes to shove, they can just deny everything and toss Mary out on her ass for damaging student property (which she did).
