It's interesting here that Alex is mocking Ryan for his "hypocrisy" in this situation, and I took it for granted that Alex was justified in doing so, but the comparison - unless I just don't understand it - doesn't seem warranted. How, for instance, is Spoony putting his opinions over the facts? How do the facts show that the characters aren't worthless or aren't devoid of meaning? And how, exactly, is Spoony judging without understanding the Hows and Whys?


I get the sense Ryan's a bit religious, as we've had references to that in the past, and Alex is needling him in that particular blind spot. Ryan's very much a black-and-white kind of guy, and Alex is his opposite.

Also, looking at the issue from another angle, the video game characters we see are part of a larger fate; there's a certain, uh, certitude to that situation, and while it's reasonable to react as Spoony did, one could easily see it as way more of a validation.

Wait, I don't know what I'm saying? Where's the next strip?
