    Out of curiosity, why would Ally feel the need to message Adenike about unfollowing her? Admittedly, I don’t use Twitter as often as most folks, so I’m not sure what the etiquette is for that kind of situation. I understand Ally likes to be upfront on a lot of things, but it seems kind of peculiar she would message someone about unfollowing them.

    Also: I love Adenike’s dress, and her make-up is on POINT.

      The comics industry is very small so something such as an unfollow on Twitter would be noticed. Is it silly it is taken so seriously? Perhaps. But many take their follower counts very seriously, indeed.

        Thank you for explaining!

        It still seems kind of strange (to me) that Ally would still message Adeline about why she was unfollowing her. That seems like it could backfire in so many ways – not many could handle the critique of “I like your content but you post too much and instigate a lot of drama, so I’m unfollowing you” very well.

    Adeline seems to be a control freak and overzealous. Both points of view seem valid to me, but they both have flaws. Adeline seems to care about transgender issues, but has a self righteous attitude. Ally on the other hand seems to be focused on the quality of comics, but she doesn’t choose sides. Seriously, even Albert notices the tension between these two women.

    I’ve dealt with people like Adeline before. They’re convinced that everything that happens around them happens because of them. They go from day to day in one of two states: running with scissors, or holding a grudge. Add the particularly poisonous politics of this past half decade, and that can be a real bummer to be around.

    I rarely use Twitter. I prefer things to sit still a little longer so I can think about them. A tweet goes in and out of relevance about as fast as a moth flying towards a blowtorch flame. Zip…FWOOSH!…fluttercrunch. So I avoid it. Facebook is like living in a Superfund site 24/7, and coming to anyone’s negative attention there is like engaging in pica while living in a Superfund site. Most online politics is akin to digging into the protective clay cap over the St. Charles thorium tailings pile and rolling around in it.

    Just for my edification, is this bit of story arc inspired by the “Diversity and Comics” vs. Mark Waid kerfuffle?

      It is indeed inspired by the current cultural war in comics. We spoke about the actual fight for diversity in comics in our own comic starting way back in 2014. Now we’re seeing it come to a head in not only our story, but in the real world.

    Way to go Ally! Stand up to that snooty, self-absorbing, egotistical jerk. 🙂

    Good point! Maybe you’re right and Adeline has a bit–if only a small bit–of a reason to be miffed. Ally is so pragmatic…has she finally found what “too much” pragmatism is??

    As always, a nuanced, gorgeously-drawn and thought-provoking comic!

      Oh no this was supposed to go under C. Rose’s question, sorry!
