Questionabley Discontent

Jeph Jacques comic Questionable Content has been subjected to a lot of scrutiny over the last week or so. Mostly due to his finally addressing the issues of one of the main characters. Many people have said they found this current storyline touching and stuff.

I deal with things really wierdly. For example I didn't cry at my own grandmothers funeral it wasn't that I didn't love her it just didn't really affect me I guess. But I watched the movie Kolya and at one point a small child is crying because he misses his dead grandmother and that brought tears to my eyes. Watching someone else deal with grief over their loss. I'm not really sure why that is but there is a lot of really wierd stuff about me so it's probably a little to convoluted to analyse each part (symptom?) seperately.

But this storyline didn't affect me at all despite it's relevancy to my life. I'm not sure why not, maybe it's just the medium of comics? Maybe movies are easier to be affected by due to the obvious human qualities. But I have been deeply affected by books as well so it can't be that simple. I don't think Jeph Jacques has done a particularly bad job, it just hasn't really felt natural to me I guess. It hasn't felt genuine, which is not to say that it isn't genuine just that I haven't connected with it on a personal level.
