Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Difference between revisions

* Chris Hazelton, author of ''[[Misfile]]'', lampshades fan reaction to the comic's resident Scrappy, Missi's, rescue from the heap in [http://www.misfile.com/?page=1016 this strip].

** She's still getting in the way of Ash and Emily's relationship, so [[Die for Our Ship|she's not out of the woods yet]].

* Mike from ''[[Something*Positive]]''. While still quite prone to forays into dumbass territory, he has become a much wiser, more mature, and more decent person than he was in his first appearance. He has handled the pressures of being a family man with amazingly few missteps, and he was depicted as dealing with a stint working fast food with surprising grace. When you consider that most of the strip's antagonistic characters either stay antagonistic or [[It Got Worse|sink to new lows]], his evolution as a character is remarkable.

** Similarly, Kharisma, whose self-absorption, vanity, and contempt for others had her squarely in the scrappy zone from her first appearance. She's [[Break the Haughty|suffered quite a bit since then]], but in the process she's gained quite a lot of sympathy from the readers. As [http://www.somethingpositive.net/swst06142011.shtml the author put it:] "I have to say I'm surprised by how many people actually look forward to Kharisma strips and more stunned it's not to see her suffer."
