Yeah. Between this and the 9 Chickweed Lane breakup over not
breaking up it's like late spring has inspired cartoonists to disrupt
longrunning emotional balances. (I'm more interested in Candorville
and how this works out.)

The difference is, Candorville is presenting good reasons for both non-idiot
characters to refused to admit what they both know.

The arc starting with the hilarious Monday gag strip through
the Saturday denouement of revealed passions has wittily
been titled "Balance Transfers" by Darrin.

Not all cartoonists, looks like Brad and Toni are ready to do the
deed over at Luann! Then there's Francis and Marcy freshly
devirginized over at PvP . . .

Is there a particular reason for this....ummm.....focus on comic strip
characters "doing the deed"?
Given that few....if any....of the strips discussed in RACS involve
characters drawn in the act, there won't be anything to see if any of the
above characters actually do go down that road.

What is PvP? I just looked through the lists at comics.com, gocomics.com,
the Seattle PI and the Houston Chron, and I don't see anything beginning
with P that would be abreviated that way.

I see you've forgotten the famous Dilbert uncurled-tie incident.

I gave the strip a shot, but just couldn't get into it. I know lots of
strips define their characters in terms of the esoteric little worlds
they live in (Tank M.-> sports, 9CL-> the artiste community,
Questinonable Content-> the hipper than thou new wave community, etc.),
but the gaming community just seems so utterly pointless and
self-absorbed. An extended power blackout, and these people would be
catatonic. At least the other cited made-up worlds involve actual human
interaction.

You might try it again. I can't recall a recent arc that focused on
gaming....electronic or otherwise. Unless you count the time they played
paintball as a team-building exercise.

Though a flashback, there's also Rikk and Rumi working towards
their first time in "Fans!" in another step towards solidifying the
Rikk-Allisyn-Rumi thing ("threesome" doesn't seem intimate enough to
describe them); here she "feels out the wood" after a night of
spooning!:

I will overlook the gag potential inherent in the subject and
instead ask what the smallest, most obscure niche that there's
a comic that's commonly available regarding.
I'd rewrite that sentence, but it's kind of a masterpiece of
awkwardness that I'm a little proud of. Sort of a "fart the
elevator" sentence.
Further, the group the comic is ostensibly about can't be
fictional.
I'll start with one that's easy to top: Sally Forth is about
aging baby boomers with kids (group size must be in the tens
of millions).

Retail depicts people who work in retail. Oh, wait, that's 100s of
millions, if you count the ones who quit ...
Get Fuzzy is about an advertising guy who never leaves his apartment
except to work or run errands. That's a very small group, I suspect,
since most ad people I have known live in trendy bars and at
ballparks, marinas and golf courses, and only go home to change
clothes. Or maybe that breaks the "fictional" rule, as would born-
again Christian cavemen.
Arlo and Janis depicts a couple that is still sexually active after 20
years of marriage ... wow, this parsing between niche demographics and
totally fictional characters is HARD!

The Knight Life is about syndicated African American cartoonists with
Swedish wives.

Kevin and Kell is about an extended family of anthropomorphic rabbits,
wolves, foxes, hedgehogs and bats.

That's probably a winner. Perhaps we should eliminate
cartoons that are about the cartoonist, since that's
likely to be a population of one (or a few if we count
the rest of the household).

Hey, I work in advertising (but not the cool kind of advertising), and
sometimes it feels like I never leave my apartment except to work or run
errands.
"Get Fuzzy" is pretty much the story of my life, except I don't have a
dog, and my cat is a little more easygoing...and can't talk.

Where in the archive are they introduced? The early comics seem to
bear no resemblance to the current arc.

Who? Rumi was there from the start, and Allisyn was introduced
(fully, a brief glimpse in the first storyline) in The Most Dangerous
Game, both in Book 1.
The early comics seem to
>bear no resemblance to the current arc.
No kidding . . .
Anyway, this all happens immediately after the main events in "The
Ways the World Ends," Book 5 . . .

I suspect that group is in the high 10^5 to low 10^6.
There are plenty of obscure groups with webcomics,
though the gaming / fandom community seems to
have a disproportionate number.
Plywood is about Second Life, for example.
