I look at comics like this, and think that the guy and the girl must have a relationship, at least when it comes to the lobster’s attempts on his life, like Dib and Gaz from Invader Zim. Clearly Dib is fighting Zim in a struggle of terrestrial incompetence vs. extraterrestrial incompetence. However, incompetence is incompetence, and an inconvenience to her either way. In a similar way, I get the feeling that when stupid stuff happens she’s not looking for an explanation, she’s just upset that stupid stuff is inconveniencing her life and busting up her house.
Of course, this is coming from a guy who has a lobster with what appears to be a combustion-powered messenger bag launcher in his comic. Perhaps the whys aren’t that important in this case. Maybe sometimes I just want to draw an elaborate yet incompetent sequence of violence. Perhaps I watched too many Road Runner cartoons growing up.
