Dustin, 11/5/24

The thing about Dustin is that it's a perfect machine of hateability, in the sense that there isn't a single recurring character that I have any real warm feelings for. Dustin's sister Meg in some ways escapes my ire the most, because she has very little in terms of revealed personality and exists only to make rude comments about her brother and parents and occasionally be reprimanded for dressing too slutty. Today, however, we learn that her misanthropic attitude extends beyond her family to the human race at large, and frankly I would love to learn more about Doomer Goth Meg in future installments of this strip.
