The Atlas is also goofy but it has that whole "Stay Puft Marshmallow Man" menacing smile thing going for it. The guy who drew that one up was obviously taken to the Nutcracker when he was a child... and he was screaming in terror the entire time.

That's actually very, very mean. Yes, Sonya and Yuki had a rivalry over Gary, but Sonya has decided that she is going to actively pursue Zii now - all she's doing is spiting Yuki and getting Gary (her former 'target') into trouble.
Which can only come back to bite her in the long run - wouldn't Zii be even less impressed with Sonya to find out how she has been treating her ex-girlfriend?
....Remind me again, who are we supposed to be supporting in this webcomic?
Zii is a sociopath, Yuki is psychotic, Sonya is a bitch, Gary is a spineless horn-dog..... I think that leaves Erik, who is as dim as a penny candle and almost certainly soon due to be royally screwed over by everyone else!
Just struck me who well thought out this actually is from Sonya's side. She's trying to get with both Gary and Zii, and no matter who she met, she would have pissed off Yuki. Granted, Zii would have been harder to manipulate, but still.
I'm a bit cureious about what she means by "maybe you can help" in the first panel? Is she referring to pissing off Yuki? Given that the stress is on "you", it kind of implies that Gary is special in his competence.

Personally, I support most of them. While the comic has no real hero, it has no real villain, either. Even if many of the actors have selfish motivations, you can still (most often) relate to them; this is stuff that probably happens all the damn time in real life (well, exept all the sex and unlocked doors, but you get what I mean).

I think it's supposed to be like reality TV where we thrive off of horrible people mistreating other horrible people.

Actually you know, Dillon isn't that bad. He lusts after Gary, but compared with all the other characters, he really just seems like a guy smitten with unrequited feelings. Unless I'm forgetting some horrible thing he's done (links please).
Gary's just a wimp, but that's no reason to despise him that much, Kiley made one (major) mistake and disappeared (unfortunately, she was an interesting character). I even feel bad for Yuki,and can't help wondering if she'd be more balanced if she hadn't been traumatized by daddy's tentacle porn comic when she was a sprout. I used to not like Yuki, but she seems like she's getting better, or at least really trying to.
I pretty much consider every other major character scum. I don't consider Erik a major character at this point. Zii: Scum. Didi: Getting Scummy. Sonya: She makes me like Zii a whole lot more. Matt: Wow guy, put it in your pants for five minutes. Amber is a psycho.

We don't have to support anyone; we just have to find them funny and interesting. It is somewhat analogous to Seinfeld where none of the four main characters were decent people*.
*Seinfeld even lampshaded this when Elaine met the bizarro-versions of Jerry and co. (who were good people )
I'll better stay away from the topic of Seinfeld but maybe the point of this and a surprisingly and shockingly large amount of current programs is... people watching it (or reading) can enjoy themselves being so much better people than these despicable characters on screen (or at least thinking of themselves as such).
Not that I really hate Ma3's cast that much but thinking of other shows... Well, Ma3 is really mostly... normal-selfish people thought some of them have weirder ticks.

The same goes to Magick Chicks! Witches that looks like female jerk jocks, manipulative magician or witch lady, racist vampire, and other characters that are jerks.

Well that's not good. And yet, he's still coming out ahead of the others in the least-sucky-person contest/category. That's both sad and funny.

There's usually someone who loses out in the most horrible person contest.

Unskilled writers use "said" and "asked".
Amateur writers use "whispered", "shouted" and "questioned"
Skilled writers use "demonstrated", "ejaculated", "murmured", "explained", "queried" and "demanded"
Masterful writers use "said" and "asked".
Dreamer Pony is by Akrim.elf.
Spoiler
Baiyan, God of Joy, by GryffonDurime, while the C.U.T.E Scardycat and Dreamer are by Tomb Raven.
If a woman who has competed with me over my boyfriend and is antagonizing me in my band comes over, I'd not really care who's house it was.
I mean, the only one who could take a stand and officially allow Sonya in would by Gary, and "taking a stand" isn't what he's best at.
This leaves it down to the fact that Yuki prioritized smacking Gary about rather than making sure Sonya didn't achieve her goals. Which is just plain stupid from a tactical standpoint.

Well you have to give Yuki some credit here. She's only smacking Gary with soft fluffy kitty-dolls
Yeah, this, pretty much. No intention of dealing harm, just the gesture. (Which is still dumb, mind you, but any damage is automatically reflected towards Gary by this universe.)
That being said... hiding from... what? (Ignoring the usual offscreen blindness of Zii, of course.)
(you people really need to get into the habit of posting links.)

Yuki and stupidity/foolishness go together like peanut butter and jelly.
