Comics Zachified?

Post by flyonthewall »

I tried looking through the plethora of posts but couldn't find anything related to this.

Is it just me or are the SMBC comics lately featuring guys with shortish red hair?

Zach, are you including yourself in the comics as characters you can see yourself as?

Maybe he's just running out of brown pixels.
Police said they spent some time working out if they could charge the man with being armed with a weapon, as technically he was armed with part of a fish.

I always just kind of figured that Zach defaulted to orange because he had orange hair. Though if this is a self-insert I think Zach may have a fundamental misunderstanding of how Mary Sues are supposed to work.

Then again, perhaps he's just Mary Sue'd Kelly, in which case I think he's nailed the Mary Sueing. Or then again, perhaps I also have fundamentally misunderstood how it's supposed be done.

This isn't a new phenomenon; he's been inserting red-haired pseudo-Zachs into comics for years.
