If any research is going around, hello there. Hope your dedicated to make a youtube video about this assumed forgotten topic, but just to do the job to ya; this deserves a look back. This comic is hysterically accurate. The character traits even including NSFW elements was actually suprising because it got interesting to its twist. The comic is ridiculous and reason being, is because it takes you with the same elements as the show (as reading the comic). The characters are literally (if not) very accurate in both reaction, diologue, and humor. Everything you know about anyone in the comic actually (Star and Marco included) are quite literally the same. This is almost done so well as if it's an actual episode, and the scary part isnt even the NSFW. It's the fact that the writting is done so well that it's not even cursed or anything like that. It's almost a legitament romance/plot comic and it actually would be worth reading even with the "disgusted" NSFW scenes. To carry out, the intentions of this comic is clear that the writting is quite fairly done legitimately, with elements more than just NSFW, but alot of things like the development of their characteristics. This is almost like a "oh you utterly dont mind shipping starco" moment because you KNOW the characters. It's something that even Daron Nefcy heard about which was HILARIOUS. Remind you, daron has worked with various "artistic designs" but nothing that's actually been intended to be NSFW (sorta), but with the writting of the comic, it's actually ridiculous.
I think the last reply here was April 2020, so suprised that some people now and then do revisit this topic (or even the comic itself). I actually wanted to look more into the comic because I dont remember all of it. For people who are innocent ofcourse arn't gonna understand besides freaking out to only one certain thing, and that's kinda understandable, but these elements literally just makes it "realistic" because that's like putting a show from Cartoon Network into Adult Swim for instance. Anyway, the comic is ammusing more than anything else and has wanted me to react more to comics like these. There are not many comics like these once, and for some reason this has somehow got me into "Down to Earth" which I recommend for the sake of those who are just as ammused. (No the comic is not NSFW as of 11/19 at least). Anyhow, that's it. You actually read my whole paragraph holy crap.
Props to you. See you when svtfoe season 5 or reboot comes out in like 10 years.
