It is assumed, by all of the odd comments at TNI, that everyone who makes fun of the comic takes it too seriously. How is that any different from all of the people here who know so much about the Shortpacked characters and obsess over these stories? I'm always surprised at how quickly the comment count reaches over 100 for the story-based strips posted here. I’m just talking about how seriously people seem to take these comics.

The problem here isn't Asperger's, it's Assburgers Syndrome. Asperger's Syndrome is a form of high-functioning autism consisting of difficulty picking up on social cues, which sometimes results in sufferers acting inappropriately. Assburgers Syndrome is a form of low-brainpower douchebaggery consisting of 15-year-olds on the Internet finding out about Asperger's Syndrome and thinking "Aha! I like acting inappropriately, therefore I must have Asperger's, therefore I have a Condition, therefore I'm totally justified in acting inappropriately because you can't help it if you have a Condition amirite?", which sometimes results in chuckleheads trolling message boards and calling people "fags" during games of Counterstrike. Neither has a known cure, but Assburgers can sometimes be mitigated with hard punches to the mouth. What we have here is confusion over medical terminology.

What's weirder, having fun at the expense of a weekly comic strip or actually caring enough about these Shortpacked characters to know all about them?

Unfunny, arrogant obsessives who dissect a three panel comic. I want to assume it's mostly out of jealousy, but... urghhh. They're the worst. <: / Reading the comments @ TNI nearly gives me a panic attack over how awful toy collectors are. Unfunny, arrogant obsessives who dissect a three panel comic.
