** Tropers/{{Kereea}}: For me it was just the treatment of Therese aka Anthony's wife. I'm okay if your childhood sweetheart gets married-that's life. I'm okay if she's a bit of an IceQueen. So when you have Anthony trick her into getting pregnant by saying he'll stay home with the kid because she doesn't want to leave her career and doesn't want to be a mother yet anyway, but only saying so because he thinks she'll have a change of heart as soon as the baby pops out due to motherly hormones and the fact that she's justifiably upset that no, he's going to try and get her to stay home is treated as a sign that she's a CompleteMonster, I'm pissed off. Then after she's had the kid and everyone's bitching about how she's not motherly, Anthony has the whole "I never had anything to fight for!" line in the "going after" mentioned above (okay, so maybe he and Therese are on the rocks, but he also has that baby girl you begged her to have! Isn't that worth anything?) and the only conclusion I could come to was the one of the WMG page that says he was only with Therese to make Lix jealous and then he married her when Lix left because she was the only option he had. Oh, and Anthony's kid is never mentioned outside of when Therese left Anthony. So the kid was just a plot device to get Liz and Anthony together via demonizing of Therese.

* philipthepatsy: FoxTrot is one of my favorite comic strips, but there was one story arc that really made me dislike Paige. In it, Paige gets an "autographed" photo by her favorite boyband, [[N'Sync The BackSync]] [[BackstreetBoys Boys]] (autographed is in quotation marks, because Andy said there was only one signature of the band's name, meaning that, more than likely, none of the band members signed it at all.) Paige obsesses over the stupid thing, until Andy convinces her that she'll watch it while Paige is at school. Of course, this being Foxtrot, Quincey escapes from his cage and eats it. Paige comes home and throws massive tantrums, leading Andy to do special favors and spoil her for forgiveness, such as buying her expensive things and give her shrimp cocktail for dinner. That is, until Andy gives Paige a bunch of copies of the autographs from the mail, saying that Paige must have sent in a dozen requests (and furthering the fact that it's probably just a forum letter). In the end, Paige asks for forgiveness, which Andy gives her without any arguement or disdain. While it's nice for Andy not to hold a grudge, she shouldn't have broken down and spoiled Paige like that. It's pretty out of character for Andy, who would have normally given a long lecture to her kids if anything bad were to happen. The fact that she did all of those nice things for Paige is just poor parenting. Sure, she promised to watch over the stupid "autograph", but she's only human. It's not like she can watch the damn thing at every waking moment. Sure, she could have kept it out of Quincey's reach, but even so. Paige may be a BrattyTeenageDaughter, but she's hardly ever a spoiled brat.

* Tropers/CandyCane14: (sigh)....I hate how in the comic version of ''ComicStrip/USAcres'', Wade Duck's the pointless ChewToy [[DesignatedMonkey 'for the Lulz']], but I'm trying to explain how a December arc was spoiled because Wade was the pointless ChewToy. The Christmas arc from 1988 (2012 in Garfield.com). Most of the strips in the arc were cute and funny but Wade's role in this was sickening. In one strip, Wade looked up the chimney to see if Santa's there. [[http://www.garfield.com/usacres/vault.html?yr=2012&addr=121219 And then this happens.]] [[SarcasmMode Oh, ha...ha...ha.]] Next Wade goes up the roof to see if Santa's there and Santa and the reindeer haven't landed yet (even though in the very last strip, we saw his bag go down the chimney!) and one of the reindeer lands on Wade, crushing him....[[SarcasmMode ha..ha, my sides are splitting.]] Not! O.K., there's two things majorly wrong with this. One, having an innocent character like Wade, get hurt for the hell of it. [[DudeNotFunny Not Funny!]] It would've been much more funnier if it happened to someone else who deserves it, like say [[{{Jerkass}} Roy]]. Two, the former ruined the whole last strip [[http://www.garfield.com/usacres/vault.html?yr=2012&addr=121225 (which they didn't bother to recolor at all) of the Christmas arc!]] If the Christmas bag fell on Wade [[NegativeContinuity wouldn't the other animals already know that Santa's here?]] And they recently made the Chimney so it left a huge plothole! Also how come the Strip [[OutOfFocus doesn't have Wade hang out with the other gang except for the first and last strip of the Christmas arc?]] He wasn't even [[LovableCoward acting afraid through the whole arc]] so there was no point of why Wade didn't participate helping them, make the Chimney or figuring out what to leave for Santa. And the final strip of this arc was so heartwarming too...they shouldn't have Wade get hurt the worst out of anybody in the comic(even Roy!) and (if they decide to make new strips) they should tone it down like they did in the cartoon version.
