However, the previous strip [[http://www.viruscomix.com/page474.html "The Line"]] had argued forcefully using Hitler's secretary that ignoring the horrible things people do around you was wrong, seriously undermining the easy dismissal of the problems of being friends with someone who eats humans.

* GrowingTheBeard: [[http://www.viruscomix.com/page573.html Hallway]] which marked the first time PHG and Ethel met. The first real friendship developed by two different reoccurring characters, it represented a turn for a more continuity heavy, ensemble heavy, story telling that was more character based and a fair bit less cynical.

** This is more true for the earlier Subnormality strips, such as [[http://www.viruscomix.com/page430.html "Mrs. Smith is a Nasty Piece of Work"]] and [[http://www.viruscomix.com/page433.html "The Atheist Apocalypse"]] (Winston had much fewer fans earlier on, had more of a bitter outlook, etc.) as well as Abnormality (Cracked opinion columns are generally written in a somewhat in-your-face style, and Winston rightly or wrongly perceived that he needed to appeal to the LowestCommonDenominator based on what he observed of the Cracked reader base). Newer strips tend to be more subtle, and in the comments section Winston seems to have adopted the policy of never outright dictating how readers should interpret any given strip.
