*** It wasn't even that, they broke up because she refused to LISTEN. At all. She couldn't even manage a general conversation on the topic of their potential future together. She wouldn't even let him state his own feelings. She also seems to think that storming out, even if she has to run home naked, automatically means she wins the discussion and he'll have to apologise to her. It's safe to say Hazel fails at relationships of any kind at this point.

*** Exactly : even when she's being dumped, we're supposed to root for her, while she just brings this on herself and fails to even recognize it. An abrasive, immature and completely self-centered person who doesn't give anything back while cheerfully taking all an SO has to offer is someone you're glad to see the back off, not mooch after and "still feel strongly for", even in breakups do always hurt. YMMV, of course, but I think there is simply ''nothing'' in her to love, either for Zach or for the reader. Thea is a Woobie, Hazel is just a JerkAss that fails to even be amusing. And as of today and the [[MoralEventHorizon event with the goldfish]] I am officially not reading the comic anymore.

** Hazel. Really, without her mom and her friends to run damage control on her constant poor decisions she may very well have been dead by now. She certainly would have been broke, jobless and homeless.

* JerkSue : The author probably aims at JerkWithAHeartOfGold, but Hazel has progressively more and more of Jerk traits, and little to no Heart at all. Her relationship is based - on her part - solely on sex, she constantly fails to offer any support, feeling or pretty much ''anything'' to her friends and boyfriend other than the sight of her being drunk. And still she has all these people who care for her, the perfect Wish Fulfillment boyfriend and happy coincidences to help her pull through. As the comic progresses, the number of times other characters [[InformedAbility say out loud]] how they are friends and care for her increases greatly, too.
