[QUOTE="eryndel, post: 4770015, member: 13120"] Frankly, I'm not sure if your question is entirely fair. It's much like saying "I saw a couple episodes of Buffy and just don't get what's so cool about it." or "I had a three hour layover in the Phoenix airport and really don't see why people love Arizona." People love it because they see in it something that you don't. Whether that's because of the sample of strips you've used to make your decision, or the underlying nature of the webcomic doesn't appeal to you, it really doesn't matter. That said, to answer your question and turn this thread into a OotS tribute thread instead of a "why bother" thread, I started relatively late to the scene (around episode 300 or so). I read five of them and felt like there was something interesting there, but I didn't really have a clue what was going on. (I think this was around the time that Haley couldn't talk right.) So I went back and started from the beginning. It took a while, and like others said I came for the humor riffing off the weirdness of the rules, and stayed for the character development. I have my favorites... I used to really like V until very recently, and Belkar used to annoy me until very recently. Some times it's really funny, sometimes not so much. But all in all it's an enjoyable tale that keeps me reading. Others will have their own take, and I'm certain many don't like OotS. However, those who don't typically don't get involved in the few threads that come up about the comic.... Fortunately, there's plenty of room on this board. [/QUOTE]
