Which One is My Favorite Niece?

As this comic goes on and readership goes up, there's going to be an age old question...which one is your favorite niece? I thought about this question and I'm said to myself "Wow, I don't know...maybe I should go down the nieces and see which one I like..."

Well, we have Winter. She's a smart girl, so that gets a few points from me. Love the glasses look. But I don't like her attitude...I've seen too many of it in real life, and it sucks. Whenever a girl gets an attitude, I just let it run its course, there's no use trying to argue back or stop it...I'll waiting for a break in yelling so I can escape.

Autumn, what can I say about her. I love female artists, so that's cool. She's a walking jewelry box with her piercings and whatnot...I love piercings when done right, and in her case its done right...you know, because I drew them the way I like, ha

Spring, Spring, the outside girl. Loves to be outside and playing games, so she's fun. Tomboyish girls are so weird. I used to hang around one growing up, and I was constantly like "This isn't right...I should be playin this girl, not playing with her (just kidding, I don't condone playin girls unless she's playin you). They may be weird, but they are cool as hell, so it cancels each other out.

Summer. You got to admit, there's something attractive about girls that are always cheerful (if your into 14 year old black female cartoon characters, you perv) They can brighten your day whether your in any kind of mood, or if you hate them, you ENJOY hating them, so in a sense they still attract you to them. If your a conversationalist, then you love talking, so you're going to love Summer's motormouth. I'm weird though....I'm a motormouth myself, but long conversations annoy me...its kind of ironic.

But after all of the "analyzing" of the nieces, should I really have a favorite character. This comic has 5 main characters (Dark Spider and his 4 nieces in case you forgot somehow), so should one of them really be my favorite. Just take a look at some shows with a lot of main characters that are supposed to share the same focus.

-Family Guy is a good one. Have you noticed that Stewie has been getting a lot of air time and gags with this new 4th season. Wonder why? Because he's a favorite amongst the creators of the show, so they enjoy writing stuff with him in it. Meanwhile, Meg Griffin hardly gets air time (despite her being a lame character, she's still entitled to more)

-Dragonball Z is a very good example. Its been stated that Akira Toriyama (the creator of the show) loves the characters of Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo and Mr. Satan (well, besides Goku of course, that's a given). And guess what? They are featured way more often than the other characters like Yamcha, Tenshinhan, etc. We'll make a special case for Vegeta who is Toriyama's hated character and is prominently featured. Even though he gets screen time, his time is spent always being beaten up by villians or whining about being surpassed by his peers.

You see where I'm getting at? If I have favorites, I'll focus on them alot more than the other characters because I enjoy that character alot. I don't want to do that, I want to treat my characters equally. So that's why I don't have a favorite niece...or even a favorite character for that matter. Heck, not even Dark Spider (the character that is largely based on me) is my favorite character....not that I hate myself, I just try not to have favorites. I'll leave the favorites up to you guys.
