The Grey Area
This, right here, is exactly why I want to maintain a healthy grey area between the self-reflexive and the metacomcal. Sluggy Freelance, for all that it descends into soap opera on occasion, has wonderful moments like this one:
Is this a commentary on metacomical effects or is it a defense against them? Does the irony of the character's objection to "breaking the fourth wall" mean that she's repairing that wall or further destabilizing it? At this stage, I really don't know.
