Commentary
No, seriously. The pizza isn't a metaphor for anything specific.
The scenario of someone going to complain about _____ at a place where people who like _____ congregate is inspired by a number of situations, and is something I thought of over a decade ago when "_____" would have been EGS itself, but this isn't meant to be limited to any one thing.
I wish it was limited to just one thing. We could live in a world in which this only happens with Star Wars, and we would pay tribute to George Lucas for attracting such arguments to that one corner of everything. Instead it happens in some form or another with pretty much anything one can have an opinion about, ranging from the relatively trivial to the serious.
I don't really like explaining this in the commentary, but I've got a few people after me for the secret of the pizza, and I want to be clear that there is no secret of the pizza.
(The actual secret of the pizza is it would have been bagels had I not thought of more things that could be said about pizza)
(Because I like bagels)

2019-07-01 21:10:48 +0000 UTCI find ajvar works really well as a sauce for that. like, put ajvar, salami and havarti on a costco 'naan', and it is eerily similar to my memory of how pizza pops taste.

2019-07-01 04:44:36 +0000 UTCwhaaa? have you not tried just putting pizza sauce and cheese on a bagel and microwaving it or maybe tossing it in the oven?

2019-07-01 03:47:03 +0000 UTCHave you had Bagel Bites? It's literally pizza on bagels.

2019-06-30 19:58:52 +0000 UTCFor the record, bagel pizza doesn't really work well. It's basically just bread on bread. :/ It could be different if bagels were made with a particular style of bread. I'm not sure I have the right term, so example: pretzel pizza, made by substituting pretzel dough for pizza dough, but otherwise making it like a normal pizza, could possibly work well. On the other hand, if you just tried taking a normal pizza and tying it in knots before cooking it, that probably wouldn't work so well. ;)

2019-06-30 17:20:54 +0000 UTCSo if someone is looking for an argument, it's a much better option (at least in their minds) than going to the Argument Clinic where you have to pay to argue, you might get some misdirected abuse, and you'll end up arguing regarding whether you've paid to argue. Next thing you know, you'll be suggesting that people who want to argue should join a debate club. But that doesn't work, because if you're a member of a debate club, you're going to be expected to *win* occasionally, and OMG, I'm literal trash at arguments, so it's much better to take an argument I can't possibly win to somewhere I couldn't possibly win even if I had a winable argument, so that I have something to blame for the fact that I never win that isn't just I suck. Because I can't really handle how badly I suck and I don't want to think about it.

2019-06-30 17:16:21 +0000 UTCNow I'm remembering that issue of the _Herbie_ comic from back in the Sixties. Dracula is sent to Earth with a pair of witches by the devil, to raise Heck in the modern world. However, he discovers pizza. The witches go for the bagels. :-)

2019-06-30 11:44:38 +0000 UTCBlargh. I just like bagels. Pizza was definitely the right choice, then.

2019-06-30 03:58:04 +0000 UTCSo, the Pizza is just a metaphor for "something that someone complains about in a something place. Like people who complain about video games at an arcade. Or people who complain about Harry Potter at a Bookshop. Or people who complain about fur at a clothing shop, even if said shop doesn't sell real fur. The thing is, most people at those places already fully support those things. So all the complainers are doing is just annoying those people and undermining their argument by making themselves seem overly annoying and unreasonable. Which is more likely to make people fight back. whereas, if Kitty were to stand outside the pizza shop and calmly had out fliers which told people about the health dangers associated with pizza (real or not), she would help her point a lot more. Instead, people just like to fight. People are weird.

2019-06-30 03:55:27 +0000 UTCNot to be that guy... but if it were bagels, somebody would probably decide that means the real secret is antisemitism

2019-06-30 03:30:34 +0000 UTC"But what kind of bagels?" "Everything bagles!" Booyah! Actually I've had Asiago and Jalepeno bagles before and they're good too if you like a bit of heat.

2019-06-30 03:18:36 +0000 UTCWhat would be cool is that, in the next panel, Kitty keeps repeating her mantra, Ashley pauses a beat, then in her best Tarantino, says, "I reject your hypothesis." , then walks back into the pizza parlor, closing the door behind her.
Joshua Brumley
2019-06-30 03:11:21 +0000 UTC...please don't let Kitty make that face in panel 3 ever again. That's terrifying!
