Amusing, but I find the logical consistency in the comic's world troubling.

1) A chocolate covered in a thin candy shell is unacceptable to the Candy Kingdom, but a wad of peanut butter covered in a thin layer of practice is acceptable in the Chocolate Kingdom? Now, normally, I'd think that the Chocolate people are more open-minded. . .but those Candy people sure don't appear to mind having flesh and blood homosaipiens ruling over them.

2) For that matter, Sweeto can't even properly be considered a chocolate, since at his core he's a nut. How could he be a part of the 'Chocolates' if less than 50% of his mass was chocolate?

3) I'll just assume that the Queen is wearing candy that looks like pieces of fruit. If that's real fruit she is wearing, we would be entering a world of confusing logical ley-lines that would draw images to make Escher dizzy.

4) How would the M&M ever possibly rise to the rank of Colonel without the secret of his choco nature ever becoming public knowledge. Have you ever smelled an M&M? Hold a bunch of them right under your nose. Smells like chocolate. Now, the Lolly Monarch clearly suspected something was up, but this still does not explain how Sweeto managed to keep his secret from his comrades.

5) Why is Lolly/Candy portrayed as having the more advanced civilization? Chocolate has been around far longer than candy. 'Candy' as depicted in this strip has only existed since (roughly) the mid-1800s when it became possible to produce bleached sugar in mass amounts. Chocolate, on the other hand, dates back thousands of years.

5) If everything in Lollytown is made of candy, how does the King trim his beard? What's the sewage system like? What happens when it rains?

Also, my avatar is mysteriously being stretched to a size too large. It's a 80x120 jpeg, and it's being stretched to 90x135. I can't save changes to my profile because of the E3 shaz.

We can't see your avatar anyway, but the settings are 90x120, which means that anything below 90 will be stretched proportionately. The height doesn't matter as long as it's under (or proportionately under) 120, but the width has to be 90 or higher.

1. The Chocolates attacked and at the very least Sweeto was spared. At worst, he was in on the attack. We don't know, we're not privy to that information. My guess is he was a traitor and deserved to die.

2. I think the Chocolates treat this like American Indians do. You have 1/16th or better? You're in.

4. Maybe his comrades sympathized with Sweeto. He was part candy after-all and mostly nut. He may have reasoned his way into their good graces and then used this access to spy and help plan the Chocolate attack. Also, perhaps he wore a candy scent to try to cover up his chocolateness.

5. Candy takes a higher level of technology to produce. They respect it because without it they are not possible. Humans are a relatively new species on this planet but I think we've got everything else beat.

My girlfriend went to school with the guy. Let's just say he's strange. And pretty fucking talented, of course.

It looks like I got my avatar to stop showing up.

And I'm keeping my 3AM style of counting. Everyone loves the number 5. Who didn't love those 5 multiplication tables more than all the others when you were a little kid?

EDIT: Also, MS Paint and the Calculator have disappeared from this computer. They are no longer in the System32 folder. That explains both my inability to make "normally" numbered lists and cromulently sized avatars.

I don't think it's fair to assume the candies have a more advanced civilization. A humanoid dictator and his wife sporting various fashion accessories in order to appeal to the candies ideology have enslaved a race of colored gaurds to seize power in Lollytown. Meanwhile, the chocolates have developed intricate subterfuge techniques and seem to have developed an egalitarian society which protects any from the brutal monarch, no matter what cream or goop rests on their insides.
