it’s hard not to think hussie was maybe making some kind of commentary on the demographic of many of his readers by making jane a problem sleuth fan also. like even the part where she says “comics aren’t really her thing” despite having a poster of dr manhattan on her wall
like i’ve commented on this before in the contrast between dave and calliope but you’ll notice that in act 1 the character representing “mspaintadventures readers” was like an esoteric hipster who listens to weird music and is responsible for sweet bro and hella jeff then in act 6 the character who reads mspaintadventures is a suburban white girl heiress who watches parks and recreation and is so glad hussie just kept making more of the same comic instead of experimenting
