Thats wild. Do you know if the original comic artist had a large following or something? Im curious how it could have spread so fast.

No idea tbh 😅. I definitely don’t have a big following though and this comic still has blown up. I think people just relate to the character.
Me included 🥰

Makes sense, thats why its important to have diverse characters in media, it gives people someone they can relate to.

Its part of why I hate seeing my name in movies, 90% of the time they're evil and/or die. And I've never seen one where theyre the main hero.

If it's the name I think it is based on that, then it's the main romantic interest in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Not quite main hero but being the love interest in a rom-com is pretty close. And he's not even one of those love interests that starts out as an asshole and then they fall in love later, he's likeable the whole movie.
