It was actually a mestake in one question, namely: "Are your characters financially independent or are they students/younger?" 'financially independent' answer leads to my comic, while the other is the right one: they are students and they still live in their parent's housus. A mixup could have been because they have jobs, but those are supposed to be part time jobs (although it may not look like that).
No connection between McVille and mcDuffies, i guess. McDuffies got it's name after mcDonald's, and I suppose that's pretty different from how McVille got it's name.
There are major diferences between them, but I guess they were not included in questions.
Sometimes I think the "Anthropology" part of this is the study of how these threads devolve into five separate topics . . . and if it's not, it should be.
If I were actually taking a real anthrpology class at the university I'd probably do a study of forums at some point. They're a rather unique community, the only real world thing that comes close is the bathroom wall. Forums are coed though, and that alone makes a huge difference.
