The rest has just been "raep raep raep oh god my life is sinking into a quagmire of destruction". I also never even understood why it seemed liked EVERY dude's thoughts affected her reality, when it was only supposed to apply to that jock she magicked up.
It gets lots of attention because there are so few TF comics of any kind, and the art is pretty good. If there were several comics of similar quality and the others had less bleak writing, or I dunno, some process maybe? Then this one would likely be paid far less attention.

I agree the story's too depressing to be fun, but wish-gone-wrong is basically Spells R Us' schtick, so that's to be expected. It'd be more obvious if they tossed in the lecherous old wizard in a bathrobe who runs the SRU store.
