Sigh.

Maybe (GASP!) normal humans.
Buzz. Atsali spotted Young Mister Swooshbangs McJawline at high school. Since this isn't
Rosario + Vampire, there's no reason to assume that he's secretly a normal human at a high school for monsters.

Or cares for 'Sali enough to want what's best for her...
As I said before, there's being a good caring friend, and then there's railroading Atsali into a scenario of your own devising. In setting this up, does she have Atsali's best interests in mind, or her own? Or possibly they are one and the same? Hopefully we will find out this week (with limited holiday interruption).

I'll admit I'm a little biased. The last thing this strip needs, IMHO, is another male character.
Uh... what?
Perhaps you mean another male character who shows up briefly, then spends most of the rest of the time off stage...
Nope. I bolded the important parts for emphasis.
Right now the occasional male characters are the God of Alcohol, Monica's dog, Alan, Justin, Shelley's dad, and the recently booted to the curb Kevin Goatbeardface. If we got rid of Kevin, the rest would be fine in the limited roles they already play. Unless this new character plays out a lot differently than I am fearing, I don't think the addition of Broody McCoffeeshop is going to anything useful, exciting, or satisfying. I look forward to being proved wrong.
