Finally caught up on this thread. I know it's probably been discussed at length but I wanted to add my two cents about the Chris comparison. I think she's a lot like Chris in that Cynthia seems to legitimately struggle to differentiate reality from fiction (referring to the Wogglebug as if he were a real being she was doing some sort of favor to by rewriting him, acting like she's running a successful franchise when in reality she's just a spastic screaming into the void, etc.). I think the difference between her and Chris is that Chris has actually enjoyed some degree of success (even if not for the reason he thinks he has achieved it); Cynthia has not, and never will, achieve any kind of success, whether ironic or not.
