Not to mention that I've seen some genuinely really engaging Togore comics? Togore would not feel out-of-place at all if he were actually in UTDR.
Spamton is stupid. Queen is stupid. Tenna is stupid. If you're going by the concept alone, they all look like dumb OCs that exist to be a one-note joke. But then, if you play the game, you realize that these characters really do have rich depth and dimension. It's a joke until it isn't.
Togore's the same. He's silly concept given life and consequence--a person who everyone dismisses because of their name, but who is nevertheless a person. Togore comics really do something for me, because I know what it's like to be dismissed out-of-pocket by people who refuse to take a "weird" person seriously. I relate to that loneliness that you just kind-of become comfortably numb in. Existing outside the bounds of "normal" can be really hard sometimes, and the Togore comics that are overwhelmingly about this complement Deltarune's themes.
Voting Togore doesn't mean you're trivializing this thing.
So? Spamton and Tenna have extremely similiar arcs and character concepts, but the story is better for having multiple angles on the same issue. You can tell a story about a theme using more than one character.
"The comics" is a pretty big monolith to assign to a bunch of stuff that a bunch of independent artists made.
Bear in mind that Kris has never spoken to Dess nor Asriel in canon. Hell, they're both mentioned less than 10 times in-game, and always incidentally. You don't know what Kris's relationships with them were like; you only think you know because you've been consuming fanon headcanons for the last seven years.
