Fanboy and Goth Girl are both self-proclaimed outsiders.Fanboy started out being a self-proclaimed outsider due to the taunts he received when he was younger, but throughout the story he tries to make connections with some of the people in his school, even if those connections are in his mind. When he first “lost” Cal as a friend to the jocks, Fanboy met Kyra who filled that void. Then later in the novel Fanboy makes the statement, “Is this how it’s going to be, then? I get back Cal only to lose Kyra?...Why should I be doomed to having a single friend?” (Lyga, 277) Later as Fanboy was going to the party with Cal, he realized that the repartee in the car made him more of the group than an outcast as “the pecking order doesn’t just peck me. Cool.” (Lyga, 255) Kyra on the other hand seems to be consistent in her behavior to push people away with either the way she dresses to the shock value behavior displayed at the comic book convention.
