Week 57! (Patreon)

Next in the series of the couples of Furthia High, we have the second-most prominent couple in the comic, Campy and Connor. Like Kale and Eve's relationship, Campy and Connor's was also elaborated upon a fair amount in the Week 52 update, more so than the human and lemur. Connor and Campy's relationship was sort of intended to bring in a non-heterosexual couple into the mix, since those sorts of themes were absent in the Old Canon (and a lot of stuff back then compared to nowadays) and I myself was going through the phases of discovering my sexuality and dumb stuff like that.

To relate to Kale and Eve's description of their type of relationship, where they are very idyllic and happy, Campy and Connor's was one of trouble and drama and conflict, mainly in how Connor has the character flaws of being unbearably clingy and unintentionally selfish in his feelings, flaws that I found myself having very deeply at the time. This was intentional, to show off that most relationships are not the heavily-romanticized stuff you tend to find in most media, and that real life relationships commonly have problems like this between a couple. The other relationships in the comic are also somewhat mired at least a little by some sort of problem to also reflect that; even Kale and Eve's isn't 100% perfect considering Kale's personal problems and Eve's tendency to involve herself in others' affairs.

Campy and Connor's relationship is probably the biggest (actual) relationship to have caused drama within the comic itself, with Arc 11 - The Research Paper bringing that all to a big climax, with Campy finding himself deeply conflicted about his feelings towards Connor (and Kale) and what he should do, as well as the fight between Connor and Bruce. The whole thing perhaps ended a little TOO cleanly, with Campy still accepting Connor and wanting to work things out, even though I made sure to note later in the background that their problems weren't just instantly solved and that Connor is still overly clingy. I guess that's just me not wanting to be OVERLY pessimistic concerning problems within relationships and having the heart to break up that particular relationship.

In the scale of relationships, then, I would put Campy and Connor's somewhere in the middle between the extreme ends, away from the happier and less-problem-filled end of Kale and Eve's, but not as estranged and pessimistic as the next update's focus.
