The chief purpose of this comic is to be entertaining after all. I do consider silly antics a forte of Astray3. The chief purpose of this comic is to be entertaining after all.

I think people work to hard to avoid cliche sometimes, but the truth is it rocks in a lot of instances, provided it's used right. I think it shows the mentality a bit better. The young ones are chasing the Stray for a big reward while the old grunts remember back a while, when Strays were more common and they got into scuffles now and then. Heck, there's probably still some hatred for human-like beings among the populace as well but this feels like a city which would really work on greed being a driving force. I can't help but think of a cross between Feist's Korondor and Pratchet's more fantastical, Ank-Morpork. Silly antics and Astray3 seem to go hand in hand.

It does seem to be a popular cliche. I immediately recall the recurring old men in the "Cowboy Bebop" anime. Though it certainly has deeper roots than that. This comic seems a little out of place to me. Originally it was meant to expand the citizens' reaction to unfolding events and add some personal opinions about the Strays in general. Instead it just interrupts the action from the previous comic for the sake of silly antics. (Cue Benny Hill theme music.) I believe you are right. It does seem to be a popular cliche.
