It's A Good Day to be SAVAGED!
Savgedisassmbly is working on "Crush'd" and various other Penny and Aggie stories.
Also, a record-breaking forum thread about Penny and Aggie's latest story, "The Race Card."
At the 60-post mark, I officially give up on unsolicited responses to criticism, quoting a post from a year earlier wherein Neil Gaiman learned from Anne Rice's mistake. And that's not just for Penny and Aggie, that's for everything. I'll jump in if invited, I may make remarks at some later point, and this doesn't apply to peer groups like "Savage Disassembly..." but I think cartoonists need to get a little distance from this sort of thing. Some of us, like me, are acting more like we're still in art class instead of like professional entertainers.
Where did this decision come from?
Well, actually it came from sitting in my room, typing, and wondering to myself, "I wonder how Neil Gaiman handles these situations." Ten seconds of searching later... "oh, THAT'S how."
I expect this to save a lot of time. :-)

See, I've been WANTING to write about The Race Card storyline in depth since Duane returned to the scene.
But I have this thing about doing posts about comics that belong to friends of mine.
Which isn't to say I'm not going to, I'm just very hesitant.

You know, as I've been spending so much time puzzling out webcomics... and comics in general... and why I keep bothering, so many ideas have come into play in shaping my philosophies towards them.
Reading this line, I felt something tumble into place in my skull. But I don't know what it is, or what signifigance it may have, but it definitely felt something go "thump" in there.
