I guess that might not help much, but It pains me when you oversimplify the comic and decry it as lame if the underlying joke is sub-par. There are little intricacies that do enhance it. But you don't seem to like this comic, and I'll let you do that, but try not to ignore those little things. They can save an otherwise boring comic in the right situations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-70851454730377116242009-04-27T05:06:00.000-07:002009-04-27T05:06:00.000-07:00I still have chicken!

Trolling for trolls is fun. Hi anon!<br /><br />Trismosux or whatever his name is is not clever enough or useful enough to merit responses where I treat him like a person! If he can't understand basic premises of writing for an audience he has no place in human society. He should be shunned as the diseased, freakish monstrosity that he is, denied food and shelter in civilized places, and cast into the mountains. He will survive on insects, rodents, and spring water for a while, but the winter or the drought will come and he will perish, if not from the exposure to the heat or cold, then from dehydration when water is no longer available, or starvation when he can no longer find his prey. May God have mercy on his useless, useless soul.rshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15828938843801425383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-82597544978476362702009-04-23T18:03:00.000-07:002009-04-23T18:03:00.000-07:00Doesn't "eleventy" imply that there will be zeroes...Doesn't "eleventy" imply that there will be zeroes in your series of exclamation points and ones?<br /><br />And I would say that poore's comment was quite rational.

It is the author's responsibility to <I>make people believe his premise.</I> You can't just say "that is the premise." It is quite possible to get people to accept the premise that a brain is not working like a human brain. Randall did not do this.<br /><br />Let me repeat that, you mindless fuckwit: IT IS THE AUTHOR'S RESPONSIBILITY TO GET HIS READERS TO ACCEPT THE PREMISE. If your readers, especially if a LARGE NUMBER OF THEM, are not accepting the premise, YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG. This is a basic fucking rule of writing. You have a responsibility to your audience. If your audience doesn't like your premise, it's not because they don't "get" it, it's because you are <I>doing it wrong.</I>In this case, Randall did not convey his premise well, at all. He could have done! But he didn't. He conveyed it badly. This is the writer's fault. The job of the writer is to successfully communicate his ideas and premises to the reader. Randall has not done so. He has, in fact, failed on that point.<br /><br />Blaming the readers is just idiotic. It's the sort of thing kids in high school English classes argue when someone tells them that their writing is bad, and they are like "no, I did that on purpose, you just don't <I>get it!</I>" "No, I get that you did it on purpose; you just <I>intentionally did something which makes your writing bad.</I>" You are communicating with an audience. You can be held accountable for your failures at communicating that point.<br /><br />HAVE A NICE DAY SHITFUCKERrshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15828938843801425383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-43148899720641269712009-04-23T14:19:00.000-07:002009-04-23T14:19:00.000-07:00"the contents of this comment section are getting ..."the contents of this comment section are getting abysmally stupid"<br /><br />At this rate, we're going to need to make the blog tagline rotating.the_cuddlefishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-62181056770751833192009-04-23T13:40:00.000-07:002009-04-23T13:40:00.000-07:00I certainly hope Carl fucking posts soon, because ...I certainly hope Carl fucking posts soon, because the contents of this comment section are getting abysmally stupid.<br /><br />Being that the entire central conceit of the joke is that his brain is NOT working like a normal human brain, I think the comparison to saying "WTF Hobbits aren't real" is entirely <I>valid</I>. It's like the equivalent of someone reacting to a priest-minister-and-rabbi-walk-into-a-bar joke and saying "WTF, rabbis don't go out with religious leaders of other faiths." Maybe they do, maybe they don't, but the joke relies on you accepting that so it can deliver the punchline. If you're going to stop in the middle and say "WTF No," then yeah, it might not be funny to you, but that's more your fault for wanting to find a flaw in the comic than the fault of the comic.Trismegustishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15434866684636470106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-55761701620457256122009-04-23T13:07:00.000-07:002009-04-23T13:07:00.000-07:00In the story "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep"...In the story "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" and the movie based on it, there's some ambiguity about whether the main character is human or android ("replicant").
