You seem to think a webcomic HAS to have GREAT jokes EVERY strip or it sucks. I would say that well constructed comics that aren't meant to be funny are just as good sometimes, i enjoyed that AG comic because i can relate to it, and it wasn't badly constructed. honestly sometimes you really just need to chill out, no matter you try to justify your unreasonable critiques.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-24019963824885091852009-03-11T18:55:00.000-07:002009-03-11T18:55:00.000-07:00Hahaha, they changed the links on the ads with the...Hahaha, they changed the links on the ads with the new comic.

Sure, it led somewhere on the website, but it leads to an article about, among other things, "Long John Silver’s becoming the first seafood restaurant on Mars." Well, now it leads to an article about the restaurant going out of business, so hopefully it's even more clear.<BR/><BR/>I suppose I just read pfsc enough to tell that this is completely ridiculous, to the point of being over-the top. I'd say yesterdays was even moreso than today's: "Long John Silvers is an active member of the community"?

His apology is even kind of reminiscent of Randall's emo-comics' alt-texts, all bitterly sarcastic and lame.<BR/><BR/>Anyway about pfsc are you referring to the sponsor business? I think he is serious because he put it in the bloggy section and he has already been putting ads up on his site but I have no idea. On the other hand if you are referring to the comic itself and the subject of lupus I have no idea what to say.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11192581573588205095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-65993191601365282552009-03-10T23:58:00.000-07:002009-03-10T23:58:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11192581573588205095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-50755638542331064912009-03-10T23:51:00.000-07:002009-03-10T23:51:00.000-07:00Yeah, who cares?
