okay so try two! and finally done. dunno if it looks any better or not, but eh took the usual 2 hours to do.
I actually have something to rant about today! yaaaaay!!!!
On the 11th I got this rather pointless negative comment:

I personally love negative pointless comment like this! why? well to poorly qute commander Vimes "when somebody is trying to kill you, then you know your doing a good job" same thing really applies to web comicering. when you get a rather lame pointless comment like this you know you're doing really well. I mean geeze people i'm no.1 on strips and no.7 overall. I have to be doing something right! And to get a bad comic like so just the worlds way of saying you've got a good thing. as for every good critism you get you must always get a bad one. life just isen't complete without that bad opineon.
But this particular one i find herlariouse. Because you can tell the guy probably just skimmed through the archives and probably likes another webcomic that has lower ranking than mine and belives it should be sitting happy at no.1. or generally doesn't understand why people like such a silly comic.
First he insults my art, which is a laugh. when i started this comic i didn't have the time for pretty art. and suprise suprise i still don't have time for it even now. but it has improved. it is still reasonably crap but some people think it's pretty none the less. besides NPC would look horrible drawn any better. crappy quick art is how it was bor, and will probably be stuck with it forever. but its passably good looking and can be pretty that nobody cares that it is rather crap.
second the writing. well… i'd usually get a big ego blow from this because i'm very self consiouse about the quality of my writing and always threating it's not good enough. but seeing this guy probably hasn't read enough of the comic to form a better informed opineon of it, his opineon in the matter doesn't matter. Besides i'm taking a creative writing course at Uni and probably got accepted into the thing in the first palce due to this comic. so i think his probably just stupid there.
"thats sad, stop, please" well… harsh. i thought this was the nastiest bit of it. but at least he is polite no? why should i stop? just because one little miserable person doesn't like my comic because he didn't give it a real chance? what a laugh! I draw this thing for my own enjoyment not just for others. I'd have to either be dead or blind to give this comic up. and even if i did go blind (which is possible) i';d just find a new artist.
all in all i just like ranting at stupid people. i wouldn't do it to a person who actually gave a good reason for not liking my comic. but that dude is just laughable. laugh at him for his tom foolery. yes i know i'm being mean. but people just shouldn't make this sort of thing easy. If he comes back i do hope he puts a bit more venom into his bite. it's just so depressing to get bad crit which doesn't even have real thought behind it, ya know?
