Critiques Requested!
I’m about to start work on the next issue of Suburban Jungle (Rough Housing) and, now that an issue’s done and had some time to cool, I’d like to know what folks think! Writing, art style, lettering choices, panel borders, whatever, if you have a thought I’d like to know what it is. “Between issues” is when I plan to make most of my tweaks to things, so this is the time!
You can start at the beginning here, if you’d like. Thanks!

Rarity– When You Want to Comb
Rarity– When You Want To Comb by the-gneech on deviantART
Rarity has very definite ideas about grooming, not the least of which is that a lady’s hair should always be BRUSHED, darling!
Just a little thing done for the fun of it.

“You can’t trust a thing kids say any more,” said Greg. “A bunch of girls outside just spend fifteen minutes telling me that London Bridge was falling down, falling down, falling down. But I checked the news, there’s nothing about it.”
“Uh huh,” said Brigid.
“Of course they might have just been confused,” he added. “They seemed to have mistaken me for an attractive woman.”
“I hope you realize,” said Brigid, “that this kind of malarkey is why you don’t have any friends except for that cat.”
“Harumph,” said Greg. “Ozymandias and I share a bond of true friendship, and tuna fish.”
“Don’t kid yourself,” said Brigid. “If Ozzie had opposable thumbs, you would be so evicted.”

The Mighty Godking Goes Full Cobain
Writing a pithy post that adequately sums up my feelings about all of this is essentially impossible because a certain subsection of nerds seem determined to never, ever stop being terrible people, and put all of their energy into being terrible people, and make sure that they win simply by exhausting anybody who’s even halfway decent.
…but I do have one response, and that is to take a page from Kurt Cobain:
“If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of a different color, or women, please do this one favor for us… Don’t come to our shows and don’t buy our records. –Kurt Cobain”
I write a blog, I does a Twitter, I make comics. And this one goes out to the dickheads out there who seem determined to make life as difficult as possible for fangirls and geek girls and girls generally: don’t read my stuff. Just pass it by. I will make do without your eyeballs, attention, and (when there is opportunity for you to spend) monies. You are not needed; you are the fleshy little wart on the ass of Life, purely extraneous and mostly unpleasant, and I don’t want your business.
And for everybody else who makes comics – or other nerd stuff – you should be telling these people the exact same thing. You’ve probably been implying it anyway, but it’s time we all vocalized it.
This is a good policy, and I hereby adopt it, and attempt to spread the word.
