--- Quote from: The_Bartender on 21 Feb 2009, 18:08 ---Sven reminds me a little of a buddy of mine. He was quite a womanizer in our younger days, and I occasionally felt uncomfortable around his girlfriends, because I KNEW their wasn't going to be much of a long term relationship.
But he eventually changed. He's been married for almost 15 years and has a great wife and two adorable daughters. That last fact does make me believe a little in karma!

Unless two adorable daughters is your code for "tiny, horrid harpies-in-training that make his every breath a weariness," I'm not sure I understand how this development affirms karma. Wait, maybe you mean "sexy, brainless little tarts guaranteed to attract predators like himself." That's more like Sins of the Fathers, though. You know, 'til the, hell, I can't recall what generation, but it always seemed a bit excessive.
To me, karma for Sven is Faye finding someone else after he's realized 'this one' means something to him. I.E. Sven is the only one to suffer, at least long-term.
Or maybe not. I admit I don't really get karma, being neither Hindu not Buddhist.

Eh, fate, karma, Sins of the Fathers. Those of us who know him just consider it some form of those concepts that he had two daughters, and thus will probably have to spend a good part of his late middle age worrying about guys just like he was.
As for Sven and Faye, your idea has similar merit and amusement. It would serve Sven right, and Faye deserves a shot at a decent stable relationship. Given her issues, she will probably find her own ways to screw things up, but she still deserves the chance.

I think I suggested that.
If he were to do that it would be a more mature reaction than his "God forbid I do what I want!" blather.

The REASON I banned him is not that he is unhappy with the comic, or that he had criticism. It was that he had the sheer GALL to assume that he knew my motivations, state of mind, and feeling towards my own work. He put words in my mouth, he was a condescending prick, he's done it before and been warned, and I got sick of it, so he's gone.
This is MY website. I am literally spending MY hard-earned money so that YOU people have this place. If you don't respect that you WILL be gone.
I see no reason to tolerate the presence of those I find tiresome.

Oh no!
You ask for criticism by doing something abnormal in a strip, know that people will comment on it, and then flip out when you don't like what they're saying?
How adult of you good sir.
You don't seem to mind that people who support you seem to think they know your motivations and what you thought.
Be consistent.

Agreed.

Wow, finally read the whole thread, and just...wow.
Anywho, I love this comic, and I hope to make it to a con that Jeph is a guest at someday (He should totally go to Phoenix Comicon 2010)
As far as new/old audience motivations, I could give a crap about the indie music stuff, I started reading it because a friend of mine sent me a comic with a Dune reference in it.
Concerning the main topic, if Marten possessed the physical strength he should kick the crap out of Sven for hurting his friend.
Also, wasn't Jackie Blue a chick? Everyone keeps saying "him." Weird.
ViciousWarGoose:
I am also not a camera. I am a llama.
I clicked on his view profile and it said female...I assume people are always truthful on the internet I suppose.
