they don't matter to the qc cast, but that doesn't mean they can't matter in their own right. If they have no purpose, if there isn't some intrinsic value to the existence of the strip then why bother making one at all? Why not just have a post saying no comic, it's still art and it was still displayed to the public as art.
And i'm sure the pixar people don't just do their shorts as "filler" Quantity of content doesn't define quality or artistic value thereof.
Tuitsuro:
Sweet Tits was supposed to be your basic filler character punching bag. Problem was that only worked out for about 5 minutes because Jeph is not Dan Kim.

Err... if you take parts of content out of context, it always might appear extremely different.
Theres nothing you can do about it.

Perhaps saying their story isn't important was an exaggeration; I'm saying if Jeph thought they were as important as the main story he would do a separate comic for them. The whole point of filler (as I understand anyway) is to provide a quick one-off gag when Jeph's too busy to do a regular comic. And to suggest that I was saying that Jeph could simply put up a blank comic and that it would be of the same value seems kind of silly to me; it's not as if filler serves no purpose whatsoever.
Also: Pixar short films certainly aren't filler - I often find them to be quite clever and fun. I just think it's a better comparison than the main story of Toy Story 3.
