Couldn't this comic stop?

Nick and Marla:
If you read them, they will come.

...Or something.

Nick and Marla:
Also, as someone who 100% completes every JRPG he's ever touched (like a faggot), you know nothing of stories that never end!

I tried, but I have a dirty addiction to break down literature to its base components. I'm sorry everyone

Carl-E:
Apology accepted. 




Now, go forth and sin no more [snicker]

Hello again. I'm well, and I hope everyone is well. I am glad the response was not so ad-hominem as it could have been. Things have been ad-hominem in the past, I tell you, and so this was a pleasant surprise.

I have to vouch for my own sincerity on this topic, first of all.

Second of all, in response to the moderator, who in general has been allowing of me and for which I am thankful- I have to disagree with you that Jeph should not expect criticism of this kind from people who aren't close acquaintances. Keep in mind, I have never understood forums or what the limits of decorum really are. I agree that there can be a difference between a personal appeal to cease and a simple critique of the comic, but they are not mutually exclusive.

I had a remark to make about the necessity of a piece of art/work/narrative. It is something that I have read every day, that I have read more of than Tolstoy. This fact confused some responders, who did not understand why I would complain and then continue to read it- perhaps it was my mistake for not elaborating my position more. I began to notice that I read the comic for no other reason than the simple satisfaction of "checking in" on a group of people. It is very similar to the reason I watched 'The Office' past the prime of its satire- it was regular, and reliable, and typically a kind of loneliness would be abated.

Like any other day, I read the comic and did not understand why I continued to do so. I have mentioned what I perceive to be the strip's current flaws with I think adequate respect given to what I think its authors talents are. In spite of my dedicated reading I know I am not a Customer and that Jeph does not owe me anything, and that I will not get what I want. His comic is indeed successful, but that is not my point. My point is that, as a reader, I find that it has lost its lustre. I would gladly, enthusiastically read his next project, if and when it is launched.

The improbability and immaturity of my post is perhaps what has not endeared many of you to me, and I understand. But I feel entitled to have said what I wanted to say about the comic, even if I was mistaken in saying it here. I can't really justify it further.

I did not know that Jeph did not regularly check the forums, by the way, though I suppose it makes sense that he wouldn't.
