Method of Madness:
I agree with hurried, but the other two I don't agree (ok, it is self-referential, but not too self-referential). But to be fair I'll take this over nothing, considering he's busy with con shit.
ReindeerFlotilla:
Got to agree with BenRG on a critical level. If you look at Bubbles, Momo, Pintsize as a three part gage, the joke peaked at Momo. Humor and a bit of the unexpected. Pintsize was utterly predictable.
Knowing nothing of what Jeph might say on the subject, May would have been a better choice, just because we know a lot less about her. Or Pintsize could work if there had been a point made (and one of the gags) that was unexpected, or twisted what we knew into a new shape. The theory of humor being the violation of expectation. Pintsize's spec sheet offered nothing new and nothing from a new POV.
That's a purely critical look, given an artist, myself. As a producer of art, I know how fucking hard it can be to spit out regular high-quality stuff, and I acknowledge that this is free stuff. That said, I don't think being critical of whether the joke was sold or not is actually incompatible with otherwise supporting the joker. In fact, I suspect it's a good thing when not taken to the point of malice. And In my limited time here, BenRG has proven to be far from malicious. Rather he's what I'd call a super fan, in a carefully thought out way.
That's just my POV.
Method of Madness:
Yeah, I can support that. Also, I sincerely hope that my post wasn't taken as telling him off for doing so (and I certainly hope nobody took it as speaking as a mod), I just happened to find it kind of amusing as a silly follow-up gag.
ReindeerFlotilla:
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply you were telling him off. I just got on a roll with the idea that you can criticize what you love and still respect it in the morning.
Method of Madness:
Of course! And I didn't mean to imply that you were...ok, this is going to go in an infinite courtesy loop if I don't cut this off here, haha. But yeah, we're all good :)
