Jeph is listening :)

Or, it's entirely possible that some of us are Patreon supporters? :-D :angel:

Man, I love the comic, but the thought that keeps occupying my mind is that the last panel today *feels* like the first time I tried to take off a girl's bra. I was all "Do I need to go get my dad's cutting torch? Good lord!"

And..what happened? Is Fred better, or working to a place where he is better? I am worried about your friend Fred.

I'm just really sick of this idea that shippers are some how dirty people masturbating to everything.

Just my 2cents:
I think there's some forum history you might not be aware of - if you are, skip right to where it says HERE! - it's a few months before my time, so take it with a grain of salt. Jeph has a spectacular case of dislike for shipping his characters in ways he considers unlikely, or untastefull. Apparently, the forum didn't always share that POV, most egregiously in the case of shipping Hanners, which lead to the forum's version of the Biblical Flood; with an enraged Jeph empowered with admin-rights trolling his own forum in a rather memorable fashion and publicly musing that he'd "never come so close to destroying one of my own creations".
(Mods? Does anyone remember were that "Please don't be bearhat-guy"-pic is? It's hilarious!)
The immediate results were a) Jeph rarely visits the forum any more b) The glorious dawn of the "Era PWhodges", named after the eponymous mod. That era is marked by us largely making up our own rules - or rather, our benevolent overlords encouraging that pleasant illusion - except for Jeph's First Commandment:
Though shalt not ship (distastefully and/or improbably)
There's no discussing this, goes right up his nose, like calling the Librarian of Unseen University a monkey - you comply OR.ELSE. And since this is Jeph's forum, running on Jeph's server, there's also no debate over this: We agree to his rules, or we go, simple as that - Jeph has made it abundantly clear that he doesn't loose sleep about people finding that unfair. You stick to the rules, or you go.
And since we don't want Jeph to go all Biblical God on the forums again, the mods will make you stick to the rules, or ... well, truth be told, I've somehow always missed what happens next, except that shipping is amazingly subtle here, if it happens at all. It's nothing personal, it's not even a judgement on your likes or dislikes, it's simply a fact of life. It doesn't even matter whether Jeph sometimes appears to be teasing us (that debate has evolved into something akin to kabbala by now) - this is not one of the places where "one rule for all" applies. It's his house, and his rules.
---> HERE! <----
Not that I'm suggesting you have crossed any lines (I don't think so) but this peculiarity has, over time, led to a natural selection process - Many of those who did enjoy shipping quite a lot have left, and those who staid can live without it, or get their fix elsewhere.
It's not a matter of finding shipping bad, or yuck, or whatever (personally, I can't be arsed one way or the other) - it's simply a matter of accepting that one is moving in a certain culture shaped by certain boundaries, and deciding whether one is OK with that or not. If you find shipping terribly enjoyable, knock yourself out, but I think you'll feel better if you're aware that yours being a minority opinion is not a judgement on you. Rather something like natural selection. :-D

Sounds better that way, methinks?
