The Hellspam keeps coming. Some of it is signed by guys, some of it by women. Some of the authors claim to be transsexuals. Some of them are barely coherent and some of them are eloquent as Satan’s silver tongue itself. And yet, I have this creeping suspicion that many of them are from one troll with a lot of free time on his hand. Get a life, Shitty Webcomics.
Trawling through the wreckage of my gmail account, I found only one email interesting enough to write about in detail. It’s from our old pal “Josie”.
You know, Josie, I used to be a bit like you. I used to believe it was possible to change things.
Come back in ten years, and we’ll talk again. Because whatever it is you’re angry at, that thing will still be there in ten years. You won’t have ended war. You won’t have fixed the economy. And the Patriarchy will not be gone, if that’s your thing. People like us can’t change anything, and those who can don’t want to. So here we are.
But you know what people like us can do? We can talk to other people and maybe change their minds about a few things. At the heart of it, that’s what bad webcomic reviews are all about: You reach out to someone and make it clear that their work is flawed, that they’re polluting the internet. And then, you give them some hints about how to improve. They probably won’t listen, but maybe someone else will take it to heart and as a result refrain from releasing pointless nonsense on the web.
Well, that was a long and boring post, wasn’t it.
Since I need something interesting to salvage it, I’m going to break a promise: the last collection of “art” Mr. Garrison sent me actually contained some bits that weren’t too obscene to publish.
So, over to you Mr. Garrison:
 |
| Parts 1-4 and 6-23 were of a nature that made them impossible to publish here. |
Constructive criticism time: Mr. Garrison, I actually preferred it when you just used MSpaint. Now you’re “improving” your comics by copying other people’s work into them, and that’s just cheating, isn't it?
