ԿO<P>*shrug*<P>I have no idea. It might be. Do you know this guy? I mean why is he attacking Keen (I mean unless he wrote this 'just in fun'. Isn't that sort of a straw man sort of thing. I read the comics I like, I don't read the comics I don't like.<P>This sort of thing makes me wonder, why in the heck is he so upset? <P>Again. *shrug*<P>Take Care

He's a meanie. <P>Klingon Warrior Mode Activate<P>"He is a foul mouthed P'Tach and if he were here I would disembowel him and strangle him with his own intestines before he hit the ground!"<P>End Klingon Warrior Mode<P>I think what K'rang means to say is that, yeah, Keenspace has a lot of weak comics with bad stuff in them, but this is the melting pot. The cream rises to the top, and everybody benefits. The bad sites don't eat up much bandwidth, because nobody goes to them. So , I say, !<P>And making fun of me for not having access to bristol board is just in flagrant violation of my proletarian ideals.<P>:P!

No. That's not about you. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>
Hm, but he does make a good point about some other strips.

To answer my own question, the gay fur in the comic is likely a snipe at us. Gary's in the midst of a flame war on KScritics -- this is his retaliatory salvo.<P>------------------

I think this guy is an arse. Okay, so maybe some of his points are, to some extent valid. But there is a difference between saying something could be improved, and ripping it into shreds. If I were a Keenspace artist, I think I would've been reduced to virtual tears by the end of his tirade. Y'know what, this <i>is</i> "just a hobby" for a lot of people. So what? Does that make their wanting to share themselves a bad thing?<P>Like DFG said: if you dont' like them, don't read them. No one asked your opnion. Bah.<P>And I do agree with you, that it was likely a snipe at you guys. Where is this flame war going on? I want to read what sparked off all of this.

True Ferret... unfortunately Gary isn't being considered high on the iq scale. For example, he's knocking Boxjam because of the 'bad' art.<P><P>------------------

Bleah! Any reason to show off a tongue ring!

I don't suppose it would even be worth it to try and talk to this guy or would he just be a jerk?<P>mmmmmm, I can't resist.<P>(DFG remembers the time she stuck a stick into a yellow jackets nest and got stung in the lip.)<P>Some people never change.<P>Take Care

Woah cowboy! It sounds as thought you are all reacting to the inflamatory nature of his 'creation' rather than logically and methodically shooting holes in his argument. (I always prefer a clean kill myself.)<P>Take Care

It's like the gay odd couple. Only sexier.

I agree with Allan on this one.
Klingon bit, too.<P>Maybe he's a bit fat hairy troll.
Speaking of which: behold the cutest furry monster in the universe:

Scix, but it was a long while before you guys brought out a gay character.<P>So you're not hammering your agenda into every strip.

Gah! What a stoopid poobum.<P>Damonk's "Gary" post was inspired and the pointing out of the "art" status of Dadaism by (person whose name I forget)was a good point indeed!<P>Timmerryn<br> <A HREF="http://pantheon.keenspace.com" TARGET=_blank>http://pantheon.keenspace.com</A>

P.S. I am honored that you have a topic called 'Gary Clair'. Even if it's just to call me an arse.
