Your illustration is fantastic. Your comics are always smart and funny; many other intentionally offensive webcomics are neither. Toy Division always makes me laugh even when it makes me feel like a bad person for doing so. Am I gushing?
Ataraxia, you are in my good books!
thank you for being so supportive of my efforts.

If I don't write the scripts beforehand, all my characters end up talking like me.

Thanks.

I think I do cartoon art pretty good and I like my goofball jokes. Of course, that's just my opinion....

The one thing I do well is improve. And by that I mean in both delivery and art, because lord knows I can't do any worse then my first couple of strips. Most of the people that read what I do even point out how my stuff is constantly sucking less.

I'm an uppity bastard, but here it goes.
I write good dialogue. Not necessarily the most complex, or outrageous, but I think that the things my characters say are the things that my friends and I would say. Only with a few extra "fuck"s thrown in there. Because I find inarticulate people to be more interesting.
I also think when it comes to the satire I do, I'm not just re-enforcing other peoples world view. I think nowadays when people laugh at a comic, they like to just see what they believe thrown up there, maybe with a little more skill. Like a good stand-up comic, I like to search for something more interesting. An idea that maybe the readers haven't thought of. I've made a few easy jokes over the years, but I generally try not to.
Also, I think my comic honestly has some of the best art on the Internet. Between Eric (Years 1-2) and Becky (Years 3-4), I've been really blessed with amazing artists. I don't think they get even CLOSE to the recognition they deserve.
Also Becky is my girlfriend, so I'm pretty subjective. Eric, however, is not. I would not fuck him even if he was the last orifice left on earth.
As for what I do poorly?
Consistent updating.
Writing action.
Pulling together entirely new SITUATIONS. I wish I could come up with as many weird and entertaining situations as a guy like Chris Onstad could.
