Well, from an objective little reader's viewpoint, I thought I might chip in on the whole Damien/Ray falling out...whether or not this falls on deaf ears or will actually have any sort impact I dunno.
Personally, both guys just strike me as coming off as pretty pig headed...not that I'm knocking them, hell so am I. I didn't find the stick man comics funny in the least (seemed like too much in-joking and meaningless violence), so I can see the side that would want less of them. However, I think that a little something was owed to Damien for his work on the site...perhaps a periodic stick man cameo (though not a four or five strip long story arch).
And, on a completely unrelated note that I'm too lazy to start a separate thread about, good to see a little belly on the young lady that Apple drew today. Not a horrid body by any stretch of the imagination, but a guy that is sick of looking at models who are practically stick figures themselves was happy with a little outward curve above the waistline.
