if it's leopardman who sent it then you can kiss your private life goodbye. he's probably already got webcams set up in your house. remember, never go out at night by yourself and stay away from white vans with tinted windows.

I really want some fanmail that isn't creepy. I think that Wiccan girl is stalking me.

"Dear Kirb,

I recommend adding a tagboard to your site, if you can find one you like. It makes it easier for visitors to leave feedback. I use Saybox.

I added a tag board a week or two ago and for the first week I got a bunch of "Hey, a tagboard! I like your comic. I've been reading since...." but it's slackened off since and people only leave messages maybe once every couple days. If it keeps up like this I'll probably pull it down. It just looks sad if it says the same thing all the time.

I got fan mail a few months ago. The person told me how much they loved one of my characters. I killed that character a week later. (It was in the script!)

Hrmn. Maybe that's why I haven't gotten any more fan mail.

That's the best fanmail story I've ever heard.

I've gotten "I've read your review, I agree with it" or "You're a hack".

Nothing much to it.

lol..

...I think by "stalker" that person means he or she will lurk and check back your website when you update (or once in a while if your updating is sporadic like mine), so yeah, its a compliment, not a hint that someone will break in your house while you're at out and steal your panties. XD

;d gosh I have a handful of fan e-mails .. I.. like.. totally need to get off my lazy lazy ass and update. (I think it's been like a month or two since my last update. Oh well. there's been worse ... like 5 months). Now that my personal webspace is gone all my banners are broken too.. XD oh gosh, so many things need fixing.

If someone tells you that they're a stalker, they're probably not. If you see them in the reflection of your drinking glass, then they're a stalker.

Nothing beats a bit of fan mail...makes me tingly in the pants it does.

I once had an annoying character beaten up in the comic, then I got a fan mail from other artist (more known than I am) saying "Good! He deserved it!"
