I realize you are a "big guy" in the industry, now. Sure, you're busy--guess what? We all are.

But there's a certain... I dunno... responsibility that comes when you purportedly deliver a web comic on a regular basis, in particular if you accept ad revenue from page views of it. (John's note: I DO?)

It has taken you a week to update your web comic. A week. I have given you, now, six page views for nothing. I will not give you another.

	people are jerks. 'scuse me while I go find a nice quiet cave to hide in for the rest of my life. :\ Sorry you get nastygrams like that, Mr. K. There are those of us out here who appreciate the web comics you post for free and the smiles they bring when you have time to share. (Reply to this)

	Anytime someone is a dramallama or a dick for no real reason, my response is always the same... Beat them with sticks. I'll watch. And possibly take photographs. And then maybe even make commemorative plates. Everyone likes commemorative plates. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The last occasional update of Waiting for Bob was FIVE YEARS AGO. The last update that took place within the continuity was two years before that. This guy SO doesn't have any room to bitch. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lucky he doesnt read chopping block either. i dont think that Lee Herold has updated in almost 9 months now (granted i gave him six months of checking before i gave up, but no email), and it was on a M W F sched. damn him, lol. hey john, maybe you should do what cathy gustwhite (sp?) does and just put up old strips? i doubt this guy would know the difference.

	Yeah, while we're on the topic, I really don't think you update your LJ often enough, John. If I don't see more frequent posts in the next few days, I may have to drop you from my friends list... (Reply to this)

	O_o Yes, that's logical. We all know the advertisers want to go broke from umpteen-hundred people viewing a page that their ads happen to be on. Nevermind the fact that page views cost bandwidth, which in turn cost money. Someone needs to learn how the internets work, methinks. (Reply to this)

	I believe the term is "Don't let the door hit you in the backside on the way out", right? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I always head "don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you" but I guess it all adds up to the same. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I assume he thinks all those wee little ads are actually profit making for you, without noticing that they're mostly....well, for you, and for web comics that could use a push from your high profiley-ness. cat just climbed on chest. no more type. (Reply to this)

	This guy must hate summer reruns on TV... ^^ I wonder if this guy thinks he's actually proving something, or making some sort of point? (Reply to this)

	And I bet he'll still be checking back. Come ON, how dumb to you have to be to need a bookmark to remember "www.dorktower.com"? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Well... the question is, is it more or less dumb than you'd have to be to write that email? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	frabjousdave 2007-03-22 04:43 am UTC (link)
	I feel a little closer to you today. Of course, I'm also twitching from memories of the TSR/WotC interregnum and all those angry phone calls we couldn't answer properly because management kept lying to us. Whenever we both get back to Gen Con, buy me three martinis and I'll tell you about the kid who accused us of subliminal swastikas. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mythdude 2007-03-22 11:57 am UTC (link)
	...Oh I've gota know. What subliminal swastikas? :P Reminds me of the crazy couple in town who think White Wolf books are actually written in code and reveal the true nature of the universe within them. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	well, you still have legions of fans from Strategicon. You can forget him. I still love you for the existence of munchkins, chez geek, and apples to apples. Need I say more. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	And another thing... What about those blank Munchkin cards? YOU, SIR, ARE A SLACKER! I wonder how he feels about a country that doesn't actually put into office the one they voted for. (Reply to this)

	Absolute sign you've succeeded. Drahhmma Queenz being pests. TANSTAAFL. (and hey - I've waited upwards of a year sometimes... but viewing a page is "cheap". Now if only I could afford more BOOKS!!!) (and addons for munchkin) (Reply to this)

	torificus 2007-03-22 12:40 pm UTC (link)
	And on the plus side, being quoted in metaquotes is probably going to lead more than just one person here who is looking for a new webcomic anyway. I can only guarantee the one, though. :> (Reply to this) (Parent)
