(Jul 10, 2002 @ 2:49pm) «jaye» no swooning. i have too much of a headache to swoon (Jul 10, 2002 @ 2:49pm) «goovie is married!» gah. our esteemed president is wandering around the halls whistling "help me rhonda" over and over again (Jul 10, 2002 @ 2:49pm) «Gordondon son of Ethelred» /me hands Jaci some Tylenol (Jul 10, 2002 @ 2:49pm) «tibbar» I like that song ^_^ (Jul 10, 2002 @ 2:51pm) «Gordondon son of Ethelred» At least he isn't screeching Boston and St Johns (Jul 10, 2002 @ 2:51pm) «jaye» thank you. i took drugs. they're not working. damn them (Jul 10, 2002 @ 2:52pm) «lawrence» o/~ well, since she put me down, there've been owls puking in my bed o/~ (Jul 10, 2002 @ 2:52pm) «Gordondon son of Ethelred» /me plays help me Rhonda on the Kazoo (Jul 10, 2002 @ 2:52pm) «jaye» no puking (Jul 10, 2002 @ 2:53pm) «Gordondon son of Ethelred» I"m off to Tarzhay now.

(Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:14pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Jaciness. You sure you don't want to move here right now? (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:18pm) «renita» no. you can't have her. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:22pm) «Rob Balder» Back from my pointless meeting. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:23pm) «renita» she stays here. *firm* (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:23pm) «jaye» sheesh. renita's like all possessive and stuff today. i guess she -really- wants a place to stay in a week and a half ;) (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:24pm) «Rob Balder» Michael, re: commentary on my strip - I'm kind of using it as a sounding board, and some "additional content" you can get on the website that you won't be able to get when it runs in alterna-weeklies and won't be in the book. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:25pm) «renita» *grin* (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:25pm) «Andrea Krause» honestly...on most of the strips I've seen I think the commentary detracts from it... (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:25pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Yeah. I don't know about other people, but the commentary reads as awfully self-congratulatory to me. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:26pm) «Rob Balder» That's good feedback, Andrea. The thing is, at least 2 people have told me that the commentary is their favorite part of the site. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:26pm) «Rob Balder» Hm, maybe it's the tone I am taking. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:27pm) «Andrea Krause» It tends to diffuse the funny for me. Pretty much in the same way michael said. And it also feels like the audience isn't being trusted to understand why it's funny or not. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:28pm) «Rob Balder» In the earlier days when I was running strips I didn't like as much, my commentary is full of doubt and angst. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:28pm) «jaye» plus there's the whole if-you-have-to-explain-it thing. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:28pm) «jaye» or, yeah, what everyone else said (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:28pm) «Rob Balder» Lately I have been skipping the ones I consider weaker so I can include thm in the syndication packet next month. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:28pm) «Rob Balder» Hm... Well with the Kool-Aid one I was worried about the guy from The Schmews looking at it. He's from London. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:29pm) «Rob Balder» That's why I went with the explanation on that one. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:30pm) «Rob Balder» I really would like to become "Red Meat" to The Schmews' "The Onion" (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:30pm) «Rob Balder» You didn't get a laugh from the Kool-Aid-as-Christ-figure thing? (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:31pm) «Andrea Krause» Sure...I'm talking about the commentary in a more general sense...other strips, etc. *shrug* I don't know. It just turns me off. Ah well. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:32pm) «Rob Balder» Maybe I shouldn't comment unless it's worth an additional laugh. I'm definitely digesting this feedback. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:33pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» again, your tone detracted a lot from the funny. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:34pm) «Rob Balder» It's the dissecting-the-humor thing that's bad? (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:35pm) «Rob Balder» Did any of you read the comment on the Scarecrow strip? (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:36pm) «Rob Balder» That's what started this dialog with Fetus-X. I gave in to my English-major side and decided to deconstruct the character. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:37pm) «Rob Balder» And then Eric Millikin of Fetus-X took issue with my analysis. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:37pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» The scarecrow is typical of the commentaries that bother me. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:37pm) «Rob Balder» Hm. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:38pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» It's all "look how clever/funny/deep I am,"... and at some point, the strip has to stand or fall on its own merits. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:38pm) «Rob Balder» I realize that...maybe I am just thinking of that point being when it is running in papers. I have been thinking of the website as more like letting some friends into my garage to see the hotrod I am building. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:39pm) «Rob Balder» Possibly I am just boring people with details about the compression rate in the cylinders when most just want to see it drag race. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:40pm) «Rob Balder» Well, I gotta admit I'm disturbed by it, but I'll try and absorb and use this critique. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:51pm) «Rob Balder» I'm just not sure what to do, exactly. I'd rather not drop the commentary entirely. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:52pm) «Rob Balder» I mean, if you look in the guest book, someone wrote, "Partially Clips is very funny, but I think Rob's analysis of his creative process is even funnier." (Jul 10, 2002 @ 3:58pm) «jaye» well, you could do a uf-esque thing - have a with comments version and a without comments version. or, rather than having it as a web bonus, make it an addendum to the book as added incentive to buy (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:00pm) «Rob Balder» That's the kind of encouragement that has led me to pay more attention to the commentary. But I can see where what I have written in these might sound obnoxious and self-congratulatory. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:00pm) «Rob Balder» That's definitely a thought, Jaci. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:01pm) «Rob Balder» I keep thinking of Dave Sim's "Cerebus the Aardvark." I read the "phone books" which were compilations of the comics and loved them. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:02pm) «Rob Balder» But then I started reading the comics themselves, and reading his essays and the letters he answered, and to my absolute revulsion discovered what a complete asswipe he is. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:03pm) «jaye» /me is reading cerebus now. i'm on . .the sixth one. a little less of a phone book than the first five ;) (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:03pm) «jaye» hee. sometimes you just don't want to know that much about the artist (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:03pm) «Rob Balder» I guess there must be some readers who like his commentary sections best. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:04pm) «Rob Balder» I definitely don't want to become Dave Sim. Regardless of his success. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:04pm) «Rob Balder» What if I provided a link from the strip to a message board, where my commentary was the first entry and people could leave feedback? (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:06pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» That sounds like a solid plan... (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:09pm) «jaye» ooh. that's a good idea. then the readers can choose. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:10pm) «Rob Balder» Keep the news? (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:11pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» I can't believe what a butthead my psychiatrist is. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:13pm) «soul groove feline» I think it's in the job description of a psychiatrist to be an offacious little prick. no offense to any fruhead psychiatrists who happen to be lurking. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:20pm) «soul groove feline» or maybe we're just befallen with the Curse of the Evil Psychiatrists, which is far more logical. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:21pm) «soul groove feline» now you can see by my perception of logic why I *need* one :P (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:22pm) «Eri» *yawn* (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:22pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Hmmm...that's kind of been my experience, too... For some reason, Psychology and Medicine don't mix very well. (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:26pm) «Gordondon son of Ethelred» /me kisses the hands of Eri and Stacey (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:31pm) «soul groove feline» Gorwrence!!! :-D (Jul 10, 2002 @ 4:33pm) « Previous 100 entries | Next 100 entries »
