Hi, this is a pointless mail so if your busy – skip it and press the little x in the upper-right corner.

Still here huh? Well ok, So…. I didn’t read the your comic, nor I intend to, I’m just here from boredom and, came from vgcats.com’s link in the news, and these are my first thoughts:

You guys suck for choosing the title, I don’t know if your really apple freaks, but apple n macs seriously suck ass, and are for people that choose pretty interface before functionality. I hate mac’s and all people that brag about using them and state opinions about it being better than pc’s because that’s just bullshit.

Other then that the graphics of the comic are just great, cg’ing just breathtaking. (but don’t give me that shit “yeah because I make’em on my mac”, because that’s some more bullshit, your talent is the only thing responsible for it’s look and I bet it would be even better when made on a pc).

And if you’re still here (doubt that) could you answer me one question. What’s with this writer-artist cooperation thing that some webcomics like your’s or penny-arcade’s present. I don’t understand and don’t believe that almost half of the artist that are out there are to dumb to be able to think of a decent story of their own. I think it’s the artist that is the foundation of a webcomic, but they get equal credit as the writer or what’s even more disturbing, what I saw on one forum, artist are sometimes rated lower. And that’s just crap. A webcomic would survive without a writer, hell It could take several months before anyone would notice that the story is written by a different person. But a comic WOULDN’T have a chance of surviving without an artist. I remember when PA did a joke about splitting up and Tycho posted a so called comic made in MsPaint about some dot. Everyone said “hehe that’s so funny because it uses sophisticated talk” but every one knew it sucked and all of them were just PA fanatics and were terrified of being struck by lightning if they said something negative. Why every artist can’t be independent like Scott (I know you don’t like such reference but I don’t care). Sure the scripts don’t have to be perfect or contain very sophisticated words, but every person can think of something at least decently funny, or just a decent story. And then the viewer knows that what he sees is something that a person thought of, imagined and then brought to life on paper the best way he could, and not just followed directions of someone else. The worst thing about this whole cooperation thing is when a writer creates a shitty script, then an artist must work several hours to make a comic of it from directions of a writer who thought of the script in 2 minutes. People then comment “it’s not so bad” but that is only because they appreciate the artwork, but the writer stares at the forum or whatever and says something like “yeah they kinda liked it…. I AM GOD…. now artist , go and fetch me a sandwich” (yeah I know – extremely exaggerating but you get my point).Summing up. I think artist of webcomics should be independent and think of their own ideas, or if they want someone to write the script for them, somewhere should be stated that the artist is the lead author and the writer is just a small fry. (Note: I’;m talking about webcomics like yours, penny arcades, vgcats and others, not just comics, which use so much text that there’s barely space for the comic itself, or ones like dilbert, which could survive even the authors death because of the fact you can pretty much create it by copying and pasting the pieces………or just making random inkblots on paper.)

That’s my opinion.What’s your opinion?
