Comments on: Muddle Creek: Emphasis on “Muddle” http://comicfencing.com/2008/08/22/muddle-creek-emphasis-on-muddle/ Let the reviews do battle!

Must've been reading too many "girls behaving badly comics". Well done evisceration, though. You feel stonger about my comic than I do! Thanks for the art/font tips. If you thought some of the comics were saying "religous people are idiots", you're wrong. I attend church regularly. It's a dig at fanaticism. At any rate, thanks for taking so much time and care to write about my labor of love. Now how 'bout a hug? Damn, some reviewer is in a bad mood.

Never fear, though - the ol' Doctor has your back! :) (This posted here because I followed the link he posted. Sue me.)

Biding their time until the opportune moment to STRIKE. Plus they can totally do a handstand while balancing on their index fingers. Totally saw it on the Beijing Olympics telecast.

It was you who asked me the deathless question "Did you even read the comic?" when I gave my review on Gunnerkrigg Court. :) I hate unsolved mysteries.... :) And NOW I understand, at last, where I know the name Sly Eagle from.

I think Sly will make a most excellent addition for two reasons: 1. Delos, being an artist/webcomic maker himself, tends sometimes to over empathize with the creators and their "hardships" (in my opinion) and it may color his ability to be critical 2. While I am The Doctor, I am not a trained artist with pen and paper and so I may lack the ability to adequately understand what it takes to make a webcomic, thereby making my critiques too "personal," for want of a better term. (i.e, personal as in my opinion rather than artistic points, not personal as in aimed at them personally) Kind of an antithesis to Delos, you might say. 3. I don't really know Takelyn, so wisely, I won't comment :) Sly's ability to critique the overall artistic points as well as personal points will flesh things out immensely and will be a welcome addition as well as a counterpoint to the two "extremes," so to speak, of Delos and myself. And..I don't get the Shaolin thing either, so I hope they aren't watching ME, too. I have to concur. I think Sly will make a most excellent addition for two reasons:

It shows much greater understanding of the art form than I posess, that's for sure, but I could clearly understand her points from the context given. I hope the strip improves as a result of her effort. Well, I’m not impartial, being Sly’s Dad, but I thought it was very well written, too.
