important announcement day!

 

I’ve probably talked before about this occasional, odd impulse I have to just straight-up lie to my readers. I don’t know what it says about me.

BUT this comic was actually kind of encouraging to me because of the outcry it inspired. It also made me wonder how (when? if?) I’d actually end the comic, if it ever comes to that. [ January 11th, 2013]

not that you are not ALL respectable, dear readers

 

I still do this regularly; visit the main page of my site, but try to step outside myself and pretend that I am a first-time visitor. What impression do the first few comics make to somebody who doesn’t know me?

Usually I’m satisfied, occasionally I am alarmed. I mean, I often like to paint myself as a bit of a jerk for hilarity purposes, but part of the reason that’s funny is because people know I’m not really like that.

Does the irony always come across if people don’t really know me at all? I’m not always sure. Still, it can be an illuminating exercise. [January 10th, 2013]
