# don't know if you'd have ever come across this
but i was browsing through webcomic review sites earlier and came across this:
webcomicoverlook.com/2008/06/23/the-webcomic-overlook-46-sequential-art/
he gave you 3/5 but then you were defended by people in the comments...

"It may be because Art, the main character, is obviously a self-insert of the author. This is an opinion, not a definitive statement, by the way, and it may turn out to be baseless. After all, Sequential Art does include a character by the name of “Phillip H. Jackson.” Sequential Phil, however, is a tiny hamster who rides around in a woman’s bosom. (How does this work out, anyway, when every other species is depicted to be human size?) Art, on the other hand, is a harried graphics designer who crashes on the couch and plays video games at home. I suspect Real World Phil might have more experience with the latter … though more power to him if he turns out to be the former."

You have to give him credit, he's right on the money

# I actually like that guy's reviews
I wasted an hour or so at work reading through them, mainly because I'm a massive nerd.

To be fair to JJ, I seem to remember him once commenting that if he were turned on by the furry stuff he draws he'd never be able to get anything done, or words to that effect.

# that review is way too idiosyncratic
and bizarrely over critical. I doubt anyone will take it seriously

the strip speaks for itself, getting verbose and critical about it is missing the point

# Something tells me you wouldn't have been a fan of xkcdsucks then
getting over-critical and verbose about it was the entire point of that website.

# Spewing for a couple of thousand words is what a blogger does.
Some wierd pet peeve on how brand names are used? Someone unable to even see the charm in details like that doesn't deserve to have an opinion on webcomics at all. Garbage.
