If I was truly assertive I would say what's on my mind and just tell her to 'Fuck Off'but even though others have done that, when I say the same I'm trolled!

that's not the sort of assertive they teach to people who work in call centres.but still. I don't know why you can't get away with it. Maybe you look like someone who'd be expected to be polite.

I have tried the polite approachbut with her not taking abroad any criticism then the stuff she churns out is the same every time. I can understand abstract but I can't decipher what she's getting at and usually the art helps explain the meaning in her case it just confuses. If it was WTF lol that I could deal with but simply WTF every time is irritating.

It makes me do a lol wtf every time,she doesn't post that much, I can only suggest use of the "ignore" button, pretty sure she isn't winding you up on purpose.

I've yet to make up my mind about what she truly wants from b3taafter all it could be a 40 year old bloke who drives HGV for a living and is completely trolling the lot of us, nobody really understands her and she gets more and more surreal but not in a true surrealist sense.

It's a puzzle.Like I say, I'm convinced she's really Japanese, could still be a troll though but dunno. She does seem to respond positively to anyone being nice to her but any friendly advice more or less goes over her head.
I kind of thrive on nonsense though so it causes no problems for me.

This isn't nonsense though she's trying to create a storyline but with terrible translation and the art doesn't help tell the storyDon't get me wrong I absolutely love Akira but Moggy is doing it wrong, either on purpose or that she doesn't know how to translate a storyline. She has given us no character development so we have no frame of reference as to what each character is all about, if I did a cartoon like this I would get mauled and understandably so unless I deliberately made it abstract and WTF. This isn't abstract (WTF) it someone failing badly and we are encouraging her to do so in some respect I actually feel sorry for her she will come away from this knowing nothing and think she has it all sussed. I feel sorry for her because we are laughing at her and not with her and she is so naive she doesn't even realise this despite me telling her over and over again to think about what she's posting.

Character development... frames of reference...you just pretty much described everything I don't like about JollyJack's comics. And so many other webcomics. I don't know but I think you might be trying to read a little too much into it.
In any case, I suspect the problem is essentially unsolvable, so there's little point worrying about it. It's like trying to talk someone out of Asperger's Syndrome.

think of her as an Ed Wood movie. :D
EDIT: There's actually a translatable joke in this comic though, you just need the reference that those two characters (the blue and green ones) are from happy tree friends the blue one being called splendid...
she's actually made a word play in a different language; which is some what commendable... although there is, you know, bondage and genital hot wax torture as well.

I like cryptic crosswords.Sometimes there are clues I just can't get. In those cases, I don't check later to find out. I like the head-bendery of it. Moggy is incomprehensible in various ways. Even 'her' identity is as stake. I think of this stuff as a disconnected artefact. If I don't get, or don't dig it, well, I don't have to get or dig everything. And the not getting and not digging as valid a position as getting or digging. I mean for me, I'm not recommending that this perspective is taken. But it is fun.

Oh, um, alsoThe chat Moggy inspires is often as entertaining and informative as it is voluminous. Which I feel is good in itself. *re-lurks*

Well at least you have gone someway to making the cartoon more understandable then but it really requires that you follow Happy Tree Friends which I had never heard about until about an hour ago. See what a mean about frames of reference? And yes the only thing I like about Jolly Jacks stuff is that it is so fantastically well drawn but often you are left with the same sort of feeling at least you can understand the language if not the direction of his webcomic.
But there are lot of people who post their webcomics in and b3ta and they are just simply brilliant and hilarious Ed's World to name one.

Now that I'm in love with youAllow me to present some similar, but unFinnegary nonsense:
Rather than take for granite that Ace talks straight, a listener must be on guard for an occasional entre nous and me . . . or a long face no see. In a roustabout way, he will maneuver until he selects the ideal phrase for the situation, hitting the nail right on the thumb. The careful conversationalist might try to mix it up with him in a baffle of wits. In quest of this pinochle of success, I have often wrecked my brain for a clowning achievement, but Ace’s chickens always come home to roast. From time to time, Ace will, in a jersksome way, monotonise the conversation with witticisms too humorous to mention. It’s high noon someone beat him at his own game, but I have never done it; cross my eyes and hope to die, he always wins thumbs down.

My favourite off-hand thought so faris "these shoes are on their last legs".

Yes.10 intarnetz to you. I like when jokey idioms we think are mined out yield tittersomeness. I'd put that one in the shoemenders category. You know, the one where we find "Time wounds all heels. I will mend your wayward soles." Etc. Ambigous phonemes for the win.

CrikeyYou must be a philosopher, no? I could be wrong, as I base this on induction only. Which Hume said was all there was. But at which conclusion he didn't arrive by induction. So his fork-in-the-road bifurcation of possibilities into inductive and valid, or non-inductive and for the fires of sophistry and illusion, was untenable by his own lights. So he shot himself in the foot with his own fork.
