A lot of the criticism seems to be more about the fact that it's stick figures
as opposed to the "smug" writing.

Does a comic really have to be well drawn to be a comic? So can it have pretty pictures but shit writing and still be called a comic?

i don't think it takes much to be labelled as a 'comic'
the difference is being regarded as a good comic

this
but this seems to be a major issue for them.

a comic is a media form where the pictures and words supplement each other to tell a story
a comic with good writing can be really let down by bad art, and the reverse is true also

although in the crazy world of webcomics i don't think it matters too much either way, people will still praise you unequivocally no matter what turds you plop out
