The Grapes of Wrath line got me to snicker so loudly that Mike heard me two rooms away.

The Danishes are a proud nation.

Excellent. Speaking of comics...

Nobody Scores is a webcomic that is a little like Dresden Codak in some ways (particularly, I think both strips have a similar flowing and leaping kind of storytelling to them). It is just close enough that I feel I could surreptiously recommend it here.

Yay, new Nobody Scores as well!

The danishes are extinct, but there are still bagels left...

Lovely.

And it reminded me of one of my favorite "Perry Bible Fellowship" comics as well.

PBF was updated just recently after a long hiatus. Now, I'm pretty sure your comment did not cause it, but until we can rule that effect out, perhaps you should make more comments like the above. Because any kind of magic that results in more PBF is good magic in my book :)

The newest PBF is called Transmission and you can find it by following the link above and picking the comic at the top of the list.

I was introduced to Dresden Codak when the guy who wrote Your Webcomic Is Bad And You Should Feel Bad slammed it. I had never seen the strip before, read it, and discovered the YWIB blogger had exaggerated and/or invented half of the alleged problems with DC. I got into an Internet style urination-based challenge with him. He started in with the "I'm a famous guy posting incognito, therefore your argument is invalid" immediately. I taunted him. Many of my replies were deleted, then the blog was deleted, and AFAIK he never came back, which I would like to think was partly my doing.

I'm not saying DC is perfect, mind, nor will I get into any ISUBCs about the webcomic with any of your readers who loathe the strip; I figure I should mention this preemptively.

YWIBAYSFB (or NAMBLA for short) was prone to attacking any comic centered around a trans-person perspective by using the transphobic bits of the DSM within the first paragraph of his posts, but the Dresden Codak post was a bizarre thing even for that guy - I doubt there's genuinely that many people outside of full-time-troll communities who find a great deal of fault with DC.

The closest thing to a valid criticism of DC was the sporadicness of the posting of new content, and to be fair I can't see how anyone can truly even justify such a criticism because the content has always justified that sporadicness, as indeed do most infinite-canvas untilising womics that post sporadically.

YWIBAYSFB (or NAMBLA for short)

Epic lulz.

I didn't realize the DC attack was extreme for this guy. I had just started reading the blog about 2 months prior to the DC post and found him mostly harmless with occasionally head-scratching reasoning. His sycophants sure seemed to think the DC post was spot on, but they were all Ebaums posters IIRC.

Satire, sarcasm, and a punchline that makes it all make sense!

Am I a bad person because I want to see some of those movies?
