some people just have a vulgar sense of humour... it doesn't mean they aren't true fans of your comics.
That said, good idea taking the comment bubbles out.

I found the bubble extremely redundant, as the featured comment was shown directly after it anyway. Very good choice.

As a member of the 'non-commenting masses', I thank you. I've always felt it's wrong to give the loud obnoxious minority any more power over the sensitive quiet reader than they really need. It's why they don't hand out megaphones at libraries.

hahah... pretty sure that's not ACTUALLY why they don't hand out megaphones in libraries.
sweet comic though. not much of fan of the current one (not my style i guess), but i love pretty much every other one so i can't complain.

The majority of the comments were just telling you to be more subtle in the first panel. You have a history of altering comics to make them better (the slug one?), so why not listen to the constructive criticism? The picture in the first panel is an obvious subtlety, so much that it ruins the punch of the final panel.

Let me be clear. I don't mind constructive criticism. I have thick skin and I can take it. And, indeed, I do take the criticism to heart sometimes and make adjustments.
Doombus lays it out pretty well in his/her comments above so I'll just point you there.

Well personally, I've found the last couple of comics to be subpar to the bar you set for yourselves with the weekly comic. Calling those who mention this "everyday anonymous dickfaces" and deleting one of the systems you set up for that criticism leaves an unusual message. Honestly, I hope next month's contribution is a little more subtle than this and you guys can return to form.
Doombus

I don't get where the people who claim they're being silenced get off. You can still comment on strips by clicking on the strip title and then scrolling down to see the comments. All this move does is remove an eyesore from an otherwise well laid out website, an eyesore that would often seemed to dislike whatever was put up.
There is a distinction to be made, between criticism and negativity. Criticism in this context would be comments genuinely made to help improve the quality of the comic. Saying that the first panel lacked subtlety, whether one agrees or not is criticism. People giving criticism of this sort are not what Jeremy calls "dickfaces." The "dickfaces" are the ones who leave belittling comments (see bubble boy below) or comments which cannot lead to improvements. (see Emeline)

Thanks Doombus. You hit the nail on the head (although Emeline's just referencing an inside joke about our mutual friend who probably draws at least ten penises every day).

Do you guys do requests?
Panel one: line of ants carrying bits of leaves.
Panel two: one ant finds a five dollar bill.
Panel three: ant walks out of a 7-11 with a dish of nachos.

I also have a request. I'd like to email it to you so people don't steal my idea. What kind of cut can I expect if you do decide to use my idea?
Off
· 7 months ago
Well, it's rather unlikely I'd end up using your idea unless I really really loved it to pieces. But you're welcome to e-mail it to me. As far as cuts go... Sorry. Yeah, I sell some ads and some prints(or used to.. they're shut down for the moment)... but doing this thing is a just hobby that in no way provides a substantial amount of income.
Off
· 7 months ago
We don't really do requests but if people have ideas, of course, I'm happy to read them over. I have to really love an idea before I devote the hours and hours to drawing it. I'm also even more picky now that my time is more limited. Your ant idea is funny but probably not my style anymore.

There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

Listen, George. Enough is enough. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Don't count your chickens before they are hatched. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. If life deals you lemons, make lemonade. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. And don’t forget, Good things come to those who wait.

Heh heh, a tribute to Al Jaffee, and yeah, your comment board seems to have become infested with dickbutts, asshats, and dingbungers. Nothing says you have to have a comment board at all. Put up an email link for people who actually have something to say and delete the dingbungers.

In such a night, when every louder wind Is to its distant cavern safe confined; And only gentle Zephyr fans his wings, And lonely Philomel, still waking, sings; Or from some tree, famed for the owl's delight, She, hollowing clear, directs the wand'rer right: In such a night, when passing clouds give place, Or thinly veil the heav'ns' mysterious face; When in some river, overhung with green, The waving moon and trembling leaves are seen; When freshened grass now bears itself upright, And makes cool banks to pleasing rest invite, Whence springs the woodbind, and the bramble-rose, And where the sleepy cowslip sheltered grows; Whilst now a paler hue the foxglove takes, Yet checkers still with red the dusky brakes When scattered glow-worms, but in twilight fine, Shew trivial beauties watch their hour to shine; Whilst Salisb'ry stands the test of every light, In perfect charms, and perfect virtue bright: When odors, which declined repelling day, Through temp'rate air uninterrupted stray; When darkened groves their softest shadows wear, And falling waters we distinctly hear; When through the gloom more venerable shows Some ancient fabric, awful in repose, While sunburnt hills their swarthy looks conceal, And swelling haycocks thicken up the vale: When the loosed horse now, as his pasture leads, Comes slowly grazing through th' adjoining meads, Whose stealing pace, and lengthened shade we fear, Till torn-up forage in his teeth we hear: When nibbling sheep at large pursue their food, And unmolested kine rechew the cud; When curlews cry beneath the village walls, And to her straggling brood the partridge calls; Their shortlived jubilee the creatures keep, Which but endures, whilst tyrant man does sleep; When a sedate content the spirit feels, And no fierce light disturbs, whilst it reveals; But silent musings urge the mind to seek Something, too high for syllables to speak; Till the free soul to a composedness charmed, Finding the elements of rage disarmed, O'er all below a solemn quiet grown, Joys in th' inferior world, and thinks it like her own: In such a night let me abroad remain, Till morning breaks, and all's confused again; Our cares, our toils, our clamors are renewed, Or pleasures, seldom reached, again pursued.

When it comes to penis enlargement or marire penis most people tend to buy different accessories which really work (some better than others) but I don't get it with the pills. Would people really expect to grow their equipment with pills ?

If you put your comic on the web... then be ready to accept criticism.
If you can't stand it, you might as well print your comic for yourself only, and hang it on the door of your bathroom, so everytime you gotta go to the loo, you can see your comic and smile to yourself... without all these annoying people making comments and suggesting improvements.

R.I.P. "TRUCK BEARING KIBBLE"
In such a night, when every louder wind
Is to its distant cavern safe confined;
And only gentle Zephyr fans his wings,
And lonely Philomel, still waking, sings;
Or from some tree, famed for the owl's delight,
She, hollowing clear, directs the wand'rer right:
In such a night, when passing clouds give place,
Or thinly veil the heav'ns' mysterious face;
When in some river, overhung with green,
The waving moon and trembling leaves are seen;
When freshened grass now bears itself upright,
And makes cool banks to pleasing rest invite,
Whence springs the woodbind, and the bramble-rose,
And where the sleepy cowslip sheltered grows;
Whilst now a paler hue the foxglove takes,
Yet checkers still with red the dusky brakes
When scattered glow-worms, but in twilight fine,
Shew trivial beauties watch their hour to shine;
Whilst Salisb'ry stands the test of every light,
In perfect charms, and perfect virtue bright:
When odors, which declined repelling day,
Through temp'rate air uninterrupted stray;
When darkened groves their softest shadows wear,
And falling waters we distinctly hear;
When through the gloom more venerable shows
Some ancient fabric, awful in repose,
While sunburnt hills their swarthy looks conceal,
And swelling haycocks thicken up the vale:
When the loosed horse now, as his pasture leads,
Comes slowly grazing through th' adjoining meads,
Whose stealing pace, and lengthened shade we fear,
Till torn-up forage in his teeth we hear:
When nibbling sheep at large pursue their food,
And unmolested kine rechew the cud;
When curlews cry beneath the village walls,
And to her straggling brood the partridge calls;
Their shortlived jubilee the creatures keep,
Which but endures, whilst tyrant man does sleep;
When a sedate content the spirit feels,
And no fierce light disturbs, whilst it reveals;
But silent musings urge the mind to seek
Something, too high for syllables to speak;
Till the free soul to a composedness charmed,
Finding the elements of rage disarmed,
O'er all below a solemn quiet grown,
Joys in th' inferior world, and thinks it like her own:
In such a night let me abroad remain,
Till morning breaks, and all's confused again;
Our cares, our toils, our clamors are renewed,
Or pleasures, seldom reached, again pursued.
