I'm honestly wondering how Dana thinks about people making fun of Raine Dog. :ponder: Generally cartoonists have a sense of humor about these things, unless the edit is REALLY mean-spirited. Probably the only one who'd hate it is someone like Wiley Miller. I used to be in a message board that Wiley was in. The guy is a dick in real life.

CHAT LOG SNIPPETS (note that I refer to Dana as "Cr." as short for "Cartoonist" - it's based on something from an Iain M. Banks novel where an architect was referred to as 'Ar.') <me> ah, Cr. Simpson! How do you feel about (good-natured) edits of _Heavenly Nostrils_ strips? <Dana Simpson> I enjoy those. <me> here y'go - http://imgur.com/dBtwpIu credited to "Irish Joe" from the Something Awful Forums newspaper comics megathread <Dana Simpson> Hahahaha. (...) <me> _Raine Dog_ was an allegory, yes but I'll leave that aside <Dana Simpson> It wasn't really, but everyone misunderstood it as one. (...) <me> are you okay with being mentioned as a cartoonist who has no problem with her panels being mercilessly tampered with by the gang on Something Awful? <Dana Simpson> If that's who I am, I own it, baby. (...) <Me> I'm reading the "Terrible Webcomics" megathread someone described an awkward tonal shift as: "It'd be like skipping forward a few years into heavenly nostrils and finding the unicorn and girl on the run after witnessing her dad murder her mom or something" congratulations, dana. You've become the basis of analogies! <Dana Simpson> Hahaha! (...) <Me> serious question: how far ahead do you work? like, Morrie Turner had a nine-month buffer <Dana Simpson> I've never been nine months ahead. Normally I try to be about six weeks up. The reason I'm in reruns now is, the syndicate keeps making me do things to prepare for [REDACTED] and it ate up my buffer. I'm not supposed to talk about the details, which actually sort of annoys me. (...) <me>a particularly vicious edit of Heavenly Nostrils, by "Cricken Nigfops" http://i.imgur.com/kuNyu0s.gif enjoy! <Dana Simpson> Oh, the Internet is sooooo clever.  =========== So there you go. I've given Kevin Frank all the edits we've made, and shown him the praise he gets here. Paul Gilligan loved the edit where Carmen asks how she can prove to Poncho that she really does like dogs, and Poncho holds up a pack of condoms. Paige Braddock's assistant appreciated, and said Paige would appreciate, the one where the girl from the '60s explains to Jane about what it's really like to have traveled forward in time 45+ years. "I don't know how anything works, I don't know what anyone's talking about, my parents are dead, my friends are all old and think I'm dead... oh, but phones are computers now. Hurray." (Jane's response: "well, when you put it that way, it sounds like a bad thing!")

At long last, the return of John Darling! When I fell behind last time, I'd gotten to the plot arc where John went to New York City to be a guest host on the Today Show. Punchline of strip 1: John accidentally kills a dog. Punchline of strip 2: John wants to gently caress Jane Pauley.

I'd send e-mail to Park Seung-hoon, except that I don't know what his address is. This is almosty certainly a deliberate choice on his part. Nearly all the Korean comics have an e-mail on them somewhere. It's All Right Chief Dharma

He's accusing Janis of being in the stone age because she uses Facebook? I'm thinking it's a joke about how she thinks she's hip and cool and in tune with the young peoples because she uses Facebook, but actual young people think Facebook is dumb and boring and old, get with the times GRANDMA. Blhue posted:Wigs and mustaches are pretty basic disguises, but what sort of crazy person possesses more than one hat? Sadly brother number one, knowing Inspector Danger's bizarre illogic, bought a hat with a tassel to frame his other brother, knowing that the Inspector would assume brother #3 had used a wig and fake mustache, and once again an innocent man was arrested. Also if I ever rob a bank, I think I will very loudly shout "MONEY TIME!" when I do.
