Wow, my mom could've added to our collection of our family featured in Ripley's* if only we'd known it was incredibly unbelievable that sometimes teeth come in oddly. (One of her canines went the wrong way and grew up instead of down, requiring surgery --- Believe it or Not!)

I wish he could. And with Keefe doing the art. That would be the best.

MJ, you don't have to keep up with anybody. You just have to tell Black Widow to go gently caress herself. Go on. You know you want to. It'll feel so good. I'm sure getting menaced by Hobgoblin would be heaven next to spending however many days with her.

I tried posting Mutts too one time, but I dropped it after a week. Trying to tie in three unrelated comix and give them a catchy title every day was just too much work.

And Mutts is about dogs and old people. That's, like, best case scenario for tying Pooch Caf� and Ballard Street together.

I can think of a few more words I'd like to ban.

What was the Bad Word, anyway?

If I remember right, there was no bad word and this is utter horseshit. He shut down the comments because people were coming on and telling him he sucks, and it wasn't all us comic strip megathread goons, I don't think. There were plenty of his "Honorable Master" people too who were there for him, but that wasn't good enough for his thin skin.

In rewriting history, he neglected to change or delete his original blog post, which I am not going to read in its entirety because I don't hate myself that much, but that I am pretty sure makes no mention of a complaint about a bad word or a request from a commenter to stop using such a word. Now that I think about it, even that's still a weak reason to completely shut down comments on his comic.

Honorable Master posted:

THE COMICS.COM "COMMENTS" OPTION, BOARDED UP
Many thanks to Skulker for alerting me to the spreading stench at the comics.com comments for Chickweed. A reader wrote to ask why the space suddenly closed up. This, with a few revisions, was my answer to him, which I then posted at the Pibgorn page on Gocomics. Members of the Order of The Couch there suggested I post the note here as well, and I take their advice.

�The comments section was walled up because I instructed my syndicate to do so. I began talking to my syndicate about closing it a few weeks back because of the few posts that kept creeping, on a daily basis, into the general discussion � comments that were, one way or the other, hateful, ugly, misogynistic, somewhat abusive or even threatening. Add to that, links to images that not only infringe upon my copyright but libel me into the bargain. My syndicate tried to dissuade me from closing up the commentary option; but I have to admit, every time I became aware of yet another flight of ugly fancy within its precincts, I became less convinced of the virtue of reserving it. I would seem to be punishing the many because of the actions of a few; however, I look upon commentary areas as watering holes where people can gather to talk and opine. When the water becomes polluted, I really think everybody should move to some nicer spot.

�I know some readers will feel that closing this avenue of expression smacks of censorship. However, my cartoons are always subject to detailed editorial review and censorship. I believe that misogynistic tirades and the general broadcast of hateful ugliness certainly deserve the same review. In my view, despite so many well-wishers, the comics.com watering hole is being repeatedly poisoned, and I don�t believe it should be an accompaniment to my work.�

I can only add to the above that I never object to criticism or dispute of my work. On the whole, I stay out of those issues, because I am going to do things the way I do them. I owe that to my readers, who can then argue the finer points.

He owes it to his readers to do what he does and then they can argue the finer points of his work, just not, you know, in the comments where people do that sort of thing.

Large cats actually can purr, but for some reason it's affected by their ability to roar. Nobody really knows why, but if they can't roar, like the cheetah or mountain lion, then they'll purr like a normal house cat. If they can roar, like most big cats can, then they'll only be able to purr on exhalation.

I agree in principle, but she does live at home, has no job, and is otherwise entirely dependent on them. There's an important weighing of options she may have to go through.

None of this will come up in the comic, of course.

America didn't recognize the PRC government until 1979. Yet another thing that Carter did that nobody ever talks about...probably because part of the deal was to stop recognizing the Taiwanese government as the legit China.
