[...] So we’ve been getting a fair number of newsbox mentions, blog links, trackbacks, pingbacks, humpbacks, whatever, since Fleen started up. [...]

Well, the lonely and living in a basement may not apply, but most of the webcomic authors I know, myself included, can certainly be considered geek/nerd-types. Normal is boring.

Also, the more I look at that graphic I stole from a book cover, the more I want to see an “A” and a “G” on the chests of those two guys.

Mak – I guess I don’t know who you’re replying to.

If you’re replying to my comment at the end about webcomic artists being lonely geeks… It’s not true at all. Every webcomic artist that I’ve met has been substantially better socialized than I am and has more friends than I do. There’s more than one reason I’m a critic.

My comment is meant entirely as a joke – aimed squarely at myself.

As Jon said – it is just me.

A little harsh but quite possibly true, I’m sad to say.

I think The Ryans counts more as a “Parody Collective”

The guy in the picture looks more like a hipster in the "ironic" style... or heâ€™s just a huge geek. I think this means I am officially old. Oh, and Jeff, it's just you.
