The comic knows that I do not drink coffee, and in accordance with that personal preference, does not bring it to me. We have a good relationship.

But is it self-sufficient? If you wake up in the morning, is a fresh comic waiting for you with a nice cup of coffee and some bagels?

Sorry for the shameless self-promotion Jeff, but I would have to say that it is the most middle-of-the-road, adequate, mild, and entirely sufficient comic fare you will ever read.

I have got to agree. Tasty Human Meat is an excellent comic. It is being added to bookmarks as we speak. Except not. Because I added it a while ago.

Paul… when did you start making a comic?

Is it any good?

Don’t worry. I always feel bad trying to tell people to read my comic too. Even when trying to act truly shameless, I feel a twang of guilt. But that doesn’t stop me. They’ll never take me alive!

Thanks for the kind words! I definitely wasn’t expecting a write-up, much less one so soon. Hooray for the interwebs!

Re being sorry: I am not used to marketing myself, preferring to just draw the comic and let people read it if they feel like. Telling people to read my comic always makes me feel hokey and strange, especially if I don’t know the site or forum or whatever. I hate it when people spam me to read their comic, so why would I do it to anyone else? (Except for now, of course.)(Heh.)

I… asked you what you meant when you said pants, Mr. Lowrey.

All of my pants say “Made in China”. Does that help?

I agree that we generally don’t really think of the real meaning of “shameless” when we accuse ourselves of “shameless self-promotion.” I myself am from Iowa and we never do anything shamelessly. Self-promotion, in particular, is especially shameful. But in the world of webcomics, it’s necessary. If you don’t promote yourself, no one is going to do it for you. Maybe we can accept a very liberal definition of “shameless” that means “with some shame, but not enough shame not to do it.” Like a definition of “vegetarian” that involves eating fish.

And speaking of fish, excellent recommendation in Alternate Universe Comics. I’m digging it.
