I mean, really. Why even “review” (the word scarcely applies here) a comic if you’re going to emit something like the above? Beyond misreading the (small part of the comic you read) entirely, I’d say your greatest sin is almost one of omission. Not a single mention of the artwork – a tenet of Girly, in my opinion. Bold, boppy and savvy, reflecting inventiveness and borrowing elements from comics’ long tradition, the art is what makes me go back again and again.

Oh, and… MARSHMALLOW CAT. Come on. A review of Girly needs a mention of Marshmallow Cat!

I mean… This is just a ridiculous un-review. Got something against Mr. Lesnick personally or something? Tease you in grade three? Dated your sister? Because whatever this is, it ain’t a review of Girly – one of my favourite web (or any!) comics out there.

I think we shold all just take a review as a comment which effectively it is, and just accept that everybody has varying opinions.

Just don’t stop making girly Josh because its amazing.

Why won’t everyone just agree with me all the time? Why is everyone else so wrong about everyting? Baaaaaw!

If this was indeed supposed to be a review of the comic as a whole, it might help to (GASP) actually read the entire comic. As a webcomic reviewer, you should be going through the entire archive of a comic before committing to an opinion of it and the idea of writing an article even crosses your mind. Yes, it’s time consuming and tiring, but without doing that how can the article be accurate? As we see here, for example, it can’t.
Assumptions and not getting the whole story make for inaccurate tripe like this.

For some reason I have a feeling that this article was an attack on Josh’s choice to use porn (Slipshine) as a means of income. Of course if someone uses an alternate means such as that to support themselves he MUST be a sex obsessed freak!
Although I do not have any solid evidence that Josh is not a nympho (except that from what I’ve heard he’s a really nice guy), I do feel that both his Adult and “Clean” work is in good taste, and I have yet to be offended by them (because I’m female so my chance of getting offended by sex and nudity is 100x more likely than a male, amIright?).

Of course, there’s a chance that you either don’t know about Slipshine or have no problem with it. In which case, this was just one poorly executed article in a sea of brilliance (which I have yet to read) and it will never happen again.

I LIKE IT!

Oh, that’s okay; so if he grabs a woman and starts trying to have intercourse with her, and she fought back, he’d stop ? WHAT A GENTLEMAN.

Seriously, this comic is unusual. The woman is found lying in the street afterwards, naked, and everyone’s response is “wow, she must have had an awesome time !”

I get that it’s a joke. But it’s an odd joke. Does anyone here think it’s romantic to be followed through an alley by a stranger ? It may not be rape. But it doesn’t seem to be entirely consensual either.

Please try to see where Kate is coming from- if this were a scene in any other movie or comic, if this were DC, we’d be scratching our heads. I understand that the comic’s creator is anti-violence and anti-rape, but the message has to carry in the medium.

My two cents.

Disagree?
… ’twill be the grout.

Josh had better try to keep me from being a complete idiot and thinking that!

“This comic doesn’t have rape in it, but it kind of REMINDS me of comics that have rape in them, so I don’t like it,” is not a criticism that any author should be taking seriously. That kind of “baggage” belongs to the reader, not the artist or the comic style.

And anyone who draws a comic that discusses sex can expect to see that baggage expose itself through reader interpretations, because man, EVERYONE has some kind of baggage about sex.
