I'm not sure if that's the case here- print cartoonists afraid of losing their livelihood are likely to see these stakes as pretty damn high- but then again, they are attempting to resolve this on an internet message board, which undercuts the gravity of the situation somewhat. @Piro

I certainly never shied away from replying, but make no mistake it was Wiley and Rick who really start shit over there.

Sorta reminds me of all the infighting and drama that used to be in webcomics a few years ago. Was it Oscar Wilde that had a quote about how people fight the most when there's the least to fight for (or something like that)?
