Let me get this straight: He comes to beat up his friend for screwing his poor sister, and before making his entrance, decides to abandon his slutty sister as punishment. "I'm on my own now? Oh that's great, I didn't know you were there in the first place." Way to be the adult there, Johan.

“I’m on my own now? Oh that’s great, I didn’t know you were there in the first place.”

Woah, meta. There is really only one person ruffling their feathers, and she already quieted down ;-)

I do ENJOY IT, and I do think it's a GOOD COMIC: but, I don't think that it should win, over all other comics, an award for it's layout. You know? Let's just remember, they were debating comics which are said to be THE BEST: not just "GOOD" or "GOOD WHEN YOU GET USED TO IT"--several of his comics have left me confused until I read them 2 times, and not because of the science or the storytelling.... So, I do think, as an annual award, it doesn't have much meaning when a comic like DC is up for good use of layout: I think that Aaron is VERY new to cartooning & creation of comics, and it'd be pretty hasty to say he was great at layout. He's experimenting & enjoying occasional success, and also occasional failure: I haven't seen anything yet that convinces me he'll consistently produce a solid landscape. Does that make sense? Don't worry about being up your arse, you don't sound it, and it's totally valid that you disagree with me or want to point out where you think I'm wrong ;-) Hmm, personally, I find it hard to read Dresden Codak: I don’t think it’s using the medium well.

I do think you are being a bit too hard, Michelle. Much as you dismiss their crits of Phoenix, so to can your crits of them be dismissed: "She doesn't really give anything constructive or concrete, really, it's just her opinion that it's a bad format for a podcast. Lots of people LOVE the podcast, and that STYLE of podcast!" See? So, I think it's enough to leave it at, "I really disagree with the format of the podcast, it's not something I enjoy, and I disliked the views they expressed on Phoenix Requiem. I think it's a beautiful & well-told narrative." Instead you came in here attack dog style "It's not even worth listening to their garbage cast".... that's why people are being resistant... I'll let it go too now, I mean, I'm not invested in this, just wanted to point out that there is no need to be so upset just because you didn't enjoy the podcast! If Rene thought it was worthless, she wouldn't have linked to it at all...! So why try to convince her that a great spot on a show, with a lot of interesting questions & conversation, is worthless? :) LOL Hec.
