Well, I would say that I'm glad that they're willing to "take a chance" with "different" shows, but I know the only reason their doing it is because of the success of ATHF.

How about a sharp stick in the eye? It's less boring and someone will be entertained.

Someone should try them at the same time.

If having a ferret down your pants is bad, I don't want to be good.

Wow... that's hard to imagine, Boondocks as an animation... I doubt it'll work.

I like the comic, and can't really blame him for getting exhausted/frusterated/furious etc... You'd think with all this fodder it'd be easier, but I think it actually makes things harder. I notice a lot of them are struggling to keep calm enough to even make a statement anymore. Kind of like how Jon Stewart keeps banging his head against the table. It's a very "I wish I WERE making this crap up!" kind of a mental exhaustion. I dunno, just a thought. I've been feeling that way just in general, so I sympathize with him.

Mallard Filmore makes the urge to kill rise though. Which is sad, because I think real duckies are cute.

As authors it is our duty to create lovable enticing characters, and do horrible evil things to them.
I don't mind straight people, as long as they act gay in public.

I don't know either of them, but it seems that you like one and hate the other depending on what side of the political divide you are on, eh?

I like 'em both.


Which may be why I sided with the ferret.

It's just comics....

Really, if a comic pisses you off, then it's doing its job.
