Cool comic, I felt like there were too many characters being introduced at once though. I barely know anything about any of the characters and they're not really introduced so it reduces the enjoyment i receive. so far theres like 6 characters at least already, maybe you should stick to 2 or 3 for a bit and develop them and then introduce the others. or you can put up a cast page which would help. and speaking of cast page, your site is noticably missing important stuff like archives and fun extras like artwork or links or info on the creators or whatever. I like the coloring a lot but I see why you want to do most of the strips in b+w, o well. i'd like to see more of this strip!

It's great. I'm really enjoying it. I wouldn't worry about color versus B&W. But ya gotta get a banner up or we can't link to it. If you have one or want to make one, I'll put a link on my site. Keep up the good work. Bastard. I hate people who start comics that are that goo--er, uh, did I say all that outloud?

I think I'm in love.
I only had one problem, with the website, a couple of the comics were missing their NEXT buttons and their PREVIOUS buttons, so I ended up getting stuck and missing some. It could be just me, though, since my computer seems to take great joy in depriving me of comic through html hoo-doo.

This is awesome, definitely my sense of humor right here. There's a great contrast with the "fuzzy animals in the forest" and the subject matter you discuss. It's an interesting way to do the "college friends" setup. The twisted stuff is always pretty funny.
However, I got a little wary when the "gender switching" thing happened, which I often find is never a good idea and/or is a part of the author's sick and twisted sexual dysfunction. Initially, "fetish comic" came to mind, but the rest of it made those fears go away.
The art is really good, the style is pretty darn good. I'm guess you produce it all digitally, which would explain the clean lines. The backgrounds are great as well. Do you have them all on file and use them when necessary?
I wish the site wasn't so... bare bones. I'd love to link to this as the "Current Link of the Nondescript Time Period", but you guys don't have much of a site/linkbanner up yet. Let me know when you have everything set up, and I'll definitely toss the link up there.
Oh, and there's an error on the page 10 of the archives, where the "previous" button leads to page one. Maybe the KeenSpace automatic system might help keep that cleared up.

Neat. A couple of 'em got a real good laugh out of me. Art is tight, the colors are good, funny jokes - - I'm very jealous.

Ooh, shiny! I like the art. I agree with Neko in that the sex-change stories make me uneasy for some reason... but otherwise good. I also agree that your site could use a little sprucing up--just a little though. I personally prefer pretty clean sites, but maybe you could have images for the title/author stuff instead of just text? Also, I had an error on page 9 where there wasn't a next button...But yeah. Good stuff. Way better than mine most certainly. 
Oh, and also, I met a Josh Stevens not too long ago... but it's probably a different Josh Stevens. The one I met was really quiet and liked to rock climb.
