I Gotta Know!...
  I just had a very disheartening argument over at the PA forums, the gist of which was that I didn't like someone else, so he said that TBM looks like a Rorschach test, and that no one likes it.  Now, this guy's a complete hack, and he can sit on it and spin, but, is he right?

  If this comic sucks, and the only reason anyone reads it is because I pester you to, either tell me, or sit there quietly.  If you like The Bearded Men, and want me to keep making it, tell me.  If I don't hear from anybody, I'll just close up shop and move on to other projects I don't suck at.

Thanks for your time.

I have the Noir finale here, but I'm too dejected to finish it right now.  My damn head is spinning.

Cheer Up, Hal

Buck Up. I read the posts involving that Packny guy, he's a crock of shite.  His story was contrived, he was grammatically six and, he had no idea whatsoever about anything even remotely approaching any sense of social interaction with people.  Don't sweat guys like that, he was getting lambasted pretty well out there and was really taking it out on everybody.

A guy I know told me yesterday that he thought the artwork on the comic was really good.  This dude is a senior lighting designer, has worked professionally at various theaters and once accused me of stealing his girlfriend so he had absolutely NO reason to say anything nice about the comic to me unless he actually thought it was good.

For every guy who claims the comic looks like a Rorschach test, there are 10 folks who look forward to the bi-weekly adventures of our small cadre of comic folk.  You're doing good work Hal, folks enjoy the comic, I enjoy writing it, keep it up.

Okay, now that that's been said, hurry up and finish my damn Noir series you potzer.
