Again, another week, another ‘oh-so-nice-and-super-sweet’ comment! *sigh*

What is it about this strip that compels you to submit such a rude, d-baggy remark? It’s not to your taste? I get that. You’re welcome to your opinion.

But to express it in such a horrible a way, well, it just says a lot about you as a person. Which is sad, really. I’m sorry you hate my comic. And I’m sorry you feel the need to be such a jerk.

Love and kisses!
Brian

Hi Chuck!
It’s “unless fool” actually and it’s just a stupid non-word I made up. Its like a close relative to “useless”.

And yes, So Super Duper is a print comic that I’m posting one page at a time. It’s currently on issue 7 of the print comic. I’ve justed completed issue 10 in print.

Thanks for reading!
Kisses!
Brian

Brian,
is the irony of you rebuffing “rude d baggy remarks” about your strip in one breath, then having to correct hilarious spelling issues like “unless tool” in the next, completely lost on you? or is there some part of you that sees how that could be an amateurish mistake that actually earns a d baggy response.

Hey Brian

Don’t know if you remember but a while ago now (might even have been nearly a year!) I left a troll comment about this comic. When I looked at it the next day I realised that it was totally childish and made me look like an asshole. So I retracted it but I still said I had some various problems with the comic. There was a bit of a discussion about it all and homophobia and stuff.

Anyway, Newsarama is on my Reader so I still saw So Super Duper every week. But in the back of my mind was that conversation. And you know what? You’ve slowly won me over. I admit, I didn’t get it at first and I still wouldn’t say So Super Duper is my favourite comic ever but I have actually come to look forward to the updates. It’s an enjoyable read and I do want to see how Psyche’s story unfolds.

I thought you might want to know, what with the haters and all.

Wow! Jennifer! Well I must thank you for not only being brave enough to post your name here for all to see but to write such a nice and throughly sweet message. It’s people like you who make what I strive to do all worth it. You’ve made my whole month!
So thank you!
Brian

Hey Anonymous,
Wow, so he deserves to be “shamed for his mistake” huh? Ugh, how horrible. Do you plan on bringing some stones with you to make sure he feels really ashamed? Sad, sad, sad.

And it’s all relative, really, on what someone considers awful and horrible. I guess when you put your time and energy into something and put it out there for all the world to see, well, having it called shit seems pretty awful and horrible to me. Maybe if they added “donkey” in front of shit that might make it only slightly more awful and horrible. But that’s my opinion.

And I of course care about my mistake. How in the world would I, and could I, not? But it’s out there now and I don’t want to pull it out and replace it now that it’s been posted. Am I embarassed by it? Oh course! But I’m not gonna hide it and run away from it.

And I do read over my work, generally 20 times or more before I publish it, but just because I don’t catch something that doesn’t mean I don’t care. That’s why most writers have editors, to help them catch these mistakes, because as a writer it’s just too hard to see your errors, because in your mind you’re reading what you’re thinking when you write. I don’t have an editor, which goes along with that whole “indie creator” thing. Does that make it ok? Of course not. I should catch my mistakes, more so before they’re ever published. But you know what? I made a mistake.

Some people are good at catching their errors, some people, like myself suck at it. And to me, I kinda like “unless fool” now. It’d taken on a whole new meaning for me. And perhaps I’ll use it again, but this time on purpose.

And it’s funny how you wish me all the best. You have a strange and creepy way of doing that. Keep on trucking Anonymous!
Take care!
Brian

Hee hee. Touched a nerve have I? Oh dear. I think I’ve more than proven I’m down with some honest critcism. But hating on someone or something, calling stuff shit, and telling someone they deserve to be shamed for a mistake isn’t honest criticism. It’s petty, rude, and sad. Maybe point that “grow up” comment right back at your “anonymous” self. At least I’m man enough to accept my mistakes and put my real, true, honest name out there for all to see. What’s your excuse?!
Best of luck to you!
Brian

Haha. Hi “Seth.”
I never said a stoning had to equal death. How many stones are you planning on using? Sheeh!

To me your insertion that someone deserves to be “shamed” sounds like classic ancient-times speak. Hench the stone throwing comparision. I don’t think anyone deserves to be “shamed” for a mistake. Guess what, they happen.

Your supposed “advice” wasn’t advice at all. It was you telling me that I deserve rude comments, that I ‘earn them’, because I made a mistake. Where’s the advice there? You say that’s not treating me rudely? Uh, yeah, it is.

This “advice” is supposed to benefit me? How? Shamming me benefits me? Siding with someone whose screen name is “SuperDuperFAIL” is benefiting me? Telling me that I don’t care and I don’t proof read my book is benefiting me? Where’s this supposed advice?

I never said I didn’t deserve to be called out for my mispelled word, in fact if you re-read above I say that if you feel the need you should call me out on it, but that’s not what has happened.

I’m sorry that you can’t seem to back up your rude comments without coming off all angry. In this fabulous exchange I’ve never once said anything unkind, I’ve just disagreed with you. If that’s unkind, well, then you might need to look up that word as well as how to use the word “ironic!”
Have a terrific day!

Alrightee, Mr. Seth! Thanks for the “honest” non-criticism. Peace be with you!

Rough discussion, eh? On the ‘net, one of the most commonly used words is ‘idiot’—and that is typical of the level of discussion in most places.

But inquiring minds want to know: how many issues do you have planned. Is there a grand conclusion coming soon?

(and THANKS for your excellent, hard work)
