Christina, based on your comment on my blog I know this is, at least partially, about me.
I'm not going to copy what I answered there; but I just want to say that I'm sorry I made you feel that way; I'm not in this to offend you, in fact, I like your work A LOT.
My column is not a review column; if I was to review a book of yours, the colors would get compliments, because I think you're one of the best colorists out there these days. On the other hand, if being mentioned in my column offends you, or bothers you, or whatnot, just say the word, and I won't ever mention any mistakes you made (or I think you made) again. EVER.

It's so not even just you. But yeah, you were definitely the straw that broke this camel's annoyed and tired back.
It's not even about what you think about my work. If anything, I'd be WAY less annoyed if you told me you didn't like my coloring. I'm totally cool with that. It's about the nit picking and the pure pleasure some people get out of the stupidest of small mistakes I and everyone else in comics make doing our COMMERCIAL ART JOB.
It's like you're telling me the kerning between the h and the e in the word "the" on line 139 is all messed up by 10 when I have to do 500 lines of type copy. I mean, wth.

I take no pleasure in pointing out honest tyo god mistakes, like the one with Vic's eyes this time... I understand that's a mistake, and I'm happy when someone points out one of mine (I make them all the time, and I run them in my column when someone points them out, in fact, it's the only non-comic I've ever featured in my column

Thanks for the work you do.
