Did you say Mike M? Isn't he that Douchbag that used to be on the webcomics irc channel room and talked like he was 14?

Is this the same guy?

Yes. And he contributes nearly HALF of the content of this supposedly superior and intellectual comic news site.

That flash of light is you blinking repeatedly. I speak from experience.

Ha ha ha.

The webcomics community has hit a new low, and that is the webcomic examiner.

Nice layout though.

Mike M, oh my god. Ha ha ha. Mike M. Ha ha ha.

Yep -- that's the guy.

Now he apparently thinks he's some sort of webcomics sage or mentor.

As opposed to me, who is fully aware that he is your webcomics GOD!!!!!!!

LJ Cut ple.... oh wait.

Speaking of Bartenders and the such, I've noticed that people open up more on the internet than in real life.

yep, very true, that.

And again, on the Intermaweb, people can develop/create power/personality for themselves.

Look at me -- I'm really a huge dorky loser, and my wife doesn't even exist! Hell -- every one of my LJ friends are just aliases I made up!

Even YOU're not real!

NONE OF YOU ARE REAL!!!!!

If you were really smart, you'd declare the damonk persona dead and keep me, because I'm smart AND pretty.

(and I thought that damonk WAS pretty??? If this were the Glam era, he'd SO be a hot chick-man!)

i agree, it seems like it's almost ready for prime time, but needs quite a bit of fixing up before it becomes respectable.

and right on with your rebuttals to the "sexy losers reconsidered" review - seems like they're even just making up "facts" to support their position.... but i guess you never should let the facts get in the way of a good story, right? haha...

if it continues like this in the near future i can't see it as being taken seriously at all.

Unless it is SUPPOSED to be funny. In which case it fails as well. *sigh* At least WE'RE funny, eh? EH?

Webcomics Examiner was created, it seems, to be a "serious" site about webcomics, as opposed to Comixpedia, which is sort of flippant and casual. But it's not serious, it's just self-serious.

Wait, a site written mostly by Joe "Frank's Arch-Nemesis" Zabel and Mike "I Hate Most Webcomics But Am A Genius With Them Myself At The Age of 15" M?

This... is something. I'm not sure what.

Here are my thoughts on your thoughts:

1) Simply pouring yourself drinks for 20 years does not make you a bartender, Frank. Even if the number of drinks that encompasses is more than the members of Motley Crue drank from 1980 - 1990, calling yourself a bartender is horrifying.

2) The first line of your post is a thinly-veiled attempt to ingratiate yourself with the WE-weeheads (my just-coined name for them). "Get an editor"? Cripes, Frank, why dontcha just staple a resume to a nude photo of yourself and mail it in? It'd be less transparent. But more horrifying.

3) As a reviewer, you will never possess any power or charm. Unless it's horrifying charm.

4) There is no 4th thing, but I am still horrified.
