lurking on a webforum, people talking about webcomics

[diaryarena]

This is not the important interesting post I have been planning to write for some time now.

But I lurkin' on the somethingawful forums and someone just said something REALLY GOOD about the critical response to things like webcomics, which are free and easy and nevertheless (or because) have dedicated fans with particular and high expectations.

Humor isn't necessarily even meaningful in ANY comics.
But, yeah, that sounds like a restatement of the whole "you're only as good as your latest thingy" viewpoint which is, you know, not the most mature viewpoint.

Also: I'm surprised that SA is getting cool again! Wow, I'm a little sad my account is dead dead deadski.

I suppose it's been a decadent, decayed culture* long enough that a new civilization is rising from its ashes.
