Stuffed-suit comix
Perhaps. Scott Adams doesn't have to have a monopoly on cartoon business books. The popularity of the light storybook format of "The Ten Minute Manager" and "Who Moved My Cheese" indicates that the middle-manager types would love to be able to keep up with these business fads without having to do so...

I have to say this looks rather ill-planned. There are so many problems with this system that I don't know where to begin. Amounts are approximated sloppily, and you're told up front that some people might not get paid and some people might not have to pay. The middleman pays out first, trusting eve...

It's very shiny and beautiful, a technical tour de force, but I feel the content of this one merely has pretensions of depth. He builds an interesting world worth exploring and then makes it almost entirely incidental to what happens. Of his "woman suddenly becomes orgasmically one with everything a...

Was there really a firestorm over Graphamaximo? I sort of assumed it was another case of Scott Kurtz blowing the reaction out of proportion so that he could go "Whoa, look at me, I'm controversial, I'm hated and feared, people are up in arms over me ." Anyway, your Desiderata: Not bad, but I'm not c...

Robots Love To Dance
I wouldn't say that the dissenter robot is forcing the one-big-picture interpretation. Yes, it is aware of the other robots, but there are plenty of explanations for that if you imagine what the story might be of all these robots dancing. Plus, it says "this comic," telling the reader that it is a c...

Hamlet vs Macbeth in the ultimate smackdown
There are only two reasonably likely outcomes: 1. Macbeth cuts through Hamlet like cream cheese. He was in the way. 2. Hamlet manages to vanquish Macbeth but only at the cost of his own life. Tie game. So, on average, the odds are on Macbeth. Add to that the fact that Hamlet is a mama's boy, which p...

Has anyone noticed that allowing only the first picture completely erases the only connection to the number seven? If this doesn't bother anybody, I suggest that Mr Masters re-label the corners of his other six panels right down through A<> and post them, leaving only 14 panels to fight over, and ge...

Hmm, it's implied that the poison was found in the gastrointestinal system (i.e. it was something he "eight"), but the king is also shown staggering around with the arrows in his back, so he was alive before the arrows. I'm thinking it could be a Gosford Park scenario but with really slow-acting poi...

Wow, I think somebody might need to use a joker to finish this thought. A recap for anyone who can't see Flash or has lost track: "The House of Clubs' spies ran into the forest and were killed by a 2-headed beast that was always mad, because it had been spayed. And a tattoo that witnesses placed at ...

I think the form serves the content well, and the content serves the message well. That describes all of Scott's work. Scott makes comics, and while you look at a painting, you read a comic. The people who criticize Scott's artwork and choice of tools do so because they have forgotten to actually re...

I also remebered another thing I really don't like on web sites. Having a page that opens with a large image to tell you you are going to enter the site, then you have to click it to enter the site. Who in the world thought this was a good idea? And then who thought it was such a good idea that the...

Hi. I finally got around to peeking into the forum, and this brouhaha caught my eye. I think the kings of Keenspot have very little grounds to complain about being ignored by anyone. Badmouthing Scott McCloud is obviously an attention-getting device on the part of Crosby in the push to establish Kee...
