Okay, a few issues here to respond to: First of all, I have no problem whatsoever with people grabbing art from my free comics to make their own custom wallpapers for their personal use. Just yesterday, a reader sent me a copy of a "harmony monkey" wallpaper he made for himself. It was cute. (Grabbi...

Found it!

Wonderful stuff, Tom! Serializer is really cooking this year so far.

So far, the numbers are still pretty modest, but that's to be expected. We're asking people to make a huge leap of faith into an unknown type of commerce. One by one, they're doing it, but it'll take a bit longer to become "normalized." As of today (January 21, '04) total sales of Part One of "The R...

...i've been thinking about it. it's a tough one to be honest. let's assume you know that you're close to system like his one. what would you do? just not care and walk away or would we maybe all react as he does? even if it is crazy by normal standarts. I know, for myself, that if I believed such ...

I agree. That first post was a real masterpiece.

Of course, let anyone wonder, I did mean it in this panel:

Indeed. Sorry for the delay on that, Pixel. My Inbox kinda went Boom last week for obvious reasons and I've been a bit behind on things. Could you do me a favor? Could you email me at scott@scottmccloud.com and let me know what email address you used to start the account. Perhaps we can then track d...

Personally, I'd prefer *not* to change to a threaded style.

Slashdot always gives me a headache. I much prefer the flat style we're using. It's more welcoming to newcomers especially.

alphacomp may already know this, but Brian Dewan and his Brother Ted are my oldest friends on the planet, so yes, the resemblence was inevitable!

And man, oh man, is TMBG's "Wicked Little Critta" dead on target.

I think we're doing okay. Most of the topic drift in the last month was due to the incendiary (sp?) topics I injected into the comics themselves. Now that we're past that for the time being, I expect it'll settle down a bit. Also, I kind of like to watch how discussions evolve. We're becoming a comm...

I *think* I've finally fixed the "unsu prised" bug. Flash is weird that way. Sometimes it'll drop a small detail out in when importing art from Illustrator.

Not sure what's up with that Christopher. I've copied your post and sent it along to BitPass to see if we can get to the bottom of it.

If you have more than one browser, might want to try that in the meantime.

Sorry about the inconvenience. We'll see if we can track that one down for you.

Naah, not a cameo. Just another guy with glasses and checked shirt. I gotta million of them. Anyway, I've added an option to both Parts One or Two for downloading. It's a direct link to the Flash File itself (as opposed to the html formatting page). Right click (PC) or Control-Click (Mac) to downloa...

That missing Eyeball should be back in now.

As for the ordering page, my guess, Obalatan, is that you were loading an older version of the page from your browser cache. Glad it seems to be working now.

Any other bugs? Please let me know!

Part Two start out looking similar to one, but you should be getting One. I just checked it and it does seem to be working.

Perhaps you could try pressing reload/refresh.

What exactly are you seeing?

Count to ten, y'all.

Yes, it is.

No, it isn't.

No sweat, Doc.

If you and Rip can bury the hatchet, I'm fine with it.

Or *redirect* the hatchet, even better. I'm *enjoying* the political debates!

The reason I discourage the occasional ad hominem is mostly because it tends to distract from the actual points being raised.

For the record, I'm happy to post heated political discussions here. Most of what's been said is interesting and even funny. Greg was right to flag it when heat became flames on this page, though. It's a hard line to draw, but here are the specific comments on this thread's first page that I'd consi...

Personally, I find the sorts of questions Connor Moran posed both interesting and valid. I don't think he was advocating some kind of "thought police"-style censorship, in fact he explicitly disavowed such things. There's no reason to jump all over him. I enjoyed the Lord of the Rings movies immense...

Looks like fair use to me. Go for it.

Thank you for asking.

Yeah, I don't mind long informative posts like vincent's at all.

Tolkien's letter to the Nazis was, I thought, particularly fascinating.

To my flamer: Don't worry one bit. Your email was an honest expression of legitimate frustration. I publicly attacked someone in public life through my words and I should be prepared to receive the same in return. I don't think you did anything wrong. Also, in the end, I got far more letters of supp...
