If I'm reading the strip right, it seems like she ran for some kind of equal rights thing.Also, Raine Dog better not be running for president

I agree. I'm not a fan of political humor in the first place but those stories were just lame.I just know we had Llewellyn run for president a lot and I'm sorry but it was NEVER funny. First time was kinda cute but ... I just never found it funny. Of all the Ozy and Millie stories, those were always my lest favorite.
You're not wrong. However, that does not mean we cannot express our opinions about certain storylines if we so desire.If I were a webcomic artist I'd be annoyed at people going "Ach, what were you thinking?!?" every time I wrote a bad storyline. DCS was doing whatever she wanted to do with her comic. She doesn't write comics for you guys, she writes them because she wants to, and chooses to share them with you. Just felt like I had to say that, feel free to correct me if you think I'm wrong.
I'll take your word for that as I wasn't here then. Stephen had his fans and I'm sure they enjoyed the story. I didn't. To each his own. Nuff said.for the record, I think that a lot of people used to post that they LIKED the arc where stephan went to silicon valley
I was all right with it. In fact I think Stephan was my favorite character that just showed up every so often.for the record, I think that a lot of people used to post that they LIKED the arc where stephan went to silicon valley
Uh, I feel that this line of thinking is why DCS has been teflon-esque to our criticisms on RD. When you make a comic, you are making it for the fans, as well as for yourself. DCS has forgotten this during the last bit of O&M, and especially during RD. How can I care about a comic that was written only with the author in mind?If I were a webcomic artist I'd be annoyed at people going "Ach, what were you thinking?!?" every time I wrote a bad storyline.

As well as inaccurate of any real standings. The arc with Millie getting in trouble for hitting Jeremy? yeah, I've lived that one out, and let me tell you, a school gets to the bottom of a kid, who's normally not violent, snapping and taking a swing at another.I got annoyed at the many times Ozy or Millie were mistreated by school officials because they are differant since it pretty much always played out the same and showed a very biased one sided view of authority.
I think comic artists shouldn't care what the fans think, and if they're doing things in their comic just to appeal to their fans, then they're just a fan-whore that probably also begs for donations too much. I don't think DCS is too much of a fan whore. Maybe I'm wrong. That's just what I think every comic artist should be like. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with doing a few things to appeal to the fans, but if it gets to the point that you're changing large parts of plotlines or character designs or personalities or anything like that, then it's not really YOUR comic anymore, and if you're not having fun creating your own comic, then there isn't much point.Uh, I feel that this line of thinking is why DCS has been teflon-esque to our criticisms on RD.

What about changing plotlines and having characters act very differently than they usaed to just to sooth the author's ego? Is that acceptable to you? Cause that's what DCS did. Webcomic authors need a fanbase, and need to keep it coming back for more, or else what is the point? Not caring about the fans leads to navel gazing.I think comic artists shouldn't care what the fans think, and if they're doing things in their comic just to appeal to their fans, then they're just a fan-whore that probably also begs for donations too much.
