I enjoy them myself, actually. (Definitely not scathing, though - I've done scathing and that wasn't even close) And if people want to waste time getting all upset because I or someone else didn't like the comic, then that's their time to waste - more power to them, I say<strong>!</strong> Thanks!

Stop adding disclaimers though, we all know it's your opinion and you know you're going to piss people off regardless. Embrace it. I’m glad your scathing reviews are back.

I was going to make the Pogo comparison as well as the Bloom County and then didn't. How awesomely serendipitous would that have been? Man!

I wonder where that was said before? Amazing that so long as people say good things about the comic you're happy and complimentary. (See the comment on Delos' review) As soon as they express opinions that aren't good or something they didn't like in the comic, you become insulting and begin putting them down. That's just a LITTLE narrow minded, isn't it? Particularly when the whole point of the review is to express an opinion? So as he said, I agree - don't read much into his comments - apparently he's either a forum troll or a rabid fanboy and so will slam anyone who dares disagree with the idea that this comic is the epitome of the art form.

You've got some good angles in the first two paragraphs then the whole concept of your dislike disappears with an inane rant, if you were to just leave that at the door with other preconceived notions I would take what you say as something to consider. This review is worth a read., but dont read much more into it. With all reviews of any type you need to read something and judge for yourself. - Phil (Frumph) Great similarity contrast comparing Calamities art style, you represented to the reader of the review the reasons “why you didnt get it”, or “why you got it but you’ve seen that particular situation before”.

Some l33t joke, I believe you'd say? Just as a side note, did anyone figure out why it’s called “Calamities of Nature,” or is that one of those “in the know” kind of things?
