I feel bad now

I had a conversation with Josh the other day about his news posts, and I basically told him that he shouldn't bother with news posts unless he actually had something to say.  I'm afraid I might have hurt his feelings, though, because now he doesn't want to post ANYTHING except swear words and bitter resentment.

I want to make something clear: Josh's humor and mine are quite different.  I'm better with dialogue-based humor, and he's better with slapstick-type humor, which also has its merit.  However, he has chosen (perhaps unwisely so?) to draw "template-style" comics that require much less effort from him (and me), which makes it easier to put out comics regularly, but which also makes slapstick-based humor pretty hard to do in comic format.  And it's hard to do slapstick in a news post, unless you're getting into vivid descriptions of people getting hit with pies filled with poop or some other Three Stooges kind of stuff.  Plus, he was getting into the habit of just making news posts that were like "hey I'm posting a comic hope you like it", and I'd really like to avoid that kind of thing.  I mean, it's not like
people don't know that we're updating our site (except for the fact that not very many people actually look at our site yet).  They probably read the comic strip before they read the news post anyway, since it is located above the news post geographically and there is scrolling involved!  It's just common sense.

Anyway, I don't want Josh to feel bitter, so I'm going to start writing news posts more often myself so he doesn't feel pressured to just post any old thing at four in the morning because he feels like SOME kind of news should be posted.  Hell, I can write stuff just fine.  I LIKE writing stuff.

In other news, my Vietnamese roommate keeps cooking food and putting this horrible fish sauce on it that makes the whole house smell like B.O.  I can literally taste the air, and it tastes like how B.O. smells, like if someone condensed a few pounds of B.O. and then put it in the oven.  I think it's okay that I'm saying this about my roommate because, as I wrote in the "About The Authors" section, my roommates have no idea that this website even exists, and I don't intend to tell them.  But my house smells like doody right now and I'm not happy about it at all.

Sad.

Dammit, now I’m self conscious and can’t think of anything to type. 

Screw you, Alex. 

Screw. 

You.
