What a pretty comic.
I love the expressions in Charles. So subtle. So realistic. So effective.

That doesn't seem that odd a reaction when taken in context with what happens next in the strip, to me, she is surprised.
In general, most people look at who's speaking when someone is (unless they've got a reason to do otherwise). It's one of those things that a lot of people forget when they're drawing social scenes.
Giving constant unsolicited criticism can be disparaging to an artist. I know you guys are trying to be helpful, but criticizing her work every time it's posted, as helpful and polite as you might feel it is, might be a bit much.
One the one hand I agree that continual criticism might be wearing, but on the other, this is the webcomics discussion thread. I feel like posting your comic here pretty much opens you up to whatever commentary folks are moved to give. And as Spex said, at least we're pointing out the parts that we like, too!
You have to admit that the ones for which a creator is present generally get an inordinate amount of attention. It's not necessarily bad, but it can definitely be excessive and exhausting, especially when the attention is largely critical. Even one negative comment, however polite, constructive, or well-meaning it may be, has the power to completely undermine any number of positive responses, be it one, one hundred, or one thousand. Some will be better than others at dealing with them, but all creatives--every single one--will be impacted by that negative comment to some extent. Now imagine how it feels to get more negative comments than positive. It's gonna start to feel real bad, real fast.
I'm exaggerating for the sake of making a point, obviously, and this isn't an argument against criticism at all, especially if it's constructive, but it's something I think people don't think about too hard before they express their opinions about something someone has made. Creatives need to be prepared to receive commentary of all kinds when they decide to post their work publicly. However, that doesn't mean we as viewers/consumers have to give them unsolicited criticism on every piece they post.
I think you guys really like the fact that the creators of some of these comics hang out around here and are more accessible that way, and I don't think they need to be babied or anything, but it wouldn't hurt to be more considerate of the fact that you're talking about their work, which they are emotionally invested in, and maybe not heap crits on them every time you see something that can be improved on unless they really want that level of feedback. Asking for crits and getting them feels very, very different than simply receiving them whenever.
Or you can keep saying whatever you want because this is an internet forum and that's what you do.

Just my two cents.
This is the sentiment I'm too dumb to put into proper word sentences.

The secret to posting like Lexxy is to spend at least an hour on it. Or two. Or five (although that's more like how long it takes me to make a long blog post).
Incidentally, this is one of the reasons why I don't post in the AC anymore. I would spend literally all my time trying to make well thought out crits.
I enjoy seeing what sort of reactions my comic gets on here, I find the feedback encourages me on. I've been pretty lucky though since even when some people said they didn't get it or like it they still said the art was good.

I spend 10 or 15 minutes writting my posts sometimes because I am afraid of saying something stupid, or have trouble writting exactly what I want to say.
She posts each webcomic in a separate post due to limitations of the commission tracking software, if she crammed them into a single post she'd only get paid once!

Natasha Allegeri needs to stop trying to steal all of my dollars by being entirely too good at art.
Comickers and readers both.
This explains so much.
