    I don't know what that is but I assume it is a terrible webcomic that you have homed in on like a tomahawk missile slamming into its target.

    The Peanuts comparison doesn't work because Schulz drew a comic that touched on a variety of elements of life and thought. Charlie Brown not getting to kick the football wasn't the premise of the comic; it was a gag, albeit a symbolic one - Schulz believed that life was always going to disappoint you, and CB was his way of demonstrating that. It was an elegant and bittersweet way of conveying Schulz own philosophy.

    MA3 is not Peanuts. MA3 lacks class. It lacks elegance. It lacks charm. To whomever said that we readers, and I add, those readers who want to see character development and who are foolish enough to root for Gary, are the actual butt monkeys in the eyes of the author, I tell you absolutely agree.

    MA3 comic puts on airs. It makes social statements from the author's viewpoint, but then hides behind the "it's just a sex comedy" defense when challenged by angry readers. I would compare it to Hustler, but I actually have greater respect for Larry Flynt as a publisher than I have for MA3, because at least he makes a stand and sticks by them, rather than throwing up his hands and saying, "but I'm just a pornographer."

    In all truth, MA3 is nothing but potential. It has no identity or voice because the writing is too weak to handle anything more than what we have seen. It's too afraid of being labeled as "pornography" to be a good sex romp. It's too preachy to be a good farce. It's too shallow to be a romantic comedy. Its characters are too unidimensional to be a character-based comedy. It's too repetitive and gag-focused to be plot driven. In the end, it's the webcomic equivalent of a late-night Cinemax softcore porn, one that's occasionally funny, but worst of all, one that has gone on far too long without a satisfying payoff.

    Hahaha oh my God people are so mad that the main character didn't get a blowjob from the phallophobic Japanese girl

    The child abuse thread is by turns heartbreaking and truly appalling. Which I suppose is unsurprising considering the subject matter.

    I did that, but without the period. It worked out well, but now I have to do ironing. Ironing and cleaning are the bad parts of being a domestic goddess. I just want to do the cooking.

    Between the ages of 10-18 I had to iron shirts to wear each day of the week. I have entirely forgotten how to do it. It now takes me forever and they end up odd creases.

    God damnit, i meant to post in chat about the heinous child abuse thread, and instead posted in that thread.

    Internet again!

    Fucking finally.

    Protip: having routers and whatever you'd call the broadband box behind a couch under a table so that you have to crawl three metres through spiders, building supplies and dust to reset the damn things, bad idea

    also, rocking out on air guitar for an hour straight is a great way to work out.

    also also, jeep, sorry for being a dick yesterday

    you were right I was being a dick. Suprised I haven't eaten an infraction for it yet. Have got them before for less.
