I definitely think that’s a large part of it. The outdoor cats I’ve known have, on the whole, seemed significantly less crazy than the indoor cats I’ve known.

Okay, good! I figured your comic gets complimented all the time, but you should know all your output is appreciated.
I had that Girl Scout parody, of the show “The Wire”, comic as my mobile background for a while. And I had never even seen the show before. I checked it out, because of that comic. Was a little disappointed there were no hustling Girl Scouts.

Wow, I had no idea it was getting that hard to get clicks. I have a smartphone, but no social media things, so I use a browser to view things. LIKE AN ADULT.

I, honestly, read one tumblr (David’s), and two Twitter feeds. His and yours. Because you two make me laugh and smile all day. But it never even occurred to me to use the applications. Because my browsers work? Also, they pressgang you into making accounts.
Hard pass.

Those applications can make things harder and be so buggy. It blows you are forced to utilize those other sites that keep people off the main site.

It seems like you do a good job of teasing when you post a one-panel tumblr post, does that not work on Facebook?

Maybe include the first few lines of the news post, with a “Read More” link? If it does not work, they should be considered enemies of both humor and the state.

Or just murder them for being too lazy to visit a website that takes less time to load than what they are using. Wait, that would not help.

Corpses cannot navigate browsers.
I have failed you.

Oh Im not offended at all. Far from it. I was just pointing out that it’s quite difficult to convince people to actually GO to a website now. The idea of a website being a destination is dying. Most people view the web through some sort of aggregator. For comics, it’s mainly Facebook. There’s no stopping or fighting this trend, so all you can do is embrace it and hope for the best.

Is there even a way to see the comic, news post, title-text, and comments without coming to the actual site?

All I meant is that you somehow make so much entertainment in a couple paragraphs, I would still come here, even if the comic was not here. No matter what direction you art goes, you have me as a reader. I just love your storytelling. It was a high compliment of your voice as a writer, not a slant, at all, of your art. Hope that came across, as I really did take time to articulate.

P.S. I come here through David’s site, which introduced me to yours.

That’s very kind of you to say. With all the social media sharing and re-hosting and what not, it’s worth it to give SOME people at least a partial reason to consider visiting the actual website. I also enjoy odd, stream of consciousness writing.

I’ve noticed that most toddlers are like this. When my niece was a kid, she’d fill a cereal bowl with milk or a glass full of juice, take a few bites/sips, then leave the rest of it sitting there all day.

My tags went invisible.
The playful tag was on for that one.

Basically. Enjoy the increase in free time and decrease in carpal tunnel.

Might I suggest upping your Brozen Time with the newfound hours?

The Comic alone is worth coming to the site everyday (as i do) but your the most consistent WebComicer (is that even a thing?) in filling in the context for your comics. It adds a richness of details that you could never draw or sketch. Truly Fantastic. Keep up the great work!

What I think we, but I can only speak for myself, are saying is that you are talented enough to do so, if you ever did. Like, if drawings became illegal or something.

Basically, I would hit up this site everyday just to read a blog entry. You know your comics are fantastic, and, just like your con-wife, your commentary is also killer.

Reading the comic, again, after the blog, just makes the comic even funnier. Context is always going to enhance stories. And the context is unreal.

So, please, never stop doing them.

Thanks, Ian. It’s nice to hear that from a long term fan.

In a way, right? Most cats, indoor cats at least, have an extremely small world view. My cats’ entire universe is about 1800 sq feet, and consists of them and 3 other humans. I think that inherently leads to them assuming things are supposed to be handled a VERY certain way. Any deviation from what they consider to be established patterns just isn’t taken that well. I know other people’s cats are super chill, but that’s never been my experience.

If you guys are telling me I can stop drawing and just write a couple of paragraphs and get a better reaction, I’m going to have to rethink my career goals.

I feel the exact same, the news posts are amazing.

In just a few sentences, I can no longer breathe, due to happiness.

Dude is clearly super fucking funny.

Never change, Joel, you sexy beast. /wink.
