From the Barkeater Lake comment section over at GoComics.com…
“Mark C:
It’s always a treat to read a comment from a writer, comics hack, philanderer or whoever you might be interested in and find out they think they’re better than all their fans put together. Pandolph, the last time you had some sort of angst problem and aired it all over a wonderful ‘toon like Barkeater Lake and then took your dive and quit I called you a self important InkSlinger or something to that effect. I know for a fact I nailed that InkSlinger moniker on you. You replied with the understandable drivel about lack of time and serious lack of money. Again, understandable. Then, guess what? All of a sudden the BL crowd is back and running and looking really good. At least for a few months it did. Then really weird, dumb story lines. Then I go to your fake rockstar URL and read you saying that your fans are a pain in your ass. And don’t waste my time saying that’s not what you meant. Bullbleeep. That’s exactly what you meant. BL is genius when it’s good. Those little militaristic chipmunks are the funniest bleeep I’ve ever seen. And I would like to see more of them. But I would like to think that the hack that has the brains to come up with some really funny bleeep would be enough of a man to appreciate the people who dig his work. Pandolph, I don’t know what your problem is and I don’t really care. Just get your bleeep together and quit whining. You have a winning thing here and it could make you a rich man and all you’re doing is bleeep it up.”
The Fake Rockstar post he is referencing is here (or just scroll down a few posts). I thought I was being fun and sarcastic in the post, but apparently Mark C found my true, hidden feelings behind my attempts at humor… And can I just say THANK GOD. I was worried I’d have to write jokes the rest of my life! HA!
My favorite bit is that I’m lumped together with “Philanderer”.
Glean what you will from this wonderful slice of anger. All I can say is I’m happy Mark C and I haven’t met face to face.
