On the other hand, I see the point you’re trying to make. I believe Mike Krahulik made a similar point regarding art in that the key to improving your craft is to constantly hate the work you’re producing. This lack of satisfaction means that you will be able to make something consistently better each time, assuming you don’t take the concept to its extreme.

Not a single fuck was given today….or ever really-

I wonder if all the people who have complained about invincible, planet-juggling Superman being impossible to write for over the years might have missed the point. Yes, there’s no credible threat for Superman that doesn’t involve kryptonite; so the Silver Age stories didn’t even try. There’s a reason Superman’s rogues gallery consists of either a generic mad scientist or a corrupt executive with no combat abilities whatsoever and absolutely nothing else. Superman is supposed to be a gigantic Mary Sue; that’s basically the whole point of the character.

The problem is, Ishida established Seymour first… and Seymour was regularly mocked for his ignorance and inflexibility. He was a fool who got shown up and humiliated for his extremism. The strip made it clear that arrogant extremists would all be handled in this same irreverent and comical manner, and it followed that pattern for many years.

Then Xanthe came long, and she got to be the sole exception to the rule; her arrogance was never exposed, she was never shown the error of her ways in embodying extremism. Instead, she always won. That doesn’t work. And it isn’t funny. Extremists of all stripes used to be fair game in Sinfest, with the end lesson being “There are some good ideas in most beliefs, but extremism always backfires.” Now, Ishida has built a fence around radical feminism and said “No, these ones get away with it.”

Personally, though this may not be your type of thing (and frankly it’s not really mine either) i think it’s wonderful that someone out there is thinking about what made them happy when they were young, and that they are trying to give some of that feeling back to a new younger generation.

Overall I think this is a grwat review for the same reason. It looks at the target audience and judges its performance ( i guess?) based on that, not simply based on the reviewer’s taste… juste because something doesn’t have edgy, adult themes, doesn’t mean it’s not worth anything.

Also El Santo, props on working out the comment box! It’s nice to be able to type on a mobile device in a text box and actually be able to go back amd correct mistakes, as opposed to the box staying the same size and not allowing one to scroll in the box because the webpage just scrolls instead….. this is now the only site that comments are not a pain to write with a touchscreen. Thanks!
