I left an epistle on the GoComics comments for that cartoon with my reasoning that I won't repeat here, but you can read it if you like. It is critical of the cartoon in question, but not because of Karen Carpenter. I will definitely be following your work now that I know about it.<br /><br />Michael F. <br />Wichita, KS Scott – I realize it was six months ago, (I just discovered your work through being subscribed to Tim Whyatt's blog, and he also responded to the survey from the David Wasting Paper blog) but I agree with Jeff in that it's not offensive.

I wasn't "offended," per se, but I did feel it crossed a line, given the way she died. It's nice to know you did feel you crossed the line.

I enjoy your strip, but probably would have stopped reading if it had gone off in that direction too often (just because it wouldn't have been funny for me any more).

Like he said, it's been a long time, it's not like it was a Michael Jackson joke. I agree with Jeff, very funny cartoon, and I don't feel it's in bad taste.

The cartoon is very funny, and I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long, long time. All the humor-impaired fusspots crying about this comic would apparently rather read Marmaduke (wow, big dog) or the Lockhorns (I hate my spouse) or Garfield (Mondays suck) or something else "safe."<br /><br />And fercryinoutloud she died over a decade ago--close to TWO decades. You don't get to play the "too soon" card, guys.<br /><br />Funny comic. Thanks for the laughs. You've nothing to apologize for.
