I loved your first issue. Uschi is the next Grant Morrison, Disco Steve is the next Scott McCloud, and Mxy is the next...uh...

Anyway, in Untitled, one of the characters has two heads. Can I have a No-Prize? I wish there had been hookers in my high school like in Four-Color Garbage, and I'm suing over your use of Max Adventure.

I hope I don't have to wait a year for the next issue. Keep up the great work.

Sincerely,

Yes, a first critique!

You're lying out of your teeth, but thanks for humoring us(I say "us" even though, technically, I didn't contribute at all to this issue)!

But really, thanks for the compliments. I'd like to get another one in a month or two, though that might not be entirely plausible.

He's Jewish, too, isn't he? Sorry, that's the connection I make to everything....

I liked this first issue. I really liked Uschi's. Was I the only person who noticed that the farting two headed person had different pants? Very Kafka.

I was a bit perturbed that Disco decided to devote his strip to my high school years. The greatest disturbance came from its accuracy. Disco has his fingers on the pulse of teenage angst.

And Mxy's Max Adventure had a talking bird, which was obviously a tribute to Gaiman's Sandman. Nice touch, with some refreshing honesty at the end. Max himself looked like AstroBoy, which I thought was rather cool.
I noticed the changing pants thing when Uschi sent it to me, too. I thought that was funny.

Heh, when I read the title of the script Disco sent me, I thought "he's writing about Dave?" He has confessed his love for you before, after all...

I thought Mxy's was a parody of Astroboy when I first saw it.

[no no no]

You're suppose to play along!

"Oh, yeah, sure, that was definitely a reference to Dante's The Divine Comedy.......I'm smart."
