And here I was yelling at Atsali to do the same... BTW... slightly off-topic... OK, HELLA off-topic... there is this site, "the Bad Webcomics Wiki"... you would not believe what the diseased turkey-baster who runs the place has to say about about Mr. Taylor's work! Apparently he is offended by gratuitous cleavage shots and cannot seem to get past that... wow... then I started perusing some of the other webcomics that this internal hemorrhoid finds distasteful... and find a goodly number of the webcomics that I enjoy!

"Improving our media with hatred"- I kid you not, THAT is the motto of this infestation.

Is there an internet equivalent to pennVK? Or Lysol?

I notice the absence of a name at the place in question... I guess that tells me all I need to know...

illiad wrote:yeah, and people still keep anthropomorphising it from 'human' standards... Its a PARANORMAL world, guys!! the pool has to deal with various others, who are 'short' at 15 feet high, and various other things, so 'human' cleaners are hopeless... :)
zachariah wrote:Not really for Para's. For all we know Brandi may have brought Stinky along to play fetch.

Another thought along with this. If it is that deep then how wide, or long it is? An Olympic pool is 50M by 25 M by 1 M (Or maybe a bit deeper). So keeping the same proportions this is 3250 M Long, 1625 M wide (total area is 1320 acres). This is a lake, not a pool, and a bit hard to hide. But being a lake means they can establish an ecology in there to keep it clean and healthy. Besides for all we know chlorinated water can be harmful for some para's.

This makes me wonder if the 65 means something other than how deep it is at that point.
You beat me to it... (I hadn't yet checked on the comic, since I couldn't get on the site, this morning...

I'm thinking length of pool, myself, the same way they mark down the yards on football fields (or the meters, up here in Canada...)

There's a resort - in Finland, i THINK - with a pool over 240 feet deep.

Ah, the holiday weekend. Missed deadlines, no one really wants to work...

I think I'd rather relax by the pool.

Yeah, I'd say that 11 inches of rain in less than 2 days does qualify as "damp". Sorta the way World War II qualified as "the recent unpleasantness". :)

Definitely a packet flood, and a serious denial-of-dryness attack. Those hackers ought to be ashamed of themselves.
Well, in Houston, you know it's a 'bit damp' when your car floats away... :/

Pools?? who needs 'Olympic' when there is a 3000 foot long *heated* one in chile?? or the 'deep joy' in italy, 40 Metres deep - just book a room and dive :)

Don't judge that site too harshly. Through it, I found a couple of new comics that I added to my reading list.

Yeah. Their "review" of "The Wotch" was ... fascinating ... particularly their comments about the creators in particular. Can you say "repressed homophobic projection"?

There is also (or was) a site called something like "Your Webcomic is bad and You Should Be Ashamed"...

================
Hmmm.

I just glanced over at my current avatar and thought i ought see what the jerks over there have to say about "Codename: Hunter"

The few times I've ever seen that guy say anything good about any webcomic, it was always in reviews of some OTHER webcomic. (For example, his review of The Wotch held up several other webcomics as better examples of gender-bending. The site includes a review of only one of those others, and it's a negative review.)

It appears that if he doesn't have anything truly horrible to say about a comic, he says nothing at all.

I just glanced at Your Webcomic is Bad and You Should Feel Bad.

All you need to know about is is encapsulated in the fact that he uses (probably without permission) this image at the head of the page:

I mean, Mallard FIllmore is a clangingly abysmally unfunny comic whose sole "joke" is "Liberals Are Stupid".

Badly told.
