Funky’s starting to freak me out, Brandon. I mean, who gave us the right to play God?!

I went to a community college, for cryin’ out loud!

But will you be reviewing based on your own opinions of the book, or what the characters would think of the book?
And if the latter, how can you be sure their opinions won’t start to overtake your own when reading a book, risking the fact that you may end up permanently blurring the line between the character and yourself?
Have you even considered the risk?
Have you???

My original idea for the comic was just a comic that reviews other comics. But I thought that would be somewhat boring. When Sean came onto the project, he suggested a more story based idea of it being about the critics as well as them doing reviews of comics.

I love the Frasier explanation! If we ever put out a book, I actually want that on the dust jacket.

And I see Brandon has addressed it more succinctly!

The strip will be about the reviewers, so while you’ll see them actually review comics, the strip will be more about the reviewers.

Sorta like how you’d see Frasier actually take calls, but the show was about Frasier.

I say all this not having seen any of the finished strips, but that is at least what I’ve been told the strip will be. And the roughs I have seen look like that.

A little bit of both, Funky.

So are they actually going to be reviewing books and basing gags on that, or is it just a poke at comic book reviewers?

Corned beef? With swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and Russian dressing on rye?

Oh, sorry…thought this was the line for ordering.
