What constitutes an "indie" comic in this strip always cracks me up.
Scott McCloud is published by Harper Collins.... not sure how much more mainstream you can get!

I think to the typical comics scene, you've got Big Two, you've got Image, Dark Horse, Vertigo, and Wildstorm (the middleground between mainstream and indie), and anything else (no matter the depth of their publisher's pockets) is "indie." It might not be indie in any realistic way, but within the particular milieu of comicdom, that's kind of how it works.
It's why Maus and Jimmy Corrigan and Persepolis all still count as indie, despite being published by an arm of Random House.

I found this amusing. Johnny the Homicidal Maniac was an entertaining story, but yeah, I'd also prefer not to talk to it's die-hard fans.

@JRHB: Careful not to overthink your comic strips, there.

Joe Rice's Hairy Balls never "overthinks"!
Just recalling that the last "indie" book referenced was one by JUDD WINNICK! Har!
If you're gonna make fun of indie fans, go for the gusto! Pull out the MAGGOTS and the COLD HEAT and the INTERIORAE... crack on the obsession with "obsucre" newspaper strips and "outsider" artists.
That shit is a gold mine of satire. Don't leave us hanging by just name-dropping MOUSE GUARD!

Yeah, he did indie books back in the day, and some people really liked them.
That was what that strip was about.
