If I do that on a daily basis, I wouldn't get anything else done. Not that I
have a life, but I do have other things to do. A daily cartoon just happens to
be the format I've chosen to do, although things change. I might end up doing a
weekly strip or no strip at all.

No, I really meant that as a request for constructive criticism, not "Can't you
do anything besides abusing?" Unfortunately I can't comment much on Flatfish
since I'm not a cola reader, but I remember thinking that the art was good.

Nerd Boy.
