One o’dem days
It was another on of those days that I just couldn't get myself motivated to work on the comics until I absolutely had to. So when they finally finished I just threw em up on their respective pages and said good night to em. I'll go back and edit the posts later. You've heard this from me before.
I've just felt like shit all day and it didn't get any better as the night progressed...
Today's SCC talks about things that happened in "The Dark Knight" so if you're one of the 3 people who care what happens in the movie, yet haven't seen it yet, then don't say I didn't warn you that there are some spoilers in it.
Toon Town got an unfavorable mention in a web comic critic's blog today. At least they linked to the site so it might award us some traffic. Jesus, it's like, as soon as I mentioned "I'm wrapping up Toon Town cause I think it's run it's course" the assholes have fallen out of the woodwork to bitch about this thing. The worst part is that even though I mentioned wrapping it up a few weeks ago, these people who just started bitch about it are probably going to think they're the reason for it's demise.
The negative comments don't bug me so much as tracing them back seems to show that they're all in some town in Poland meaning it's likely 3 people who found the site and just wanted something to nag at. But this critic did get to me. I can take criticism, but they made it sound like the whole site and all of Toon Town was dedicated to the character Skwerl's (not mine) affection for Kim Possible, when the strip has taken quite a few other turns. In fact if I'm not mistaken there were at least 50/142 strips where Kim didn't show up or was even mentioned.
Secondly, as I looked through the site, I see that they don't really have any clear cut basis for grading the comics they critique. Like one review knocked on Scott Kurtz's "DING!" because they don't play World of Warcraft as they "have a life." (When did blogging about web comics count as having a life?) but then they turn around a praise a comic for it's Dungeons & Dragons references. I've played a little of both and far as I can tell they're essentially the same fucking thing! The only real difference is one is paper, the other is computer!
Eventually I came to the conclusion that this person is simply a curmudgeon that dogs on that which is popular and praises that which is not. I left their blog a comment claiming that I felt their comment about my comic was unfair and made note that Toon Town, despite all the shit it's been getting, is the most popular comic on the site. They then replied saying that they don't take popularity into consideration as they blasted Applegeeks and VG Cats. As I scrubbed through the site seeing what they thought was great compared to what they thought was crap it became evident to me that popularity does seem to play some factor in their reviews because all the stuff they hated I had read before and all the stuff they loved I have never heard of.
I bet these idiots also LOVE Metallica...at least before that darned Black Album came out...

Maybe some good will come out of the mention. You’ll probably get more readers who see your comment on his review, follow the link and check out your work. It’s the only reason I found your strip, and I’ve subscribed to your RSS feed for SCC.
Hey Brian, there’s an RSS feed on all the strips, I highly recommend subscribing to those too 
I don’t know where or how, but we’ve gotten a huge, huge influx of readers the past week or so, and most of them really dig the site. Thanks guys, we appreciate it.
As much blood and sweat as we’ve poured into all the different things on here I could realy care less what some Blogger in Poland thinks. And yes there has been blood poured into these projects, along with concussions, exploding eyes, and possible broken fingers, Even a tear or two laughing as we write some of this.
Brian - Thanks for suscribing we appreciate it. Just remember if you go crazy and kill someone Stink Child Comics made you do it. That should get the numbers up. Be sure to stop by the forum and talk about anything to feel like.
And lets be fair, Everyone should love Metallica, And the assholes pissed after the Black Ablum can eat a dick. God forbid a band try to do something different that they want to.
In conclusion, Polans apparently sucks, Brian is cool, Metallica is cool, and why hasn’t Tarv left a comment?
Wait, this guy’s Polish? Sweet! There’s an easy solution to this:
How do you kill a polock?
Put a scratch-and-sniff sticker at the bottom of a pool.
hush da matt I don’t want to here it.
1. lol i like the reaction of da matt and bloo in town town.
2. Shouldn’t one of Racorooms be smoking or drinking already lolz.
3. lol half meatball head looking two-face.
There da matt go choke on that comment or something.
Yo it’s me again. I’d rather our beautiful friendship ended on a positive note Skwerl, so let me say one more thing.
Hey, at least unlike the overwhelming majority of webcomic people you’re actually less fat and disgusting than your self-insert character.
So I hope you realise soon that your comic sucks a bag of dicks and cartoons are not as awesome as you think, and move on to lead an otherwise succesfull life.
PS lol gimme more of them racist jokes, cant get enough of them
PPS lol metallica im dying here
How exactly does one go about sucking a bag of dicks? Do you do it one at a time or all at once? Damn I can’t remember which comedian that was but I never expected that line to be aplicable to anything.
You could start with one at a time I guess and then slowly increase that number as you get comfortable with dicksucking. With a bit of practice you should be able to eventually put 4-5 at once. When you’re pro enough you’ll be able to go through an entire bag of dicks in one sitting B)
Perhaps you were thinking of this, DaMatt?
Squiggles, what’s your full name?
Well, it’s Squiggles… EatABagOfDicks.
BagOfDicks?
Actually, EatABagOfDicks. It’s Prussian.
No Jeb it was an actual comedian I saw on TV not on the internet. This is going to bug me until something else distracts me.
And promises I think you’ve put a little too much thought into this. Then again I’m trying to figure the logistics of getting 5 dicks in one mouth. Sure a mouth could handle that amount of mass but unless they aren’t attached how do you get that many that close.
Some century ago, a poet wrote: “Don’t care of those people, but look and walk away.” Can I suggest you do this thing? Also, you’re gaining traffic… Well, maybe you should thank those idiots, they’re making you more famous!
