How Are We Gonna Find This Monk

Dear Future/Present Monster Commute critic,

I’m apologize that my comic is not Penny Arcade, or very funny to you. I’m sorry that I should be kicked in the throat. I like my throat.

I know and realize that Penny Arcade (PA) is awesome and great, and is written by 2 fellas from my very own hometown. They’ve been sharpening their blades for the last 10 years, and have gotten really, really good at making comics that speak to you.

So… if you hate my strip because it sucks and is the “worst comic ever” and isn’t nearly as good as Penny Arcade, that’s cool with me. It’s certainly true for you.

But I’ll let you into a few little secrets of mine:

1. I’m not trying to make Penny Arcade. Their humor/writing is clearly not my own.
2. Different things appeal to different people.
3. I’ve been doing this for 6 months.
4. I’m not going to stop. But I am getting better.

If you’re still gunning to write a witty review about how terrible my comic is, I’ll offer you a better use of your time: write something great and nice and witty about a comic that you do like.

Haters = scrotards.

Thanks,

The Management

    Some people are such idiots.

    Class…… Classs. Class! Wake up!
    Thank you.

    “Scro” is not to be confused with Escrow, but is the preface to the Ingrish word ending “tum” (no doubt).
    “Tard” is not a road other than gravel.
    The one thing that I really hates about Monster Commute is I can never find Waldo! (durrrr…um.. doooyyyyyy)
    Critics are never chosen by zombies and it is not because they are bitter…
    (nooo brainzuh)
    Zombies wont eat clowns either. They taste funny.

    Grrr! Where is this review you dost speak of?!

    As odd as some folks may find it, I’ve never read penny arcade…

    If I were interested in video games, which is what I’m guessing it’s about given the name, I’d own a console of some sort.

    Don’t hate the haters, just pity them for their lack of sense, poor taste, poor personal hygiene, bad fashion sense, and inability to attract those of their preferred gender… actually, it’s just easier to hate them.

    Complete ass-clownery. Your art is some of the best online. Keep it up and don’t let the bastards get you down.

    Word from your (likely smallish) over-60 demographic. I’ve been following comics for MANY years (mostly in print of course). I’m following MC for the art and the writing. the current storyline has much to commend it, and the art is excellent. Ignore small minds. Useful criticism is not about drawing specious comparisons.

  8. Rebecca Hicks

    That “critic” is obviously lacking brainzuh. Way to not let the man keep you down, man.

    Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

    This post is actually an attempt to ignore the small minds, as I can point them here when they attempt to distract me.

    I appreciate your readership, and I will continue to work hard to earn your interest.

    Dude? Are your high beams on?
    (FYI, your over 60 demographic probably knew Tut hisself!)
    Tut’s Finger!

    Ugh, haters suck. Every stumbleupon review we get is somebody with a drive-by hating of us (often the same person on each stumble!)

    The good news is in real life I have yet to show your comic to a friend who didn’t immediately add it to their webcomic reading rounds.

    Honestly, I’ve been trying to figure out how to get this huge blank wall in my living room dressed up with some Steam Crow art…

    If I had one whit of artistic ability I’d most likely have a stab at a mural, unfortunately I couldn’t even draw flies if I stopped bathing.

    Beware the Authority, they will send their agents out to stop anybody who is trying to speak the truth. FREE CREATU
