Okay Susan, (and everyone else) I am new here and the comments are a nice touch. I like the fact that the cartoonists and fans are able to get an almost instant feedback. I have also noticed that several strips have their regulars. I will probably become one, therefore I would like to clear the air, if I may.
First I will apologize, I didn’t mean to insult anyone’s intelligence on the feature of the ‘refresh’, I was trying to be helpful. After I submitted it, I read it and thought it may sounded a little condescending, that was not my intent, it just didn’t seem that way when I said it. Hindsight you know.
Also, I do tend to stay away from politics in humor, just I saw that little joke as a harmless one and was making a point on sarcastic humor. Honestly, I have heard the same joke before toward several politicians through the years (okay, I admit that joke wasn’t an original) . And at my age I have seen many through the years and I have seen that (or even told) that joke on both major parties and maybe a few bosses that I have had. I wasn’t trying to start a political forum.
My hobbies do include stand-up and writing, both houmous and serious. I often find it hard not to slip in a joke when I see an opportunity. This has gotten me in trouble more than once and even lost me a couple of girlfriends in my past.
I see a few regulars here and hope to become part of your little critique group? Fan base? However you vision yourselves. So, i don’t want to alienate people from the start and please accept my apology is I said anything to offend and acknowledge, I did not, nor would not on purpose. Sometimes my talking (and my writing) is faster than my thinking.
As I think we will often see input from both of us here and there, I hope we can start off on the right foot (or the left one if need be). Even be cyber-buddies on here. I don’t mind you letting me know when I crossed the line, I just ask you let me explain or apologize, or both.
I also am a compulsive talker and tend to ramble a lot too, as you probably have guessed by now.
