So, contrary to popular opinion in the comments, I have a life, which is more important than my work in the field of criticism :)
I'll be back soon! Sounds like lots has been up!

Interesting note of passive aggression there -- "I have a life," implication being that your readers don't? Followed by promises that good stuff is yet to come ... seems like you're morphing into Scott.
Damn, you defensive crybabies sure don't let things go. I'd argue that ZenMonkey, with over 2,000 (search tops out at 2k) posts on the halfpixel message boards in less than half a year, has less of a life than our friendly critic here.
You are all missing the point, most criticisms against this blog is "Wow you made a blog dedicated to criticizing PvP? You must not have a life." He's saying he actually does have a life, contrary to what the readers have been saying. It had nothing to do with you. Jesus.
I like what you are doing. It's pretty fair criticism to make a comic better. I like that Scott reads it; his art has been improving but the writing has been a bit flat to me. I miss some of the real emotion in the PvP storylines rather than just reading the comic and knowing that it wants me to feel something when I don't feel it. I'd like it to return to its roots. No, not gaming references. Just I wanna see Skull and Brent have a little misadventure together, or Cole showing who he is a bit more. I like when Cole is a human, but in the last storyline I felt he became artificial and I wish I knew what actually happened between him and his wife. I like PvP too, and I wish it were a bit better. oh and I deleted my last comment because it had my name attached to it. Seems I can't get rid of it completely.
Achewood
In my opinion, there is no finer web comic than Achewood. You want subtlety of art and a one-of-a-kind worldview? This is it.
Penny Arcade
The classic. Gabe and Tycho are true pioneers in the world of web comics, and few have done more to expand the reach and influence of the medium. Plus they're funny.
Diesel Sweeties
Like PVP, DS has been coasting for some time. But it is worth reading, nonetheless.
PVP
Yes, I do recommend it; its very popularity is what recommends it. It is the ultimate example that web comics can have mainstream appeal, and shouldn't be disregarded by the industry just because they're web comics.

Next new blog:
"PVP Makes Me Sad Makes Me Sad."
You have to reaffirm to us you have a life? Sounds like you don't have a life.

You people sure are a sad lot.

"You're updating a blog about a webcomic? You must not have a life!"
"You're not updating and say it's because you have a life? You must not have a life!"
Impeccable.
We'll see ya when we see ya, TFSM. At this rate, you'll still have a new post up before the Cole's Marriage storyline resumes.
