However valid criticisms of a comic do not give way to petty personal attacks against the artist. That kind of shit doesn't strengthen your argument, it just makes you look like an immature asshat and alienates people who probably would have been on your side otherwise.
@Wolfzoon: Alright, the free thing is neither here nor there, I'll give you that. Criticism of the comic is fine, too. I'm even inclined to somewhat agree with Filippo's claim of an increase in fanservice over time and it being detrimental to other parts of the comic.
@Xelanad Og: We're not talking about what he is "allowed to do". In the end, it's a question posed as critique.
@nightarix: Stop trivializing every critique simply by calling it trolling.
@Thelonius Dunk: Being free does not mean infallible. Otherwise, every crappy freemium game would get gold.
I mean, obviously. If you cared you'd do something like write a three comment-long screed devaluing Jo as a human being because you disagree with creative decisions regarding the daily comic strip he publishes for free.
@Xelanad Og: Feeding trolls is like feeding seagulls. it might sound funny but in the end it's a bad idea.

@Filippo Rodeo: It's his web comic, he is free to do whatever he wants, just as you're free to move around and ignore something you don't like. Acussing someone of being "insecure about his appearence", and claiming someone to be "in holliday crisis for being forever alone" is non of your business.
(second part) ......yet, you are so insecure about your appearance that you don't actually draw yourself.
Is that a holiday crisis of being forever alone? I don't care, just make up your mind because I can never tell if I should read your comic because it's funny and witty or if I should...
Jo, there was a period recently where you've been making a good comic here. Humor, fun, satire, and some fanservice.
As Christmas holidays approach, you're going back to turning this comic into some shitty dating sym in which you fantasize about having a harem of hot girls..... (continues)
So its down to this again: (NSFW) http://rule34-data-010.paheal.net/_images/e5f6b95b71a8db0c3a8c1c1e17b6a6d1/994569%20-%20Demoman%20JoPereira%20Rule_63%20Team_Fortress_2.png
Nice thinking about the choice. Don't forget to put Morgan in a suit and have her handle the registry while discussing not-widely-known brands of whiskey.
...It won't let me post my note for our favorite ex-Soldier, so - Encyclopedic knowledge of beer, the de facto bouncer, still only drinks Coors. All theories about the girls and bartending are shots in the dark, but I'm sticking with them until disproven.
