[Space Cop]

I'm glad I dropped it 6 years ago. Even just having my family as friends was driving me fucking crazy, and that's not good, especially when you have depression.

I was on Facebook for two weeks and nuked my account. I couldn’t stand the drama or what I saw in myself (felt like I was going between being a voyeur into people’s lives or an exhibitionist of my own). And that was about 10 years ago; before grandmothers and local business starting having their own accounts.

Ha. That's pretty good.

I'm so unhip. I had to do a search and read a couple articles to get that reference at all.

I guess I'm even worse because I just assumed it was a disgruntled employee and moved on. Now, I'm no rap fan (quite the opposite), but I feel like I know what Eminem looks like enough (I watched the movie anyway) and I didn't recognize him between the hoodie, the beard, and most of his face being covered. I guess now that I know I see it.

If anybody thought the last image was upsetting, oh boy, do I have bad news for you:

Mom's Spaghetti is officially open

Maybe Space Cop will feel differently, but nah, I didn't think it was funny. And I don't think it's just because it's anti-religious. I feel like I'm generally able to laugh at stuff that pokes fun at religion. Maybe it's just more mean-spirited than I usually prefer in humor?

Well, I didn’t find it particularly funny, but I’d say I only find about half of that series funny. Mean-spirited? Maybe.

It’s a little hard for me to say now because I saw your comments before I saw the cartoon. I guess I took it like Agent said. I doubt the artist believes in any particular god or intended to attack a particular one. I think it was more an over-the-top-look-how-crazy-this-comparison-is thing.

[Agent Purple]

I personally felt that the humor was in how absurdly over-the-top the power of friendship was but I will admit the blood was a bit much. Maybe no blood but a defeated God, setting up a potential sequel where God has to team up with Jesus?

Little late now for speculation, die is cast.

Not the least bit amusing, at all?

Well I had hoped otherwise, but it seems I missed the mark. (I don't commission any drawings, FYI, I just see his stuff periodically).
