Hi!!!
sooo as I said now I'm hooked into BBC radio shows, right now I'm listening to a drama adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles :D
ok, now for something completely different and to add yet another *I was listening to a podcast* series
this time I was listening to one about how art has been linked to humanity since long ago between other stuff... and how much we value to possess original art *when possible obviously* rather than reproductions, and this is because we feel as if we can connect with the artist mind at some level
this made me think about
another podcast about webcomics and there's a guy who sent a question to the show asking how they manage with reader mail and hate mail, if they have some sort of *answer ready to send* or something like that, since he spends so much time answering to his
so the guys were talking about how much they prefer short and sweet mails with something like *thanks for your hard work, I love your strip* rather than long messages and how they usually ignore the hate mail
but they also were talking about how... weird is when they get messages that are something like *I have been reading your strip for a long time and I'm not satisfied at how things have been going lately, so unless you change this I'm not gonna read it anymore* "not exactly the words but that's the idea"
and they were saying things
along the lines of *who do you think you are to tell me what I can or can't do with my strip?!* but let's put that aside and something that really got me *I didn't know you even existed*
which brought back to my mind
yet another podcast hosted by a couple, and I was thinking when they were telling his experience of meeting/interviewing some of the cast of
MST3K *if you don't know what that is,
google is your friend* and how weird it was at first for them
cuz they didn't know how to conduct themselves, specially the woman
cuz she said she was there expecting some sort of
super friendly almost family welcoming and how she was thinking *
c'mon guys, it's us!!* because she's been watching them for so long, that it felt as if those
ppl were family
so I was thinking about all that *I know it's too much...* and the strips, because now and then I get some comments from you telling me that the strip of that day made your day better... or how you've been reading those for months and how much you like them
and this is nice and a little strange for me,
cuz sometimes that's the only message I get from some of you like, ever
so it makes me feel good and perhaps a little guilty because it's like *wow this girl has been following my silly strips for so long and I didn't know she existed!! oO* and at some level I feel guilty for not knowing that, I know it's impossible to know who's reading, but still...
however, is nice to know that even when you don't say a word, you're still there; laughing with me...
*or at me, but I prefer to think is with me*
so I just want to say:
THANK YOU
and now I believe what will be the very last strip of the year
is good to know it's just a *little* advice
*as usual locked in 2 days*
See ya!!!
