[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 2317495, member: 8944"] I think that's a drastic overstatement of how people think about Downer. I have a hard time believing it's driving people away (I still subscribe, despite my dislike), but it's certainly not drawing all that many people in. I don't have a problem with comics in general...I just like them to be either funny or interesting, and Downer has been neither since it's inception (though of course, that's merely opinion). The character are unappealing, the art doesn't seem to convey the mood particularly well, and due to the limits of a monthly periodical and the relative length of the strip, the "story" moves at a snail's pace, anyway. At least I chuckle at Nodwick. I'm glad you're defending your editing decisions with this kind of vehemence...that's your prerogative. But it would have been nice if Wil Save had been given the kind of resounding defense that Downer's getting now. In my opinion, Wil's column has earned this kind of attitude, and Downer hasn't.
