Check it out if you want! The pulled comic strip is featured on this page, as a dark reminder of the blunders I have subjected my fans to

Cue increase of drama.

Ya, definitely a wise move on Rick's part.

That second comment is actually me being serious (for a change). The first one is just a prediction.

Hey, drama can has already been opened. The best that I can do now is be a good sport about it.

Rick, you seem to always make the right moves.

Some of your fans might be miffed, but in the long run, you meet everyones expectations.

*Applause*

(And no, this isnt another board to get into one of those "Smoking vs. Non-Smoking" debates.)

i think the general rule of thumb on the board (at least the one i'm playing by) is if it's illegal in the real world in most countries, respect that on the board despite what your personal feelings may/may not be. or, write as if a third grader was peeking at what you were reading and understanding every word of it.

that, and to simply "agree to disagree" on some issues. this is hardly the place to try to make anyone "see the light" regarding one issue or another. this is a little forum for the fun comic we all enjoy, not a social and political soapbox.

Yeah I didn't really state my opinion on this matter in my first post :P I think it was a great idea that you posted a bonus stuff page. I had saved the comic before you took it down, and I considered posting it for people who hadn't seen it but that would have been disrespectful to you, so I didn't, but I think it's a great idea to have it somewhere, as a reminder maybe? Of the wrath of the fans? XD

I think the issue was less about negative feedback regarding the strip than of Rick's personal decisions regarding the direction that the comic should take.

But anyway, back to the topic of the bonuses page. I'm interested to see what kinds of stuff will be posted there in the future. More of what's there so far, I assume, and possibly some other things. The "Making of 'Housepets!'" documentary, perhaps? x3

Actually, here's a question:

Will the bonus page also include fan art?

Did you scroll down to the bottom where there's a section titled "Fan art"?

I clearly did not!

Edit: Let this be a lesson in doing research before asking questions.

Edit #2: You didn't answer my question :mad:

Nuke: Yes. c:

See when someone asks a question it's good to answer it.
Even if it seems pointless
because it's a lot easier to say 'yes' than it is to say 'did you even LOOK at that show on tv with the dog and the chicken? god, obvious much?'
but anyway

yeah the bonus page is a very good thing to have included.
ouo
and i can see now why it was pulled.
i'd agree with that
but to be honest i wouldn't have complained
it wasn't NEARLY as bad as everyone made it seem.
overreaction much.
anyway. RICK MAEKS GUD DESIZONS. I R HAPY. POST END.

Sooner or later people are going to start realizing that I'm joking.

In the mean time, we can just keep on trying.

Awesome. I'm kinda curious now tho, seeing as you have the start of your failed catnip arc up there... any chance when you're bored you might want to show us what you had planned for that via the bonus page or some other way that's hidden via one 'THIS IS NOT CANON!!!11!" link after the other? I surely can't be the only one curious as to how that might have worked out regardless of how it did or didn't fit in with the rest of the comic...

Of course if you'd rather just forget it ever existed that's fine. Smack me over the head and tell me it's none of my business. :)

Getting jokes and proceeding to ruin them is a lot more fun than just getting them.

*smacks* IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! x3

...

Basically, Grape was going to obtain a supply of catnip from the pet store and then Fester would have shut her down. I don't... think... I'll be murdered for revealing that. ^^; BUT JUST IN CASE, YOU'RE ALL WITNESSES!
