I love your work here. Keep it up! I was getting a bit down at the many idiotic comments showing up below some of the comics—by the same jokers you’re skewering in them. Then I realized, holy shit, this might be fodder for future comics! Your comics and their own associated comments could be a self-perpetuating engine of MRA moronics and associated mockery of it 😛
