Picked up the latest issue of PvP with my new comics this week. And for the second time Kurtz includes a strip that was part of some petty web feud. In this case the Manley "dick and fart jokes" blog entry. Something that happened at some point last year. So its a joke that is mostly a dig at another web cartoonist type person. Actually I have no idea if Manley writes a comic, I just know him as the owner for various comics hosting sites...
But anyway, Kurtz manages to salvage I decent joke using Chaucer's use of crude humor to make his point. But still, the strip is mostly a dig at Manley. So its a joke where only people who know about the various Manley/Kurtz feuds are going to fully get. And of that small sub-set of potential readers, I can't be the only one who found it petty and pointless the FIRST time around...
I like Kurtz's stuff. I mean I'm buying a comic that is essentially reprints of stuff I've already read (and can continue to read) for free online. But there are times I want to just give up on him. And its because of his seeming willingness to nurse pointless internet grudges. And then try to drag them off the web even...
Am I alone in this? Am I the only one who wonders how long Kurtz (and even others) can continue to nurse these petty grudges?
