i am certainly enjoying your blog.
-
i dig your blog...read it everyday!
-
i read your blog all the time-- i love it. don't sweat it if no one reads, no one reads mine ever.
also, i love that you ride a bike.
-
I like yours better than that American Elf guy's. I'm subscribed and read everything you post.
I know you hate comparisons, but here is another one you've probably already heard of:

ha.
i really really enjoy reading your blogs

Yep, keep on blogging, love your blog! How else would I survive the long hours at my office where no one likes me? You shave at least 30 secs off my day :D
-
i was the first one to have a place for comments on my blog. i insist you desist.
keep on plugging away at the blog. it's really tremendous. eventually, someone of consequence is going to find it, and you're gonna be a ginormous mega star.
when that does happen, just remember us little folks who stuck around after the "blogs of note" train departed.
-
I have read every one of your posts since I first found your blog via Drawn. I usually skip through 99% of my google reader, but I always read your stuff. You crack me up. (P.S. I love American Elf, too, and I am sorry JK wasn't more supportive to you.)
-
I was fairly nice to you in the email, I don't see why you'd want to be so mean to me.
-
I'm a subscriber and I look forward to your posts the way a prison inmate looks forward to banana split Thursdays. Please don't give up!
-
I only discovered your blog a week and a half ago (back when it was a blog of note) but now I read it every day. In fact, it's listed as "Lola's Deepest Envy" on my links toggle thingy on my blog. No one reads my blog except my mom, or my friends if I pull it up and put the computer in front of their faces. That gets annoying...
-
Keep it up, I think it's great... check it everyday.
-
p.s. i hope you won't mind if i link you in my blogroll. it's well worth sharing.
-
I read and love your blog. I even tell my friends about it, and I have a link to you on my blog.
Don't take my word for it...see for yourself. If you DARE.
:)
-
i read your blog because 1) it's humorous/enjoysble/blar 2) it's british and it's refreshing not to read about fraternities, baseball and ron paul.

Because of the time change I get a fresh dose of local girl first thing in the morning - great wit, keep it up!
-
i am poor, but i am saving up my pennies for a local girl t-shirt. I think i want the 'heavy' version, so i will have to save for longer. :(
can't wait to strut about in my local girl t-shirt. hmmm... should i go with just the words, or the words and her face? tbh, i would rather just have her face, or something more obscure like king of belly-button crud, or the guy coughing up his lungs. :D
anyhow, i would also be interested in a mug for my morning coffee, i hope they will be available at some point.
this post started as a passing thought, like many things it has grown too big, too quickly. terminating now.

Keep up the good work. Is it a blog or a webcomic? You could try getting listed on http://keenspot.com or http://www.onlinecomics.net or sites like them.
-
annnd of course, his comic today is about how you were mean to him.

I declare blog war!

-
lol, that's hilarious! :)
-
I like your blog too. Please continue.
And I totally agree with the whole belated invention thing. I invented Liposuction while doing sit ups in the mid-eighties and I invented the special features function on DVDs while watching A "making of" tv special about Dino De Laurentis's KING KONG way back in 1976! I was sitting there and I thought, "Wow, I like this. They should make "making of" shows about every show!" And I was only 9! I am a complete genius!
-
Your comic is lame, you need to learn to spell, my band doesn't sound like They Might Be Giants, and you're a mean vindictive bitch.
And Amy Winehouse sucks.
-
Aww Jason - really? You really think my blog sucks? That's such a shame because I really care what you think ;( ;(
Now you have to ask yourself why you care what I think.
-
Hey LG, I read your blog everyday... and love it! I hope you keep on blogging for years and years to come.
-
What a lame comic.
Are you upset because you hoped James would put you in touch with his publishers?
-
-
i think you should make james a blog cake. i think you do care what he thinks and burning bridges is self destructive in the end, isn't it?
-
But it's also really fun!
-
I just want to say that JK gave me totally useless input when I showed him my work, too. It's terrible to go to someone you admire with all the hope that they'll encourage and help you, only to be met with useless and discouraging comments, but that's the art world. I would say that he doesn't have any obligation to be nice and helpful to younger cartoon artists, but he did write a book about it, and he does teach... If it helps any, I was pretty upset about my encounter, too, but it's good to figure out who is going to help you and who is going to hinder you. Only listen to the ones who will help you, and try to avoid the ones that just waste your time.
-
Cottage Cheese and Jam?! I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. To each their own!!!
-
If you are showing off your work, you should be welcome to any comments good or bad. If your work is public that is what happens.
-
hey! there's enuf hostility and negativity in the world.
comix and bloggies of the world unite and promote peace and compassion and respect for all! ;D
(did i just say that out loud? - note to self, 'some things can remain internalised...')
-
If it's any consolation, more people are reading your blog. (Like myself, albeit temporarily.) Unfortunately, it's because you're running your mouth, which is an excellent way to bring your professional career down like a wounded gazelle.
No comics creators, editors, or publishers owe you anything, and to think they do is selfish and self-absorbed. Count your blessings for the positive criticism you do get, and keep your venom to yourself when an encounter doesn't go the way you imagine.
And don't run your mouth.
-
Why not post the email? I'd like to know the context.
-
i read it everyday & i've told people about it too!
i draw cartoons at work; tried to figure out how to make it more awesome and share with my friends. so thank you for being hilarious and inspiring!
do you plan on making a full-on comic book? (or have you already?)
-
Pah - don't make him a blog-cake. Just send him the cottage cheese with jam.
Oh bugger you Local Girl - I just KNOW it's going to taste hidious but I also know that before the week is out my curiosity will have got the better of me and I'll have made myself ill trying it.
PS Always look forward to your blog. It often the highlight of my day - but then I am fairly sad and live a tedious and trying existance, so that prob won't even out Elf mans's comments.

How was he wasting YOUR time? You asked what he thought, he told you, and you didn't like what he had to say. So how does that equate into him wasting your time? Sounds more like you wasted his with your crappy comic.
People like you are fucking childish. You're the classic example of the old "Can't Win With The Wife" puzzle. You ask your husband if you look fat in a dress, and if he says "yes" he's an asshole, and if he says "no" you say that you can't trust him to tell you the truth. Were you people raised in Hell?
And yes, when some chick scrawls an ironically messy comic that makes Roberta Gregory look like Picasso, and then has fun starting shit with my friend for web traffic, I care. Not so much about what you think (because you're a fucking idiot) but just that people like you exist. I hope you realize you're the "crazy bitch" in your group of friends.

this is all just so cool..
i love a good shit fight
i read your comic everyday and i am going to copy you...in my own way(there i said it)...i hope you don't mind...

3 CHEERS FOR LOCAL GIRL

xox eve xox
P.S.-shoehorn-ha ha
-
No brain breakage here. You're just opportunistic and please, enjoy your fifteen minutes.
-
LOL - love all the angry comments! I dunno why people get so worked up...if they don't like what they're reading, then don't read!
Keep up the good work! :-)
-
Is it just me or did your post not seem that mean at all? All you were saying is that
1) An autobiographical comic is not a super difficult idea to come up with.
2) His band is like TMBG.
You didn't say anything mean about his comic. The fact that you were seeking out his advice suggests you like it.
He and his friend are being way meaner to you than you ever were to them. They're big whiners.
p.s. you make me laugh.
-
Damn -- now you've insulted TMBG! Hope their fans aren't as tightly wound as Mr. Elf's. Love your blog, always look forward reading it.
-
wacom blogging.. why do i have this sneaky fealing that scott adams got there first? either way, i don;t care if you did it first.. love your work.
-
Wow. His stuff reminds me of "Highlights" magazine for kids. There's clearly some minimalist genius that I'm too dense to properly appreciate.
Also: yay, cottage cheese and jam (strawberry or apricot for me, thanks).
