Naw, I like the way we handle it here.  Appreciation without knob-slobbery.

Holy shits, yo: two of those threads have over 800 replies. And they are only a month and three months old, respectively!

"So where have you been Toaster?"

"Oh, you know, nowhere."

"Yeah, well we haven't seen you around here much lately."

"I've been busy... with stuff."

"Have you been posting at the Daisy Owl forum?"

"Uhm, maybe..."

Lame.

Good eyebrows, though.

I just realized why I don't like Daisy Owl as much as it seems like it should:

I want it to work blue and it doesn't.

It's clever sometimes and often charming but it almost feels too accessable. Too family friendly. Too many punches pulled.

I fully admit this is a "me problem" as the kids say. I'm sure that the creator's vision involves working PG because it adds to a sense of wonder and makes the weirder things weirder in certain ways but, to be honest, it's a point of view I can't really identify with at this point in my life. I need my whismy cut with a healthy dose of cynicism and chased with a glass of angry vulgarity.

It is the same problem with Homestarrunner. I keep feeling like it is holding out on me.

I mean, it's good, Daisy Owl is a good strip but I am perhaps not in the right place to fully enjoy it.

H*R did once discuss giving people the finger.  But it was Strong Bad with his boxing gloves, so we didn't actually see his middle digit extended.

Man, I haven't checked out H*R in forever.

See, I was also holding out, and maybe for this exact reason, but this last strip? It reached me.

Huh. I really enjoyed this one. But a couple weeks ago there was one that I found really weak which everybody else loved.

Huh, it would never occur to me that there's anything wrong with a strip because no one cusses.

In fact now that I think of it one thing that's fascinating about this strip to me is there is something so Achewoodian about it while totally lacking that element. The core of Achewood is really not about the dick jokes, much as we enjoy the freedom to make them. I don't know how to define what it is but it's so interesting that the strips feel like they have so much in common anyway.

I was quoting, not commenting.  I was on the phone when I read this strip and it was a real struggle to maintain seriousness.

Mr. Owl: Steve's cussing! / Daisy: What is he cussing about? / Cooper: He's just cussing!
Steve: I'm cussing? / Mr. Owl and Daisy: You're cussing! / Cooper: No cussing!

Alternate response

Daisy Owl is not lame.  It is a serious strip with serious uses.
