    So tired of these fuckin shitty Simpson rip off cartoons.
    Can’t you bust your own style? I’m sure everyone who sees your work, notices the similarity straight away. kunt

    Simpsons? Maybe a bit… but it reads more like a perverted take on that early Steamboat Willie micky mouse stuff.

    Ones style is a combination of the things that they’ve been influenced by. The similarity between Groening’s work and Laird’s maybe shouldn’t be so much as perceived as plagiarised, rather a homage to the art he most enjoys. There are many other cartoons that could be considered rip-offs of Simpsons- namely Family Guy. This guys stuff is exciting, new and South African, before you go ruining dreams contribute a little more positively to things rather than taking away from them.

    Your criticism has little backing it Poes, and your ‘name’ speaks volumes.

    Hi 5 for Alicia….yeah, art is about using what’s out there and making it better…if you want to make an Apple pie from scratch you must re-create the universe…but artists are inspired and influenced by the people and life around them…maybe it’s just Roger who’s a grown up Bart Simpson….anyway guys its all fun, keep a life jacket if you’re gona jump into the emotinal deep end…a’ight.

    Alastair, as beautifully-rendered as this portrait of the Mahala office may be, perhaps the passive-aggressive references to recent events are a tad puerile? Maybe focus a little more on developing the pathos of the Persian sex slave, and leave the intelligent dialogue to the grown-ups.

    I’d love to see your comics Carol (allow me to get familiar), everyone’s a critic, pity you’re not very good at it. Thank you for your initial kind words, though it is rather difficult to appreciate them without the scathing aftertaste of futility. Suppose I left the intelligible dialogue to a stiff upper lip such as yours… monologue would probably more suit what you’re trying to do here. Next time we all wanna have a little fun or laugh at something childish I’ll stop everyone in mid-action and get them to check if it’s OK with you first.

    And no, I quite frankly couldn’t give a squirt of piss how dimly you perceive my reference to recent events, I’m a cartoonist, that’s what I’m here to do: stir the shit.

    Well said, Ally dear.

    As for ‘the lesbians’, Jeff, you make them sound like a super-sinister governmental agency with links to the mafia. Unfortunately, as a heterosexual suburban housewife, I don’t think I’d be allowed to join their rather exclusive gang, but maybe I’ll get an invitation to their Christmas party as I make such a mean egg nog.
