Was it touching? I say no.

I've removed Sinfest from my favourites. Not because it's gotten worse in any way, but because it's stayed the same for like 15 years.

Now I consider myself a feminist, but this comic has just gotten too preachy and at the expense of it not being nearly as funny as it used to be. And whats even worse is how Slick is hardly even in the comic any more! Wasn't he the main character for fuck's sake?! I'm not saying I hate the comic it can give me a chuckle every now and a gain but it feels like its lost touch with its roots.

Oh no, it didn't stay the same, there has been a considerable amount of time where it got palpably worse, starting right around the time when Monique cut her hair.

The only reason I keep reading it is because I want to see what happens to the two devil girls that hooked up with the bookworm and Lil' D.

Well yeah fair enough but it's been evolving so slowly into something I don't really care about that it took me a while to question whether I ever cared.

Also the dragon hasn't been in any comics lately, I miss him. He was all wise and stuff.

Also there haven't been many porn jokes in the recent comics either, more or less just porn criticisms. And whenever anyone does something porn related now they are transported to a scary S & M dungeon of sorrow. Sweet cupping cakes- TONE IT DOWN WILL YA?!

EXACTLY! Its not like people want Monique's old personality because she was oh I don't know- FUNNY! Yes, the only reason your audience liked your old work is just because they want to fuck a cartoon character, because we are shallow.

Sinfest - no longer about sin or festivities. They had a devil-girl-and-bookworm strip yesterday... it's the only reason I didn't kick their RSS to the google reader curb after the above whaargarbl.

Yeah... I'm not going to say I did not find 'Nique sexy as comic characters go, but there seemed to be a lot more going on for him before she cut her hair. The It Girl routine, trying to get Slick to show his real personality, the Ninja Theatre, etc.

Heck, I don't even remember her doing anything of note since then. Just emoing over her old poetry - that her crazy fangirl then posted around the Internet.

Both Slick and Monique's roles as protagonists have been all but snuffed out. It was a good story about a supposed "pimp" trying to win the affections of the lovely Monique, what was wrong with that?

Maybe if they were to ONCE make fun of feminism just to be fair, but no its all serious with them. For the love of Satan the first week of Sinfest had a joke about blaxploitation bible stories, now it hardly makes fun of any thing any more!

... Hunh.

Well.

Ok then.

24 hours you say.

I think if that got handed around too much, half the professional webcomic authors we know would probably retire in shame.
