I try to reply instead of downvoting, healthier for discourse and sometimes opens up new perspectives from others. I also try not to abandon conversations (though I have hundreds in my inbox I haven't gotten to).

I don't appreciate the shift in trying to pin me with your own thoughts so probably best to end the chain, but I'll still validate and not argue your experience because it is art (begrudgingly admitted) and you are human.

Eh, fair enough. I was a bit rude there, but the intent is that while I agree this isn't a super complex piece of art, I don't think it needs to be. I would even argue that by making the message as simple as possible, it does what it sets out to do quite well, which is to physically represent the emotions of the author. Maybe they don't match yours, but that is the subjectivity of it. I know that I would be quite dismissive of other webcomics, but I would likely dismiss it for the subject matter, and not the quality. Webcomics tend to be a fairly simple medium, so I let a lot of things pass for it.
