25-30 years ago, The Mink used to do reviews of the Kids' WB shows, principally the ones done by WBA, for the old alt.tv.animaniacs group. Also did some fanfics on the same group, which is not unrelated to what I'm going to refer to. Mostly harmless stuff, though I think I did get under Tom Ruegger's skin over some comments about "Histeria!"

I was thinking about this today when I saw the comments on gocomics.com regarding my Dick Tracy Minit Mystery arc, today and for the last few days. Yegads, folks, it's like Third Ypres out there, with yours truly in the starring role of the BEF opposite German machine-gunners.

The most remarkable thing is that for a short arc (15 days total), there's howls of "BORRRRRRING!" and "when is this over?!?" While there have been a few astute comments/critiques, most of the comments do seem to come from folks who probably should be taking their Ritalin. Preferably with a large dose of Glenfiddich. Some of the commenters, judging from past story arcs, seem to be miserable all the time; I'm not sure to what end, and who they're rooting for.

Boy, makes me feel for all those WBA lads reading my stuff, back in the day.
