So last weekend I looked at my comic and asked myself; "what does this need?" and the answer I came up with was "swear words".

Well, in an unprecidented response to something in my strip (three emails and a comment on the squarkbox) proclaiming the dislike to the swearword in question (it was "shit" for those who didn't see it) I've decided to retcon it and remove it.

I can see that it was pretty stupid to just start including swears in a strip that's established as not having them - not that Woods for the Trees is devoid of rudeness at the best of times - but I've always avoided the "big three" swears (C, S, and F words respectivly) as they didn't really fit.

And looking at it now, it's better not to have the full on stuff as it makes you lazy. If I had started using swears in the same manner I actually talk then the strip would be ruder than a sailor with his penis trapped in something sharp...but then I wouldn't have to search for funny ways of saying the same thing a swear implys.

So...basically, in reguards to the situation. I fucked up. No more cunting swearing.

Shit.
