February 22, 2010 at 1:00 pmGreat comic Brad, and again, it has a deeper meaning.There are too many designers in the community who are attacking other designers and not just their work. Recently, there are some people who I follow on Twitter that are rude, obnoxious, and they make comments like, “what kind of junky article is that and so forth.”
While I think constructive criticism is good, we must still be well-mannered and nice about it when referring to other people’s work. There’s definitely a right way and a wrong way to give criticism.
Anyways,
I feel bad for Jeff Kinstayer now.

February 22, 2010 at 1:00 pmOuch! Good come back.
(grammar check: in the last frame did you mean to say “I’m going to name ‘it’ kinstayer.”)

February 22, 2010 at 1:00 pmAh yes, good catch Kyle. And another reason I wait for someone to comment before publicizing there.

February 23, 2010 at 1:00 pm@Debiprasad, yeah a couple people have Googled it to see if it’s a real person. I went through a lot of Names I think I found “Kinsayer” and it only had a few listings and they I added the “T” to make it Kinstayer which I liked because it sounded like Kinslayer.
Debiprasad
February 23, 2010 at 1:00 pmReally a good way.
BTW, after reading comment of Doug Neiner, I too search that name and found 0 result. Such a uniqueness in that name which did not yield any result. And Kinstayer alone shows just 4 results. This shows your greatness while creating this comic.

February 27, 2010 at 1:00 pmBrad, I love your comics! You do a good job of writing them so that people who do not build websites can still “get it”. I suppose that since Kyle is a web designer, I may have an insiders perspective to some degree, but I still like them!
This was freakin hilarious.

March 2, 2010 at 1:00 pmI love it when folks in my company send out official company bulletins using Comic Sans. It’s okay, though, cuz they don’t have a really firm grasp of basic grammar either.
Maybe they need a good imitation Comic Sans?
