After about 150 comics or so, I stopped caring what other people thought of my strips and am instead just having fun. So my "physician heal thyself" comment was not a return insult at the quality of your strips, in fact I haven't read many of them. It was rather an attempt to address someone who was being overly self-important and too good for the room.
I don't think I'm "too good for the room". It's probably my failing that I do not have the capacity to discern the difference between 40,000 buttfucking cartoons. Kudos to all of you for being able to find enjoyment in all the little nuances that must exist therein.
It's also probably my fault that I could not read all of that into the three words "Physician heal thyself", and still in fact do not see how those words can mean what you claim. I guess I'm just not as smart as you are, ObiJo.
I do think, however, that I have the capacity to do some degree of coarse humor while also adding cleverness. That's the only way I could have been welcomed so thoroughly during my debut on the boards a couple of weeks ago, and feel as if my principles have not been compromised, which I do.
...and as for taking myself seriously, *shrug* sure I do. That doesn't preclude the ability to have fun and be funny... it just means I have the self-respect not to represent myself as an idiot, if I can help it.
But ObiJo, if you really believe I care what you think of me, you're deluded. I care to varying degrees about the opinions of those I respect, and you've never been in that set. That's not meant to antagonize you, it's simply a statement of fact.
