...but only others can tell me if anything I write is vaguely funny. I'd appreciate any comments!

My comics...

I liked comic numbah 2.

I'd like to tell you about my pet. He's a peeve named "beg."

I most often see the term "begging the question" used in the manner above, where it's used to mean "forcing the question" or "implying the question." In fact, "begging the question" has nothing to do with that. To "beg" the question means to avoid the question, and is an oft-used logical fallacy. For example:

Begging the Question
Politician A: How do you explain your missing campaign funds?
Politician B: Who are you to be talking about missing campaign funds?

NOT Begging the Question
Politician A: I like to rape ferrets.
Politician B: How is that physically possible?

I hope this has cleared some things up for y'all.

Oh, I'm glad you found this site, too; your comics are decent.

Your comics don't suck.

Well, thanks for the constructive criticism. Seriously.

My hold on English is tenuous at best, despite it being my one and only language. Too much TV, I suppose.
