I almost forgot to mention that the email was "epic" (It's my catchphrase for all dem' milestones!). But as a viewer who came in during the "Golden Days", this one was a real treat. Unlike some things on the site, this email was extremely self referential in a "GOOD" way. I love how bad some people are taking this one. It was funny in two ways.
1.) It was hilariously clever and witty.
2.) It broke the rules, mocked it's fanbase, and mocked itself in a halarious way.
It also showed that they don't let their fans control them. I love that.
They could have done alot, but THIS was definently the way to go. None of the stupid ideas people who hated the Email wanted them to do. You can't control them.
No Senor Cardgage Email. That would be lame and ruin the poor hobo.
This wasn't jumping the shark. You've all ruined a perfectly good phrase! Just like you ruined Trogdor!
I noticed a quote of some guy saying "I've stuck by them since tape leg and they owed me so much better and just plain failed. This will probably be one of the last times I even visit the site. I mean, come on, hremail? Really? That's the best they could come up with? I remember when this site really stood for something but now all TBC do is just bring up old jokes and mail it in." Really? That's the best complaint you could come up with? I remember when people din't get all emo-emotional over a funny cartoon.
We already had all his alternates appear in SBEmail 150. None of them need to appear in this one.
So, I suppose the bullet point of this is, stop your complainin'!
My poor misguided friend, I like you
If you go back and reread my post, you'll see that the first half of it was precisely bitter mocking of all the simpletons on this forum who complain and say all the ridiculous things I did. I went out of my way to try and mock the ridiculous whining that the so many here do.
Your sentiments strongly echo the second half of my post and even though you missed the fact that I was being mockingly sarcastic, I'm glad you took offense at the stupidity. I did think this toon was fantastic! [as said by the Blue Laser Commander] and enjoyed how expertly done the humor was.
