If I've got a direct link to a creator, I might consider them a friend and thus "go easy" on their book. On the other hand, a creator might get caught up in responding to critics and/or fans, rather than focusing on the work. For my part, I try to be honest, but I do recognize that creators might actually read something I write, so I don't want to be mean or make any personal presumptions. I do want to maintain my critical integrity though, even if it means I might not get to be chummy with somebody "famous". I dunno, it's kind of a fine line to walk. I suppose it would be easier if I was anonymous; then I could lob attacks willy-nilly, and not care about what people thought.

He responded to specific questions I had about the work, which is really pretty neat, from my standpoint, especially since I wasn't really expecting an answer. I'm still getting used to the idea of interacting directly with the people who create the comics that I read. It's a brave new world, man!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867868039166531163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882610517765002247.post-83460065532708141762007-09-25T12:54:00.000-05:002007-09-25T12:54:00.000-05:00Between personally responding to this review, writ...Between personally responding to this review, writing a letter to <B>The Comics Reporter</B> decrying their choosing to link to a lone negative review, and the posting of all his positive reviews over on <B>The Beat</B> (<I>every... single... one...WTF?</I>), one might think that Mr. Hamm's skin is a wee bit thin.<BR/><BR/>What ever happened to letting one's work speak for itself?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882610517765002247.post-65010641787293220852007-09-13T18:48:00.000-05:002007-09-13T18:48:00.000-05:00Thanks for the clarification, Jesse!Thanks for the clarification, Jesse!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867868039166531163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882610517765002247.post-41782658896914826542007-09-13T14:18:00.000-05:002007-09-13T14:18:00.000-05:00Thanks for the detailed review, Matt.

As I said in my blog, Derek's "a great visual storyteller," and that dual-face technique is "workable in cartoony contexts" like the one you cite above. What bothered me was its use "when you're dealing with subtler shades of emotion in a more realistic context."<BR/><BR/>However, if you object to Levon's choice of clothing, that was D's department! I'll point out in his defense that Levon does change it up as the situation demands: he abandons his sweater for the car wash, and adds a blazer for the formal occasion at the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
