The author of Minimum Security has a livejournal it seems. She's a member of an anarchist community.

Dr. M. posted:I just don't "get" Get Your War On. I've never been in favor of the Iraq war, but that strip has no art, no humor, and its political message is brick-to-the-head unsubtle. Why not just write essays? Because no one reads essays. People like pictures. And I tend to find it funny. I'd recommend My New Fighting Technigue Is Unstoppable for the comedy, though. I read that first, and it's probably part of why I find Get Your War On funny.

I'm all for mocking Minimum Security here, but can we get one person to get it and put it on waffleimages. Every post in her livejournal says this:quote:The more you click on my cartoons at comics.com during 2007, the better the chances they'll appear in daily city papers in 2008. If you like Minimum Security, please see a new cartoon each weekday! Currently, she's one of the people who is only on the web version, and will only see print if her readership gets above a certain size. Don't help her! Her livejournal is quite a good window in her opinion, and, no, we are not misinterpreting her. quote:This gecko lives behind the shelves in my office. I often see her/him in the evenings coming out to hunt. Unfortunately s/he's letting some great prey get away -- namely two mammoth cockroaches that have been frolicking in my kitchen. So I killed them myself, smashed them with a rolled up newspaper. I feel guilty (I know this has been their home first and I'm the interloper) but I really don't want them to proliferate inside. I once lived in a roach-infested apartment and they'd sometimes crawl on me when I was sleeping and I just found it horrifying. I usually like insects, but I have a very deep-seated, strong reaction of revulsion when I see these inside (if they're outside they don't bother me). They're actually palmetto bugs, who fly and are about two inches long. Their legs are prickly. I wonder if I should try to overcome my negative feelings about them, and if I could. Maybe I'll explore this in my cartoons. quote:There's a story in yahoo news saying that scientists have proven that chimps learn things from each other instead of their behavior being solely based on instinct. Sigh. Do I even need to say "duh"? And instead of using this information to conclude that humans ought to apologize to chimps about a million times for the way they've been treated, a researcher has something else in mind, saying that their work is: "particularly useful to robotic development and artificial intelligence. Understanding the mechanisms of imitation and social learning can help us develop artificial beings that can behave and evolve in the way that we do and ultimately it may help us create other brains." God knows these scientists need to create other brains; they obviously have none of their own. quote:I don’t have much hope for the future. We’re living in a screaming emergency, in the midst of what are either the last death throes of a murdered planet, or our last chance to help some portion of it survive. Most people seem to still be in willful denial, or steeped in ideologies that make this situation acceptable to them. The only thing that keeps me motivated is the understanding that surprises may still happen, that something unexpected can knock this society off its trajectory of omnicide. Or perhaps enough of us will wake up in time.

Do I even need to say "duh"? Well, look who's gone and crowned herself Jane Goodall! Let's see: Scientists use findings to prove their points and validate their theories. Stephanie uses "Duh." You keep right on hating scientists, little one. Since you obviously already know everything, they'll never need to do any work again.

We had a scare about this in one of the earlier FBoFW megathreads and decided not to deal with it - Lowtax doesn't need the bother and she'd be sending bona fide lawyers, not Internet Lawyers, so it's slightly different. Also, she could make a case. Fair use aside, we are using her intellectual property blah blah blah. We decided it's just better to keep this little secret to ourselves.

I can't decide which comic angers me the most: For Better or For Worse or Mark Trail. Mark Trail has a slight lead right now because he's such a smug prick.
