You’re welcome, Doublemint. I’m glad I was able to help you continue your work, whatever it may be.

It led me to question what was the worth of continuing preproduction work on my own comic.

Why is that? I’m curious to see if your reason is similar to one of the reasons I stopped working on my own comic.

Sir, thank you. I’ve been following this whole commotion from the original article to the podcast to the snark and all the while a knot of acid has tied up my stomach. It led me to question what was the worth of continuing preproduction work on my own comic. Your post put into words what my head couldn’t: the argument is ultimately pointless. What matters is the work we care about and especially the work we do.

Egyptian Ratscrew? I was so good at that game. One of my fellow Boy Scouts and I would play that game with every crazy variation we could think of: slapping doubles (pairs), ’sandwiches’ (pairs with a card between), ‘Big Macs’ (pairs with two cards between), King Marries Queen (King & Queen together), Queen has an Affair With the Jack (Q-J), King Shoots Jack for Having an Affair With His Wife (K-J), King Divorces Queen (K-anything-Q), and, of course, any four face cards in a row. Ah, those were some good times….

Oh, relating to the article? Nice work – I like your argument.

Yeah, but War doesn’t hold a candle to Egyptian Ratscrew. Or Egyptian War. That was a high stakes game.

I always sucked at Spit, which we called Slapjack.

On the other hand, I was the King of War. Or as King as I could be given that War was entirely random.

Something about Phil becoming a Republican Youth, I think.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
