Ahh... what controversy I start.
A recent strip I did based on the whole "former minister, abortion doctor killer" created quite the stir in the forums of Disassemblance. Surprisingly not as much as the now infamous EVOLUTION strips.
I also an interested in how people react to the FREE PELTIER strip I did in honor of Leonard Peltier's birthday. I actually drew that strip sometime ago and totally forgot that the day before was 9/11, aka, America Oversensititvity Day. Which I say not to disrespect the now deceased, but to comment on how people who wouldn't otherwise give a shit out America get all mushy and sensitive to possibly lack-of-patriotism. Anyways, the strip displays an inverted American flag in the colors of Anarchy. So that alone, in combination with the two year anniversary of 9/11 should generate some decent hate mail.
Not that death threats of personal insults are my goal. But I always think an artist should measure their success not by the number of fans that admire their work, but by the number of people who wish them dead.
