I spoke to my mom and dad last night:
Mom: oh Che! I love your blog! It's so funny! (Dad in background: yes! i keep it open on my computer all day!) but i really like your cartoons. actually i only like those ones. When i see those other random pictures i think.. urrgghh.... skip... some people may like that but i don't -you should only do cartoons - it's just like so your style!
Me: yes i know - they are the most viewed posts, but mom, they actually take me quite a long time to do - i need to put other stuff in so that i can update my blog with something new every day.
Mom: ...but then just don't draw so many pictures for each cartoon! Just draw like one picture.
Me: um... well it's really tough to get comic timing in a non-verbal way... sometimes you need to have a few pictures to give people time to absorb it.... comic timing on the internet is actually really difficult!
Mom: yes but just draw one picture for each. then you can have time to make more cartoons!! More people like the cartoons....they are funny.
Me: ok mom.. i don't think you get it.
Mom: no! i do! just try! just try draw one picture!
Me: Ok. Fine.
Now you see. That wasn't funny at all.
I thought so.
