Bitchin’ Mailbag, or the real reason our government is a massive failure, bro.

And now  it’s time for everyone’s favorite feature at This Week in Milford: Bitchin’ Mailbag! (OK, so it’s never been your favorite, as I’ve never actually done it before…but hey, it will soon be your favorite, if you like insane rants. However, if you prefer not to read a 500 word diatribe unrelated to the latest strips, just hit the snooze button, I’ll be back with comics post real soon after this, I swear!)

Mark P: Look bro, bring Ned back. He posted his comments / interpretations every day. You are sporadic and inconsistent. You need to turn this endeavor over to Ned and you can supplement his postings when you have time.

Thanks for the feedback, bro. Since clearly we’re on a familiar basis, we can both call each other bro, right, bro? Well it’s true, I don’t ALWAYS post daily to this blog anymore. Life gets in the way of blogging sometimes, bro. And when one is blogging about a crappy comic for free, I believe blogging SHOULD take a back seat to life.

This Week in Milford is a project I started writing  for fun over four years ago, and I’ve been psyched that there’s been an eager audience that likes to follow along. The commenters and readers, (with the exception of you, bro) are awesome and they are what makes it fun to keep this trainwreck rolling along after all this time.

But last I checked, this isn’t my job. And last I checked, you weren’t even one of the kind folks who have ever  tossed me a few bucks in the virtual tip jar. So, bro, I don’t give a rat’s ass what you think about the frequency of my blogging. I asked Ned as a favor to fill in for me a few times. He’s done great, and if I ask him again and he accepts, I’m sure he’ll do a great job again. But it’s my blog. If I choose to post less frequently than every day, so be it. And I took the reins back from Ned in part because I’m pretty sure this last horrid plot was destroying the remainder of his soul. Luckily, I have no soul left, so I can keep at this crap indefinitely.

So bro, is your life really so woefully incomplete that you need daily wise-ass cracking about Gil Thorp? Based on the email address associated with your post, you may very well be Mark Pryor, United States Senator from Arkansas. Seriously? If that is you, sir, well then I’m both honored and horrified to be ranting against a U.S. Senator who called me “bro”. Is this the real reason our government never accomplishes anything…because instead of passing legislation, our elected officials sit around idly waiting for their favorite snarky comics blogs to post more frequently? Well then, um, that doesn’t surprise me as much as it should. But please, at least pretend to get back to work, Senator Bro.

If however, you’re just some guy who would use an email that looks like it would belong to Senator Pryor, then, uh that’s pretty damned weird. So fake Senator guy, good luck with whatever you’re up to, and please stay the hell away from me, weirdo.

[end strangest rant in TWIM history]

If you made it this far, congratulations, you just read the 1,000th post of this blog. No, really. Now I’m off to have a beer and then eventually write about actual comics or something. Thanks for reading!
