With the exception of one or two of these, these are horrendous. What exactly was the criteria?

wow you suck. i sent you five comics, granted one was family circus, still they were all funnier than any of the ones you picked. i'm so glad i got my website up in time for people to make their own decision http://www.sittinginthetubwiththeshoweron.com/ i think instead of drawing now i'll try to get a bj from Alvaro Lopez-Moreno. it must be awesome. and next time i want to get in city paper i'll just pose as a tranny hooker. i pick up my dog's shit with your rag. again, you suck.

Awesome pick with Beth Heinly's comic (The Count)! Check out more of her work at http://www.the3oclockbook.com/ - She singlehandedly created the website and it ROCKS. (You can check out some of my work there too... I suppose disembodied breasts are not funny enough for CP... oh well!). Love ya anyway. Where else would I go to get my tranny hooker services? xo

thanks for publishing my comic . its probably the least funny of the ones i submitted, but the others you can check out on citypaper.net. some more limestone cowboys crap up at myspace.com/jessevalentine. and the other cartoonists were really great too. keep up the good work!

i just want to apologise for what i said to all the other artists who submitted. you are all great and so are your submissions. i was mad at mr.rapa. i felt like if he didn't like my work then why did he write that whole idiotic preamble about it. i felt like he subverted me! please forgive me everyone but patrick. he can still suck me

Mr. Gehringer,

You seem like such a wonderful person. I'm so disappointed not to see your work.

Jerk.

Jack, do I still get to give you a bj?

by Alvaro on August 16th 2008 3:59 AM

yes

Sweet.

IT'S NOT SWEET (see above)

But remember all the other flavors....

wow, these are some of the worst comics I've ever seen!! god forbid citypaper actually print work by actual cartoonists rather than the inane doodles that some idiot scribbled on a bar napkin??

thanks again, citypaper, for firmly redefining philadelphia as the most comics-retarded city in the entire country.

Hi. I'm from Philadelphia, also known as "the most comics-retarded city in the entire country".
