Back when I updated the comic more regularly, I had a forum where bright and attractive people regularly posted. After I got pulled in other directions and stopped posting comics for a while, activity in the forum died down. I removed the links, but left the forum active. Every now and then, someone would show up and post. Mostly, though, I ignored the thing.
Until earlier today, when I discovered lots and lots of new posts had been made.
How exciting.
Except if the one post I looked at was any indication, most of the new posts were filled with soft-core porn shots.
Personally, I think such images are neither good nor bad. The good or bad flows from the mind of the beholder. But I felt remarkably uncomfortable to discover I was dispensing the stuff. Unwittingly, yes, but … ugh.
Unfortunately, the quickest way out was to just kill The Bitter Pen forum. If you were one of the handful to still visit, if you came back to see your genius on display, my apologies.
And if you came to see beautiful young women with no clothes posing on rocks in meadows and leaning up against fence posts, well, I’m not sure, but the Internet is a big place. Probably you can find that sort of thing elsewhere.
I added a comic today and I’m going to add another on Monday. Around here, that’s like being on a totally significant roll.
