Lol, I never suggested anything about the author’s writing process and I certainly never even implied that I thought you were a dumbass, which I don't. But now I'm not convinced you're not the actual cartoonist, since you seem to have intimate knowledge of their creation process and their recreational habits. It's not a "character study"—you would need characters for that—it's a setup with no punchline, it's half a joke. Actually, it's worse, it's a joke with a decent punchline, followed by a whole extra panel that just restates what the reader already learned in the previous panel with the actual punchline, making me feel like the author thinks I'm a dumbass.
