Well, you are kinda a big scary meanie.

The spooky donation thread was MY idea, and Skitz put it up. (he's a nice kid) I did it for purely selfish reasons. I heard that the couch got wet, and i'm too cheap to get a hotel when i'm in NYC. Spooky lets me crash at his place. I have allergies. What can I say. I don't wanna sleep on a moldy old couch.

But, let's get real. Friendly donations raised to replace some shit that got damaged by god because he hates you isn't on the same plane as selling / drawing for donations. God hates me plenty. and when my house burns down, i'd like to think that some of my buddies might throw me a buck or two. And, I suck at drawing. A donated sketch of what my house USED to look like might look nice hanging next to my bunk at the salvation army.

That said. I don't have a problem with what latta is doing so much. He's drawing avatars. whoop. I think that the community is controlling itself for the most part. Boring threads do find themselves way down the thread list, and I don't ever go to page 3.

Fuck youz. I'm old now. I can babble if I want.
I'm glad that JessNYC didn't sell any of her hand knitted toe warmers.

my happy was rooned. thanks latta. i like your work. but i just can't seem to be really excited about it with all this crap goin on.

While the conversation about "where the line is" is interesting, can a new thread please be started to discuss it? Spooky, if this conversation was never supposed to be about Lattaland himself, then it didn't need to be in this specific thread. I do want to hear this topic discussed more, but this thread was just supposed to be about looking at drawings of KATG forum members.

I haven't had a chance to even email him to find out what the small donation is but I'm sure it's priced as a nice token of our appreciation. Bottom line, we requested these, he didn't solicit.

Wow, the size of this thread doubled while I was at dinner and playing euchre, and I didn't really miss a thing.

I was among those who requested work from Latta, paid for it (I don't like "donate" frankly), and am happy with the result. It could've taken place on the forum or off I suppose, because as soon as the discussion got detailed, it went to email. I have enjoyed seeing all his renditions here and watching them pop up as avatars, where they generally raise the level of humor.

Newsy, feel free to borrow some of my happy, I've got enough to go around.

yeah, everyone else seems to be okay with it, and everyone seems to like the art, too, so i will refrain from sharing my opinion on the art itself. but i hope everyone doesnt get the idea to start spamming their wares here, now that the bar has been set.

hawk it in the chat, and id be okay with it, i think, as thats a more one on one, face to face endeavor, but it seems wrong somehow to sell a service in these forums thats unrelated to KATG...

just when i was starting to like you....

I like this pic Star and i also peeked at your comic strip website.....NICE!!

I'm so jealous of you drawing people, the only thing I can draw are stick people....I'm a beast with Microsoft Excel and my TI-83 though
