Blogger Ate The Issue of Night Nurse I'd Written, So You Get This Instead
It seems the esteemed Heidi MacDonald has written some things that have
ruffled
some feathers
throughout
the
blogosphere.
Myself, I can't get too upset about Heidi's remarks for several reasons:
- I haven't actually read the article in question, so I don't want
to jump to conclusions based on the few excerpts I've seen.
- Are we sure that wasn't a typo in that one quote? Perhaps
Heidi meant to say "a lot of [comic blogs] are really dope."
- Even if that wasn't a typo, obviously Heidi doesn't dislike all
blogs since she
still has one herself. (Although, as a blogger whose stamina
was once publicly questioned, I do have to point out that her blog
hasn't been updated since April 29th.)
Besides, in a
long
comments thread over on
Thought Balloons,
Heidi clarifies her position somewhat and promises that she'll be
addressing people's reactions to her CBG piece in "another
venue." So I'll wait until then to denounce her harshly.
(Kidding!)
(And speaking of stamina, this is probably a good time to warn whatever
readers this blog may have that blogging will be light for the
foreseeable future. With the arrival of spring, my thoughts are
turning to other hobbies, such as lawn care and ruining perfectly good
meat on the grill. I'm sure I'll continue to post every now and
then, but I doubt it'll be daily. As always, check the
Totally
Dope & Fly Comic Weblogs Funk-A-Tron 3000 for updates.)
UPDATE: Heidi has updated her blog with the promised
response
to the blogosphere. And
I win a
prize. (But no link under the "Favorite Sites" section?
[
Sob!] I guess I'll have to settle for being included on
her laundry list of love.)
