A conversation from MSN Messenger, with me as Scratch Fury (be the first to guess where that name comes from and win a three-geek salute) and my buddy-slash-boss Robert:

Robert says: The Law pointed out your new Web comic to me.
Scratch Fury, Destroyer of Worlds says: Heheh.
Robert says: If I might offer some constructive criticism...
Robert says: #1 sucks hard. :)
Scratch Fury, Destroyer of Worlds says: :D
Robert says: #2 is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Scratch Fury, Destroyer of Worlds says: Heheh.
Robert says: I think I might make a catchphrase out of "Fuck you, I'm alternative."
Scratch Fury, Destroyer of Worlds says: < laugh >
Scratch Fury, Destroyer of Worlds says: I'm happy it was funny. :D
Scratch Fury, Destroyer of Worlds says: Just don't forget my royalties if you use it as a catch phrase. ;)

Yes, folks, you may be a little shocked by what you see in my instant messenger conversations. While you probably revere me as one of the foremost writers of the 21st Century (and hell, you'd be right -- thanks, BTW), my IM vocabulary is mostly made up of "heheh" and emoticons. But as the catch phrase goes...

Fuck you. I'm alternative.
