I have a connection with my audience?!?

So I heard [livejournal.com profile] theferrett was providing concepts for a new webcomic, Home on the Strange, with [livejournal.com profile] roniliquidity attempting to put those concepts into comic form. The party has only started for a month or so, so join in while it's new! I'd post a comic, but they kind of need everyone to click on the actual website for advertising purposes (the startup costs on these things are tremendous, from what I hear from other webcomic makers).

I was VERY surprised to see my LJ name mentioned in the second panel of one of the comics. For reference, look in the first column, fifth name down and you'll see "Greybeta", my blizzard.net handle.

Piqued, I looked at the lefthand column at Ferrett-sensei's rant for an explanation.
2) If I were a really sleazy Web comic author who was whoring for PR, I might do something silly to try to attract LiveJournal’s attention – like, say, picking the bloggers I thought had a really good connection with their audiences in a blatant attempt to get them to mention the strip. Fortunately, I would never ever do such a thing.

Wait a minute, since when do I have a "really good connection" with my audience???

He probably didn't do so for two reasons. First, it's probably a pain to get that synched up correctly in php. Second, he's not a really sleazy Web comic author...just a sleazy one. ^_^
