You beat me at Webcomic Battle. DAMN YOU!
I kill you now.
Really nice strips you’ve got here. I’ll definitely be coming back for more… 🙂

Heh…my vote pushed you over the edge, I’m sure. Everything I touch turns to gold, afterall! Well, ALMOST everything.

Steve, I am a seventh dan black belt in the art of Running Away. How can you kill what is not there?
Thanks for the kind words. I’ll be checking The Elsewhere too. Hopefully you update more often than I do!
PS. Stickynote thanks for your vote. A shiny penny is on its way to you in the mail.

I’ll try to turn it to gold too. Metals tend to be harder to turn than votes, though.

Hey Phil, I’m Mike Calderon, the creator of Over the Edge comics, and I have my “Flies” comic in the Webcomic Battle competition. I just wanted to tell you that I really liked your “Church Mice” comic and I was hoping that I could’ve competed with you. I was disappointed when “Church Mice” was eliminated because I felt that your comic was the superior comic in the battle. My “Flies” comic eliminated the one that eliminated “Church Mice”, but it was close. I hope to see another of your comics in the battles soon! Take care!

Mike, thanks for the kind words. 🙂
As for losing, I guess Webcomic Battle is a bit of a popularity contest… but nevermind, it’s just another way to get your stuff out there, right? 🙂
Anyways, that aside, I found this quite funny: it’s a running commentary of the demise of my mouse cartoon on a forum where the other bloke was trying to drum up people to vote for his cartoon.

PS. Mike, the fly cartoon is funny, I’ll be checking out the rest of your stuff post-haste. 🙂

Next question:
“Do you accept cheeses as your personal savoury?”

Greetings! I’d love to adapt this for my vegan meetup group. I would suggest cheeses be changed to “cheezes” (that is, referring to faux cheese) and the caption to “Vegan Church Mice.”
