I kinda agree, but on the other hand, The Oatmeal is one of the funniest and most prolific web comics out there, so it's one of those rare instances where I don't mind.

They're (Netflix) probably trying to replicate the success of Strange Planet on Apple TV.

No. This is Patrick.

Also, it's an ad written like an academy speech or a thank-you note by a great guy. You don't see that often so I'd let it slide.

After discovering your work about ten years ago and watching it all develop,..... now I have to watch the series.

I love the way you think and see the world. It is depressing, despairing, dark and dismal while also making me laugh, smile, make fun of and make light of the terrible things I see in this world. You make us face awful truths while also making fun of us .... and yourself.

You shine a beautiful light under the covers of this ugly machine of a civilization we've created. It makes us take a step back to see the world for what it is and possibly make it better rather than putting up with the way it is.

And I love you for it.

I'll definitely watch the series.

Thanks for everything you do.

Unfortunately it's pretty boring. Got a few moments, but overall I didn't enjoy it.

I had to source the series using alternative means since Netflix is not available where I live, and they blocked the VPN I used to access my paid subscription.

I've watched the trailer sometime last week, and it's very promising. Looking forward to binging through on the weekend.

That was touching, thank you for sharing

Dang...

I only have Disney+ and (HBO) Max subscriptions. This might be the tipping point... just enough to buy a subscription. I'll put this under serious consideration.
