6 Nov 2008 ~ 3:09pm UPSLynx I HATE CAD. It's a terrible comic. The punchlines are poor, there's far too much text in each one, and his art style as abhorrent.

Lapboard news made me LOL though.
6 Nov 2008 ~ 3:11pm primesuspect Yeah the writing on CAD is extremely juvenile, but you know.. it's been around for years, so ya gotta give him credit for persistence. I'm supportive of entrepreneurs He's REALLY big with the 14-17 year old crowd

It's a comics that I've removed from my reading list several times, and just can't stay away (although that's mostly because Crazy Joe talks about it all the time).
