Tim,
I think what Jesse was trying to say over his 40-some lines of suggestions
(that just as easily could have been summed up in 2 lines)
was that he wishes the story would have been presented with "G" or "PG" rated
exclamations vs the "PG-13" rated language that Jason and Bryan chose to use.
I personally like that it was written for the teen to adult audience.
That said...

Wow, Jason and Bryan!
Great job, it's obvious you both put a lot of effort into this. I for one have
nominated you for consideration as CLSOTW and look forward to Issue #2.
You may already have seen this but a great resource for online comics creators
is "Reinventing Comics" by Scott McCloud.
http://www.scottmccloud.com/store/books/rc.html
and the rest of his website lists links to some interesting online comics.
Also, thanks for turning me on to the fantastic free typefaces at

You've got me itching to try my hand at a LEGO-based comic...

(...) So um, excuse me, but where do you get off telling him what he should and shouldn't do with *his* comic strip? -Tim (24 years ago, 26-Mar-03, to lugnet.town)
