Great name, actually a pretty nice setup, very slick looking. I was ambivalent about it, due to the fact that the humor seems to consist of 100% fourth-wall jokes. The premise is explored from every possible angle, sort of like Toy Story in reverse, where the webcomic character feverishly desires to become popular and famous, and somehow tap into that rare vein of marketing success that many authors can see but few can achieve. He's a great antihero, and self-centeredly uses his supporting cast like the props that they are. Every once in a while he'll bitterly drop the name of a "competitor" or make some in-the-know reference; it's the perfect webcomic reader's webcomic.
