As the Monkeyman touched on, the problem with criticism on TC is that we all do this stuff out of love. Comments hurt. It's exactly like having someone say your kid is ugly. Them saying your kid is cute works a leetle bit better, even if the kid's face scares woodchucks.

By the time anybody posts anything here it's usually a completed piece. The criticism is way too late, which makes it more frustrating. That's why pictures of Tikis in progress are so interesting, Benz for one seems to zero in on those.

And, there's no way around it, if you ask for opinions yer gonna get them. It's interesting how everybody has a different perspective, I'd focus on that more than who says what and why.

Also, that drawing of GROG giving somebody, anybody, the finger is a loose cannon. I've had the dubious pleasure of meeting GROG more than once and can attest he never gave me the finger, never even tried. He tells a pretty good Sinatra joke, though.

Finally - Matt's backyard is worth the climb. Here's a critical suggestion, though, again to riff on MM; why not put in a BIG STEEL SLIDE? Then you got one direction covered, anyway.
