I do wonder why Toon Monitor sounds so menacing. Is his comment meant to be a parody? He’s just as wordy, but at least he makes sense (somewhat) here:

Good spot, potsy.
I think this is far weirder. The possibly deliberate non-sequiturs, the allusions to violence and coercion (‘terrifying’, ‘war’, ‘hammer of God’, ‘drugs’, ‘fatigue’), the pastiche of metaphors plucked from the annals of conspiracy theories, the pretension of familiarity (implying a fantasy of intimacy), etc. suggests we have an extremely sick puppy on this occasion.
Flag Toon Monitor? For the love of all that is good and just in the world, why? I have seen some real freak job posters in my short time here and Toon Monitor doesnt even come close to the ‘everyone flag him’ status. Sure, his rant is weird, wandering and something else that should begin with the letter W but does it really merit a mass Flagging? I don’t think so. Heck, he even went to the trouble to spell Dowlatshahi properly. A person born with that name probably couldnt do it until they were 10 or so.
Toon seems harmless. If you don’t like him, don’t read him.
I have not got a Kit Kat that was waferless. I think I saw mini bigfoot’s feet prints in the wood near my home. Could that actually Kit Kat Waferless wandered around???
Maybe Kit-Kats are SUPPOSED to be waferless? Has anyone ever considered that? The wafer is some sort of parasite which attaches itself to the chocolaty goodness of the Kit-Kat bar itself in order to be injested by us! Once inside, who knows what goes on! This could be big! I demand a government investigation! And a research grant! As a matter of fact, I’ll settle for the grant.
Doc Toon, I think I’ll go for a compromise. I’ll ignore the truly troubled in our little group and let goComics sort ‘em out.
Personally I think goComics encourages this kind of thing. It gives them something to read in the office. I imagine them reading our posts and laughing their a$$es off. If I disappear you’ll know it’s because I am right!

All the craziness on this place and I get called a nut job? Secret Oriental Guy Consprirator is kinda cool, no idea where you dug that one up though.
Toon Monitor reminds me of me when i was twelve. Meaning freakishly wacked, drugged out, struggling to sound intelligent, and stupid. And offensive. Flag him.
For those wondering about the photographic appearance of the background, Ms. D. is obviously playing with the following well-known imagery:

I did once find a solid chocolate Kit Kat! I was 10 and I thought it was the weirdest thing I’d ever seen!

What is Toon Monitor on? Your comments are creepy in a stalker kind of way. Lock your doors and windows, Teresa. And get yourself a bodyguard.
JerryGorton over 15 years ago
I agree. This toon monitor is some kind of a nut and his comments are not welcome here. A crackhead perhaps. go comics, are you listening???

People, flag Toon Monitor!

I like the Sunday format. Lovely work as usual by TD. I’m just wondering why this creature isn’t known as Bigbutt.

The background looks almost like a photograph. I can’t draw anything and I am very impressed. I did flag the guy, just forgot to mention it. Needs it!

OK. Is this a drawing or a photograph? Is it half and half?

Stephan Pastis? What is his role in this, if any?!!! This is beyond insane.

I wish you had a waferless KitKat bar and I had a bigfoot feather; then we’d both be tickled.
