Why Ctrl+Alt+Del is not funny.
I should warn you that this link contains gratuitous violence and strong language.

Would people please stop the CAD bashing? Everything has some brilliant moments and some clunkers. Heck, look no further than my own OOT fiver to see a clunker.

I've read the whole CAD archive, though it took me several tries; a couple of times I got as far as this blatant Simpsons ripoff and then decided I had better things to do. But if the comic were totally meritless, I wouldn't have kept coming back. It's not a bad comic; it's just average, almost aggressively so. (Of course, it still has the occasional really good one.)
CAD wouldn't be taking so much fire if it weren't on top of the heap. I don't know how it got there, but it is there, and I respect that. Unfortunately, success has gone to Tim Buckley's head, so he keeps drawing even more fire on himself. Of course, smug and/or defensive webcomic creators are nothing unusual. It's that plus the popularity plus the middling quality that get CAD such disproportionate abuse. (Same reason I used to resent Sev Trek, actually. Popular is one thing; popular and lame is another.) All that said, some of the mockery of CAD is spot-on.

In odder news, it seems my ENT parodies came to the attention of some Indonesians a while back. The comments are mostly about the episodes themselves rather than the fivers, but if you want to read any of them, this site does Indonesian. "Lucu-lucuan" is something to the effect of "funny". (And no, as far as I can tell this guy never credited me or the site.)

People who hate CAD tend to use controversial aspects of a small portion to taint the rest. People can and have made the same arguments about other webcomics (A Modest Destiny comes to mind), but there's no reason you can't like them either.
