A few months ago there was a post on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
snarkoleptics where a guy announced he was not going to read Tales of the Questor any more because of the heavy-handed Hard Onions comics being run on the same site. I didn't see it as a big deal – yeah, HO was kinda over the top in Christian/Republicanist propagandizing, but so were several of his other strips. Whereas TotQ, perhaps because it was explicitly set in a fantasy world, escaped the problems of R. H. Junior's biases.
Yeah, yeah, I'll admit intellectually that I'm likely biased as well, but still.
In any case, while I found the HO strips running on the TotQ site annoying, I still stuck around. (And, as you may have noticed, the comics are all separated out now. I heartily approve.) And I'm still sticking around now.
But for the record, if TotQ spirals into a pit of strawman-flaying stupidity, I bet this will be the starting point.
