Sun, 25 May 2003 Subject: Compliments from an Arse... I saw the comic strip on comics.com and read the last 30 days of the Jane Bond flashback. It was recommended by a coworker as a great comic strip. I was disappointed it seemed like a replay of ?Goldfinger? with lesbians. I was however, very impressed by the cartoon once I read some of the archived strips, as it gives a variety of characters and view points, poking fun at everyone indiscriminately where humor is due. I almost brushed the strip off as being just a mediocre strip sold on the angle of being about lesbianism. It is far more than that, and I am definitely a big fan now? very funny and insightful. If that even matters coming from someone who kind of insulted the whole last months dream sequence and who more closely resembles Jane?s blockheaded male roommate. I?m not good with compliments, is that obvious? Keep up the great work! Wes Thursday, May 22, 2003 Dear Paige, I was surprised and delighted to receive 5 issues of "Jane's World" and a note with a drawing from the author. I devoured your work cover to cover (and some great covers too), then went back through to savor the artwork and many of the highlights. What a hoot! I was ggrinning and chuckling to myself for days, like a kid on a sugar high after Halloween. You've created a character that everyone can see themselves in. A character that can, in a blink, move from the everyday to the fantastic and not lose her audience. One moment I hear Jane speaking my mind and the next, I find myself envying her (and your) imagination. Thanks for your gift. It's been a treat and an inspiration. I'm already finding my job at the studio more fun. I'll keep up with Jane at comics.com and look forward to our meeting again as I know we will. Sincerely, Larry Tuesday, May 20, 2003 Dear Paige Braddock Your cartoon is great, but I think a small error has occured: The Alps are not in Sweden (Jane Bond followed Goldsinger to The Alps in Sweden???). Otherwise I think it is really cool to have so funny a cartoon with a lesbian main carachter! It is not (yet) known in Denmark, but I do my best to tell everybody about it;o) Camilla, Denmark Friday, May 16, 2003 Mrs Braddock, I've been reading Jane's world for about a year now online. My local paper has yet to carry it, nothing I can do about it, besides write them asking them to pick them up. For most of the year I've found the comic strip good solid, and funny. However, could you please halt the recent "007" story line since it stinks! Its not funny, its stupid! Look I don't have a beef with things being ripped off of the mass media every now and then, but this 007 story line has really got my goat so please STOP IT! - Andrew Thursday, May 15, 2003 I hate to complain about something I'm getting for free, but this goldsinger-storyline sucks. I have nothing against movie satires, but without any humor or something to make it unique (besides a few dykes and a guitar) it loses it's charm and turns into a stale rip-off. Please don't do nothing like it again? I've been following your strip only for a short while, but I did like the other stuff, thanks. Esko Thursday, May 1, 2003 Hi, just discovered your strip on comics.com (duh!). It's great to see a decidedly non-standard comic out there (what is it with the strips anyway that there are only two gay characters out there and only one is the main one?). Anyway, hope you're in the newspapers too and you've gotten only a few complaints. God love you and Lynn Johnston. Wishing you much success from a non gender-specific (dating-wise) man who also deals with frustration and poverty (A.B.E./E.S.L. teacher. Scot Thursday, May 1, 2003 I LOVE this comic. You kick major a$$!!! I lvoe this comic.... and I think I've got to be the biggest fan of this comic... *laughs* I'm so glad that you came up with the idea of Jane's World... *laughs* THANK YOU!!! - Jes Monday, April 28, 2003 First it was just a day to day thing. Then it became a soap opera. Now why has my life become a comic strip??? lol I love "Jane's World". It reflects my life so well. ha ha "Jane' World" is a kewl and refreshing change from the other comic strips and I'm glad I found her. Keep up the good work, Ms. Braddock!!! Lea Monday, April 14, 2003 I love this big-breast thing! You should have Jane and her friends go swimming, then we won't just see the d-cups, but the cleavage too! Have them wear bikinis! -Stan Monday, April 14, 2003 Got a few days behind... The boobification was just nuts... Really enjoyed seeing Jane's reactions! It was almost like the desert island Amazons thread! And just as enjoyable too! Gosh Paige, where DO you come up with this stuff! Where ever it is, just keep it coming! :) Cheers, Dave
