We liked the wine experiment, seemed like something fun.. we linked, he linked.. then let us down. So we emailed and asked what was going on. Less than polite reply hence we flamed him in cartoon stylee.
Basically we won our battles fair and square, I think Itchy Squirrel allows interaction with his site as he has no skills (as war no.4 suggests). While I'm not trying to say that you net geeks can't draw.. We don't need your pictures, we're good enough.
I find it hard to understand why people don't get the fact that the dude has stolen our work and used it on his site without simply having the decency to email and ask.
If you don't like our comics, to hell with you!.. but errrm, tell somebody else as they might, yea?
Merry christmas y'all...

well, it's a "unique" ongoing web war... so i'm posting it here to solicit your thoughts.
once upon a time, there were two websites: itchysquirrel and lastofthedotcoms. the latter admired the former and considered it a "funny" site, so it asked the former for a link exchange. yup, "add our site link on your site, we add yours" kind of deal. it went well for a while, until it was later discovered by the latter that the former "reneged" on the deal, and removed without prior notice the link of the latter on their site. as it turned out, the former apparently find the latter's site (which makes wacky cartoons, by the way), to be not worth the link from the former's site because, it was somehow not attracting enough visitors who can in turn click back on their site. add to that that the former found the latter's site as rubbish. the latter found this explanation and action less than pleasant... and BATTLE PLANS were drawn.
here's the fun part: both sites catalogued their barrage of exchanges. and here is the result of the ongoing web war the two sites are involved in.
see how they managed to pull off what they are fighting about in the first place: they had linked eventually to each other's web sites to support their individual causes. ironic, isn't it? but what's more interesting is the way they "battle it out" with each other, with a BATTLE of GIFs. visit the sites above, if you haven't clicked yet. it's also interactive, at least on itchysquirrel's side, since that site solicits contributions from readers on his attempt to up the ante against lastofthedotcoms.
now, your thoughts. who are you siding with? there are a bundle of issues involved here. link exchange, creativity, interactivity, copyright, etc. take your pick, or make one up! this should bring them more traffic and hopefully not bog down their servers. but it may well be good, and i'm making this in an attempt that they stop this "web war" eventually (like wishing for world peace). hehehe?
