"Nathan Rice", 2/3 way down the page. This is so funny that context isn't really even necessary, but to wit: Mr. Rice contributed to an amateur compilation of comics stories called "BAM", and K. Thor Jensen, a respected name in the field, reviewed it the whole thing here, IMO comprehensively and fairly:
So I was given a copy of BAM! at SPX with the intention that I am a "good promoter" and would "get people talking" about the book. However, in the long run, this would not be a good idea. Unfortunately, the fears that many had about the quality of the book and its open submission policy are well-founded...
Instead of running through the book in order, I'm going to divide it into four categories and address the work in each.
1) Work that I would have published, were I the editor. This is, sadly, the slimmest category. But there are some real gems in this book! [reviews several works in this category favorably]...
2) Work that I wouldn't publish but still has merit. There's a lot of material in here that just needs work [provides constructive criticism to works in this section]...
3) Work that should not have been published [delivers harsher criticism of many submissions]...
4) Utter shit trash garbage [as you can imagine, he tears these guys a new asshole. As for Mr. Rice's piece:]...and Nathan Rice's "4th of July Kitty" is something that you draw when you're waiting on hold to pay your douche tax...
[he finally sums up the endeavor with:]...A noble idea dragged down by ill-minded proletarianism. An editor's job is to edit, and without one, you get an anthology that's like a kitten suffocating inside a forty-pound sack of pigshit. I think that the concept of a print-on-demand minicomics anthology has potential - I wouldn't have participated if I didn't. Unfortunately, I don't see many of these being printed because I don't see much demand. BAM! is a dud.

That's not a review, that's a fucking attack. You called me a douche. That's not criticism, that's a diss.
Your hateful review of the book (which you are a PART OF) is the type of thing that someone writes when they hate themselves, when they make comics that suck, (even if they got published), when they're married to a dry cunt, and living in Astoria, New York.
You better watch what you say faggot, some people don't take 'criticism' well.
After reading your 'review', I re-read your strip and hated it even more than the last time. It was a weak ass strip, poorly inked, about some unnamed fat bastard who wants to murder the first person he comes across. Then the murdered person's ghost comes back and murders the murderer. This results in the murdered ghosts fighting. The end. Wow, great strip! It really made me think!
Then I re-read your ghey strip in 'True Porn'... this is even more weak. It looks like you read 'Blankets' when you started drawing this:
"...and then I started to feel something, the sound of the river rushing by began to loop and redouble on itself, humming and vibrating like a giant cello, undertones and overtones in overwhelming harmony."
HAHAHAHA if someone divided True Porn into categories yours would be the sole entry into 'ghey cocksucker fucking an ugly bitch ripping off Craig Thompson' category.
THEN I re-read your two strips in House of Twelve #3... WOW... what a coincidence that a strip about a gay Irish child molester would be written by you. This is clearly your best autobiographical work.
I don't know where you think you can get off dissing %90 of BAM. You think just cause you got a book published that you're in a position to talk shit? You think that just cause a guy makes comics he won't start some shit? I thought this whole BAM thing was about UNITY. About coming together to make a book that otherwise wouldn't get published. You're missing the entire point. If my strip sucked then I'm (not) REALLY REALLY sorry. If you thought the drawing was weak, take into account that it's a true story, take it or leave it. However your attitude is totally destructive to the minicomix scene. You're like one of those cunts that says 'I made it and I don't want anyone else to, cause that might take away from me, so I am gonna diss on all their shit and rip it apart without giving any thoughts to exactly what it is I am dissing.'
Why do you even make comics if you hate them so much? I thought we were all in this together, but obviously you're not. If you don't like comix, then don't read them.
They made a mistake giving you a book for free. Didn't anyone ever tell you that if you don't have anything nice to say you should put two of you best fingers and a Sharpie in your wife's ass and shoot yourself in the face?
This isn't some internet tough guy act, I will say all this to you if I ever meet you, and anyone else.
I'd love to see you in person, so you could call me a douche to my face. And maybe you could better explain your one-sentence review of my strip.
I'm sure there are funnier meltdowns out there, but in my (admittedly limited) experience this takes the cake
Gawd DAMN.
