Obliged to be defensive of my fellow countrymen, I'd like you to know that Canadians CAN dance. I can prove it. Albeit I'm not as white and awkward as Kevin...regardless, Watch Your Head is now a staple of my daily work routine and I will be spreading the word aboot it like gospel.

This old white lady loves the strip! I was attracted to it because of the drawing style which I feel is one of the best out there, but it also makes me think and it makes me laugh and your characters are great. In many, many years of reading comic books and comic strips, the only other strips that I've been this attached to are "For Better or Worse," "Calvin and Hobbes" and most recently "Frazz." Keep it coming!

YO B! I been a fan for a little over a year. I subcribed to Ulist after the local paper dropped your strip(punks). anyhow, your character Quincy looks(and sometimes acts) just like me. one of your recent strips had him doing the finals thing again. I posted it on myspace as my photo and my friends went crazy! where'd you get that? did you do it? (I draw a bit) that's HOT! etc., so I've been doing a bit of promoting for you. and if I ever get this music off the ground I'll be consigning you to do my first 'BIG' budget video(lmao)! anyhow just sending you a little thanks for making 'me' look so smoooooooooth! (lol)
later B!
ps. holla at the cat if you get a minute, and check out mrjestapartyliva on myspace

Cory, I'm an Otis Oliver grad and enjoy your strip tremendously. I recognize your characters from my undergraduate days, which were in mid to late 1970s! The language and fashion may change, but students and their hijinks basically remain the same.
Keep it up!

I heard your interview on Tell me more and am exceedingly glad I did, you write the best daily out there since "For Better or for Worse" started running repeats.
I was inspired to write about your plight as a new Cartoonist (though not specifically an African American). I plan to post it tomorrow morning.

Did you use Mr. Cuervo as the template for the cranky old dude in Sunday's (2/10) strip? 
Either way, very clever.

Dear Mr. Thomas - Sunday's strip and "universal" appeal. I remember an instance of an art exhibit in San Francisco a few years back - a young African-American woman submitted a painting of an African-American mother and her young daughter baking together in their kitchen. It was rejected on grounds that they wanted pieces with "universal" appeal. I thought the artist's response showed a lot of class. She said, "I think most everyone can relate to having a mother." There is no doubt in my mind that had it been a European mother and child, the jury would have found it sufficiently universal.
I've enjoyed the strip since it began appearing on comics.com. Here's one European-American who finds it plenty universal and not in the least divisive.
Thanks for your efforts, and I'll do what I can to encourage The Oregonian to add you to their comics page.
Patrick, Portland, OR

Today (Sunday, Feb. 9,) your strip and Darrin Bell's "Candorville" were one and the same! I realize this is an attempt at being "ironic" or whatever, but did you ever stop to ponder that maybe the old strips WERE funnier than these PC "Oh I'm black and you're white and that's supposed to be funny" crap strips? Right now, the only "new" strips that really satisfy are Lincoln Peirce's "Big Nate," "Single and Looking(formerly Out of the Gene Pool)" by Matt Janz, and, of course, Stephan Pastis' mighty "Pearls Before Swine," which, might I add, is the most recent comic strip that I have actually heard a reference to in the "real" world. The last one before that was "Calvin and Hobbes!" Give up on strips and go back to being a writer for "The Daily Show" if you want to continue being PC (and therefore not funny.)
P.S. By the way, "Boondocks" was one of the least funny strips I've ever read, and I'm glad it's gone.
