I don’t have a problem with anyone being excited about the sparse and slapdash way I draw a pizza. Plasticinsect is a loyal and valued reader, Andy. But I should add here for clarity that I may have revealed with this comic my simultaneous love of the taste of pepperoni and my recent inability to digest it satisfactorily, creating the tension you see atop the pie.

Andy, there is no need to rush to my defence. Apparently when I take a few days off the comments, gatekeeping breaks out like like ringworm in a flophouse. I recognise you are trying to help but I’m just an old tired man. I’ll survive pizza chat.
