Rustle The Leaf

[Chickpea]

Who was it posted a link to http://www.rustletheleaf.com?

I checked it out and it's great. It's a comic strip about environmental issues that is well drawn and funny as well as making a serious point. Nearly as good as Self Sufficient Trish. They also encourage people to include the strip on their sites and blogs. (Not like some other strips e.g. Dilbert - despite being about how evil big companies are, the company behind is is evil and chases individuals who dare to think the strip is funny enough to include on their website and threatens them with legal action).

Anyway I've linked to Rustle from my blog and I wanted to thank whoever it was pointed it out to me in the first place.

It gets better. I dashed off a quick email to the creators of the strip saying that I enjoyed it and I had linked to it from my blog. An hour or so later I received a long-ish personal email from the writer. Not just an automated "Thanks for contacting us. One of our operatives will read your message soon. We value your custom." reply, but one that clearly showed he had read my email and even looked at my blog, and recommending a book that ties with my interests in growing food.

So the Rustle The Leaf people get two big thumbs up from me for being actual human beings.
