Agreed. It really is nothing more than a parody. As I was stating to the others above and below just now...how much you like this comic has a lot to do with how much you like parody for the sake of parody.
And I admittedly snickered at some of it - specifically the little jabs at Hollywood and the comics industry. Although as far as mocking Hollywood goes - I still think the flick Tropic Thunder is a lot funnier. (Even if it went on too long as well. That's the problem with parody - it is better if it is short. If a joke goes on too long...it loses it's sting.)
