My Mom doesn't get the personal amusement thing either. Every one in a while she asks me to try to explain something I'm interested in and how it works. I do so and the response is always the same, "Well, I'm glad I don't have to do it."

My parents love all my comics. They read them all and bug me a LOT about every single one I don't update. They also root for the characters and respect the plot. They have always been doing that, even before I was a published author (and therefore my books were only for internal family reading ;) ) so it's really the norm with them to do so now in my forays into web comic-ing.

My parents didn't see my webcomics until they went in to print two years after they were created.
My mom's more of the reader type(is always reading some kind of book). I think she read them for reals while my Dad just looked at the art.

She said I needed to have more exciting things happen in chapters 9+ of TPCTH. She joked about Demon Eater saying I should go into therapy.

So I don't know they seem pretty supportive.

Heck, I don't get my webcomic. My parents would never read anything like what I draw... if I drew something more like the Far Side maybe they'd read it.
