Constructive... That is, constructive criticism is meant to be helpful. Thus, it’s usually longer and more elaborate than just an opinion. It will also offer some advice for improvement and even some positive comments.
Rude... people won’t even bother looking that deep, just blurt out some negative comment no one asked for.
Don't worry, we expected some initial confusion and mixed reactions, they're inevitable whenever you change something radically and without prior notice. In fact, it's the kind of reaction we wanted. People are always fearful of change, but what ultimately matters is that it's change for the better. We're confident you'll all love the new and improved Tantrums.
Perhaps I'm being too honest here, or too sentimental, but the comic is quite symbolic to the team. It starts with a setup for a joke, but gets cut-off and ends unexpectedly, setting up the stage for future issues and, yes, a whole bunch of questions from our thoroughly confused Tempies. We wanted to show you guys that something old is coming to an end and something new is taking its place without actually spelling it out - you guys are smart and, collectively, you figured it out in the end. The hint was in the title, it wasn't a complicated puzzle.
