Can someone explain The Martian Confederacy to me?

I just discovered this by accident and have no idea what is going on with it? I find it just plain stupid. But oddly enough, I find myself checking it every couple of days when a new strip is released.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you can check out GoComics’ page from the beginning here.

Have you read the whole thing? I hadn’t heard of it, and made it through about 6 months from your link. I both like it, and am highly annoyed by it. I like the artwork, but the characters have very little distinguishing features to differentiate themselves. The plot is really good, but the writing is…boring. Really boring. I stopped reading when there was a fight on the wing of a plane/speeder, and suddenly there’s an ax laying there. On the wing. Of a moving/banking/speeding plane.

That’s pretty much my feeling, Munch. I made it about two months in, then I skipped ahead to the most recently posted stuff. Maybe the writers are going for the “so bad it’s good” approach.
