I dunno.
I find them to be entertaining, for the most part, but, I think they might serve better as chapter bookends or official intermissions over showing up sporadically in the course of the storyline. Kinda interrupts the flow.
I like them! Adds to the world in my opinion, plus they're funny. I'd agree with Phoenix up there that they might work better as chapter-ends or intermissions, though.
Using Star Wars terminology, Donna at this point is probably equivalent to a TIE interceptor driver. A bad guy, sure, but so low on the totem pole that nobody cares aside from the A-Wing pilot with dialogue who gets smoked by them.
This isMaerc Corporation. Of course, all things change.
I'm enjoying the Short Shots quite a bit. I find they enhance rather than distract.
It may make a difference that i'm bulk reading to get caught up so they don't make me wait for the longer strips, but i think they're a good thing.
(Then again, i alternate with single image Extra!s on T3C, so maybe i'm just covering my own wide butt)
Of course, being a year late makes my opinion a bit irrelevant.
Gonna let you in on some of the "secret sauce"--my ability to generate comics daily is what drives my consistent ability to get a Popular Now ranking on CF. I got real life obligations, I can't do that if every update takes 2-3 hours. Also, sometimes I just want to draw some pleasant curves--yes, I run on zero buffer. Hence Short Shots.
I do like how they sometimes continue or elaborate the main strips, and other times just give different peeks at things.
While i don't really try for the Popular Now these days (did tolerably well back on eMT and Actual web comics, but T3C is kind of a niche affair), that Also hits home for me. That's a lot of what started my single-image Extra!s; just being able to be Quick, Random, or Both.

I... may have some exceptionally lewd punchlines to run past you shortly.

I used to have a buffer. I kind of miss it.
And then again, "problematic" kinda runs in the family.
