Title: Honest Opinion
Post by: Odonadon on February 08, 2005, 09:05:46 AM
The plan is to use this as a retro caming comic of sorts for the most parts (these are mostly screeners, if you will).  I know the art work is bad (it's supposed to be).  Yes, the humour is.... well, it's either there or not (depending who you are).  One of my brothers loves it, the other seems to be indifferent.  What do you think?

It sucks. The humour is lame and you seem to try way too hard. Another problem is that the images don't match what's going on. You're just telling a joke and there are images stuck to it. You might want to think about getting a little more flexible setup, where you're nog always stuck with 4 images. (and develop a more original sense of humour)

I liked the first and the fifth.  But other than those two they sucked.

I can't really say they necessarily suck...  I just don't get them at all.  Mark's comments about flexibility make sense to me, but since I'm not entirely sure what you're going for, I don't know what else to suggest.

going for the intentionally bad art look is okay but it should at least be interesting to look at. you should work on more eye catching bad art.

I didn't really get anyof them.
Is it  suppose to be inside jokes? Thats the way it seems.

I can appreciate random stupidity (i live on it actually)

As for the intentionally bad art. Like Den said you need to make it more interesting to look at.
Toss in a poor background. And don't force a limit to 4 frames. If you can do a 2 frame comic (duck hit me becase i didn't duck) do it.

The only inside joke was #1, which everyone seems to like.  I thought #2 was the best.

Good point about the 4 frames though.  I suppose there's nothing wrong with doing 1, 2 or 3 frames.  Just never thought about it.

That's about the limit of my artistic skills, so I don't think we'll be seeing anything more interesting to look at, even if I wanted to.

And these were intended kind of as "Screeners".  They don't really jive with anything in a series, so they may not all make sense.  But I think it's enough to get an idea of the type of humour being used.

Please keep the critiques coming.  The only way I know what to change/improve.

5 was OK, although, I am fairly sure I have seen that joke before; if not, then it's just old as shit.
The rest make baby jesus cry. Please cease and desist, or I shall force you to listen to Barry Manilow until your head explodes.
