Well, that's why I wrote "argue" about it. I didn't say (or mean) that people shouldn't voice their opinion. But if someone thinks something is funny and someone doesn't (i.e. both stated their opinion), then it's mostly pointless to start an argument who's "right"... well really basically what I said before. If you go back and read some earlier posts then maybe you'll see what I mean - not that it matters much, really.

Granted, my first post was a little bit satirical/unclear, but I hope I have clarified that now.

Now we need more comics.

10000 years of the same swords and shields sort of tech is goofy.

This is for Boksi:

I like your panel very much, the near-ascii simplicity of it fits the game well.
Also the contrast between the wordy question and the mechanical answer/punchline parallells the game's absurd baroque-yet-discreteness.

Only thing is the punchline does not really show against the background, I had to drag a mouse square over the image to get contrast to read the line..
Is that intentional?

He probably just drew them in photoshop or gimp or paint shop pro.
I'm sure the same comics made in paint would be just as funny though so use what you have if you've got some ideas stirring.

These are very very funny.

Yeah, something very simple that took me years to realise:  There's no how-to with art.  It's all subjective, and ultimately all about how you choose to make it.

Yeah, that's true. Going over some of your posts again, I can see what you mean.

Yeah, I realized the colour problem after I posted the comic, but I couldn't be bothered to fix it until now. Although the other version could've worked, because you had to strain to see it, creating more suspense or whatchamacallit, but nah. I'll reupload the fixed picture to my server.
