Title: Show some respect....
Post by: Sgt.Chilly on November 18, 2008, 05:36:34 AM
...this is why Josh Lesnick is one of the best webcomic artists around.

His ranty non story comics are stupid funny even when he feels down.

Heh, I love that guy's comics.
But yeah, there's too many stick figure comics. LEARN TO DRAW.

I didn't laugh...maybe that wasn't the best representation of this guy's work?

I didn't laugh. I guess I don't get it.

Yeah, it looks like some comics might be funny though

I'd probably find this a tad more humorous if I read his stuff regularly.  And xkcd is the only good stick figure comic I've ever read, and it's pulls it off perfectly, since most of the comics are hilarious.

Agreed. xkcd is great.

I used to read Girly, but I eventually got bored with it, so no more Josh Lesnick for me.

Cyanide and Happiness is the best Daily Webcomic, by far, and it uses stick figures.

but then again,
-it's daily
-it's drawn by multiple artists
-some of the artists have off days
-some of the jokes you need to have been reading the ENTIRE COMIC (about 4 years) to get.

Yeah the joke was a little obscure but it was kinda a throwback to when he griped about stick figure comics in journal entries and as such the idea of him griping about other comics again would be terrible.

Maybe the video game reference will be more appealing.  Alsos I read XKCD and C&H.  Because I'm a whore.

First comic wasn't funny, and the second one you just posted is stupid.

Second one was a little better.

the same can be said about halo and many other FPS

if Nintendo does the same thing people complain they are running out of ideas, if they change a game people still complain that they are ruining the classics, they can't win

The second one was waaaaaaay too long.

I did like the Able Sisters' Panel though.
Especially what Sable said.  :D

Too many panels, but in VG Cats it's not funny.

It's also called Ctrl+Alt+Delete Syndrome.

Ah. Okay. I don't follow webcomics, so I wouldn't have known.

Some of the VG Cats comics have potential to be funny, they just drag out the build up, and the resulting punch line sucks.

CAD actually suffers from excessive copy/paste and hemmoraging of the dialogue.

Penny Arcade is always good, but SNAFU makes me laugh nearly ever time.
