Comic Genesis Forums

Thanks!

I don't know if there will ever be any more Random Boy... if there is, I might change the art style a bit. Random Boy is dead for the time being, for all sorts of reasons. Of course, the forum has been dead all along.

Procrastinators unite!

Deadbeat

Fair enough.

At the very least, hopefully my reply to that long post will prevent any more people beating the long-deceased horse ^^;

While a lot of what you said made sense, some of it didn't, and overall very little of it covered any new ground. We've already dealt with all the stuff about my reactions to negative comments, including whether I act on them or not and why. That part of the conversation ended already. It's done. Th...

Hooray! We're finally getting somewhere! Timing is something you have to learn. A way to pace the strip to maximize the jokes. It's something I have to learn, but at the same time not something that can be taught. I definitely think I've made some mistakes in this respect (the aside comment in the m...

You'll notice that I never said putting in effort is automatically a _bad_ thing. If you actually have specific ideas about what improvements I could make due to putting more effort in that would NOT drastically change the comic, then they'd be very helpful, and I'd love to hear them. That's called ...

On second though, "I no longer care about it being popular" is not quite true. I _would_ like Random Boy to be more popular, I'm just no willing to drastically change the comic in order to make it popular. That's why I'm willing to change things about the site, and would hypothetically be willing to...

Warning, very long post coming up! --- Yes. The plays on words. Just full of it, this comic is. *long, long silence* :-? Looking over the ones that are online so far, 4 of them have a play on words as the main joke. That's less than I thought, but they do become a bit more common later on. Maybe it'...

You know, I just realised something. Random Boy is based heavily around plays on words. If you're not a native English speaker, you're less likely to understand those plays on words. So maybe that's part of the reason you didn't like it. Obvious flaw in this logic: Everyone else here thinks it sucks...

Oh, yeah, animation was really nice, Thanks! ^^ It seems I was totally wrong in assuming that people wouldn't like the cartoon if they didn't like the comic. I still can't even begin to imagine why that is though. I'm very curious to know. but as english-second-language-speaker I must object the la...

Thank you for your comment about the animation. Rest assured that I'm very proud of it =)

However, he also didn't exactly defend his strip in the slightest. The response he gave lacked any kind of devotion to his work, and gave the impression he certainly doesn't consider his own stuff 'good'. The feeling of personal pride in his work never seemed to grace the response! So why even MAKE...

Odd said it all. That comment of yours pretty darn sounded to me like: "my comic sucks". And even if it wasn't ment that way, your attitude leaded me to think that's your statement. Unspoken, of course, don't take it so literally. Yes, parts of my first reply _were_ ambiguous, and could have been t...

Okay kid, I'll lay it out for you: you cannot come into a forum of insane cartoonists (most of which have a damn good load of comic reading behind them) to post your comic, if you don't know how to graciously handle the response . As far as I can tell, the only time I stopped acting graciously is w...

I don't think what you're saying is law, just a fairly good overall impression of what people think. And as for thinking you're knowing what you're talking about... Well, when people start berating me for saying something I never said (since when does "I like it" mean "it sucks"?), and then proceed ...

His statement was "My comic sucks" which is not just his own impression, but a matter of fact, you'll agree. I said no such thing. Please read my last post ^^; That said, there are just far too many "random no-effort" comics in the world. Yes, they can be hilarious, but there are just far too many ...

Ooh, thanks~ ^^

"If you don't put much effort into it, you can't expect any readers at all." I admitted that I didn't put much effort into it, but to me that's not automatically a bad thing. The funniest online comic I've read is Pokey, which looks horrible, and was clearly thrown together in 2 minutes. To be hones...

Thanks for your comments. They're scarily negative, but those are the ones that are the most helpful, right? I definitely can't say I put a lot of effort into the comic. The art is bad (and very inconsistent), and almost everything that happens is either based on real life, or just something that po...

My webcomic, Random Boy, gets very few visitors, so here's a shameless plug in an attempt to get more. However, as well as a shameless plug for the comic itself, it's also a shameless plug for the Christmas special that will be online from tomorrow. It's a Flash animation lasting a minute and a half...
