Yep, Zoology is good stuff. The lettering doesn't affect the storyline. Now, for the cartoon, who would you get to voice the characters?

I like your website!
Reading the reviews you've written so far, though, I am now feeling sad...
OOTS has its horrible imitation. Now also Little Gamers has its own horrible imitation (which you reviewed and rightly did not recommend)... Booohooo I don't have any horrible imitator! I faaaaaaiiiiil! /emo ... just kidding :p

What's up with people though, that they have to "borrow" art style, even choice of fonts from other webcomics? Can't they come up with something slightly personal and original? Don't they realise that whatever they do it's going to look and read like shite compared to the stuff they're imitating? Oh well.

p.s. Agreed about Zoology being good stuff.

How interesting... I had just randomly wandered over to Quarter Four yesterday and was trying to decide whether or not to invest time in reading it. Now I know

I'll imitate you! Maybe! Since I have no idea how I could possibly come even close to your warped--I mean, your inventive sense of humour

Maybe slipping off into a gaming reality can be one more thing my poor characters have to deal with on April first....

Your comic is too good to be properly ripped off by talentless imitators!

Thanks! But unfortunately we have to get it on...rawr!

New review up for One-Liners!

Looks Nice
I like how you show previews of the art for the comics. I'm a total art snob when it comes to the comics I read, so they mean a lot to me :3
*bookmark'd*
I've been wanting to do something similar to this for a while but I fail for laziness.

Reviewing comics is actually pretty fun! The only problem I find is that I want to do fast, no-big-words reviews, something like this: "Comic am good! Art not make me want to vomit, words make Jack happy, give five stars!" But I end up trying to sound intelligent. Ah well......maybe an occasional comic guest reviewed by Frankenstein's monster is the answer....

Shishio · Post by **Shishio** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 12:47 pm

Thank you for the very flattering review.

One-Liners has got to be the most offensive webcomic out there,

I doubt it. It wasn't even included in this poll.

Written by Shishio and illustrated by someone who goes by the initial -U!, the main character is named after the writer, so I take it that these are some of his musings and maybe even things that have happened to him.

It's mostly autobiographical. A few strips are made up, (Such as the ones that have to do with Kiki, obviously.) and the characters do not resemble their real life counterparts in appearance, nor do they share the same names, (This is in case anyone ever decides they don't want to be in the comic anymore.) and of course, my memory isn't perfect, but I keep the comic as true as possible.

I wish more people would say what they really feel and not hide behind political correctness,

I aim to offend.

I would love to see what they have to say about gamers....heh heh....um...not that there is anything wrong with them.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I try not to stereotype. As someone who has cared greatly about comics since I can remember, I am all too familiar with the negative connotations and stereotypes associated with comics and comic readers. Adding insult to injury is the fact that some comic readers, and even some companies who are in the business, think it's funny to perpetuate these stereotypes. (This happens in the gaming industry too. I've seen a fair bit of self-depreciating D&D ads in EGM.)

"Hur, hur, hur, we're all socially inept, unhygenic virgins who will never amount to anything in life or even move out of our mothers' basements. Hur, hur, hur."

Idiots.

Oh, I didn't mean that all gamers are alike, but the few I know have SOME identical traits. Hey, I play games!

Shishio · Post by **Shishio** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 1:24 pm

I know you were joking, I just wanted to go on a tirade anyway.

I don't mind getting a review for SL.

Uncaringmachine · Post by **Uncaringmachine** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 3:12 pm

You just did it. BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Ahem. I'll get right to it.

Twelve monkeys?

Sounds a little too... imperial, eh? Most people stick with base 10 numbers for things like this...

But I like the smiling monkey pictures.

And no, I didn't think much of the movie... even with Bruce Willis starring.
