Dude, if there aren't any critics it won't get any better. It's motivating, yes, but how good is a comic gonna get if people keep saying things like "OMG!!!! SO HILARIOUS! I'M GONNA USE IT AS WALLPAPER AND GET IN NEWSPAPER OR BOOK OMG ROFL!!!" when the joke is only decent to begin with.

But if you learn anything from all this booger, it's this, never, ever, ever, ever, use "OMG" or "WTF" in a comic unless you're mocking someone.

Why not use OMG or WTF? If the reading audience is entirely on the web, and everyone understands what those terms mean, then why not use them?

Not meaning to be critical of your advice, just trying to understand it.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw!

Well, first off, not EVERYONE knows what it means...but still, assuming everyone does, still, they're just abbreviations and it's really un-professional to use them. Same reason why you don't use those little smileys in a comic.

booger, from reading thru the posts you get on the other forum, I suggest you post something on this one asking for a review of your comic and possible suggestions. I see this as a better alternative to just going by what the people over there say, since they seem to think it's God's gift to comics, which it isn't

edit:

hmm... looking at these two lasts posts I sure look like an asshole

OMG your comic TRANCENDS TIME, booger!
[/mocking]

Sorry. I had to.

Agreed.

It's neat that a whole group of people adore your comic, booger, and I hope you do well, but I kind of had to wonder if anyone on that board had read another webcomic before! (I'm sure they have...it's just...)
Look, criticism is one of the best things you can hope to get out of this board...looking down on a review is like flushing your wedding ring down the toilet. Stupid and potentially life-threatening. :D

It looks like the strips I've seen so far on the Seriously! board aren't too sucky, but they aren't really my style, either, so I won't put them down any further. The art style is fine for the content, and I don't notice that much of a difference between the color ones and the b/w, so you could just do whichever you were in the mood for, etc. Some of them made me laugh.

I hope you have fun doing the comic! It seems like you do.
:D


Afterthought: being so negative is not a good way for me to welcome you to the board! I'm sorry! :cry:

so, Welcome! Have fun!

Don't worry about offending me with any negative comments, guys. I'm not gonna crawl crying back to mommy if someone says they don't like my strip. The fact that you're reading this thread and responding to it shows me that there's at least some interest... or perhaps curiosity. If only a handfull of the curious like what I'm doing, then that makes me happy. If you don't like it, go read somehting else. Not every comic is for everyone. And if you feel like calling me names and telling me how much I suck, go for it. If you have honest critisism, feel free to comment. I love feedback, no matter what form it takes.

My last name is 'Dick'. I went through grade school with that name. I can take an insult better than most people. I can also take critisism. I've learned over the years to not take shit too personally. After all, you don't really know my mother, so all those nasty things you said about her mean nothing... NOTHING DAMNIT! NO! YOU SUCK! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

But, I digress.

Yeah, I did have fun making them, and still am. That's really what it's all about for me. If I'm laughing at them, then I'm accomplishing what I set out to do. If someone else can laugh at them, so much the better.

Once the site is set up, I intend on getting more feedback from these forums. For now, it's still in limbo, and I don't feel right talking too much here about my comic when it isn't even a part of this community yet. I'll just keep this one humble little thread out there for now. (okay, so maybe it's not that humble... and I do have one other thread in the 'help' section... but anyway)
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw!

I can understand your sentiment, but my God that made me laugh. So hard that I think I've injured myself permanently.

Your writing is... okay. Might have potential, but presently, it's a tad mediocre.

Your artwork is kind of lacking, though.

I'd say work on making your artwork okay, or your writing above-average.

And changing your online nickname.


By the way, Ratbert. Excellent reasoning in this thread. Being both critical and supportive is a difficult thing to do as well as you seem to be managing here.

Good show.

I like this guy although I just met him. His fans are another story.

But I'm dissapointed! I expected in this thread a rants about violence in comics or something! That would be a flame!
