We should have done it ages ago, but looks like Bigger Than Cheeses beat us to it.

He's got a point. I for one, don't understand why should anyone still submit "How not to start a comic".
I vote that we still do this theme eventually.

Can someone tell me what is exactly 'breaking the fourth wall' ?

I thought I knew, until I read that 'comic'

They submit it because it's the easiest one to do basically.

Mark, it's when you have one of the characters talk as if he is aware of being in the comic, e.g. talking to the author, referring to the panels, stuff like that.

Heh heh. Nice. Well, I can see reasons for having How Not to Draw a Comic. True, some circle around the same point. But some people can be creativly aweful. And in such cases, it needs to be there standing beside them, peering annoyingly over their shoulder, and making that little clucking sound in the back of its proverbial throat. Mwahahaahaaw!

Mhh ...well I think the comics on HNTRAC are much more funny than the one this guy did to mock at them ...

I don't think he did it to mock us specifically. In fact he seems to recommend us... except for those repetitive and pointless HNTRAC entries that no one reads because they can't.

Also, I think McDuffies gave him that idea in one of his comments.

Yeah, it's not a burn on HNTRAC at all. I think it's a great resource, provided each submission has something new to say each time instead of just rehashing old subjects. I wasn't aware that McDuffies had made a comment about the same subject, though. Which page is it on?
