Check pretty much every single comic that was part of one of those arcs.Fox12 said:And who hated your attempts at long form story telling? Those were the best ones. Tell us, and we'll have them burned at the stake as heretics!
So it's a gentler piece that focuses on a mentally ill woman stuck inside a tiny apartment with her hallucinations, with the implication that she dies there? Either you or I don't understand the word "gentle" in this context.The other two will be part of a new series called Erin Dies Alone. In EDA we'll be focusing on a slightly more damaged version of Erin and her adventures (*or not adventures, as the entire strip takes place in her single bedroom apartment) with a more stable cast of videogame character hallucinations. While they share a similar premise, EDA will be a far gentler, more character-driven comic than CM. Still funny, hopefully, but in a more thoughtful way.
Yo. I'm not opposed to it per se, but a lot of the CM story arcs feel unnaturally maudlin. It's one thing to have a character in a comedy series sometimes hang out with video game characters, but when CM takes a turn for drama and tries to talk about mental illness it comes off like a Lifetime movie.Fox12 said:And who hated your attempts at long form story telling?

It's one of those American things, we tend to go for orthodontics and teeth whitening a lot less than them, and up until recently (and still to some extent) that included news readers, media personalities etc etc and on TV/cinema etc you tend to get a lot of close ups of peoples faces so you notice imperfections more, especially when all your own celebrities look like Guy Smiley [edit: shit...coulda sworn he had a completely flat & white top mono-tooth thing. My memory fails me in my old age]Proverbial Jon said:I feel sorry for Grey, I really do; having that sort of work in my outh is one of worst fears.
That said, what's with this "British people have horrible teeth" stereotype? I don't know anyone with horrible teeth. And although I may not have the pearly white shine of a movie star I'm 27 and have never had any dental work despite going every year regularly - not even a filling.
So unless everyone else in every other country in the world has perfectly straight, white teeth I don't see how we earned this terrible mantle!
Yeah...that sounds particularly sad to me.Thunderous Cacophony said:So it's a gentler piece that focuses on a mentally ill woman stuck inside a tiny apartment with her hallucinations, with the implication that she dies there? Either you or I don't understand the word "gentle" in this context.
That was my first reaction to, "Dentistry on a gorge is a lost cause".SupahGamuh said:Kinda reminds me of Natural Selection 2.
Here here! I think that a ,for lack of a better word, dedicated strip will really enrich Erin's characterFox12 said:This pleases me greatly. I'd love more character driven bits.
