I'm a bit lost on the line about Penny Dreadful

A Penny Dreadful is a slang term for medieval/victorian newspapers catering primarily to the dishonest (thieves, primarily). I believe the comment is mentioning that the basic dishonesty of game reviewing in general is related to these old, shitty newspapers.

Or something like that.

A medieval newspaper? really?

OT:The gracious pastries are lies.

A Penny Dreadful was a 19th century pamphlet or comic with a lurid or sensational story they cost a penny. It's since been used to describe anything that has cheap sensational fiction...like fox news *flees*

A joseph ducreux style redo of the first strip? Weird, but funny, as usual.

Ah. I knew I was getting something wrong. Thanks for clearing that up.

I had no idea. That makes perfect sense.

 

[Votix]

I liked the way you wrote the comic.

 

[Leels]

Witty, beautiful and enjoyable.

You guys have done great.
Congrats to you both.

Now I have some catching up to do!

 

[Biodeamon]

Wasn't there another comic like this one except with donuts?
Or was this just cause of the royal wedding?

 

[Easton Dark]

Goodness gracious, the arms in the last panel!

Nightmares for a century I say!

*Congratulations*

 

[PunkRex]

Splendid, worth every penny may I add, not that I contribute any such funds. By George I would pay tupence if so needed.

 

[Urgh76]

This was awesome XD

I'm proud of you guys for coming so far

 

[Twilight_guy]

Steampunk... I see what you did there.

 

[GeorgW]

Congrats on 100 comics!! Keep 'em coming!

 

[winter2]

I didn't fail noticing how much improved the artwork is compared to those early days.

Holy crap what a difference!

 

[Sneaklemming]

happy 100 - heres to 100 more

 

[TheBelgianGuy]

I don't get it, "Celebrating a CENTURY of comics" somehow means Miss Critical has made it's 100th edition?

I think it means the first comic was published exactly 100 years ago from now. Can't you people read?

well comics have been around for more then 100 years they started in the 1840's

Well apparently, the sort of idea about different frames and text-balloons is even older, I had just read a satirical comic about the French revolution... SO yeah I'm just dumb, I should've known it couldn't have been 100 years.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

One year and one more time...Thanks for the awesome.

 

[Bluecho]

I got the impression this was at least somewhat inspired by Biochock: Infinite. Wait, is that a game that's still coming out? They didn't cancel that, did they? Because I'd hate to miss floating cities.

 

[mexicola]

Wow, it only took me 100 issues but I finally noticed the pun in the name of the webcomic. /doh

Congratulations and all that.
