Critical Miss: #5
- Thread starter The Wooster
- Start date
When, for the first time, the media doesn't make a ruckus about how the psychopath was a gamer...
Yet another random question. When did the "fix" happen? I never saw the original online and I thought I hit it pretty soon after it was uploaded.
This is actually a good point about how you can see the punchlines coming. That said, a lot of other comics are still funny despite this problem. In fact, MOST comics have telegraphed jokes from time to time. Since Critical Miss doesn't have a large backlog of comics built up, at this point it's not possible to properly analyze the comic simply because we don't have enough evidence of the cartoonist's style. Five comics are not enough to establish a trend, anymore than five doodles on a napkin are enough to get the measure of someone's artistic talent.ArmorArmadillo said:
I've seen maybe three or four comics that consistently surprised me in terms of punchlines. Those being: The Perry Bible Fellowship, Cyanide and Happiness, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal and, I dunno, Dilbert or something. Other excellent comics like Foxtrot and Pearls Before Swine, while good, tend to reveal their jokes in advance. But they are still good. That's my point. It's like how you can hear a great comedian tell a joke and you might have heard it before and know how it goes, but because of the WAY he tells it, it's funny anyway.
Point is, don't pass judgement too soon on a series that's only had 5 strips so far. No syndicated cartoonist will ever tell you his or her first five strips were the best he or she ever did. Because they weren't.
Did I mention I've considered cartooning as a career?
Sly little 40K reference there, that's what I like to see.
Kinda wish people would leave off the whole Ebert thing now, the man's entitled to his own opinion. That doesn't mean it has to be the right opinion. Also he makes a fantastic troll... And you know the last thing you want to do with troll is feed it.
