They were, to start out with. The comic was funnier back then, I'll admit, so I stuck with it. But as the comic went on they began to develop more personality and were easy to relate to. They may be kind of cookie-cutter in their basic personality types, but as their personalities began to come out and events shaped their lives, they became much more interesting. That's always how it goes, really: even the most complex of characters go from great to amazing not by who they are, but who the story turns them into.E.X.D. said:But thats the problem I don't like the characters there so cut and paste.Thaius said:Ctrl+Alt+Del is a very character-driven story. The story itself might not be that amazing, but I love the characters, which makes any and all of their struggles interesting and emotional. Though I will definitely check out Shi Long Pang if it's a good story-driven comic.E.X.D. said:Actually I don't think it has much of a story now Shi Long Pang has a great story, there's actually scores of others I read with better plots then Ctrl Alt Delete.Thaius said:Ctrl+Alt+ Del, for sure. Everyone seems to hate that one because it actually tells a story: I say that's stupid. It tells a good story, with well-developed characters, and it's not afraid to get serious at times when it fits. Apparently some people see that as a weakness; I can't imagine why.
I enjoy Penny Arcade, 8-Bit Theater, and Zoology as well, but Ctrl+Alt+Del is the best I've seen so far.
I don't know, I only found it recently so it might have stopped updating. The site's there though.E.X.D. said:Didn't gone with the blast wave die, they stopped updating and last time I went to the sight it was taken down.Cargando said:Favourite? Probably Super Effective, but I'd also like to mention Gone With the Blast-Wave too.

Also, sorry to be the grammar snob, but I am an english major and a tutor: "they're so cut and paste." A contraction of "they are," rather than the word "there," which implies location. Sorry, can't resist.
