So It Begins

[fanklok]

tl;dr

far too wordy, make less words next time

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Although I'm not that surprised that he turned out to be against the materlistic aspect of current American culture, I was not expecting him to go on a rant about how holidays should remain pure and center around the goodness of the human condition.

Interested to see if you take this anywhere.

 

[superbatranger]

If I was there, I'd be staring like an idiot too.

 

[OniaPL]

I hate Christmas, but thanks for making it a little better.

 

[Starke]

Does the art in this remind anyone else of Fanboys?

 

[Mr Companion]

I didn't know there were people who are "vertically challened"

There arnt, there are shortasses though. On topic I would also like to coin the phrase "horasontally unchallenged".

 

[unacomn]

I had a Carmageddon flashback on panel 3.

Does the art in this remind anyone else of Fanboys?

I was getting more of a Ctrl-Alt-Del vibe from it, myself, just without the bitterly sarcastic comment at the end. Besides, if this strip wanted to be like Fanboys, it's have to update only three times a year.

OT: I think I missed something because I don't get it.

I am Jack's fury with festive holidays.

Yeah, I was talking exclusively about the art itself, not the writing.

Ah. Disregard the above comment, then.

I am Jack's fury with festive holidays.

same as already forced 2 xmas trees to be returned to the shops under the threat of them going out my window into the river these last few weeks. Fact shops overlook 2 holidays to get stuff in for xmas peeves me off as bonfire night almost dead because of these shenanigans.

 

[Chris 'Chaos' Voce]

Coming form a guy who said to a little girl that Santa's fake just because of his eyes.

 

[HaraDaya]

Who needs Christmas when you have a job.

 

[beefpelican]

I don't really like the art much...but then again look at Questionable Content when it began as opposed to now, so I guess I'll reserve judgement.

 

[Lullabye]

Who needs Christmas when you have a job.

Three cheers for the working class!
Hip! Hip! Hoor-aw crap my electric bill went up again. DAMMIT!
*sigh*
I wanna perpetual motion machine for x-maaaas, only a perpetual motion machine will do. No crocodiles, or a hydracoladderon(?). All I want for x-mas is perpetual motion...

 

[Madara XIII]

Hehe, I know someone who gave me the same damn speech. Only with more swears.

My reaction was pretty much the same. Just stood there, staring.

I basically pulled this speech on a mall supervisor upon hearing christmas music on the first of november. Pure. Win. They don't play christmas music anymore

Lucky bastard! I tried this on my boss but instead all I get is "it's the season"!

It was a week after HALLOWEEN!!! HOW DO YOU JUSTIFY PLAYING CHRISTMAS MUSIC FOR 2 and a half months!?!?

My job scares me...

 

[Vortigar]

And thus we discover the man's alter ego is Spider Jerusalem.

Only a bit more cuddly.

Just a bit mind you.

 

[WaderiAAA]

I had to google kwanzaa to get the final joke, which kinda ruined it. But hey, yay for Jack

 

[PeePantz]

...didn´t liked it

the jokes have being done and better in other comics

the characters are kind of your run of the mill stereotypes on web comix

and "the man that rages on holy days" is just... not trying...

meh... two strips in and i didnt liked it... lets hope it gets better

Thank you. I felt it was way too cliche and full of dribble. Every year people talk about the commercialization of holidays as they approach, especially Christmas and Valentines Day. It's not edgy anymore and to depict someone being surprised or angered about the fact that advertising starts this early, they are either is late to the party or insulting us for our perceived lack of intellect.

I also hope it gets better.
