Zero Punctuation: Webcomics

[Tempdude0]

So, I'm worked up over this how? I do this as one of many ways to relax. Whatever, I'll let that slide. Nice taking your time on responding though. Way to use the time to write a well thought out reply and not just toss out the first thing that comes to mind. Ah well, I guess expecting a competent reply was just hoping for too much.

First: I don't use those things. I see no reason to. I can follow writing without it and any half wit should be able to do the same. Also, I'm lazy in that regard.

Second: I dislike bad writing, so I tell people when I see it. If they're being obtuse, I beat it into them. Since this is a relaxing activity, I see no reason to go "find something serious", not to mention I take writing somewhat seriously, but that's neither here nor there. I've also not acted like I was "saving the world derp derp derp" All I've been doing is exactly what I've stated I've been doing, pointing out the flaws in crappy writing.

Third: So, the whole "MIND CRUSH" thing he used to be able to do, where'd that go?

Fourth: Uh huh. With the exception of 4th edition, the influences are still fairly blatant and the only reason they're no longer there is because a certain company chose to change who they were marketing themselves toward. Bully for them though, as I believe their nifty strategy worked.

That's "lets just drop IT" for one, and you're the one who went all thread necromancer and dredged up something that was weeks dead. Oh, and way to address any of those points I made. You're almost up there with TerraMGP (Or whatever those last few letters were) for "Dumbest poster I've seen here" which is impressive.

 

[Epic Wizard]

Actually I took those weeks to do things besides spew venom all over the internet. Also if you will refer back to some of my previous posts you will note where I said I could not and would not respond to any of your points until you gave me specific supports which I could respond to.

Um what Mind Crush >.>

Seriously I don't think Dominic has ever screwed with someone's mind to the point where it could be called a 'MIND CRUSH'. Then again my memory being what it is some days I would have to hazard a guess that such a thing would be reserved for people who deserved it. I mean what do you want? For him to mind crush the plot?

Anyways before you accuse someone of being the dumbest poster ever I suggest you go back through your own writing and see how arrogant you've been.

 

[Tempdude0]

Same here, but I figured you had either forgotten about this or were actually attempting to put together a response of some kind. Like I said, I expected far too much.

I gave specific examples. You just seem to not read. Hell, I'll toss you a bone though. The "mind crush" as I put it was used on the spiky headed demon lord. You know, that crazy purple dude that gave the infernomancer his gauntlets. That guy. Remember, Gay dudes mind, the aftermath? Major plot line? Any of this ringing a bell? As for "crush the plot" Competent writers manage to come up with stories for Superman: man of stupidly powerful abilities. Were Terracino any kind of writer he would be able to do the same for the dork wonder and his cast of cronies. Considering he has full control over where each character/plot goes, this task is made easier and yet he still can't do it.

What I want is him to keep a somewhat consistent power level. He's crushing demon lords minds, then he's beating back the storm of souls, then he's a cripple who apparently doesn't use his powers ever...For some reason. This is what I'm talking about. Sure, it's power creep, and that's a bit of a problem in and of itself, but a little cohesiveness would be nice.

Oh, and proving your idiocy again, arrogance has nothing to do with intelligence or the accuracy of the statements being made. If you bothered to make a point here and there I would be more than glad to "speak" in a civil "tone". Since this isn't the case, I treat you like the water-head you are.

I can't respond without details and since you're the one that started this I don't feel I should have to do the legwork to back up your arguments. However you've finally provided me with material to work with so I'll get started. ^_^

I gave specific examples. You just seem to not read. Hell, I'll toss you a bone though. The "mind crush" as I put it was used on the spiky headed demon lord. You know, that crazy purple dude that gave the infernomancer his gauntlets. That guy. Remember, Gay dudes mind, the aftermath? Major plot line? Any of this ringing a bell?

Yes, yes it does. Though I think that hardly qualifies as a 'Mind Crush' and if you would have read one comic further you would have seen why Dominic 1. doesn't do that very often even if he can and 2. can't do that when he's in a distressed mental state.

This is Dominic banishing the Demon lord [http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2004-04-27]

And this is why he doesn't do that much [http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2004-04-28]

Because it can cause some VERY bad things to happen to him and because his power is dependent on the strength of his mind at a given time. So if Dominic is shaken up and worn out then his power level diminishes and if he is sure of himself and mentally strong then his level of power is high.

As for "crush the plot" Competent writers manage to come up with stories for Superman: man of stupidly powerful abilities. Were Terracino any kind of writer he would be able to do the same for the dork wonder and his cast of cronies. Considering he has full control over where each character/plot goes, this task is made easier and yet he still can't do it.

I don't own any comic books so I can't count up the number of equivalent number of strips in a comic book vs the number of strips that make up Dominic Deegan to date but if I were to hazard a guess I would say that an average Comic book has the equivalent of 3-4 strips per page and has ~100 pages. So that's between three and four hundred strips. So far I think we are up to about 1800 which means we have had only the equivalent of between 4.5 and 6 comic books (probably around 5) worth of Dominic Deegan. For about 5 comic books I would say that the plot has a suitable amount of depth, breadth, and detail but then again I haven't read many Comic Books so I can't really make a direct comparison.

What I want is him to keep a somewhat consistent power level. He's crushing demon lords minds, then he's beating back the storm of souls, then he's a cripple who apparently doesn't use his powers ever...For some reason. This is what I'm talking about. Sure, it's power creep, and that's a bit of a problem in and of itself, but a little cohesiveness would be nice.

Seems fairly cohesive to me. Even Superman needs a rest once in a while and superheros have gone completely off the grid before after someone they care about dies or is injured and they were involved. Why should Dominic be any different?

Oh, and proving your idiocy again, arrogance has nothing to do with intelligence or the accuracy of the statements being made. If you bothered to make a point here and there I would be more than glad to "speak" in a civil "tone". Since this isn't the case, I treat you like the water-head you are.

My apologies for assuming you were using dumb in the colloquial sense which generally does not refer to a persons level of intelligence but more to someone's manner or general behavior. (For example if Einstein pulled down his pants and wore a lamp shade we would call him and idiot. This does not refer to his intelligence but rather the wisdom of his choice of actions.)

My main point for the last several posts has been that you have failed to provide concrete examples like what you provided in your above post (as opposed to "that time when the *insert term you use to refer to an event and I do not* happened"). If you have a problem with this post then I suggest we simply terminate this discussion now.

 

[Tempdude0]

So you're lazy. Nice.

Yes, the very bad thing of seeing into someones mind. Truly this is horrible. The only reason it went all bad road for him is because he was looking into the mind of a demon lord. Anyone else should be a walk in the park, hell, not even. Anyone else would be an afternoon nap comparatively. So, where exactly is the danger considering the Deegan-verse is filled with copious amounts of stupid people? He's supposed to be a genius, so even at his weakest he'd be able to go all Yu-gi-oh on their ass.

An average comic has anywhere from one to nine or so panels on a page and a book has about thirty two pages. Your math is bad and you should feel bad. Going by accurate measuring skills of someone who actually decided to take a look at what they were approximating, Dorkin is up to about fourteen/fifteen comics. That's over a years worth of comics in the professional world, so no, there isn't a "suitable amount of depth, breadth, and detail" Also, for those things to happen the writing needs to be above that of someone on fanfiction.net.

Because they don't go off the grid, and no, Superman doesn't really rest. As for injuries, most bounce back almost immediately because there's a pressing need for them. Snout-boy knows about danger and yet is wanking off in the middle of some hippie commune, so it can't even be said he's ignorant of what's on it's way. All in all he looks both pathetic and lazy.

Dumb:
lacking intelligence : stupid : showing a lack of intelligence

I was using it what now? What was that? I don't think your statement can quite overpower the amazingly loud cries of Webster calling you stupid. Christ, you can't get anything right, can you?

I gave you concrete examples, you just chose to ignore them initially and further avoid them by being a lazy ass. As for terminating the discussion, no, I don't think I'll be doing that. I have far to much fun with these comments. It's like going to devaintart and taking a look at all the "ORIGINAL CHARACTERS DON'T STEAL" You people try so much and yet still fail so hard. It's adorable.

 

[Epic Wizard]

So you're lazy. Nice.

Not as lazy as you. ^.^ I just don't feel like digging through 1500+ comic pages looking for what you termed a 'Mind Break'. If not wanting to waste a large chunk of my free time on an internet argument with someone who has gone from arrogant to condescending is lazy then by all means call be lazy.

Nope. I'm sorry sir you are either completely unfamiliar with the Fantasy or possibly just the language used there-in but to quote the comic itself: "Opening your mind on a Psychoplane is dangerous."

In this case a Psychoplane is the inside of anyone's mind (and for all I know a few places outside of people's minds but lets not go there) which means he faces the same risks when he goes all 'Mind Break' on anyone.

I did say I hadn't read many comics didn't I? Yes, yes I did. I'm so sorry I got it so horribly wrong and offended your delicate sensibilities. I also wish to point out that the people who make those comics are paid for their efforts and that it is a multi-person effort. You have people who draw the pencil sketches and people who ink those sketches in addition to writers and more than a few support staff. As far as I know Mookie has a girl-friend and that's it.

Because they don't go off the grid, and no, Superman doesn't really rest. As for injuries, most bounce back almost immediately because there's a pressing need for them. Snout-boy knows about danger and yet is wanking off in the middle of some hippie commune, so it can't even be said he's ignorant of what's on it's way. All in all he looks both pathetic and lazy.

Then why do I keep hearing 'I just found out' when super-hero's show up to the fight at the 11nth hour? As for injuries: These are people with super-powers. It may not be obvious but Dominic Deegan is not Wolverine. >.>

Dumb:
lacking intelligence : stupid : showing a lack of intelligence

Where did you even get this definition? (not saying it's wrong just that I couldn't find it in a quick Google search) Anyways...

Intelligence is an umbrella term used to describe a property of the mind that encompasses many related abilities, such as the capacities to reason, to plan, to solve problems, to think abstractly, to comprehend ideas, to use language, and to learn.

Given these two definitions I don't think that I am any dumber than you are. ( ',' that's a comma, use it) Also, I really don't see how this factors into this debate. As long as we are both able to make well formulated arguments then I would say we are both intelligent enough to partake in this discussion.

I was using it what now? What was that? I don't think your statement can quite overpower the amazingly loud cries of Webster calling you stupid. Christ, you can't get anything right, can you?

Fun fact: It was Dictionary Day the other day. Also: Ability to comprehend ideas failboat.

I gave you concrete examples, you just chose to ignore them initially and further avoid them by being a lazy ass. As for terminating the discussion, no, I don't think I'll be doing that. I have far to much fun with these comments. It's like going to devaintart and taking a look at all the "ORIGINAL CHARACTERS DON'T STEAL" You people try so much and yet still fail so hard. It's adorable.

I'm not sure if you were implying this or not but I may as well point out that I have never posted anything on Deviant Art. If you gave concrete examples (like you did in your previous post) then I'm sorry if I missed them (and am still missing them) so could you please point them out?

P.S. Don't be a jackass.

 

[Tempdude0]

Hey, he has archives. It's not that hard to look it up. You wanted an example, I gave it. I'm not grabbing it and serving it on a silver plate for you.

Yes, but it's based on intelligence/mental stability. Since Dominic is both one of the most intelligent people around and the biggest arrogant douche-bag in all the land, he should just use it every time. You know, what with everyone else being an idiot as well.

Damn, that google thing is hard to use. God forbid you type a sentence into ANY search engine. Also, there are plenty put out in black and white and done by a single person. Since dip shit makes a living off his comic, I get to compare him to those people. In comparison, he is lacking in art, pacing, and general writing. In comparison to people who DON'T make a living off their work, he's lacking in art, pacing, and general writing as well, but that's just me picking on the poor simpleton. We-fucking-ha.

Websters. You know, the DICTIONARY? That thing with words and definitions? What, do you use dictionary.com or some shit? Lord save me from people who botch even the easy route. As for the ":" used, it's for the break in different definitions you 'tard. HAVE YOU EVEN USED A DICTIONARY BEFORE? God damn you're stupid. Don't try to sound intelligent when you know jack shite about what you're saying. Good thing I didn't include the phonetic spelling, or you'd be correcting that as well. As for those two definitions, yes, you are. You lack the ability to put forth cohesive arguments. You lack understanding of words and their usage. You can't even use language appropriately. You've fucked up on half the list, so yes, I'd say you're quite a bit lower on the intellectual totem pole than I am.

Websters IS the dictionary, you, massive, idiot. Miriam Webster, the definitive and comprehensive dictionary when relating to the English language...And, were I you, I would avoid attempting to call out people on lack of comprehension when 1) They're in the right, and 2) You've yet to comprehend half of what's been typed.

...I was implying that people on Deviantart have juvenile reactions to criticism whether it be constructive or harsh. They tend to ignore any bit of reason or evidence presented before them and blindly charge on, so sure they're in the right. See, this is where you keep on failing at reading comprehension. You read it through once, skip the majority of what's written, pick up on a single word or phrase, and then talk out your ass.

P.S. I'll stop being an ass when you stop being such a obtuse moron.

 

[Epic Wizard]

Hey, he has archives. It's not that hard to look it up. You wanted an example, I gave it. I'm not grabbing it and serving it on a silver plate for you.

Then you are an idiot. When you are citing a source you don't just go 'that one over there that looks like a thing'. You tell the other person where to find what you are referencing and point them directly to it. Have you ever actually written an essay before? As in one where you had to cite sources?

Yes, but it's based on intelligence/mental stability. Since Dominic is both one of the most intelligent people around and the biggest arrogant douche-bag in all the land, he should just use it every time. You know, what with everyone else being an idiot as well.

How do I put this... NO. What is meant by 'Opening your mind on a psychoplane is dangerous' is that it doesn't matter who's psychoplane or how much stronger you are than them because you can still fuck yourself up.

I wish to add that I am very glad you don't have any sort of supernatural ability because from the sound of it you would be the sort of person that superman needs to go beat the shit out of.

Damn, that google thing is hard to use. God forbid you type a sentence into ANY search engine.

No idea what you are talking about here. This is where use of the quote tags comes in handy.

Also, there are plenty put out in black and white and done by a single person.

Name them and cite your sources.

Since dip shit makes a living off his comic, I get to compare him to those people.

According to whom? Mookie is doing something completely different from what they do and if you don't like it (I think I've said this about half a dozen times already) then you are not obligated to read it or any other webcomic that you do not like.

In comparison, he is lacking in art, pacing, and general writing. In comparison to people who DON'T make a living off their work, he's lacking in art, pacing, and general writing as well, but that's just me picking on the poor simpleton. We-fucking-ha.

Which is funny because your thought process lacks in sense, clarity, and general cohesion. Again name some comics that you like which fit the above criteria.

Websters. You know, the DICTIONARY? That thing with words and definitions? What, do you use dictionary.com or some shit? Lord save me from people who botch even the easy route.

At this point I'm in college so I don't actually have a physical dictionary. Go figure. Plus it's very hard to cite a physical book in an online argument since I can't really assume that you have the same book I do.

As for the ":" used, it's for the break in different definitions you 'tard.

You used a semi-colon in two different ways in the same 'sentence' which could be mistaken for each other which is a poor move stylistically (and I just know you are going to say this but I did not infact mistake your usage of the semi-colons I was simply correcting your poor use of them)

HAVE YOU EVEN USED A DICTIONARY BEFORE? God damn you're stupid.

God damn is an exclamation and should therefore have a comma after it, and yes I have used a dictionary before.

Don't try to sound intelligent when you know jack shite about what you're saying.

Learn to spell. Also what are you talking about since there isn't really anything you have presented before this that the main idea of this sentence could latch onto (the idea being "what you're saying"). Please clarify.

Good thing I didn't include the phonetic spelling, or you'd be correcting that as well.

Only if you were grammatically incorrect or ambiguous in your presentation of it.

As for those two definitions, yes, you are. You lack the ability to put forth cohesive arguments. You lack understanding of words and their usage. You can't even use language appropriately. You've fucked up on half the list, so yes, I'd say you're quite a bit lower on the intellectual totem pole than I am.

Actually I've been using language quite effectively and I doubt you can cite specific examples of where I have done otherwise. As for cohesive arguments you are the one who can't even include a simple citation in the form of a link. It's not like I'm asking for an APA style bibliography here.

Websters IS the dictionary, you, massive, idiot.

No it is a dictionary. Also you use to many commas. (yes I know what you are doing with them but it only makes you more annoying and look dumb)

Miriam Webster, the definitive and comprehensive dictionary when relating to the English language...And, were I you, I would avoid attempting to call out people on lack of comprehension when 1) They're in the right, and 2) You've yet to comprehend half of what's been typed.

Half incoherent paragraphs which don't bother to cite back to what they are referring to are generally hard to comprehend. While Miriam Webster may have penned the first American dictionary but the Oxford English Dictionary is the keeper of the English language.

...I was implying that people on Deviantart have juvenile reactions to criticism whether it be constructive or harsh. They tend to ignore any bit of reason or evidence presented before them and blindly charge on, so sure they're in the right.

If it's you providing the criticism and you provide it in the same manner in which you have been relating to me then I can understand why they would be defensive or hostile.

See, this is where you keep on failing at reading comprehension. You read it through once, skip the majority of what's written, pick up on a single word or phrase, and then talk out your ass.

Noooo... I just don't consider saying bunch of stuff and then indicating that the support is over somewhere among a whole lot of similar information to be supporting your side of the argument and I certainly don't see a reason to support it for you. Lets take a page out of reality here. If you tried this in a scholarly paper you would never get it published with arguments this poorly supported.

P.S. I'll stop being an ass when you stop being such a obtuse moron.

I can't promise anything on the obtuse bit but I know I'm not a moron.

 

[babyblues]

Oh for the love of god, this is still going on? Move on, people!

 

[Tempdude0]

To Babyblues, but I'm enjoying myself. It soaks a few minutes of time and provides entertainment, so I see no reason to stop anytime soon.

To Epic Fail up there:

Yeah, and even when going by MLA format you don't reference the exact paragraph. You reference the work as a whole unless quoting. Since he has an easy to look through archive and I pointed you in the direction you do the legwork from there. You know, just like anyone who checks sources has to do. You're not very good at making points.

Uh-huh. You must have neglected to read the arc where he mentioned it. It's dangerous, yes, but your defense is based on how strong/intelligent you are. It's like you're not even trying to refute my points or make any of your own. As for Superman, you could have at least gone with someone who was less likely to give a strong talking to than a beat down.

I was referencing the number of pages in a comic and your lack of knowledge concerning them. Because, oh Christ, you can't look ANYTHING up can you?

Answering in order, Bone, and up yours.

According to the fact he's making a living off of his work. He likes to pretend he's a professional so I hold him to the same standards. Any other stupid questions?

What, good art, pacing, and general writing? Fine, Watchmen and Sandman. As for my thought processes, all that would be true if not for, oh, you know, my writing being as blunt as a brick to the face. The sense, clarity, and cohesion shine right through because we all know subtlety is lost on you and as such, I abandoned any attempt at it ages ago.

Webster.com.....I swear, how is it you manage to be so dim and yet are still able to operate a keyboard? The Miriam Webster dictionary is all right online for all your viewing pleasure, so that argument is moot.

I copied, literally, the passage from the dictionary. Good old fashioned ctrl+c and ctrl+v. So, now you're citing the dictionary as being incorrect. Well, what would they know, they've only been doing their job for longer than you've been around. Surely they are at fault here!

Yes, it would...were it used as an exclamation and not said in an exasperated tone. Then it's merely another part of the phrase. You're really failing at this whole "critiquing my writing" thing.

Shite is an acceptable variation of shit you ass, and as for "what you're saying" RTFP! That'd be "read the fucking post" I was commenting on the fact that you were attempting to correct the GOD DAMNED DICTIONARY! That makes you wrong. Provably wrong no less, and brands you as an idiot. You even tossed in information about intelligence as if it were refuting what I was saying. It only further clarified my statements for all the little kids that need helmets when they go outside....That'd be you, incidentally.

Yes, because quoting the dictionary itself is grammatically incorrect or ambiguous, as is calling someone dumb, because, you know, that can TOTALLY be interpreted in a wide variety of ways.

You couldn't comprehend my usage of the word "dumb" a one fucking syllable word and proceeded to argue with the ACTUAL DEFINITION. That right there points out your lack of prowess concerning the language. As for the link, fuck you, do the leg work. I gave the story arc, you find it yourself.

Riiiiiiight. It hasn't at all been the comprehensive dictionary for many a decade. The Oxford version still sees PLENTY of use, seriously. Like, all the time. As for my usage of commas, I'd use less but since you're failing at taking in a whole statement at a time I figured I'd do you a favor and break it down into manageable, bite sized nuggets of information.

Yes, because it's sooooooo hard to read down a list. Oh, I fear I may faint from the mental strain of reading an itemized list in order and with appropriate breaks. As for the Oxford dictionary...Heh....heheh.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh Christ, you're probably serious, aren't you? HA!

Yeah, because no one likes to be proven wrong. Regardless of my phrasing and word choice, the statements made still hold the same amount of weight were I to write all happy and polite. Long story short, quit being a ***** and respond to the actual criticisms leveled and worry about how much of a meanie I am later.

Sure I would. Once again, I cited the source and story arc. This is tantamount to a book/chapter which is quite enough for a citeable source. So, uh, neener neener?

...You realize obtuse means....You know what, sure, I'll go with what you said. We can both agree on your being obtuse, especially with that last comment.

TEMPDUDE0 SAID: Look at me! I'm on the internet! And I win! You lose! You are a loser! Look how much you suck! I am arguing so much better than you! I laugh at you! Hahaha! This thread will never die! I am right! You are wrong! Haha!

I love how this thread is so long and ongoing that it ends up in The Escapist front page article: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_174/5429-Private-Buffoons

The fact that the article is called Private Buffoons is humorously appropo.

 

[Tempdude0]

The other guy seems to be in the same boat as myself, but I suppose I get it because I'm choosing to be slightly less eloquent with my insulting phrases. That's neither here nor there though. I also assume there's a point in there somewhere but I seem to be missing it. As I've repeatedly stated, I do this as a five to ten minute distraction from other things going on. Nothing relaxes me like spewing vitriol all over the place, especially when dealing with people like numb nuts up there who insist on typing statements like this in relation to a direct quote from the dictionary:

"You used a semi-colon in two different ways in the same 'sentence' which could be mistaken for each other which is a poor move stylistically (and I just know you are going to say this but I did not infact mistake your usage of the semi-colons I was simply correcting your poor use of them)"

Because yes, the dictionary is apparently written incorrectly...somehow. Funny thing is, I'd be willing to discuss this in a nicer way, which is just as relaxing, if my good buddy would attempt to actually refute anything stated earlier. He has, to wit, made every effort to side step what was asked and went off on rants only tangentially related to the question/point. Seeing as I'm such a good sport and all, I figured I'd do the same thing but with infinitely less respect. Since that's the first time you've posted in relation to this argument, I'll do you a solid and respond with courtesy.

As you can see, and would have seen had you read my previous posts, that I'm essentially dicking around with all the insults. They're in almost direct proportion to my respect for the person with whom I'm debating. Due to this one ever so important fact, which I previously stated mind you, I really would attempt to avoid re-hashing what I've already said I'm doing and using as some kind of proof that I'm in the wrong.

So, feel free to keep this discussion going by joining on in. A few more posts per week would be welcomed.

Quote Thingy: CAD > Penny Arcade: End Quote

Indeed, I'd rather have Sky Diving and Xbox Robots than Ping Pong random side storyline... thing.

 

[Brockyman]

Your ripping of Crtl+Alt+Del was well justified. I even went to read a few to make sure you weren't being a dick, and it is GOD AWFUL!

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Even though the miscarriage thing in CAD was overdramatic, it was necessary as soon as the damn baby scenario was created, cause CAD would lose ALL their readers if it didn't happen and the baby was born. I liked it in the parts where it only was about video gaming itself and trying to break into gaming companies to get an early copy of a game (maybe next time they can break into Ubisoft to steal PoP or the next Assassin's Creed) and make love to it in front of all fanboys who want it so bad they'd sell their mom, or even worse, their copy of FFVII. But I like CAD, cause it still holds on the old sense of humour as good as it can, like holding a slippery soap and dropping it several times, and they still got some good puns, they just need to think before they impregnate someone. I hope it will stay for a long time, and that they will make fun of the next generation of games I care about (not WoW though, cause I hate it, no offense to Blizzard, they still make good games like...Ummm...).

[alienmastermind]

I write and draw a comic my own self.

http://www.dipswitchcomics.com/67

Actually, sometimes I'm funny, sometimes the jokes I try fail. But, using this rant of Yahtzee's as a template, I honestly try to avoid being internet pollution. Also, I'm trying to get better at both the art and writing since I do both myself.

I have to say, this is probably the most watched episode around my workspace. If I think I'm falling into the formulaic pap of the rest of the webcomics out there, I will scrap something. Sometimes, it works out, and sometimes it doesn't.

But, I thank Yahtzee for being a prick about this, because he keeps the rest of us out there honest in terms of humor.

Thanks, man.

I have only seen a few web game-comics, but so far I find vgcats.com the most entertaining.

I had never heard about "CAD" before this review, which I guess is a good thing...
