A hand-drawn, single frame cartoon "series" with some twists and turns that even babies and mad people can follow. If you don't get it, I'll try to explain. Or not. ((Note from the author:And this one is a very accurate synopsis indeed.))

Although I'm not supposed to criticize other comics anymore, this one's at the request of its author.
The art's good, much better than mine. Artist doesn't skimp on the backgrounds, and characters and species look distinct from each other. My one complaint in this regard is that the graphics program he uses to finish the comic leaves behind jagged, non-anti-aliased edges, even in the computer-typed text. It's not as bad as MSPaint, but it's not as smooth as Photoshop.
The jokes don't do it for me. They're often either ripoffs of RPGWorld or show serious fourth-wall-integrity problems. When the jokes are funny, they're not subtle enough; the dialogue sort of beats the reader over the head with the content.

made me hope it would become a cool action comic, but that seems to be the only real fight sequence in the strip. But that one alone adds a whole star to the score.
As for the plot, the basic concept behind the main character is unique and cool, but it hasn't been used to full potential now. Besides being the motivation to find the Eternal Mint, the protagonists' naturally exuding flavor could be used as a weapon against poisonous enemies, to soothe the throat to allow a dragon to breathe fire with regularity, as a taste-based key to open the mouth-entrance of a living cave, etc. Right now, everything is too moment-to-moment, and the plot points are too obvious (preserve the fourth wall, darnit!) for the strip to achieve the greatness it has the potential of doing. Also, it badly needs a strong villian who poses a real danger to the band of heroes, but there's still time to write all this stuff in.
So it's hardly the worst comic on the net, but it can get much better. |

| I can never wait for this comic to update. It is so funny and exciting. It's kind of perverted too, sometimes! A mint whelp is a mint-elemental baby dragon, and he's the main character! Maybe. How cool is that? |

| This comic has a great plot line with good characters and funny moments on every page. A must see! The auther puts so much effort into it and it shows with its increadable cheapness. |
