| Aaand another idiot pads his good comments. Huzzah. |

Oh by the way...comparing the idea of using other people's characters to how some comics have similiar concepts? Bullshit. You're using graphics, characters and situations someone else created based on an idea that was only original when Dave Anez thought it up. You're so far removed from creativity and originality its not even funny.
Just like your comic. |
| Comic: Misadventures of Wonderboy |
 |
| Maybe, but at least I created my characters. |
| Comic: Misadventures of Wonderboy |
 |
| Yeah, effort. That'd be a logical argument if you didn't do a fucking sprite comic. If you really were putting forth any effort you'd have done a hand drawn comic instead of going "I like Bob and George and 8 Bit Theatre. Lets make the bestest rip off comic ever! GOSH!" |
| Comic: Misadventures of Wonderboy |
|
Ah, constructive critisism cry the un-talented!
Heres a tip: Just because you ask for nice comments, doesn't mean your comic doesn't suck. Get bent whiners. |
| Comic: funkysmell.com |
|
| And once again you have chosen to advertise your site with an obnoxious, flickering banner. Ugh. |

Eh, I wouldn't go so far as to say creators are thin skinned nor do I think that you should limit your posting. Tom has some great advice, take it.
Yes I did do a blurb for my comic on the Academic Team Vol. 2 page. It was also absoludicrous the way I worded it so I doubt many people will take it for anything other than the joke it was meant to be.
And yes I do critizise others. On the other hand, the nice things I have to say far out weigh the bad reviews I've given. And even then I try to hold back and not purposely flame someone (try to mind you, I'm human after all).
Finally, I never compared your work to mine nor have I ever indicated that my ability to draw gives me more right to critizise than others. |
| Comic: Plotless Violence |
 |
Alright Plotless, kiddo, whatever. Me and you are going to have a talk about why people can't stand you.
For starters, having your friends post nice things about your strip is just plain stupid. It makes you look egotistical and its dis-honest. If there was honest to gosh value to your work people would be willing to give you high marks without you asking.
Second, you're full of shit. The problem isn't that you tear others down its that you build yourself up at the same time. 'Nother words, you mock others by comparing their work to yours. That makes you sound even more egotistical.
Lastly, your comic is crap. Sorry, it is. Its hard to be impressed with a guy who demands to be entertained by other sites when he can't even make a decent comic himself.
Tool. |
| Comic: Academic Team Vol. 2, The |

Alright hmmm...I'm just going to be petty about this.
This has potential to be the worst comic I have ever had the displeasure to read. Sloppy cut and paste comics coupled with jokes nobody will get unless they know the people involved. And if they do know the people involved I bet they deny it. A soggy dick of a comic if ever there was one.
If you want an awesome strip to read, read Less Than Kate. It rocks out loud and has your timely dose of hand-drawn, punk chick goodness. Now with pink hair and tattoos! I give it five stars! And theres no way I'm biased!

| Comic: Scary Go Round |
 |
| Its a good read and it features some pretty nifty artwork. |
| Comic: Radioactive Panda |
 |
| The humor can feel forced at times, which is never a good thing. It is a good comic though, the author (or is it authors?) need(s) to learn to relax a bit with their writing. |
| Comic: Beaver and Steve |
 |
| Whimsically insane. |
| Comic: Bigger Than Cheeses |
 |
| Its great, but what the guy needs is an editor to help him weed out the weaker material. Of course, that goes for most comics but Goon's work is so close to perfection that when theres a bad joke, its horribly noticible. |
| Comic: Pearls Before Swine |
 |
| This comic is the wet dream of anyone who liked comics like Bloom County. Edgy, funny, and a wit that surpasses almost every other strip out there. Oh yes children, Pastis has mastered the art of cut and paste art and its good. The simplicity of the art only adds to the humor. |
| Comic: Get Fuzzy |
 |
This is, hands down, the best comic in syndication right now. And thats saying alot considering that the likes of Dilbert and Pearls Before Swine are running.
The attention to detail is brilliant and the humor manages to have an edge to it without being smutty or gross (Liberty Meadows, I'm looking at you!). I've been a fan since late year one and I haven't missed a day since.
And worse than Garfield? For shame again Wutasumi. |
| Comic: Kiagi Swordscat |
 |
| Been reading this since the "Mad Clown" storyline. Hoo Hoo changes styles alot but the strip's writing is strong enough that it doesn't matter. |
| Comic: Zeera the Space Pirate |
 |
| Eh, giggle isn't quite the reaction I got from this comic. Smiles maybe, and a wicked urge to watch Xena. |
| Comic: Counter Culture |
 |
| Its a niche strip, luckily I fall into that niche. |
| Comic: Blade Kitten |
 |
| I like it but I don't. I dunno, there are times where the author really gets cooking and the comic is great. Then there are other times where the story just seems to sputter out. Worth reading and it is easy to see why its only updated once a week but damn, I wish there were more to it. |
| Comic: 9 Chickweed Lane |

| Its hard to give a high rank to a comic that wastes so much time on what can only be described as "filler strips". |
| Comic: Sluggy Freelance |
 |
| No you have no honor! |
| Comic: Loserz |
 |
| Meehhh, could stand to be more original and it relies on manga art cliches when it really doesn't have to. Sadly, it doesn't appear to be updating right now. |
| Comic: El Goonish Shive |
 |
| Dan's comic scares the living shit of me. In good way. |
| Comic: Pet Professional, The |
 |
| Its quite possibly the sickest idea for a comic ever. EVER. And it rocks out loud. In stereo. |
| Comic: Ctrl+Alt+Delete |
 |
| Not quite my thing, but its easy to see why people like it. |
| Comic: Stage Select |

| Why the fuck this isn't higher on the list, I don't know. And nice to see TWL is doing something about these spam idiots. |

ZOMG!!111 8 SHITS THEATRE HAZ TEH BESTEST WORDZES EVER!!!11 IT NO RELY ON ARTS!!!111
Goddess, do I ever hate hypocrites. |
| Comic: funkysmell.com |
|
| Lets see...its not funny. The art is ugly. There you go. And for the love of Goddess, you KNOW people hate your banner, so change it! |
| Comic: Foxtrot |
 |
One THE worst print comics.
Only good print comics...for shame Wutasumi. Get Fuzzy, Pearls Before Swine, Frazz, Mony, Sheldon, Dilbert, Unfit (as new as it is), and the Boondocks are leauges better than this warmed over piece of pop culture bullshitting.
Lets not forget comics of the past: Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Far Side, Bloom County, Krazy Kat, Thimble Theatre, etc...all of these have more charm than Foxtrots. |
| Comic: Reckless Youth |
 |
| Not bad, not great but nowhere near as clever or original as it thinks it is. Read it once and then never again. |
| Comic: funkysmell.com |
|
| It isn't that you're advertising, its how you're going about it. Doesn't matter though, I wouldn't like your comic even if you weren't so aggressive with advertising it. |
| Comic: funkysmell.com |
 |
| Unfunny, just...awful. Doesn't help that the author is trying to burn it into our brains. And you CAN leave t he stars off you know. It looks bad when you give yourself five stars. |
| Comic: Outer Circle, The |
 |
| A lot better than most of the other crap out there. |
| Comic: VG Cats |
 |
| VGcats takes the concept of video game comics and makes it it's own. Its nice to see a gaming comic that can stand on the merits of its characters alone. The comic would rule even if it wasn't about gaming. |
| Comic: Chugworth Academy |
 |
| There are days I wish that the ranking was based on a score of 1-10 instead of five stars. Good artwork but the writing is seriously hit and miss. Chugworth's biggest challenge here to fore seems to be finding a balence between humor and just trying to offend people. Going for the lowest common denominator does not make your comic edgy. |
| Comic: Plotless Violence |
|
| Oh, I forgot to mention that he gave HIMSELF 5 stars TWICE. Shame, shame... |
| Comic: Plotless Violence |
 |
Now don't get me wrong, I know that good art is not the end all or be all in a comic. Writing though, is incredibly important and this comic fails the test. Calling the comic "Plotless Violence" doesn't excuse the complete and utter lack of a point in this waste of internet space. Its horrible horrible horrible.
"Ohnos! Other comics break the fourth wall!" Big, frick deal. His comic uses crappy and generic Photoshop filters but he doesn't seem too concerned about that. And I swear to God the kid uses the word "cliche" so much in his reviews that the word has lost all meaning.
Theres another kid around these parts called Twitch that does the same thing that Plotless does: bad comic, but judges others more harshly than he does himself. And the ONLY ones giving these kids good reviews are people that had to be asked to do it. I mean take a look below. The one person who actually bothered to register only has this comic listed as a favorite. The rest either have no username or just have an e-mail address listed. Pathetic.
I have to give this comic one star or nothing at all, so let me describe what an accurate ranking for this comic would look like. A puking star giving the author the finger while being screwed from behind by a gorilla. And an ugly gorilla at that. |
| Comic: Aikida |
 |
Fenris is a God and Twitch wouldn't know a good comic if it bit him in the ass.
The best part about this comic is the characters, whose personalities' shine through no matter what changes Fenris makes to the strip. A strong heart is central to any great comic and Aikida has heart to spare. |
| Comic: Anime Arcadia |
|
| Because when it takes you a week to do an update you should have more to speak of than simple, generic, black and white line art (and only six panels to boot). |
| Comic: Anime Arcadia |
|
| The problem with AA only updating once a week is that there isn't anything to it. Six panels, simplistic art, and no color. Plus there are two guys working on it so its like they're coasting. |
| Comic: Anime Arcadia |
 |
Key to success: Slam the word "anime" in front of everything you do (Anime Arcadia, Anime Concepts), hardly update, and have contests with generic questions to drum up voting support.
Cute, but nowhere near as good as its ranking would suggest. Even worse is that its just another variation of the tired "Lets do a webcomic" formula (in this case, "I want a cat-girl"). And it has way more man-ass than a comic written by a dude should have. |
| Comic: Less Than Kate |
|
| Touchy? Heavens no. I am in serious doubt about the sincerity of your post though. Get a life you dope. |
| Comic: Checkerboard Nightmare |
 |
| One of the most brilliant strips out there right now. |
| Comic: Less Than Kate |
|
Surprise surprise. The only other person with something negative to say about my comic is the only person (sides me) to have a posted a comment about Twitch's lame ass "strip".
Come on folks, bad feedback is still feedback and I accept it. Hell, there are days where even I think the stuff I make is crap. But posting because I zinged a friend of yours? Lame, lame, lame. Spend the time spent attacking me to actually improve your comic. |
| Comic: 8-bit Theatre |

In reply to Plotless Violence:
All sprite comics are considered parody under the Fair Use Rule of the United States Copyright Act of 1976. There are also plenty of sprite comics that parody the events of the games they're based on but hey, those don't star Square-Enix characters so we can forget about them. The fact is that NOTHING excuses the use of sprites as the focus of your webcomic. Unless of course, they're home-made like Kid Radd or A Modest Destiny. |
| Comic: Asylum 360 |
 |
| Another lame sketch style comic that occasionally throws in a splash of color because it looks "neato". The only reason I noticed it at all is because its author left a comment over at my comic. Some people shouldn't be allowed near pencils, paper, or computers. |
| Comic: Pibgorn |
 |
| Pure garbage and an utter waste of time. The author has no sense of pacing or story structure and seems to forget what the over all story is supposed to be (it IS supposed to be about a fairy fighting the forces of the apocolypse right? RIGHT?!). Plus he can't draw attractive women to save his life. |
| Comic: Perry Bible Fellowship, The |
 |
| Genius. One of the local papers where I live (The Insider) carries this comic. Its great! |
| Comic: Sore Thumbs |
 |
The problem with Sore Thumbs isn't that it mixes politics and games. The problem is that it isn't good at it. Like Hemingway, the writers of this comic seem to have very little faith in the intelligence of their readers or their ability to get the jokes. The politcal jokes have all the sublety of fishing with dynamite and are often in the form of "I am Christian that means I am conservative God hates homos" or something like that.
The gaming comics could be about anything at all really, as the mention of specific games or systems often have nothing to do with the jokes. The references are there simply so the authors can say they have a gaming strip.
Bleh. Go read something, anything other than this.
Oh, and to the guy that hinted that Checkerboard Nightmare was crap: A fart on you. Chex rules. |
| Comic: PVP Online |
 |
| Fantastic art, wonderful writing. PVP will live on in webcomics history even when it out grows the web. Anyone who thinks that the comic is crap or that Scott is failing with his syndication deals needs to actually visit the PVP site. Because they obviously have never read the comic. |
| Comic: 8-bit Theatre |
 |
| Like Sinfest, if you've read the first 100 or so comics then you've pretty much read them all. Why this is a sacred cow among those who despise sprite comics eludes me. |
| Comic: Penny Arcade |
 |
| Its worth checking out for Mike Krahulik's news posts alone. Penny Arcade deserves every bit of success that it gets. |
| Comic: Green Amulet, The |
 |
| Generic at best, horrible at worst. This comic needed a little more time in the oven before its author(s?) advertised the hell out of it. |
| Comic: MegaTokyo |
 |
| The art is generic and the story is uneven and uninteresting. Piro is also one of the whiniest authors out there. Boo hiss! Gimme an actual Japanese comic book instead. |
| Comic: Sinfest |
|
| If you've read the first month's worth of comics then you've pretty much read them all. This comic hasn't evolved one bit since it started. Pimp and ass jokes can only carry your comic so far. |
| Comic: Dilbert |
 |
| Scott Adams was the first syndicated cartoonist to embrace the web and the close ties to his fans it can help create. I think it being on the web pre-dates most actual web comics. Dilbert's existance and ranking on this site are more than justified. Scott Adams is a legend. |
| Comic: Bob and George |
