Funny comics for a quick witty joke, but I feel like it's trying to hard to get a point across. Comics that are based on little jokes within itself without any outside influence always wins my vote.

Oh come on this comic has ATHEIST ARMAGEDDON.
That makes it great by force.

I don't feel that it's aimed at me so I don't feel it's right to bash it... but I did fight them pretty hard to read without wanting to send longwinded emails to the author. Some of the more irreverent ones were good fun (giving the finger to the saleswoman and the hitch-hiker one) but most of them are very self-indulgent and have a weird agenda that I'm supposed to respond to with "yeah! right!! That's what it's like, isn't it!" Like this one:



Am I supposed to denounce capitalism because some anti-semitic rotter created a successful business? Am I supposed to think that Ford should be boycotted because of someone's beliefs that were in no way connected with the company? Here's another:



This is the kind of smug shit that I really hate. It's like a liberal's version of The Onion's (intentionally) horrendous editorial cartoons:



The art is good, if not particularly interesting - although that might be the fact that you can't get much depth with vector graphics.

(S)he's venting about something... I'm not sure what.

Yeah shit, the art is quite good tho.

liberal and conservative political cartoons both fail

I'm so glad I neednt bother with this nonsense and can enjoy things for what they are.

Author:

QuoteWINSTON ROWNTREE (not his real name) lives in Toronto, Canada, and likes to make comics for some reason. He did not go to art school and has no formal training of any kind as a visual artist. Although he does not take commissions or do collaborative work or sell original art or do sketches at comic conventions, he’s not actually a flesh-eating monster who draws strength from human suffering. He will respond to requests for comics-related advice, and he will let you use his comics in your print/online publication if you ask nicely (please see the contact page for pertinent information). He hates bad comics, so if you make good comics then you’ll be his new best friend.

cunt.

edit: V I wasn't calling you a cunt, you're brills. I was calling ^this cunt a cunt.

Quote from: CrustClock;1290354cunt.

My apologies, it should be "EVERYTHING! BOOOOOOOO"

Edit: Oh, you mean the author is a cunt. Well that's just obvious

This comic is still pretentious, opinionated bile.

CRUSTBUMP.

How come everyone is so quick to call this pretentious and psuedo-intellectual? I understand the points it makes aren't AMAZINGLY insightful, but I don't think it deserves to have negative brands of pretentiousness slapped onto it just because its a comic with a point to make. I doubt you'd be so quick to insult it if the same points were made in a more "appropriate" medium (i.e book, film etc)

I think I would.
