Funniest comic I've seen in a while. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Wait a minute, I know this shitty comic.

It's creator spammed the shit out of it on the SA creative conventions board.

Yup, just looked it up. Same guy. Got permabanned yay.

Even made it on the bad webcomic wiki, here.

This is pretty terrible, imo, bad art, bad writing (it take TWO people to make a web comic this bad), shitty advertising methods and this from their thread on SA:

Another hater? Did you actually read the comic? I'm glad to see some support from new readers thanks guys. Like I've told the douche trolls like yourself on a 100 sites across the web Mafiosa we have lots of fans and are about to be published in Hustler for the 3rd time. I love how you just parrot the exact same comments you saw on SA and wiki its shows you lack even one creative bone in your body. If your going to critique me at least don't plagiarize all of your material from other sites.

You know, if "100 different sites across the web" have had the same opinion of your work, maybe their critique has some basis in reality. Just a thought.

Also, if Mafi's opinion happens to be the same as other people's, of course she's going to word it in a similar way.

As for my own opinion on this... It's not godawful, it's just... really boring. Sometimes, I can tell what the joke is supposed to be, but I just don't find it funny. This is one big "meh" on my part.

We are running at about 45% hate and 55% love. Some sites are 100% positive no sites are 100% negative. As for similiar that would be one thing but a few of Mafi's quote are exact verbatim. As for your "Meh" opinion I'm ok with that but since your post came so quick after mine let me ask you how many of our over 200 comics did you actually read?

I read about twenty-five. If a comic is unable to catch my interest after twenty-five tries, I am not going to waste my Sunday trying to find out whether the remaining one hundred and seventy five are worth reading.

That's the thing with comics, and fictional works in general - you only have a very short period of time to catch people's interest. Your work didn't catch mine.

Because no one who dislikes your comic could be anything but a troll. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Published =/= good. (See also: Stephanie Meyer, Christopher Paolini, and about 75% of the comics currently syndicated in newspapers.)

55% is technically a failing grade, you know.

If it doesn't appeal to someone's sense of humor, it doesn't really matter whether they read ten or two hundred.

For the record, I didn't hate what I read, and I even laughed at a few. But then, I'll readily admit I have a terrible sense of humor, and when I did laugh, it was the awkward sort of "this is really bad; why am I laughing" laugh.

What really is humorous, though, is how quickly you swooped in - on a relatively obscure forum, I might add - to defend your work, using the old "But people like it!" defense. Newsflash: People like plenty of things, but that doesn't make them free from criticism. And contrary to what your mother may tell you, you aren't a special snowflake. Sorry.

The fact that you even found this suggests you spend an unhealthy amount of time looking yourself up on google...which speaks of either a supermassive ego or a whole mess of self-esteem issues. I kind of feel bad for you.

.. I just thought of something - maybe he is secretly Bobby Crosby. Bobbykins sure did like googling his own name, and I remember having an epic sixteen-page wank with him back on Green GAFF. It's where my sig-quote comes from.

I think I might cry with joy if Bobby came back for a round two. That was some of the most entertaining bawwing I have ever seen in my life.

Also, googling your comic's name and then coming to argue with people who don't like it? Ftl.

I wouldn't brag too much about being published in Hustler if I were you...in the pre-internet days it was edgy and "cool", but nowadays it's not exactly something that many aspire to.

And as someone else mentioned, just because you've been published doesn't validate that the work is good. I don't think what I've seen is necessarily bad, but it's just...a more vulgar variant of Speed Bump.

Yeah, no. This is crap, complete with the unironic use of Comic Sans.

Oh fuck yes, this dumb fuck showed up to defend his shitty comic.

BTW, Nil, you will literally have to ban this guy to get rid of him once he's stopped being amusing. He lost 10 bucks to promote his shitty comic on SA, so nothing's going to make him go away on a forum that's free and relatively ban-free.

Also, your comic fucking blows. I have no idea why it's taking so many people to try and convince you of that fac- oh right your enormous ego.

Let's see how entertaining he gets- and besides, it could have been worse. I'll be the judge here.

Still, he's proof that in the art/comic industry, it's not what you know, but who you know. Sure, his work is cliché and boring, but he's probably got mad networking skills. I wouldn't say his ego's huge- he needs approval. But still I hate this kind of person because they undermine those of us who work our asses off to be good.

Dude, prove how awesome you are to me and the rest of the board. Draw us something. Give us, the collective of WGW, something to remember you by. Show us how awesome you are.

Lol, Nil. I think I love you.

I almost never google myself or my comic I find places because I always check my project wonderful stats which in turn lead to the places my hits are coming from. I love that just defending my comic draws cries of protest and you must have a giant ego lol. I can spot a whiny internet troll from across the internet and Mafiosa fit the bill. As for everyone hates you I think the fact that someone liked it enough to start a thread and that the second post was very positive shows thats just not true. Since we launched our new site 5 months ago we have received over 800k page views. Also keep in mind that most everyone associated with the project has been published multiple times in other formats. Together we have sold over 100 million comics. I know I know your lying yada yada thats what we hear all the time. Then we prove its true and people start saying thats not shit either. The fact is its all proof that we know what we are doing. The 45% 55% thing was just me trying to sound self depreciating the fact is that's our stats when on new forums. On our host comic sites we are 99% loved. Spot WTF is wrong with speed bump? I love that shit. I think the biggest bitch move is crying for a mod to ban someone after one post. This will eventually be the most posted on thread on this site I just ask the mods to actually read my posts and see that while I dissect my foes with my verbiage I do stay within the rules. Is it my fault that in a battle of the minds most trolls are essentially unarmed opponents?

Slim, you forgot to address my question with your block of excess verbiage:

Your lack of response leads me to believe that you lack the ability and would rather throw numbers at us. Come on, whip out the tablet and impress me. I'll gladly show you what I can do. What are ya, chicken?

I always love arguments that use numbers of page views (or number of copies sold, or Nielsen viewers) to claim overwhelming popularity.

Quantity =/= quality. Seriously.

Didn't say anything was wrong with it. I just implied that what you have produced is a derivative, more vulgar and yet less funny, form of it.

Sorry I missed your challenge I hope these are to your liking. Also thanks for giving me a chance Nihilist even if you ban me later you get a few points for not pushing the ban button out of reflex as so many mods do.

Slim, your freedom to be an idiot is something I'm willing to defend.

Regarding your work: I am sure you're proud of it, but it's too traditionalist and cliché to really make an impact on me. It doesn't tread on new territory, or point out something new to its viewers. It's like I've seen it all before, and I have never visited your website to contribute to your many hits. Did you know that high pageviews on a site like DeviantArt mostly mean that the user is a whiny wanker, and not that they're any good?

I also find your compositions crowded and a chore to look at- you've got this hard, black lineart on the second one that's highly distracting because everything is mashed up to the same goddamn level. Apply some atmospheric perspective.

The first one has some wonky perspective where the army guy is stepping on the mime. And the whole composition is stiff because it's traditional landscape when you get down to it. It has a horizon line and stability, then add in mimes throwing slanted poses and it still looks stiff. Next time, tilt it and play with perspective.

Also, your fonts hurt me.

The third one looks flat- add some cool colors on the warm browns for shading, and warm on the cool. It'll stick out a lot more because complimentary colors do that.

I have to consider that you do market to Hustler, which is a stupid magazine in itself and you consider that, but do you do any work outside these comics? Please show it to me. I want to see if you're any more creative outside this realm.

Or you could, you know, take up my challenge.

I know a lot of people didn't like the site, but I loled at it (especially Zombie!Jesus).

Yes, I am absolutely certain that Mafiosa hates your comic simply because she wanted you to come allllllll the way to our forums so you could defend it and she could provoke you. And if this becomes the most posted in thread on the site, I will lol and, again, think fondly of Bobby Crosby.

Boy, this guy does have an ego on him, doesn't he?

Also, lrn2paragraphbreak. It'll make your posts about three times less annoying. This is real advice from me to you. Really.

Alright - this guy can't be Bobbykins; he's not nearly ego-wanky enough. Bobby would be crying about how we're all lying liars who lie at this point.


Re: the art.

The first one (Land Mimes) looks like you got a bit trigger-happy with the airbrush tool (or something that produces smilar results). Shading with black is usually a big no-no as well, as it washes out the colours. Also, the mimes look as if they're giving him the wave, not exploding - which I believe is the intention. Stiff poses, colours too blurred for my taste.

The second one - the fact that everything except the bit at the very front have the same lineweight kind of ruins it. Everything looks flat, and looks as if it's on the same depth-level. Regarding the composition - the horseshoe-throwing characters in the foreground; why not show the pole they're throwing at? At first, I thought they were just randomly waving to the audience. Tighten up the composition.

The third one - kind of messy composition, and Attack of the Airbrush again. Is the Chewy/Crunchy sign important to the joke? If not, spend less time on it and give more space to the important stuff - such as the gingerbread tank shooting the Cookie Monster in the background, or the exploding buildings. Farther away =/= more blurred.

Heres a recent NSFW comic I wont post it direct since some sites are picky about that kind of thing.

Here are a couple of peices I did for Paladium's rifts I have done over a 1000 interior peices for a whole host RPG companies. Also we have 6 people that turn out comics so the styles are sometimes radically different. We have also worked on Thor/The Maxx/Wonderwoman/ The Flash/ Dr. Fate/ Impulse and Hawkman (literally dozens of others as well). To say we have an art/writing pedigree would be to beat a dead horse. I would like to see your stuff. Also I always think its cute to hear a critique from a novice.
