...Them? Comix? Right now you have exactly one comic. One *bad* comic, at that. Kids these days... not even taught the difference between singular and plural.

Yes, it was unanimous.

Hey, if people want us to read their comics, I'll give my opinion.

umm, Drexle, i read your comics,. they aren't even a little bit funny. not one bit. so i wouldn't go around saying people have bad comics because yours aren't good either, and youve tried a hundred times.

The newbies are really gaining up on Drexle it must be because he's the only one who takes the time to tell them how bad they suck.
Why tell people to read your comics then get mad when they say bad things about them. Your kinda asking for it to happen.

I suppose not. I like how he uses no punctuation it makes him look very intelligent. He was smart to pull this crap in here and not in the real boards. Everyone would dig into him worse than deisel.
Whenever a newbie pops up with this kind of attitude I just always assume that it's deisel now.

You claim Drexle has no life yet you spend your time makeing comics about other peoples lives. Don't even get me started on the bad grammar and punctuation started in your comics either.
Oh, and about your friends one comic. If it was bad and he knew it was bad why ask people to read them. Your friends dumb for makeing one comic and then telling eveyone to go read it.

I'm going to put all joking aside here and tell you to chill. Right now. If anyone comes on here and asks for an opinion of their comics, they'd better be prepared to hear an honest answer. It's that simple. What I'm having a hard time grasping is that you seem to want to pick a fight with me just because I don't like you and your friend's comics. Is it that important to you guys, really?

Oh yeah, that one you posted was pretty cool just now.

Now, back to the spirit of being a smartass: You don't like my comics? Too bad, I guess someone who makes as many bad comics as you shouldn't be expected to have a sense of humor.

Newbies: If you're only interested in positive feedback, don't post here. Go show your comics to your mom. If you post here, expect an honest opinion. It might be good and it might be bad, more likely it'll be a little of each.

Regulars: Let's try some constructive criticism. For example:

Shneil, I think your comic "fat alberts theory" falls flat. For one thing, it would read a lot more easily if you used proper capitalization and punctuation. For another, there doesn't appear to be any reason for the background to keep changing. Keep in mind, pointless randomness isn't funny -- never has been. Any of those backgrounds would have been fine for that comic; just pick one and stay with it. Most importantly, I don't see the wit in your punchline -- it too seems random; random violence as a punchline in response to random violence as a premise. You might try to improve it by, among other options, (a) making the retribution somehow poetic/appropriate, (b) explaining why a bear trap as opposed to anything else, or (c) having stick-man give an extra "surprise" punchline in the third panel, perhaps alluding to some humorous incident in Helmut's past involving a bear trap.

Joshw, most of your comics just don't work for me. They often lack a punchline or an intelligible sequence of events. "Coppers" made me smile. I think it could also benefit from the "surprise punchline" technique. The second stick-man in panel three might have made any of a number of quips. "Donuts?" "Well, guess it's chicken for dinner again tonight." "He takes playing 'Tag' a little too seriously." Try fleshing out your story.

All: Whether you like or dislike a person's comics, posts, hairstyle, whatever, let's try to stay away from personal attacks. We're all just here to have fun.

Unfortunately, there's no way to do so currently, and may never be. We're all living with a few mistakes in our portfolios. People will often rewrite a bad strip and append something like "revised" or "corrected" to the title.

I'll try evil_d's route and offer my two cents worth. Shneil doesn't have too many comics, and as mentioned earlier, most of them really don't do much for me with the exception of the 'fat albert theory', which had a glimmer of hope but didn't really get carried off too well.

I started wading through Josh's and came across a few that were kind of funny, a couple of which are here and here.

And this is an all-around bit of criticism for everyone who makes comics. I can't speak for everyone else, but punctuation and spelling make a difference to me. I'm not perfect, and like everyone else I make mistakes every once in a while. But I try hard not too, because in my mind, it helps the readability of your comics big time. I couldn't even get all the way through Josh's because it annoyed me to the point of making me want to stop. If you don't capitalize things because you think it makes some sort of artistic point, fine. But be realistic; most of you do it because you're lazy. And spelling...

Tell me honestly, when you type something like suvinear, do you actually think that's the right way to spell it, or are you too lazy to look it up? If that's the case, try bookmarking this. I check this a couple of dozen times a day because I think I might be spelling something wrong. And maybe no one would care if I did, but it bothers me. And yes, Dexx will make fun of you for using an inferior dictionary, but c'est la vie.

So that's what I think. Take it with a grain of salt. Hope it helps.

I do the same. Well, maybe not a couple of dozen times a day, but that probably just means I'm a better speller than Gabe.

Try CleverKeys. It's a free program that runs in the background and lets you automatically look up words at dictionary.com by highlighting them and pressing Ctrl+L. It just doesn't get any easier than that. I have it installed both at home and at work. It's got a few bugs, but if it annoys you, you can always disable it. I'm not getting paid by the company or anything -- seeing people spell words correctly would be payment enough.

That sounds like the creedo of a really wussy superhero.

I'm actually check the dictionary so often because I'm paranoid of spelling things incorrectly, not because of a lack of spelling ability. I'm usually correct, but what's the hurt in double checking? I do the same thing with some definitions. You know how you pull a word out of your head and you're pretty sure you know the correct context in which to use it, but you want to make sure before making yourself look like a gimp?

As for your actual strips, kudos for trying to stick to a theme and make an ongoing strip. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Yout "death waits for no man" one is pretty funny. :)
