First, the bad news:
"A comic for africans" <-- "Africans" should be capitalized.

The two black men talking has a typo in its title:
It should be "African" instead.

The title: "A comic for Ethiopians" Why this choice?
If sarcasm is what you want, why pick on a particular country, why not be more general with the title?

Next, the good news:

Enjoyed your dialogue, background, and characters in
the 1st one.

Ditto my remarks on the 2nd one.

Enjoyed the background and the characters in the 3rd one. As far as the dialogue, these characters are quirky! How could these brothers' parents have woken
them up in the first place if they weren't alive ALREADY? This dialogue makes them non-boring.

Enjoyed the characters and the background in the 4th one.

Liked the two choices of men in the 5th one.

First my bad news - I watch you while you sleep.

But seriously, I don't really care about capitalization. As long as it's understandable, I couldn't care less whether you forgot to hyphenate coupled adjectives or used the passive voice incorrectly.

I was annoyed at the Arfican one, and also the "grocery story" instead of "grocery store", but those were both due to my leaving the dammed auto-complete feature on which is a very bad idea for this site I quickly realized.

I think most people would get this. Maybe it's a generational thing. Click here and all your questions will be answered.

Oh, yah, that's the shit.

That's right, talk dirty to me.

Racist!

But honestly, thanks for reading them and putting some thought into a post. It's appreciated.

You know, the devil on my right shoulder is telling me I should make a comic called "A comic for mandingo." The first dialogue baloon would say something like "Remember that day we made comics and they were funny?" and it would go from there.

But the angel on my left shoulder says I snickered at at least the first few comics, before the series started getting a bit stale, and I should respect that and not do anything so snide.

And my wife says I have a bit of dandruff on my shoulders. Excuse me while I brush it off.

Hey, thanks for reading them. I'm glad you you liked some of them.

And don't worry about being snide to me - I'm thick skinned. I'm actually used to a more (good-natured) contentious type of humor, but I've tried that in a couple of posts here and people don't seem to respond. So I'm guessing either that's not the site's flavor, or you get so many cyber kiddies here you can't tell if I'm being serious since I'm new.

I hear angels and shoulder brushing, I think hit and run.

You missed the point. Being snide is not my job. It's a couple of the other regulars who are snide pricks, and who will roast you to smithereens if they feel like it. My job here is just to be funny. I usually shut up otherwise.

Well, sure, we have little to judge the new folks by other than their body of work and their forum personality. And most of them are cyber kiddies (but a few of those are funny anyway). There's no one pigeonhole for the regulars, but you'll figure that out and get to know them if you stay around long enough.

areallystupidguy June 12, 2005 9:02 PM	You hit a high mark with the paraplegic one. I had high hopes for future comics in the series, since it seemed it had evolved and changed into something truly neat, but it got the axe at the last minute. Rats. Oh well, at least it went out on a high note. It has been rated good.

There is something innately funny about replying to a comment about snideness with "You missed the point." If this was intended, your reputation with puns is well earned.

I didn't, though. I couldn't have known if you were taking a shot at those regulars, but I was saying that if you felt like doing a comic fitting the theme titled A comic for mandingo that started "Remember that day we made comics and they were funny?", good natured or not, you should have, because that's my type of contentious humor. True it wasn't your job to, but it wasn't your job not to either, and that's what forums are there for, so have at it.

I decided to try something different than the Remember that one time beginning and I liked it. That alone doesn't mean shit but the cock fact ass that motherfucker you assbandage...

Oops, sorry. I had the obscenity filter off. (I'd hate to corrupt the children of the world - those little f u c k e r s are our only hope.)

Like I was saying, the fact that I liked it didn't mean dick since I once actually convinced myself that Before pictures were hot owing to weight watchers ads being the only thing to masturbate to in my grandma's bathroom and the After pictures already being caked over from my last visit.

You are now Jesus Christ to me. The next time someone knocks on my door and asks me if I've found Jesus, I will tell them in no uncertain terms that yes I have and that he is areallystupidguy.

It did? Holy shit, why didn't anyone tell me? I guess it's my own fault for smoking weed with blues accordionists rather than dropping acid with post-production. (Borderline call.)

I'll continue the theme until I don't find it funny anymore. I'll do other stuff too, but no matter what the theme, or how normal I may seem in the forums, my comics will probably always make some people want to pass a law. That's just my sense of humor.

mandingo June 14, 2005 2:22 PM	I suppose I was a bit long winded, but you would think that would be allowed in your own thread. Anyway, it would have been alot less boring if you had sent in your UPCs and got the decoder ring.

If you were an attractive female of my species with no will of her own I would spend much time with you in hopes of having sexual relations with you but then I would remember that you had no will of your own and the tryst of the century would begin. I would then get annoyed with the no will thing, and tell you to go pursue a dream or something, thereby ridding myself of the fantasy of many a lesser(?) creature.

Guilt and regret would plague me for the rest of my days.

THE END

HCRoyall June 16, 2005 2:42 AM	It's like you've spawned some sort of bizarre series of sexual "what if" fantasies in members of this site. Now if you could only use that same power to exert control over people's minds, you could take over the world.

mandingo June 16, 2005 5:18 AM	No, thats way off. Don't pretend you have the ring because I'll know if you don't.

HCRoyall June 16, 2005 6:07 AM	I didn't get so much a decoder ring as a decoder string. Either I filled the form out wrong or I didn't send enough UPCs.
