To get COMMENTS on his freaking comics?
What is it now... my wordy style is too much to read in one sitting?
My informative-and-comical approach is too much of a one-two punch to handle on a regular basis?
My anti-insignificance (and therefore always striving to be meaningful) style does not... please?
My jokes go simply by you...?
You sense, somehow, judging from my vocabulary on display, that I am not from thy generation... crowd... or whatever?!?

Hmm...

Whatever it is, it simply boggles the mind that I have been here and done over 300 comics... and NOT A VOTE... NOT A COMMENT... is to be found on my "info".

While Countess, my girl, did 4 OF THEM - FOUR - and she got a flurry of comments (even advice) and a vote turnout...

Of course, I do not NEED the comments... and now, I expect that if I get it, it will be truly virulent... however, I had it in me and it had to come out!

Ostracism HERE is really... silly!

We are not allowed to comment on your comics. It is a large conspiracy.

C'mon now. You know what you have to do, so get to it.

Seriously though, you need to post more on the forums. According to your info, you have made exactly 6 posts on the forums, 3 in this thread alone. That is why you had no comments or votes on your work, because no one knows who you are.

Hmm?

Comments are allowed on my strips... come on!

That rating though is not reflective AT ALL of the merit of said strips...

And note what I said...
the merit of said strips...
it is about them and them alone... not about me!
Tell that your pal crabby too - he was to rate the work and not voice his uneducated opinion about someone he does not know indeed.

I have done forums - I am sick and tired of forums
Message boards are time-consuming... time I can use more... productively!

I found that one to be absolutely hilarious and rated you good on the merits of this strip alone. You shouldn't whine for people to comment and then whine when people have nothing nice to say. I didn't find your comics funny. You wanted a comment, there it is. They were not funny to me as an individual. Maybe someone else will find them amusing, I however, did not. So be happy you got the comments, thats what you were looking for anyway.

Here's a secret for ya, crabby...

That one was not supposed to be funny.

Look up the word "commemorative"

Not knee-slapper... try low-key satire... it made Bob Newhart a fortune...

Sheesh, Crabby... you call for labeling... you judge 300+ comics based upon an erroneous impression of ONE SINGLE STRIP...

My conclusion is: you will NEVER be on the American Idol panel.

Stripcreations -note the terminology, I didn't say "comics"- can be much more than toilet humor...

"Comic-BOOKS" got that misnomer because they were strictly funny animals at first...

Ask Frank Miller if that's all they are good for... hmm?

I agree, I will NEVER be on the American Idol panel.

I'll go through and review them each individually later tonight.

After reading your profile I feel like I have a better understanding of what you're trying to do. I really respect it, these stripcreations don't all have to be dick and fart jokes. You're really trying to expand the readers horizons. I feel like if you actually went through and read through my strips, as I have read through yours, you would find that we actually have alot more in common than you think.

Here are a few in particular:
[Click to view comic: 'CIVIL WAR IN HELL']
[Click to view comic: 'SERPENT SOCIETY']
[Click to view comic: 'BLIZZARD OF OZ']
[Click to view comic: 'JUDGE']
[Click to view comic: 'Manhattan Tear Drops']

Is this one Commemorative, funny or one of these things like Ziggy where fat chicks put it on the wall in their office cube and you are supposed to ignore it?

Ah... no.

I branch out.

This is an example of dark humour / satire with bite... and also my favored weapon - sarcasm!

I can't believe the rating system here... I am clearly 3 or 4 star material... yet Countess with four very sub-par strips (by her own admission) has a better score than me?

Note -again, I need to ask for scrutiny and a discerning eye- that I am underlining injustice and not merely "whining"... and it is about the RATING SYSTEM... not any so-called comments...

I don't NEED to explain each strip - it is obvious when they are humorous and when they are not... and different styles and approaches should be recognized as well!

Also, IMHO, posting the strips here is repetitious... and maybe a waste of bandwidth too, when a link would do just fine.

The ratings are nothing more than a popularity contest. They have no bearing on your actual skill.

You need to advertise, because unless you post your comics for the stripcreator world to see, how else will anyone know about your comics to rate you? I hope you're not relying on the 20 latest comics by non-donors list on the front page to get you noticed, because the turnover is so great. Unless you make comics in the middle of the night, expect your stuff to get bumped off the front page within an hour or two.

Also, you might want to lose that chip on your shoulder if you wish to endear yourself to the rest of us here, because that [u]will[/u] affect your rating, like it or not.

Now, on to your comics...

You've got a few good ones, but I found a lot of them to be way too wordy and without actual punchlines. In fact, a few that I read looked like they would've been better served as blog posts...not exactly conducive to comic creation. Personally, I don't like having to read through an over the top monologue/rant without some kind of payoff at the end. I really didn't care for the excessive usage of exclamation points either, it makes the comics look like they were made by Ann Coulter. Also, lose the narration unless it is absolutely critical to the comic. Overall, you certainly have potential.

Yes - I do usually make them in the middle of the night

And

No - I am not a politician... I am not into popularity contests... couldn't care less what people think of me... hence the nod to sarcasm as my favored weapon... I was expecting fair judging, especially of my 200 most recent strips... I guess I got that now...

Arrivederci!

Then why does this thread even exist?

Sorry to say, but fair judging went right out the window with your snarky attitude in your original post. I really hope you weren't expecting anyone to bow at your feet after an opening salvo like that. You could've just posted a few comics and asked us to take a look at them.

Gee... judge the strips judge not the stripper (?!?)

If you focus too much on ME - then you might see the old sayings about boomerang effects and "judge not lest ye be judged also" come to pass... and it won't be me doing that either! It will be who you least expect...

My opening salvo was merited (unlike the rating I got) - over 300 comics and NADA... gee, at this rate I would have done 900 and I would not have gotten a single comment...?

Last post...

One of clarification...

Countess got ratings and comments... from 5 peeps.
Frankly, are these 5 just not curious enough to simply CLICK on the ONLY stripcreator that Countess lists in her "Favorites" category...?
Guess who it is... ME.

I truly didn't NEED to ask for the "honor" to be dignified with ratings & comments... enquiring minds should have been able to "discover" me - through Countess! See who INSPIRES Countess!

And, in closing, IMHO thy ratings system being a "popularity vote" instead of a quality vote for the stripcreations themselves... well, that's just not the way it should be! Just my opinion...
