Modern Men's Support Group by PennyDreadful 8-06-10

It was then I realized that maybe I dress this way to keep everyone else at distance. Right, because of the way your Dad withheld love from you. But at least your Dad was around occasionally. I don't know if I pillage because I enjoy it, or because it's expected of me. The only way this strip could be gayer, is if Heath Ledger came back from the dead and cornholed me in my ass-less chaps.

I don't think there's anything against newbies posting their comics in this way.

Mediocrity at its most average.

And while I'm all over your thread, I read the most recent comics. I rated Adventures in Craigslist okay because, while it was a good set up and execution, it was a little too predictable.

I rated this one good:

Trying to start a post Patriot Act bank account by PennyDreadful 8-04-10

Okay Penny, we'll just need one other form of I.D. to activate your account. But I gave you my birth certificate, social security card and driver's license. Yes but anyone sneaking into the country can easily have those documents faked. Okay, so what do you need? We need either a gym membership card or a Sam's Club I.D. So...terrorists can fake a birth certificate, but their weakness is in recreating a Bally's I.D.?

Okay. Thanks. That one and a few of the others actually happened...this one didn't though.

Death Metal Name Game by PennyDreadful 8-07-10

You know that stupid game, where you take your first pet's name and the first street you lived on, and that's your porn name? Yeah, I'm Scooter Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. I came up with a new version where you take your favorite food and the worst decision you've ever made, and that's the name of your death metal band. Mine is "Heroin Sushi". How about you? "Date Rape Tacos".

---
Shhhh...I know.

I definitely like that you're now making jokes about situations instead of using the clip art for inspiration (although the one where you're trying to get your S.O. to pick an avatar was amusing, and a great example of how to break the rules for comedic purposes).  Definitely a lot of "good" ratings from me on this go-round.

"He was cursed with a horrorshow of a face, like Guiseppe Archbold doing a study of mollusk tumors."

Thanks Zilla--I appreciate all the positive feedback.

Sincerely,

Shhhh...I know.

"Death Metal Name Game" is so funny that it made me laugh.  Not a deep, cleansing laugh, but the superficial, narcissistic kind of laugh that I usually bark at commoners.

---
Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

For some reason, I can't paste the comic links here--and I see no quote button. But I have a couple of new ones if anyone would care to take a look.

Shhhh...I know.

My favorite of the lot:

Make a wish... by PennyDreadful 8-09-10

So, I guess you know it's my birthday tomorrow. Of course, Mom. I think here is when I'm supposed to say that all I want is a hand-made card and a necklace made out of pipe cleaners... but now that you're thirteen I think it's time you know the truth. I was in labor with you for 26 hours...and it hurt. So seriously, what are you getting me? The gift of friendship?

I'm really digging the "use a splitter in the middle" technique, I may have to steal that and claim you learned it from me.

"He was cursed with a horrorshow of a face, like Guiseppe Archbold doing a study of mollusk tumors."

Please use it with my compliments. They say that imitation crab is the sincerest form of fattery. It's really just my cheating way of being too wordy.

Shhhh...I know.

Muerto and Matt by PennyDreadful 8-12-10

I've had it with our co-dependant--abusive relationship, Matt!Did you ever think that maybe I'D like some roses once in awhile?! I honestly can't even remember the last time you let me gore you. Would it help if I let you gore me really hard tonight, Muerto? Full D.P.?

Thoughts, opinions-- brutally honest soul killing beat downs that leave me tucked in the fetal position clutching my Teddy Ruxpin.

---
Shhhh...I know.

Date Rape Tacos is the best punchline I've seen in a while.  You officially get a thumbs-up from me for that one.  As a bonus, I award you one internets.

It was such a waste of everyone’s time and money that even the Tokyo stadium’s rape robots apologized– something they were programmed specifically never to do.

Thank you, sir. You are a gentlemen and a scholar. May all of your children, be masculine children.

Mrs. Picklesby goes to the Patent Office by PennyDreadful 8-13-10

Well, Mrs.Picklesby, patent right law is fairly straight forward. Tell me about your product. It's one of those advanced home pregnancy tests. Hmmmm..there's a growing market for faster responding and more accurate pregnancy tests. It's not any faster or more accurate...it's just a clearer result message. What does it say? It reads "whore" if she's pregnant--and "lucky whore" if she's not.

---
Shhhh...I know.

I rated that one "good."  I would've rated it "funny" but for some reason there isn't a button for that.

Some men can't find a woman's "funny button" with a road map and a handful of boyscouts. Speaking of a handful of boyscouts, I am no longer welcome at any future jamborees.

Shhhh...I know.

Well, if the guy gets lost down there, she could always just, like, point to it.  "DUHHH."

Sounds like you know a lot about guiding a man with subtleness and sensitivity towards your most sensitive core. I guess that's why you put the BI in Biped.

---
Shhhh...I know.

How many tenths of a cent do I have to donate before I to get to wield this God-like power over my fellow "nubtards", Zilla?

(I like your Nublet's First Forum comic, by the by--I'm flattered that I made a blip on a Super Donor's radar).

Those are funny, Z. Sorry---I misspelled, Noobtard.

 Hmmm...I read the FAQ, there's still so much that I don't undertand, though.

Is it normal for me to feel a deep abiding shame that I have the audacity to be new to this site? I've taken dozens of showers, holding myself and rocking back in forth...but I just can't wash off that "new stripper" smell.

So, aside from handi-wiping the pole between dances...any advice from you old strippers?

---
Shhhh...I know.

You have a leg up being female. "Funny girls" are supposedly non existant.

The FAQ seems pretty straight forward. What part is confusing? And you're already doing most of what you need to do: making comics and interacting with other users.

---
Mediocrity at its most average.

I think the best advice is to take the hazing in stride, work to continue to get better at your craft and make yourself a fixture amongst the community until you've been accepted. Everyone was new at one point or another. It's best not to be overly sensitive about being new because then people definitely won't stop. 

Hey, just have fun and enjoy yourself!
