perhaps you should have let it go right after you first had the idea, and before you clicked "save"...

(Okay, so it isn't funny either. I just had to post it for completeness.)

Or before.

In my opinion, you should have left it alone just before your father ejaculated.

Ooops, that was too mean, wasn't it?

Ackle. Is there nothing I do correctly?

I think what DexX really means is that you should avoid redundant narration. If we get the information from the dialogue or images, then we shouldn't also get it from the narration.

Anatomy of a bad comic: Redundant narration, empty punchline by evil_d 9-15-01

Jesus and Satan are talking. Hi, Satan. Hi, Jesus. Jesus wants to go to the ball game. Want to go to the ball game tonight? Sure. Jesus remembers he doesn't have any money so Satan has to pay for them both! I don't have any money! Dammit!

If you think that's an exaggeration, you obviously haven't been looking through the front page.

In The Search For Love, chicka, the narration in the first panel is absolutely necessary. And while the second-panel narration isn't, it does help to set up the third-panel narration, which, while also not strictly necessry, does help. So I wouldn't fret over it.

Another bad use of narration is when people pack it as tightly as they can with backstory and explanation. If your plot is too complex to survive without that, it's too complex for the Strip Creator. Or you should at least consider making a series out of it. I don't feel like making up an example for this type of bad comic. If I find one, I'll post it.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

When I first came to Strip Creator all my comics had narration for some reason. I just saw that you could put some and I always did. Then i realized it was unneccesary.
Fire Boobs still makes me chuckle and Incompetent Boobs is a classic.

The only thing I find more annoying than comics with too much narration is comics with narration that has absolutely nothing to do with the strip itself.

It's yellow. It's annoying. And it's not Pikachu. by BigEvilDan 2-05-01

This comic has a crazy looking scientist and a chicken in it. So I says to Mabel, I says... Wait, what is that? For some reason, they're standing on the moon. The moon comes out at night. What is what? That big yellow thing above us. The one with the words in it. Chicken is yummy. I like chicken. Oh, that. It appears this comic has a Rambling Narrator. I thought we sprayed for those already...

These "bad example" comics made me laugh more than most of your legitimate comics... no offense intended.

This is actually a conversation my parents had moments ago. There was nowhere else I could post it that it would work.

Here's another comic series I made awhile ago. It's loosely based on the true stories of a friend of mine.

The Hammer Lane #0 by crabby 7-25-01

Baby I love you your the only one for me. You know the only thing keeping me from you is this damn splitter. I've heard this before you always use that damn splitter as an excuse. Alright thats it I'm getting rid of it now. I hope your ready for daddy. Bring it on skinny. I want some of your hot man sausage!

The Hammer Lane #1 by crabby 7-25-01

That was amazing. That was tender and rough, it was like makeing love to a beautiful sex statue. I'm pregnant! Oh boy, I was just in it for the loving not for the long haul. I gotta think of a way outta this. Your gonna be a Daddy! What if it's not my kid. I don't know who else you've been sleeping with. Well it was either you or one of the four other people I've been with recently.

The Hammer Lane #2 by crabby 7-25-01

Well baby the rest of the guys are here. I feel like a pice of meat in your twisted game of love. Well it couldn't be me I'm Captain Impotence. It couldn't have been me everyone knows Wilfred Brimley hasn't been able to get it up in years. I hope it's me I've been looking for a nice gal to settle down with and start a family. Yeah thats the ticket, he's the father.

The Hammer Lane #3 by crabby 7-25-01

Well your not the father so you can get the hell out of here now. Oh what a tangled web you weave. I feel like a piece of meat in your twisted game. Well baby it looks like everythings gonna be all right. Yeah I've got a great job as a real estate agent and we can all move into my house today. Wow your perfect. I'm also a strictly religious member of the Monkees fan club.

I like the idea of the "ZAP!" thing impregnating someone. And I like the punchline to #3.

I like them all except #1 which was just there to set up the other 2.

It worries me that I've posted more to this thread than just about any other...

This strip is, incidentally, the very last one alphabetically on the whole site.

Does this help?
