My only criticism is your over reliance on old jokes, and while they may work well in comic format, the fact is we've heard them all before, and many have been done before on here also. I know its early days, so just keep being creative and the funny will follow. I did like 191631

Cheers.

You must admit, though. The likeness is eerie. It's a good version of the Cowboy Physics, in any case.

Your comics are decent. I personally prefer non-sequential authors (people who don't really have a set storyline, and just make short series or single-strip comics).

Just be careful of old jokes, and go through the older comics. It would be a good idea to read through the regulars' comics, and see what the trends have been, then avoid them like the plague. Too many of us oldies have forgotten originality (including myself) and fall back on catchphrases (Ha ha! What the fuck are you talking about?) (RARR!!!) (All your ba- oh, wait, we're over that one). Have fun!

areallystupidguy November 19, 2003 8:51 PM	i haven't heard any of those jokes, but i just naturally assumed when i read them that they were old ones. this particular joke made me laugh for like 5 minutes: 191664 oh, and your concept for this series immediately brought me back to fond memories of one of my early strips: 170377

Oswald November 20, 2003 9:41 AM	Yeah, I must admit that I prefer the non-sequential stuff. Just random crap, hehe. Meanwhile, what's that advert you mentioned Jes? Can't say I've seen it before.

Oswald November 22, 2003 10:24 PM	Okay. Hope you all like the new stuff. I basically just put stuff in as it comes to me, but yeah, hopefully I'm progressing.
