King Arthur Asks Merlin For Help by Jeanster 1-31-04

King Arthur, what can I do for you? Merlin, I need you to make me younger so that Guinevere won't stray from me. I suspect Sir Lancelot might try to steal her from me. I have just the spell. Alakazam! Oopsie-doodle! My bad. Goo-goo?

Gabe and the Hungry Squirrel by Jeanster 1-31-04

Gabe arrived at the park and found a bench on which to sit. Finally. Some peace and quiet. I need to be alone with my thoughts. That was a good idea to come here to get away from my noisy family back at home. Uh-oh. Hey, dude. Got any nuts? I am so screwed. Hand over some nuts or I go for the ones in your crotch area!

Little Green Guys, or Mulder Was Right by Jeanster 1-31-04

The scene takes place aboard an alien spacecraft leaving Earth Well, we did it. We certainly did. Our friends and family can tune in and see us. Yes! On The X-Files! These nifty souvenir ray-guns they gave us are neato! Yeah. Way better than wearing something that says, "I appeared on The X-Files, and all I got out of it was this stupid t-shirt"

Mike and Ted by jeanster 1-31-04

Meet Mike and Ned. These two cowboys find themselves in a bad situation. Our horses were stolen. Along with our food and water. Yep, a pretty bad situation. We're stuck out here in the desert. Miles away from home. But they might as well enjoy their time away from any prying eyes. What do you want to do until we're rescued? Wanna screw?

Amy and Lena by Jeanster 1-31-04

Meet Amy Chan and Lena Moy Hi. I'm Amy. And I'm Lena. Mom is letting me have Lena over for a sleepover. Yeah, a sleepover. Mom thinks I'm such a good girl because I won't let any boys date me or kiss me. I wonder what Amy's mom would think if she knew Amy and I are two dykes in love!

DUDE, these are funny for a n00b! I love the subtle humor. Awesome!

i like 'em, too, especially the alien one. but (to add some constructive criticism so you don't get away with nothing but strangers' lips suctioning your nether regions) the timing's still off. so, if you want to work on improving the humor, work on the timing. (of course, it's much easier to be a critic than a comic.)

---
i want to piss on you

Thank you kindly for the comments, folks.

Regarding "timing", I'm not sure what you mean by that. Could you please give me a few links to comic strips that show this type of timing in the humor so I can understand what you mean? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Way better than my early comics. Nice.

---
I will rate you hard, and unendingly.

Thanks. I just finished enjoying the one you did on the Home Shopping Commercial Physics. Then I clicked on the dropdown menu and saw the list of others you did. Wow. I don't know if I'll ever be able to come up with enough ideas to write as many strips as you have, but we'll see what happens a few months from now.

for timing, see nicejohnson's passionate penguin:

Yep. That Passionate Penguin one is damn good. I'd rate it 5 stars out of 5.

the aliens and the gay cowboys exhibit the best timing because the last frame wasn't as predictable (although always viable) prior to its viewing. however, the merlin one had the baby as a likely answer to the joke from the start (the timing's off because the joke's punchline is answered early), and the lesbians one was set up too obviously in the second frame (the joke's punchline was answered in the second frame: timing's off). i hope that clarifies what i mean by "timing."

anyway, like i said, though, your comics are good. i'm just offering something constructive. keep up the good work.

---
i want to piss on you

Thats what your dropdown list will prolly look like in 4 months! After all, you are a better n00b than I!

You have to understand as well there's more dog poo than gold in my comics...especially the earlier ones.

You'll prolly make more gold if you take advice from a lot of the oldbies and read lotz of comics of others to get the feel of the site better. I stayed isolated for about 2 months on this site. That in combination with my own lack of writing skills (I mean writing plots) lead to so much bloodshed and doggie poo.

I will rate you hard, and unendingly.

I did one more:

Maura and Pete by Jeanster 1-31-04

Maura and Pete are arguing about her eating habits. I am NOT anorexic! I just want to lose a few more pounds in order to reach my goal. All you had for lunch today was a radish. And you only ate half of that. You just don't understand. Hey, do you hear something? Don't try to change the subject. How NOT to lose weight.

Now I shall call it a night and turn in. Good night, folks. I'll check back here tomorrow to see what other entertaining comic strips you can create.

I thought it would be fun to do a series, so here's Part 1:

Geek Boy Seeks Love, Part 1 by Jeanster 2-01-04

Geek Boy has accepted Dr. Mad Scientist's offer to help him get a girlfriend by being a guinea pig in the Doc's latest invention. Dr. Mad Scientist, are you sure this invention of yours will make me attractive to girls? Yes, Geek Boy. Now get inside the machine. There. Now come on out and let's take a look at you. Uh, Doc? I don't think this is going to help me attract girls. Hey, don't blame me, Geek Boy. You're the one who specified, "Sense of Humor" on the form you filled out.

---

The story of Geek Boy seeking love continues:

Geek Boy Seeks Love, Part 2 by Jeanster 2-01-04

Geek Boy regrest his decision to have Dr. Mad Scientist help make him attractive to girls. Doc, change me back! I can't attract girls when I look this! Sheesh! All right, already. Stop your whining. Get back inside the machine. There. Come on out, you whiner. Geek Boy is relieved to be back to his normal self. Whew! Thanks, Doc. I think I'll work on improving my appearance without your help. But thanks for trying. Are you sure? We could try once more. Just be sure to fill out the form carefully. What do you say?

---

Geek Boy Seeks Love, Part 3 by Jeanster 2-01-04

Geek Boy ponders whether or not to let Dr. Mad Scientist try again to make him attractive to girls. Gee, Doc, it's nice of you to offer, but I dunno. . . Fine! Go! Leave! You ungrateful whining loser geek! Why don't you just read some makeover articles in GQ? Geek Boy figures he might kick himself for this later, but he agrees to let the Doc try again. Well, uh, okay. I'll fill out another form. That's the spirit! Later. . . AARRGGHH! You made me look just like you! Wonderful, isn't it? You indicated clearly on the form that you want to look like a handsome, manly hunk. Happy now?

Geek Boy Seeks Love, Part 4 by Jeanster 2-01-04

Geek Boy is horrified now that he looks exactly like Dr. Mad Scientist. CHANGE ME BACK! CHANGE ME BACK! CHANGE ME BACK! CHANGE ME BACK! Sheesh! Make up your mind! All right, already! Quit it with your whining! Geek Boy jumps back into the machine and the Doc presses the button. Seems a shame, though. There isn't enough beauty in this world. You could have stayed looking as gorgeous as I am. Geek Boy is changed back to his normal self. Whew! Thanks, Doc. I'm out of here. I'll make myself attractive without anymore of your help, thank you very much. Fine! Leave! Get out of my lab, you loser virgin geek boy! Good luck! You're going to need it! May I suggest you make it easier on yourself and just go buy a blow-up doll?

Geek Boy Seeks Love, Part 5 by Jeanster 2-01-04

Debbie is asking Geek Boy something, but he finds it difficult to pay attention to what she's saying. Gee, Debbie sure is a babe! I'd love to hold her close to me and . . . Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah? Huh? You're picturing me without my clothes on, aren't you? And I'll bet you haven't heard a word I've said during the past five minutes! How do girls know these things? Honestly! Never mind. I'll go ask someone else to tutuor me in First Aid CPR. Hey, Brad! Yoo-hoo! Got a minute?

Geek Boy Seeks Love, Part 6 by Jeanster 2-01-04

I sure hope that cute super hottie Geek Boy asks me to the school dance. Oh, no. I'm hoping Geek Boy will ask ME to the school dance. Geek Boy is MINE! Don't you ever forget it! I, Valkyrie Girl, be neweth in these Halls of Learning, but I pray to the Gods of Asgard that Geek Boy will asketh ME to the school dance! Geek Boy writes an entry in his Livejournal, and his buddy submits a comment. And then I woke up. Some dream, huh? Man! School babes fighting over you? And a hot Valkyrie chick? We should be so lucky to get a transfer student like that!

Geek Boy Seeks Love, Part 7 by Jeanster 2-01-04

Geek Boy decides to ask out the town Vampire Slayer. Uh, Holly? Would you like to go to the school dance with me? Sorry, Geek Boy. Between slaying vampires and other demons and keeping up with schoolwork, I don't have time for a social life. Uh, okay. Sorry I bothered you. You didn't bother me, Geek Boy. It's also that you're not an immortal. I like my men to be hot vampires with a soul. Maybe if I'm lucky, my evil vampire twin Doppelganger will come to town and give me a cool reputation as a hottie.

That seemed unnessecary.

Geek Boy Seeks Love, Part 8 by Jeanster 2-01-04

Geek Boy has a visitor. Astronaut Boy! What brings you here? I heard you could use some advice about attracting girls, Geek Boy. I'm here to help you before I take off into space again. They go to Geek Boy's room to talk. Sure, being a famous astronaut helps me get girls, but what really matters is the man inside the suit, not just the suit. Why haven't I ever noticed before how cute Astronaut Boy is? Geek Boy? Were you just picturing me without my clothes on? Argh! Busted!

Geek Boy Seeks Love, Part 9 by Jeanster 2-01-04

Astronaut Boy puts Geek Boy at ease. Even if you were picturing me without my clothes on, there's no need to feel ashamed or embarrassed, Geek Boy. There isn't? Not that I was picturing you that way, mind you. Of course not. Gah! I'm doing it again! Geek Boy is surprised by his new feelings for Astronaut Boy. Let's talk about this after I get back from my trip into space, okay? Come back soon, Astronaut Boy! There's so much I want to do with you now!

---
A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!"

Um dude....Where do I start? This is kind of like the movie Darkness Falls...Great ideas and plot but the acting and special effects screwed it up. Basically: Good idea for a series, good plot, bad punchlines. Work on that. There's no funny, really, but potential funniness. It's like you're holding back or something.

---
You know you totally missed me!

Thank you kindly, nicejohnson. Actually, since "Geek Boy Seeks Love" is becoming one of those "soap opera type" comic strips (like Rex Morgan, M.D., for example) as Geek Boy discovers his sexual orientation, there won't always be funny punchlines throughout the strips.

Good thing I don't plan to quit my day job, huh?

Gee, this is such a fun site! I've spent most of my day here on it, while hubby is away at a Super Bowl party.

Cheers!

Geek Boy Seeks Love, Part 10 by Jeanster 2-01-04

Astronaut Boy and Astronaut Monkey are on a mission to explore the surface of the moon. Well, Astronaut Monkey, here we are on the moon. Just you and I. Frickin' dull barren ugly moon surface. Eep! Not one frickin' banana in sight anywhere. Do I subconsciously want to be here with Geek Boy instead of Astronaut Monkey? Hey, what do you know? My Gay-dar just picked up a signal. Well, I won't have to worry about Astronaut Boy wanting to shag outside his species. My ass is safe.
