Ok, so I'm new and don't really know what I want to do yet, but this site seems awesome and hopefully, when I understand everything, I'll be able to make funnier comics. Feel free to critique this (it being my only comic) for now. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

"Thanks.

Hahahahaha.

I'd recommend not changing a character into a different character for the purpose of giving them a different expression; it confused me.

Yeah, I was a bit worried that the change would be confusing. I was hoping the characters looked similar enough that the change wouldn't be too noticeable or jarring. I'll keep that in mind in the future.

"This is totally the blind leading the blind here. "

Isn't that comment a bit uncalled for? I'd rather have positive criticism than be made fun of. Perhaps you could tell me WHY you don't like the comment, rather than insult me.

"Comic,"...not "comment."

Just wondering, do you get the joke? I don't mean that to be insulting...but I'm wondering if the reference is a bit too obscure.

February 14, 2004 10:40 PM

Sorry if that's insulting. I have nothing against people being religious, but I have admittedly come to the point that I've become insensitive about it cause there are so many extremists that bother me.

It's gotten to the point that I don't hold back as often as I should in making fun of ANY religion (I was born and raised Christian...but I just can't believe it anymore for various reasons).

I'm doing a set of comics now about the Mel Gibson movie "The Passion of the Christ" which may be insulting (though not as bad as the one above, I don't think). I won't post them here, since I understand why it would bother you.

Sorry if I insulted you.

Post #124162link

SmeeMak
February 14, 2004 10:44 PM

Oh...and the "Passion of The Christ" comics are making fun of the movie and the commotion about it...not Christianity.

I don't know if that justifies them, but I really feel like I can make some funny ones...so I really want to do it. But like I said...I won't post them here.

If you want to read them, you can of course...and feel free to tell me if they're still too insulting. I'd appreciate the feedback.

I really don't mean to piss anybody off. Sorry.

February 15, 2004 6:07 PM

Yeah, it was insulting. Your comic was inhibiting to a new addition of Christianity. I'm no fanatic, but I'll have to say that you've hurt my feelings to where I have nothing else to say to you, except that I'll pray for you.

Post #124233link

SmeeMak
February 15, 2004 6:36 PM

Well, just because something is a new addition to christianity, doesn't mean it should be free from reproach. That's ridiculous.

The movie was created by a very fundamentalist, right wing (supposedly anti-semitic, though I don't know that for sure) Christian group and for months has only been shown to specific church groups and high end religious figures around the world. Because I find that activity both odd and just a LITTLE elitist, I can't say I agree with the situation behind the creation of the movie...or the goals of that movie from this point on.

I do agree that my third comic was overly insulting and for that, I apologize. If I could delete it, I would...but I feel I should defend my decision to make the fourth comic and criticize the movie. That's why I'm explaining.

I hope you don't cut off all contact with me simply because of an insulting comic, as you've been one of the few people nice enough to give me feedback...and I greatly appreciate that.

I find the commotion behind it very funny.

I'm not trying to attack you, SmeeMak, but I think that showing it for months to "specific church groups" and "high end religious figures" is similar to showing ANY movie to "high profile" movie critics before it gets released. They (like any other movie makers) are just trying to get good publicity for the movie.

As for me, I am looking forward to seeing it. Just like with any movie, I'm not gonna try to judge it or its creators till I take a looksie for myself.

Again, this is no attack on you, SmeeMak.

SmeeMak
February 15, 2004 8:17 PM

I suppose you're right noonie. I do doubt the motivations behind the movie, but I suppose I can't truly judge it before seeing it...but I still feel like making some comics about it, nonetheless ^_^

Graykane, I'm a girl, not a "dude." And SmeeMak told me to read them if I wanted to and to tell him if they got too insulting. Excuse me for following directions. And he PMed me so that we could continue our discussion in private to protect the both of us from being flamed. It's all good now. If you're going to call someone a freak, don't intend it to be hurtful because that is my social class at school. =)

And, if you're going to tell someone that you will pray for them, don't cuss and let your feelings fly at them. I have nothing against you or SmeeMak and I'm glad that both of you can stand up and speak your opinion, no matter what side you're on. Just try to think with a more open mind next time.

this is what i was responding to. without my knowing about the pming, it seemed ludicrous to me that you would look up what you had been warned about and then have the nerve to write such a response.

February 18, 2004 2:32 PM

In my defense, as a newbie, I was just posting my comics to get feedback. I never intended to start a fight, so the thread doesn't really belong on "Fights Go Here."

And I do believe that all topics are fair game in comedy...I have no shame when it comes to that. I will insult MANY things quite easily. I just decided that it's better to stop posting insulting things on these boards cause I DO realize that people can be sensitive about many things and it's not fair to them to have insults flaunted in their face.

Maybe you all should take this spat to this thread.

Btw, I don't see any problem with comics mocking religion. It's not like the comicmakers are out molesting altar boys or begging for a million dollars on TV or God will strike them down.

Sorry...I'm just a little bit cynical about religion.

Post #124708link

SmeeMak
February 18, 2004 9:30 PM

Haha...don't you know it "Interlocking-Man" ^_~

And I wouldn't say it is "conformist" to make fun of religion. It takes just as much backbone to vocalize your disapproval of something when you know it could get you in trouble.

I mean, think of how many "systems" have been fought against throughout history that were considered FINE at the time, but, in retrospect, seem terrible. I don't mean to compare Christianity to things like Nazi Germany, agricultural fundamentalism in Japan, or Soviet Russia (to name a few), but I'm saying that it's difficult to criticize something that is so widely accepted.

The REASON I apologized for my comic is because it wasn't educated criticism, so much as it was outright bashing/insulting. If I had intelligently criticized an aspect of Christianity I disagreed with (there are many) through a comic, I would not have apologized for it. Remember that Galileo was nearly executed for fighting the church's view that the sun revolved around the earth? Think of how LUDICROUS that concept seems to us now. However, if it hadn't been for people like Galileo and Copernicus who were willing to go against common thought, would we still believe it?

Of course, I don't mean to compare myself to Galileo and Copernicus either...but you get the point ^_~

February 19, 2004 8:19 AM

The point was, you criticized me for criticizing you in a negative way, ie: non-constructively.

Then you made a non-constructive comment (comic, comment, either one is in context here) yourself. A criticism of the highly negative kind. THAT, dear SmeeMak, is the crux of it.
