Ok, well I just thought I would introduce myself... My friend told me about this site... and now I'm making stuff since I am extremely bored.

Yeah, they kinda suck...eh.

How do you get the comic number so you can post a comic in the thread?

Those were actually pretty good, especially the last one. I look forward to seeing more stuff from you.

Regarding the comic number, the URL of each comic you make (unless you're viewing your front page) will be of this form:

www.stripcreator.com/comics/AudaciousMoose/######

"######" is the number of the comic.

Alternately, if you just post the URL of the comic (you must include the "http://" or else you'll just get a link like the one above), that will be functionally equivalent to using [comic]######[/comic]

I just made a set of 5 with Cloud and Vincent from FFVII. Yep, I made 4 lame comics just to have Cloud get shot by Vincent...

I liked the Cloud & Vincent series except for the fifth one, which was awful.

I liked these as well:

[Click to view comic: 'Crazy teeth dealer']
[Click to view comic: 'Silly Tree Huggers']

The guy escaping on the horse really makes that second one. There is an actual White House background which you could have used in the middle panel.

The rest didn't do a lot for me, but I think you've got promise. Welcome to the site.

Why didn't you like the 5th strip with Cloud and Vincent?!

Here's a one I just did about Square Enix

Too much narration and not enough action. I know it's difficult when you're not drawing the art yourself, but as much as possible you should try to show us what happens rather than tell. Also, the punchline, while potentially funny, is kind of a let-down considering it's built up over three panels. Punchlines involving the sudden death of a character are best delivered quickly, IMO. And it doesn't make sense to me that they would suddenly not be in the video game world. What other world would Cloud and Vincent exist in?

There's something I don't get about the two-part strip you just posted. I think that the fourth panel doesn't fit with the others. It suggests that the kid isn't really such a die-hard fan. And if S-E themselves think the game is weak, then I don't understand the joke in having them execute their fans. They've got nothing to cover up, no revenge to exact, and why pile punishment on fans who've already received it? Still, I liked the actual punchline in the sixth panel.

(I haven't yet played any FFs since 9, so I'm not saying I agree or disagree with any of these opinions. People always hate new FF games and then come around in the end. I'll see for myself. When I get around to it.)

Well, nothing kills a joke like overanalyzing it, but hopefully you can see some of what I'm getting at with this. Put a little more thought into why your comic is funny and how you can get it across to the reader. You're off to a decent start, so don't give up.

Even though I like Final Fantasy considerably more than life itself, I'm not sure comics about it are such a good idea.

Also, shouldn't it be "Audacious Moose is in da hoose"?

FFX-2 was a total let down, that's why I said that. I was really disappointed with the game. The characters, plot, and worst of all, the dialogue. It was horrible. Die hard FF fans wouldn't even recognize this as a Square Enix game...it is just so terribly bad.

Most of the people who like FFX and its sequel haven't or won't play the ones previous to it.

And yes, I kind of figured out that that Cloud and Vincent thing was a bit of a mistake by the...uh...2nd panel or so? I was going to make it with Barret, but they didn't have any animations like that and a gatling gun doesn't go "bam".

We really need a character around here who can play Barret/Mr. T.

I'm still buying FFX and FFX-2 whenever I get around to getting a PS2. And the more I hear "fans" complain about them, the more determined I become to love them.

Andy has a point about FF comics being an idea with limited appeal. But I wouldn't let it stop me from writing one I liked.

I have to go with evil_d... Crazy teeth dealer is great... I would have never thought to use blacker or splitter to seperate the positions of characters, and for speech order no less, and I don't want to copy you now. The Vincent and Cloud thing was good until the last one... it's a bit too fanboytastic. Other than that, I keep my hopes high, because I love some of these.
