The first one hurts my brain and I don't get the second one. Keep trying.

Oh, you nailed what I was trying to do in each one!

How about this one?

[Click to view comic: 'Guitar Player Comics']

The first makes me want to get in a heated argument about quantum theory, the second = kinda lame, the third one is absurdist enough to almost be funny (I think it would have been better with no alien-speak).

The fourth one is equally created(and not yet posted) and not created until I click on your username. BULLSHIT HUMAN EGOTISM

Well thanks for the thoughtful comments, Rev.

#1 might make sense, but I don't see how quantum superposition follows from the Schrodinger's cat thought experiment. I don't think it does. Then again, four years have elapsed since my cursory overview of quantum theory. It's also not funny.

#2 only makes some sort of sense because I've read portions of Hofstadter's 'Godel, Escher, Bach.' And...it's still not funny.

#3...as with #1 and #2, only it makes even fewer pretensions of intelligence.

Look at it this way: at least you can spell and take criticism. Which puts you ahead of most new strippers. :)

Thanks for your comments. I'm just humbly trying to raise the bar around here.

But trust me - most of the Schrodinger's cat dialog is ripped off a web site that explains quatum indeterminacy . Complain to them, if you can't dig it. Or, see if you can't channel Schodinger and give him a whine.

It's not my fault if you are so religeosly parochial that you don't know a great Zen joke when it bites you on the ass (Sit, Ruffie! Don't bitet!).

I don't get your critique of Guitar Player - unlike Schrodinger, it has no intellectual content and is not "difficult," and like Zen Comics, it has has nothing to do with Goedel Escher and Bach. Maybe you need to look at again.

I'm sorry to give your review such a bad review. Keeping working, though - you might achieve a breakthrough!

Thanks for your comments, Biped. You have your gait in common with the Ostrich.

I swear, I say this very thing to some unsuspecting fool NEARLY EACH DAY. It's my favorite compliment!

Although, usually when I use this phrase I don't smile afterward...its more of a vacant leer while fumbling for my wallet.

Thanks again for the comments, Reverend. Is spelling a big problem in comics where there are (ideally) few words?

Did you give me a good rating?

I made a contribution, so when Brad gets me on the board, I'll be rating others! Pretty cool, huh?

I am a polite newbie, so please don't take this as a threat, anybody! Ha Ha!

Hammerstone is such a polite, young man... I bet he helps old ladies across the street.

Hey biped, remember that time you said you were helping old ladies across the street, but you were really just killing them, having sex with their wrinkly cold bodies and hiding them in dumpsters?

Good times...

Oh, yeah! I'd forgotten that I used to do that.

Thanks for your thoughtful comments, guys.

Me, I'm looking for a goal to set. Let's say you are an old-timer with tons of experience, lots of (virtual) ink under your fingernails, and thousands of strips. What's your batting averege? What's the % of really good, OK, and dog shit strips for someone like that?

Eh?

---
Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

I'd say 10% of my strips are really funny, 80% will at least make me smile, and 10% are real stinkers. Classic bell curve.

But that's my own opinion of myself. Other opinions may vary.

...Trot and Cap'n Bill were free from anxiety and care. Button-Bright never worried about anything. The Scarecrow, not being able to sleep, looked out of the window and tried to count the stars.

That's about what I thought.

Mine are about 5% really good and 95% shit.

I think you are a polite person, which gets points in my book, but I don't really like your comics. Like someone above said, I feel like they don't really have much of a punchline, and doing a little spelling and grammar check before would help a lot. But hey, I can't rate, so bully for you!

---
I think, therefore I make comments on a forum.

Cowtipper, thanks for the spelling heads-up. Even though you cannot rate me, I made a small donation, and can now rate you.

Ha Ha.

There were spelling errors in True Science Comics! Since I ripped off the exposition from a web site, my first impluse was to blame them, but, my ethical postion as a polite newbie requires that I suck it up and do a mea culpa. And because I made a donation, I was able to go back and fix it. So now you can really dig it! Except I didn't see any grammer errors that weren't intentional.

As for your other critical remarks, perhaps they are merely your opinions?

I was going to berate your comics, but then I noticed that you've donated and will soon be able to vote. So I think your comics are the best thing ever.

Or perhaps your comics merely suck? It's a possibility you might want to explore.
