Message Board Mishaps, Part 1 by Jeanster
2-22-05
I visit a message board where they discuss a cartoon series.
It’s fun to read the other messages posted by the others who visit it on a regular basis.
One girl in particular posts the almost identical message every day. And I mean EVERY DAY without fail.
“hi guys! –wazzup to my pals. -later!”

It begs the question why that girl does this. There must be a reason.
So one day I posted a reply to her “hi guys!” post.
It’s nice of you to say hi to us. But you really don’t have to do it every day You can wait until you have something to discuss regarding this cartoon series.
I got a reply.
“I have to post every day because my counselor told me to.”

Her counselor told her to? Hmm. How odd.
Was it her school counselor? Or was it a mental health counselor?
Perhaps it’s therapeutic for her to visit a message board every day just to post a message saying hi.
Well, since the owner of the message board appeared to have no problem with it, I didn’t give it another thought.

Then one day the sh*t hit the fan when a newcomer to the board posted a reply to her latest “hi guys” post.
Wow, [name withheld] is a ##### loser! She posts the same message every day, lmao,
It didn’t take long for her staunch friends on the message board to defend her.
“eff off, and find a hobby. I'm sorry something went wrong in your life to make you an asshole, don't take it out on [name withheld].”
The owner of the message board deleted the newcomer’s offensive reply and advised everyone to not feed the troll.
"Do not feed the trolls."

But perhaps it would help if there was a brief explanation near the top of the message board...
or an FAQ explaining why our dear [name withheld] (bless her heart) posts as she does.
That might help prevent such flames wars at this board.

Not funny at all, I hate to admit. You should have at least tried putting punchlines in at the end of ONE of the strips

Message Board Mishaps, Fin Addendum by Jeanster

As I was about to fall asleep that night I thought I heard someone in my bedroom.
Is someone there?
So I turned on the light and saw I was not alone.
Some of the members of the SC forum think this series is boring. So what say we spice it up with some sex?
..!
Well, sorry, guys. I tried. But you have to keep in mind that this series is based on actual events.
Punch lines don't always appear at the end of an event in real life. And not all comic strips have to have a punch line. Good night, folks.

Events in real life that don't have punchlines at the end of them are the ones that you probably shouldn't make comics about, but if you do, then you are allowed to make some up.

If they don't have a punchline, then there has to be something else about the comics that is funny, unless making them funny isn't your goal.

No, punch lines don't always appear in real life, that's why we either change the facts or don't write about things that just plain aren't funny. Or if we do, we don't post it in a forum and and ask other people to read it. And no, not all comic strips have to have a punch line, just the ones that are meant to be funny.

Now that being said, you haven't asked us to like your comics, just read and review them, which certainly goes to your credit. A lot of people post very poor comics that get canned and then take offence that people didn't like their work, which isn't what you've done.

What I'd suggest is that if you're going to make comics based on real life, to change things slightly to make them humourous, or use real events to set the scene, and then use a fictional punchline to make it into a joke- this is what I've done on about 70% of my strips, and it works quite well. Alternately if you are set on sticking to reality, perhaps comic strips aren't the best medium to use (nobody takes anything seriously when it has cartoon drawings). Otherwise forget being accepted into the stripcreator community and just make comics for your own reasons. ^_^

Thank you kindly for the feedback, folks. I'll keep those in mind when making future comics.

Happy posting, good people.
