I'm unemployed and found this site today...I wasted a good amount of time on here that could have been used finding a job that I will almost certainly hate. I think I made the right decision.

Shhhh...I know.

After reading all of your comics, I vote you get a job.

Though I will say Reguarding could have ended after the guard's last line and been close to funny. And Duck/Rabbit Season was borderline also, but maybe only to me.

Mediocrity at its most average.

A few were kind of funny but many more were just way too wordy.  If the background begins to roll over it's a good indication you need to be more brief, if you can.   And 95% of the time, you can.

Best one of the lot was "Blasphemelicious", which was, I think, about a 6 tops.  The "Dinasaurs Evolved" comic sums it up the best: it seems like you're getting ideas from the artwork, instead of having an idea for a strip.

I can tell there's a solid comedic instinct in there, and it should come out once you adjust to your surroundings a bit.  Don't give up!

"He was cursed with a horrorshow of a face, like Guiseppe Archbold doing a study of mollusk tumors."

You'll get better--just work on your technique and presentation.  Think of funny ways to say things with less words.  Distill your comedy ideas into sharp, concise bursts of funny.  Rinse, then repeat.  Offer void where prohibited by law.  Not meant to be taken internally.  If swelling persists, consult your physician.  Believe me, this is great advice.  I'm thinking of taking it myself one of these days.

Rabbit/Duck Season Today by PennyDreadful 7-28-10

Duck Season! Rabbit Season! Duck Season! Rabbit--You know what? Just shoot me.I have been in this rut since the 30's. I have crippling personality defects that make it difficult for me to get through a day. Just put me out of my misery. Do you have excessive worry or tension that lasts for six months or longer? Cymbalta can help. WARNING: Cymbalta may increase suicidal thoughts and actions in children, teens, and ducks.

How JK Rowling could have saved time

Okay Harry...I know it's just your first year here at Hogwarts...but since I'm all knowing I'm just going to tell you what's going to happen and not jerk you around for seven years being mysterious.

I also loved the line "I'm Amish...literally all I have in the world is this beard and some butter."  But that comic, like some of your others, suffered from being too wordy.  It's also distracting when you stretch the backgrounds and try to indicate a pause with a line of hyphens.  If you work on fitting your jokes into the natural flow (and limitations) of the comic, I think you'll improve.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

Thanks for all of the feedback--I think you guys had some good points about being verbose. Everyone except "attitudechicka"...after reading your unfunny comics, I take it as a compliment that you didn't like mine.

---
Shhhh...I know.

You actually read all of them? That must have taken a lot more time than it took me to read your group of, what, 12? I'm honored by the amount of effort you put in to your criticism.

Obviosly I meant that I had read some of them. Apparently, based on your username, you take some sort of special pride in being an obtuse and purposefully hateful person.

I was just looking for some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism of some first time comics I had put on for fun. Obviously they're not great--never having written or really read a lot of comics before. But somehow everyone else managed to give me helpful feedback; YOU got needlessly personal and mean about it.

So thanks for all the help-- to those people that were helpful. To each their own---I'm sure that your American Splendor rip off attitude and tentacle rape/ butt boil comics are hilarious. You seem to be a truly happy and fulfilled person.

Keep pumping out that sunshine.

Nooblet's First Forum Critique by ZMannZilla 7-30-10

Listen, Nooblet. Your enthusiasm is awesome, really it is. However, Stripcreator.com features a tightly-knit group of forum regulars, with years upon years of in-jokes and drama. Yes, but I'm funny too! I have amusing personal habits and quirky observations! I even shared them when I posted my first comic! These meanies aren't being fair! No, you aren't listening to me. The regulars here aren't even playing the same game you are. Just lurk a bit and you'll see what I mean. Look at the wiki. Read some threads. Enter a contest. Hey, funny is funny, little girl. I've been knocking 'em dead at sleepovers and D&D Nights all my life. If this forum can't recognize, then they are going to get the very tip of my rapier wit. Constructive criticism is a lot like hammer1-1: noobs and regulars don't see it quite the same way. HEY LOOK! IT'S YOUR CRITICISM! THIS IS WHAT YOUR CRITICISM LOOKS LIKE, STRIPCREATOR!

Noted. You guys are tight. I'll try to take the newbie hazing with a smile if I can just manage to get my panties unbunched and finally stop sobbing.

Shhhh...I know.

When I was a newbie, I just pretended that the insults were actually gushing testimonials to my utter greatness.

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

Reading your comics is like a rollercoaster ride, there were some highs and some lows, and sometime during the ride I lost my damn baseball hat.

My personall fav is this gem:

Welcome to stripcreator!!! Remember to take off your shoes and watch out for Crabby (he bites)

I was going to post a compliment. I really was going to turn over a new leaf and be nice to a newbie, and then this rabid one bit chicka. Good job ruining it for all of newbie-kind, penny!

Chicka and I worked out our differences off forum. So no worries, you still have Cart Blanche to be assholes to newbies.

Oh good, I live to impress the pasty shut-ins that frequent this site. Dammit! I guess that's me now too.

That vest is kind of sexy...hmmm, but it's impossible to have a fantasy where she doesn't tell me to "hurry the hell up" or incourage me not to quit my day job.

Shhhh...I know.

oops...Encourage...before someone jumps up my ass about my spelling.

I have no idea what you're woking about.

Shhhh...I know.

Is it possible for a non-donor to put a link to comics on the forum when they haven't JUST been created?

I have several new ones if someone wants to take a look.

Thanks
