Most of your comics had great set-ups... and punchlines that didn't live up to them. Or, rather, your punchlines stood on the height of your lofty set-up, basking in the potential engery of funny, and then, as they were about to plunge gracefully into the comic denoumaunt of humor, smacked their heads on the platform on the way down. Twice. And often times it seemed the pool was empty to begin with.

I just told someone this recently, but it doesn't help to give a political bent to your comics. Not only does it completely alienate people who don't share your beliefs, but dogma almost by definition is never funny; if you're trying to force an opinion on me -- whether I agree with it or not -- you've missed the whole point of humor. If I wanted a sermon (which I don't) I certainly wouldn't turn to a comic strip.

Needless to say, you won't be making my favorites list. Not that that's any sort of tragedy. But if you still want my advice, concentrate on bringing your good set-ups home and avoid the politics; then we'll talk.

To clarify, the comic was originally used as a political weapon. In an attempt to reach out to an illiterate working class, comic artists would use cartoons that satirized the robber barons. The monopolists themselves hated the cartoons, admitting that their workers "can't read, but they can look at the pictures."

What not_Scyess said about the downfalls of political comics is true. If a viewer does not share your opinion, the comic is much less funny. Some comics are able to compensate with an extreme amount of humor, but these are rare.

And of course, rants are never funny.

Wow. That is at once interesting and completely unimportant.

Hey, someone should invent a game where people could ask questions relating to trivial things like that, and people could persue the answers. If someone makes such a game, I'll bet Devin will be really good at it.
