And what's the pretense that it takes? Its not supposed to "mean" anything. It's just a funny string of events with no particular ending. Hate it if you want, but if it "bled" pretension, I'm sure we would all pick it up. Hell, I'm surrounded by art students at school. We can all pick out the snobs ...

With strips like this one, you cannot tell me you actually hate ALILBTDII. http://www.alessonislearned.com/index.php?comic=6 Many of my classmates will try for surrealistic work, and forget that if yur symbolism is compleltey different to societies, then it won't make any damn sense. Then they get p...

I just hate when people use the word "random" for thier comics. Its not random. None of it. When you can't think of a punchline and just have your characters start throwing flaming squirells at each other, it isn't random. Its completely intentional, and more often than not, its bad writing. It woul...

I like all of these. I've been reading ALISBTDII for a while now, the other two are totally new to me. I like comics aren't aren't really trying to be funny. Maybe its just a cute, incomplete idea the artist had one day. Not all strips have to be humour-based, not all have to be story-based. Some do...

Seriously. In a lot of my work I WANT a perfectly straight line, for a non-drafting-related reason. I can draw straight lines without a ruler. We have a class dedicating a whole semestre to straight lines and perspective without aid. But, as our teacher says, that's jsut in case your tools aren't av...

Right, like I said: ore into leaves!

And YeahDuff, you continue to be a magnificent bastard.

Kneel, pawns!

Forget that shit, man. I only use raw lead ore that I hand-mine from the earth. Grind that into some leaves for a bit and you get a sweet drawing. All you guys using "pencils" and "paper" are cheaters. I go to a reputable art school. If we want to use a ruler, we do. Using a ruler does not remove me...

Amen to that.

I'm having that issue right now

Whutchoo talkin' bout? I talk Inglish!

His forum name is 'Van Douchebag' and on his own site he lists his occupation as: "student / asshole".

Maybe he was just trying to impress his boss.

Why this movie will be/is bad: Lorenzo Muzic, the definitive voice of Garfield is dead. The voice of Garfield is dead . Well yeah, but that was unavoidable (but I always thought of him more as Peter Venkman). Bill Murray is the logical tradeoff because of the Music/Murray voice selection for the Re...

Wow. I had no idea Garfield would be the source of such heated 'debate'. You can tell even just from the trailer that the Garfield in this movie is nothing like the comic version. Although, that may be a reason to go see it if you agree with my opinion that every Garfield comic is the same thing. Ga...

I was at a rave a fort-night ago and met a girl who looked exactly like Karen from my comic. Kinda acted like her too, but not slutty...

Hah! That's golden.

Yeah, I'm sure we can all agree that a whack of nerds on an island would make for some rousing entertainment.

'Like Robots' by Bis

Its got the right sound and the lyrics fit the theme.

Do you need to draw well to have a webcomic? No. If you want to be successful at it? Basically, yes. Let's face it, the art is your first impression and some well written comics have art so bad you just can't get past it. You could always do the writing and have someone else draw. That's the way mos...

I just thought of another one: In a manga/anime-styled webcomic (written in English), the characters' speech sometimes RANDOMLY includes Japanese phrases, and sometimes even Japanese symbols for sound effects. Dang otakus. This wouldn't apply if the character in question were Japanese though, would...

Hahaha! Actually I just read your current banner 'Swords are cool - THEY ARE DAMMIT!'

I find that hillarious.

Yikes. Unless I've been huffing glue, that puts NetherOak at...76th place?

Here's two but I'm not sure if they count.

1 - Using the words 'random', 'random humor' or 'randomness' to describe your comic.

2 - Having your slogan begin with the words 'because' or 'fear'...unless, of course, those words are in the title...
