Your link keeps redirecting me to HERE

God damnit, I hate my hosting service. I would probably go back to Keenspace, but I want to keep the sidwood.net domain...

Try going to http://sidwood.net/oldcomics.html and clicking on the first link.

I did this.

I killed my main character.

I have to add something I realized the other day, that can really spoil an otherwise good comic... David Hasselhoff.

There are very few things that will turn me off a webcomic:

1) Unoriginality. There is not one jokes in there that I didn not see coming, or that I haven't heard before. I swear, if I see one more strip where the punchline is one character saying something stupid while another looks to the reader and raises an eyebrow, I'm going to pitch a fit.

2) Constant copying and pasting. Now, I don't mind this when the art is SUPPOSED to be simple. But, if the person makes a big deal about being a good artist, but every single comic contains copying and pasting, that bugs the hell outta me

3) Artists who take themselves too seriously. 'Nuff said.

3) Illegibility. Basically, if I can't read it easily, I'm not gonna try to.

Just aboout every thing else you guys have said I don't mind as long as it's funny. I don't care if the concept of a comic has been done to death 10 million times; if it makes me laugh, I'm bookmarking it. I don't care of it's a sprite comic, or if it pretends to be manga, or it breaks the fourth wall all the time. As long as it brings the funny, I am happy.

I hate female characters that are smart and reasonable but nasty-tempered and yelling at everybody.

I think I had a pretty good start. Swift characterisation of three characters in first three comics.

I did this.

The main reason this was my first strip is that, back in 2002 when I first had the idea for Boot Camp, it was the first strip I drew.

But given that, I seemed to manage to unconsciously follow a lot of the rules of first-comic writing when I did it (barring some light fourth wall breaking in the final panel), the most important of which seems to be: don't make your intro strip look like an intro strip. The first panel seems to suggest that events have been occurring for some time before the strip ("Right, men, I think I've finally found a weapon you can use without you mucking it up...")

Wow, you most certainly did.

By the way, I've always meant to tell you that I've always enjoyed your style of drawing. Your use of a mostly round shapes and just the way that you draw your characters is very visually appealing. Really like that soft effect you get with all your drawings.

Just a random compliment.

And BR! Be nice to 9th elsewhere! It's not THAT bad! You can rag on the other one all you like though.

DID YOU READ WHAT I SAID? I said "GOOD MANGA ARTWORK" right next to it.

Fucking god people. I'm an asshole, yes, but a nice one. I may have a dislike for shitty manga, but 9th elsewhere isn't shitty manga. I even complimented on my post and I still get talked down to.

*foams at the mouth and dies*

I suppose it's an improvement over "manga sux"

The reason I'm responding to this though, is I wish further elaboration on "Nice Asshole". Is that similar to "Evil/Good" alignments I've seen D&D people use online, whihc I could have sworn didn't make any sense at all, or is this more like a "Chaotic/Good" sort of alignment?

It's nice to see you link 9th Elsewhere though. Big props to that manga n_n

Jesus Christ it was a misunderstanding and you go and fly off the goddamn handle. You are always so ready for someone to start up an argument with you when you post something inflammatory, you never put your fists down.

You don't come off as an asshole, you just come off as an arrogant immature moron. Assholes aren't always insulting, they just get their messages across in a callous manner. Assholes can bring something useful to a discussion. An arrogant immature moron just kinda flails his arms around to get attention.

And besides, maybe if you brought more to a discussion than "This is what I hate and the only reasons I can give are based on opinion but should be taken as fact" then maybe, just maybe, people wouldn't cringe every time they see a post of yours.

My bad. Sorry about that.

...um, not "hate", really, but I just find it a tad inconvenient when comics have lots of images on their home page. I'm on the fake internet (56k) so it'll take me a while to load it.

Additionally, archives shouldn't have lots of images either... I need to thumb through that, ya know?

(I am devoid of hate! Mwahhahaha. WAIT, I HATE SNOW)

I hate comics that start off by introducing their characters like a bio page or something. You're suppoosed to reveal their personalities though their words and actions, fools. It should be way more subtle.
