Oh... well then how about me?

This evening, I got around to hearing a few of the reviews. I like your 60 second idea more and more. Though, as someone mentioned earlier, some of the reviews seem to have a little too much plot-summary, and not enough of your opinion expressed. The background music goes well with the cadence of the review, and you have a good voice for this sort of thing.

One suggestion that I might give: Speed up your pace. You hear those radio DJs when they list off the names of the artists that just had songs played? Or you know then they give weather forecasts? A DJ tends to speak a little faster than normal for two reasons: First, to fit more information into a small span of time, and Two, to keep the audience's attention. People can process words much faster than they can speak them. Talk too slow and your listeners will tend to zone out.

I'm not saying you should speed up to the point that you're tripping over yourself, either. But, you know.

I hope this helps.

I think it's a good idea myself. Less time spent reading a review is more time to read a comic. I've read plenty of long winded articles where I'm thinking "Get to the point already". I say go for it.

@ McDuffies: I really shouldn't at this point. (given that my submissions are closed). Not even sure if you have anything currently updating or matching mycritera. No offense.


@ orinocou: I've been trying to keep a description to within 50 words, but yea, I've noticed that too. Trying to work on cutting that.

@VinnieD: that's what I was thinking. I've seen too many reviews in which they bitch about the author or some aspect not even about the comic itself.

I caught it and it put me in the hospital for a week.

Oh! A delicious pun! I love it.

Wait 'till Sparrow gets you.

I find it safest to answer questions straight out when recieving them from people you do not quite know, especially their humor. The last thing I need is to piss people off .... more than I already do

Humor is somewhat tricky to convey via text...

Fair enough.

Oscar Wilde begs to differ.

Yeah, but he's dead. I think.

He is quite exploded.

What comic did he do?

Wasn't he involved with League of Extraordinary Gentlemen or something?

I hear he had to stop posting because every time he went out to have fun with his friends, one of his characters would mysteriously grow really, really ugly.

I heard that he's John Solomon's next target
