I'm kinda of afraid, I KNOW it's for my own good, but I know I've put my poor comic through a lot of changes and it's kind of in its gocky preteen stages. But I'm gonna suck it up and make my comic better! Will you guys help me?
How's the story?
How's the character development?
Has the style improved for the better?
Thank you all.

I read your comic all the way through, and this is what I think of it so far...
The Art: Your all around style has developed a bit since the comic first began, but it's defaintly improved. I like how you started coloring nearly every comic, it adds a little extra shine to the characters and backgrounds. In fact, I think your art is rather cute, exspecially the way you draw Bing! So adorable! XD
The characters: I like the characters personas a LOT. Though the way Cat delt with seeing Bing and Sarah being attacked by that sea monster was a little strange. (I felt he should've panicked a little more I suppose, but that's just me.)
The Story: The all around storyline is very good, though it's a little jerky at times. There are a lot of parts that leave me just plain lost, but I'm assuming that it's just how the story works. (The kind of thing where you mention something that confuses the reader at the time, but makes sense later.) I like the character interactions and dialog a lot though, exspecially the occational comidic twists.
Good Points:
1) Good storylines
2) Wonderfully written diolog.
3) Pretty colored art.
4) BING!!!!!!
Bad Points:
1) Sometimes it's hard for me to tell which speak-bubble to read first.
2) A few too many filler strips. (Then again we all have real life problems sometimes, so that's not as big a problem as it could be.)
3) I WANT MORE COMICS NOW!!! NOWWW!!!!!111one!
So that's my critique, I hope it helps. ^_^

You are the Non. You must go now, and never return."
"1.Scan in high res 2.tweak with curves,levels or something to clean up the scan (or use channel mixer to remove blue pencil lines) 3.Add colour using a layer set to multiply. 4.Add wordbubbles and text as vector shapes. 5. Merge all layers. 6.resize to the web size. 7. Export/Save for Web" that's all I know about webcomicking.

I love it.
love it love it love it love it love it.
Just so you know. Just finished your archive.
Your artwork has continued to improve, I'll agree with SardonicSnake though about not always being able to tell which speech bubble comes first.
Thanks for the fun ride.
Keep it up.

Crossfire: "Thank you! That explains it very nicely, and in a language that someone other than a physicist can understand..."
Denial is not falsification. You can't avoid a fact just because you don't like it.
"Data" is not the plural of "anecdote"
Thanks
You all have been very kind to me! Even your harshest critism, even the private critisms, were fair to me. I'll be honest and say that it was awesome to get so much positive feedback!
Hopefully I can go back to the beginning and do some housework on the wordy single panels. But it's nice to have some support behind me to make it easier
It makes me endlessly happy that you liked my characters too! I was worried about them. Now I just have to find a way to make Cat as intresting if not as lovable as Bing, I mean it IS named after Cat after all.
And maybe Sardonic Snake could give some examples of when the comic gets you lost so I can see if I was being to tricky for my own good?
Thank you all so very much. It makes the work a LOT easier.

I'm glad you got so much positive feedback. Both you and your comic diserve it. ^.^ I just started posting on this forum, and so for it seems to me like a lot of the people on here try to be fair when giving their opinion.
Anyways, about Cat... I think he's cute and interesting to! I love his pretty pale skin. *_* But Bing is so... Well, furry and cute, lol. Like a kitty. ^_^;;
Also, a good example of when it was hard for me to tell which bubble to read first was the comic posted on October 11th, 2003. I'm sure there are others later on, but I'm lazy to go through them all. But yeah, I hope that helps!
