It's not something that's ever going to be funfunfun happy but I can't take my eyes off it which has to mean something. And anyway, if you really wanted to sell out you shouldn't make a funny strip either, you should make a webcomic about a dozen attractive underage teenagers with colorcoded superpowers. mycot fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Jan 8, 2016 |

Captain Bravo posted:Oh christ, you posted it again, ohhhh nooo. I think part of the reason that panel gets me is when I watched my first dog get hit by a car at like 12, that's pretty much a dead-on parody of me and my dad when he ambled down to speculate about the most convenient way to dispose of the broken dog, with him still flopping around on the ground trying to get up A.o.D. posted:You want some weapons grade trauma? aaaand i think you're set for next update

My sad cat story: Back when I was still in elementary school, a sort-of-stray cat (she showed up at our place and we started taking care of her sometimes and stuff) had kittens in the backyard, and they'd come out sometimes and stuff. One cold morning, I went out to the driveway and started the truck. After I did that, I heard something, and looked under the truck. One of the kittens was under there, thrashing and bleeding. I panicked and ran inside to get my mom; apparently, the kitten had climbed up inside under the truck, probably because it was warm in there, and when I started it the machinery eviscerated it. I didn't go to school that day. Even now I'm still paranoid whenever I start a vehicle that a cat might be hiding inside, so I check to make sure one.

Plethora posted:I did that because I want to get honest opinions. I've learned from experience that if you come in going "look at my stuff" no one will give you the right kind of criticism you need to get better. SA is great at voicing useful criticism, as seen with Tyson Hesse's experiences, and there aren't any better places to go for some straight truth than SA. Oh good I can just ask you directly. I noticed that the main character seems consistent across all the stories. Is this all supposed to be happening to one person (maybe "Megumi Tomoe")? Shall I select for personal trauma that would be consistent with the speaker being a girl?

I don't see any reason why someone shouldn't talk about their own comic in here as long as they aren't being a weirdo about it or breaking the forum rules. (Tip, though, pretending it's someone else's comic is weird.) The comic itself reminds me a bit of this print one:  Bit of a different focus, of course.

Is this all supposed to be happening to one person (maybe "Megumi Tomoe")? Shall I select for personal trauma that would be consistent with the speaker being a girl? Sure! The main bunny is more like an actor recreating the stories for the comic. There's no continuity since a lot of stories are from different people (some readers have given me several stories, which was great). The stories can be from the perspective of any gender. The characters are simple enough to play around with. Megumi is a character from Serious Engineering . She's a cartoonist whose work became a cult classic after she died in an accident. Her boyfriend, who is one of the main cast, witnessed her death and tells us her story in an interview for an anniversary biography. It's rough for him seeing her photos and comics in bookstores and in posters and he thinks helping out with the biography will give him some closure. I wanted to make actual Bunny Meat strips to make that part of the comic feel more 'real'. People started sending me their own traumas (which is great since I ran out of my own after the first few strips) and it gained a life of it's own.

...does anyone else like Prague Race has completely died as a story? The characters are reunited and apart from getting the thing off Leona's back, they can pretty much just walk back through the portal and go home. It's not like Miko can't just get a new pair of pants and turn back into a human. They're currently loving about on an airship humouring some guy because they have to do something, I guess. I mean they could go run around with werewolves seeing fun characters in a crazy world, but there's still no driving force in the story that I can see.

Yeah, it feels like it's really lost any sense of narrative urgency since they all got back together - it'd been meandering a bit for a while, though, frankly, and now it really feels like the reason they're humoring the ship guy is because the author likes the character a lot, full stop. There was a hint of horror elements resurfacing when Leona's hand thing seemed to take her over in Colin's room a bit back, but I guess nothing came of that?

Giant Ethicist posted:There was a hint of horror elements resurfacing when Leona's hand thing seemed to take her over in Colin's room a bit back, but I guess nothing came of that? I realise it feels like longer when you're reading it day to day, but it's only been 18 pages since that. Leona's parasitic ghost hands and impending death haven't been forgotten, they're just not immediately relevant to this scene, the scene that is in fact the only scene that has occurred since the last scene where it was relevant. I agree that it's lacking urgency, though. They're sat around humouring this dude because Colin feels compelled to work off his debt to hand-ears lady, and Leona refuses to either abandon him or frog-march his sorry backside back through the portal. Colin only incurred that debt because he deliberately chose to take a job rather than have her cancel the cheque (and, to be fair to him, from his perspective it didn't seem like he had many options at that point). The only reason hand-ears lady had to cut a cheque in the first place is because some rear end in a top hat decided it'd be fun to sell Colin for parts instead of rescuing him, and the only reason that flew is because in this world, a world Colin never wanted to come to, humans are unpeople. There's a reason for it and it's all consistent with the characters as presented, the problem is that, while ostensibly our protagonists are held hostage by circumstances beyond their control, it doesn't feel as if any of the other characters would care much if they decided to just disappear. There's no active antagonist, so the only reason we're stuck here is that Colin is lawful stupid.

For as much as we give tumblr a hard time for being tumblr, it's loving funny how often goons come out with similar poo poo. "You have a Japanese character in your comic, therefore you must want to be Japanese, that's not cool, stop it at once". Just, jesus, listen to yourself.

Here's the post again in case you didn't catch it: Plethora posted:Megumi is a character from Serious Engineering . She's a cartoonist whose work became a cult classic after she died in an accident. Her boyfriend, who is one of the main cast, witnessed her death and tells us her story in an interview for an anniversary biography. It's rough for him seeing her photos and comics in bookstores and in posters and he thinks helping out with the biography will give him some closure. The story takes place in Vancouver, which has a relatively high Japanese and Chinese population. Her heritage makes sense for the setting. She's not even a main character - the main cast is an African American woman, a Ukrainian Jew, a biracial Mexican, and his Czech boyfriend. I'm not terribly interested in Japanese culture and stuff - I don't even like anime all that much. I'm way more interested in Western comics and animation since there's generally more variety in styles. I DO like Cat Soup and the weird stories about the creator, though, which led to Megumi's creation. Here's an old drawing of her:  Edit: Thanks for the support Renaissance Robot, Jackard, ChairMaster and Oxxidation. You guys are what it's all about.
