How is your original work so much better than your modern work and you put a disclaimer apologising for the early art right at the start of the comic jesus christ runon sentence

The premise of Goblins is really stupid. Its not set in a D&D-esque fantasy world but an actual D&D game that people are supposed to be playing. So you have stupid stuff like everyone treating everything that happens as deadly serious but then they start mentioning levels and classes and when people are gravely injured they have numbers floating over their heads. It creates this tonal whiplash.

Everyone has met that guy who wants to tell you all about his sick d&d campaign. Except this time the DM is incompetent, the players are incompetent, and the guy telling you about it happens to have a Wacom, with which he is incompetent.

I've read chunks of Goblins out of the same masochism that led me to bookmark this thread, and it's all just a really lovely middle school d&d campaign. The only thing notable about it is that at some points the art is so bad that it seems like an achievement.

That's funny, I always thought the premise of Goblins was that it was set in a world where everything looks like garbage and everyone is confused at all times by what the hell is supposed to be going on.

It's an okay joke, probably funnier if you're a gamer who has a kid that's going to school and old enough to play games with you, which is definitely a tiny demographic. I do like that they stopped doing the drunk red noses though! It makes the art much more bearable to look at.

Because one color looks bad.

Look at their pics in real life, and they're the literal poster-children for the term "manchild".

With a little Sloth from the Goonies thrown into the ol' DNA mix too.

The funniest thing about Indie Game: The Movie was when Phil Fish meets Jerry Holkins, because Phil does actually look like Tycho.

Gabe is certainly not drawn his dental age, because whooooo-boy, when that guy smiles it's like looking at the mouth of sauron. Only a little grosser.

Given how goony looking they are in real life, how flattering did the Penny Arcade guys draw their spouses?

The Whomp guy at least drew himself pretty true to life.
