I hate that it's always the same face angle every goddamn panel.

It tries to do something with their hands and bodies, only making it all the more obvious.

I like the art pretty well in individual panels but there was something vaguely bugging me, I think that was it. I'm still onboard for now, I don't have a real feel for where it's going yet though.

Yeah it takes a bit for the art to crystalize (like late chapter 2-ish at the soonest I'd say); chapter 1's art in particular feels pretty rough

Likewise there's some aspects to the writing that also take a bit quicker to crystalize but still isn't Quite There yet by the end of chapter 1

I read the first couple and they just washed over me without making a mark. it seems like an interesting premise but everything else, the art, the writing, the character designs, just seems as generic as possible

And I hate that whole design choice of stumpy characters with big fat arms, it sucks, everyone stop drawing like that

If you have friends, and any of them go to college, it is inevitable that at some point you will be dragged into a half-baked photography project. Just go along with it. No one will remember.

It does remind me of that whole animation style (like Steven Universe et al) where everything kinda looks like it spawned from the same place. But I don't mind it too much, it's still pretty cute to me.

So, it's funny, right? The creator of the comic wants to bum people out and increase the suicide rate, but the ineptitude of the execution prevents that. So, it's a joke on the creator of the comic, right? That's why it's funny and why you enjoy it?

Pfsc has humorous elements, but overall, no, I wouldn’t describe it as funny. Which is a good thing that this thread isn’t titled PFY funny comics

E: again, if anybody doesn’t like these, put me on ignore

It's funny because of the way it fucks with expectations. This is the fundamental mechanism of most comedy, in fact. hth

Also, you forgot the straws.

PFSC is funny and fun to read, I've loved that comic for as long as it's been around. I even got the book from the kickstarter with an actual dead wasp in it.

PFSC is one of the best representations of what it's like to live in a world that doesn't want you in it but doesn't give enough of a poo poo to eject you. You're stuck there and nobody cares and nothing good or bad ever happens to you, everything is grey and white, there's no love or warmth, it's just room temperature forever and you can stay or die and nobody really cares either way.

It's perfect.

Yeah, that and the low-level hum of absurdity that comes along with that, like everyone's playing a boardgame that someone lost the rules to. Man, I like PFSC, but I have to check I with myself before I know whether or not I can do it today.

Softies is just so incredibly bland. I could say more but this goodreads review says it all:

quote:

I found this to be just ok. While I really liked the illustrations and the idea of the story, it just didn't interest me all that much. It wasn't bad, or poorly written or anything like that, but simply wasn't for me. So for that reason, I would pass this along to someone else.

It also lists it in the Childrens > Middle Grade genre so maybe better suited for the PYF babby comic thread?

The posts about disliking the thing are, as always, 100x more annoying than the thing’s posts. Pfsc has a super identifiable art style. Just scroll past.


Edit: like the ugly possum comic isn’t my jam so I scroll past. But when someone writes words I stupidly decide to read them.
