Wow, he looks demented and mad in the third panel, especially with the background. And his butt is funny. The frown and his under-nose in the last panel is just so strange and completely unique. Hooray for no strictly followed character model.
The antler from panel three is also partially in panel two! I wonder if there is a reason for this. Maybe it was an attempt at trying to emphasize them, to make (what i think was) the punch-line better... however, it all comes off as wrong to me... leaving me confused to how these comics KEEP popping up regularly. I think i could make better comics in my sleep... and i'm not just saying that.
Good lord people, if you claim you can do a better job making comics than the guest artists, THEN DO IT. I'm sure Dumm would love to feature you sometime. Then you can put up with everyone putting down your work when they don't always "get" it.
Everyone has their own style. Sometimes it mixes well with others, sometimes it clashes. But quit being such sarcastic jerks when the latter happens.
- praise
- underhanded praise
- criticism
- underhanded praise
- criticism
- honest response
- anger at the criticism
- Good Samaritan urging people to calm down
Some points:
- you don't have to know how to make a cake to tell that it's moldy
- this isn't a cake, it's an outline of a cake that's about making cakes
- we can disagree in a civil manner
- everyone's a critic
- deer standing on their deer hind legs are scary
I wish people wouldn't be sarcastic. It's not what I'd call 'constructive criticism'.
And on the subject of criticism, I personally preferred the old-style Arthur Paintstains. They were more alive than this computer-born one. More please!
I'm not too keen on the comedy of Arthur Paintstain. Or maybe it's the art that doesn't jive with me. One thing I'll say is I prefer this strip's cleaner style to Deckter's usual rough jumble. So yay for improvement.
I am honored to present Dirk Erik Schulz, today's guest artist on 1930 Nightmare Theatre.
The talented Mr. Schulz (AKA Themrock) hails from Germany and is one of the most unique and visionary artists I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Check out his Deviant Art gallery and prepare to have your mind blown!
This week sees the 13-part Strawberry's Quest come to an end. This was sort of an improv experiment in comic form: I wrote part one, and from their John and I took turns writing each part until the comic came to a "logical" conclusion. It was a lot of fun, and I like what we came up with. We won't be doing it again anytime soon, however. We've got other fish to fry. We'll do more multi-parters in the future, possibly just as long, but with the story figured out beforehand. In the meantime, we'll be here with some gag strips, though we're going to take a three-week break after Valentine's Day. We've got some incredibly awesome guest strips for those weeks, so look forward to them.
In other news, all the old stuff in my Etsy shop is on über-sale, and I've added the piece above. Check it out at http://www.etsy.com/shop/TVsKyle

I can't stress the last point enough.
