[Oz!]

G'day,

This message contains me plugging my web comic. You will note I have generously interpreted my comic as arts & entertainment. I am not sure if I am really allowed to do this kind of thing? If not, my apologies! I would also like to go on official record as saying that I think Achewood is probably the pinnacle of human achievement. God it's good!

So, g'day again, I have recently hooked up a webpage for my exciting comic http://OZONTHEINTERNET.com. You will like my comics because they are very humorous and fun to read. The internet is a friendly place for me to make new mates!!! Please be my mate!

thank you very much,
-OZ

I like your comic very much.  Also, you have great taste in music.

If you want to make a good Webcomic, I would advise brevity. Most comics, even Achewod, reach their funny in three to six small panels without masses of text. The only exception I can think of is Dinosaur Comics, but Ryan has some flexibility there because everyone knows all the artwork is the same. This comic lacks brevity.

I would also advise having actual punchlines and being funny. Thus far this comic is lacking in that regard.

I'm confused, does that guy have a beard, or is he the Elephant Man?

Also, sorry, but I did not find it funny.

[Simms]

The artwork reminds me a little bit of James Thurber. The writing reminds me of someone wears a Ratt t-shirt because they think it's funny-ironic when it's just I-paid-$20-for-this-ironic.

I'm not really good with description. It felt like when Onstad does an alt-text where he boils down what's going on in the strip do it's most basic and ridiculous, but instead of a sentence it's half a page. That's bad. So was the other thing.

I don't mind telling you this because it probably won't make you stop. I also thought your second 'g'day' wasn't needed.

I'm not totally sure I get it. Am I supposed to get it? Please advise.

We're getting soft.  Where's the post that berates Oz! for having his or her first post be promoting his or her personal webcomic?  To say nothing of the exclamation point in his or her name.

[Ben-San]

Your comic does not engage my interest and you registered for an MB specifically to plug your comic.

F, see me after class.

I took that much as implied. You know, the whole "you registered just to pimp your comic and that is TERRIBLE" thing. Some messages can be assumed to hold regardless.

I was going to post something about the comic being awful and about the sadness of Oz's life, but then I remembered that I had, you know, better things to do, so I figured I'd leave the TOUAMB chastising to those with less of a life.

Welcome to the board Oz! (!).  I doubt that I shall see you here againe.

I can't tell if this is a prediction or a menacing statement of fact.

[V-Adore]

My guess would be a prediction, given the general tendency of people like this not to come back. That said, for the record, Oz(!) is welcome to come back and actually discuss Achewood if he'd like to. Reading his comics, I sense that he likes it quite a bit.

[Choop]

Art: Shite.

Writing: Mostly Meh, with a side of Right On.

Attitude: Five Stars. (*****) (out of five) (five stars, that is) (five stars out of five for attitude, I mean) (I like your exciting attitude)

[Oz!]

Cheers everybody, one way or the other! Yeah, apologies again for creating an account just to plug. That is pretty low. I mean as far as I could see nobody else had done this but I couldn't see any explicit guidance against it and I guess I am a very optimistic person!
My head: "Yes people will definitely enjoy another web comic with poor artwork and uncertain dialogue, and will consider it to be a brilliant commentary on modern life."

I think a lack of brevity is a pretty fair criticism. I would like to improve on that! I don't know James Thurber or Ratt, sorry!

In summary, I do like achewood a whole lot!

[jough]

Man, I swear I thought I blocked all handles with exclamation marks in them...
