Thanks for all the input guys. I'm kicking it off with some old school for the return here. Should be good!

No, don't think that, and thanks for the criticism! That was one of the main complaints I got, especially early on after a few strips when it was REALLY out there. I slowly toned it down but tried to retain the bulk of the weirdness. Going to keep giving it some thought. If I don't have one for the next mag, it will be the month after. Want to make sure I think this out thoroughly. If you have more comments, keep them coming.

Now that I'm no longer affiliated with the eZine, I can say that I never really understood it either. It seems like it's "let's come up with the most random thing ever" and then you run with it, throw in some german like words here and voila, it's a strip.

But I guess I'm in the minority, so I say go with what you're doing. I'm not the most intelligent guy around, so it may just be above my head.

Obviously you didn't read it much! I don't seem to remember putting swearing in their once! I make it edgy through annoyance only! But I will think about what you said too. The suggestion is good too, hmm, I will keep thinking about this. Obviously not everyone is going to like it, and that's fine. Bad criticism is a good thing.

eeek. looks like i'm gonna be the asshole on this thread, but this is how i feel.

1 & 2. no. i don't. never "got it." seems like it was about insular jokes or making fun of a person or caricature, which was fine except i never knew who the hell it was supposed to be. it seemed like a missed opportunity, which it looks like you've figured out.

3. if he had focus, it'd make more sense, like pity observations on buyers, sellers, games, etc. have people give you ideas with their ridiculous stories of trying to buy a game from a seller from hell, or whatever. i think you have to find the voice of the character and then give the strip a direction. this isn't easy and if a story has no focus, it's just a bunch of shit that happens with some cursing in it to make it edgy.

i also get that this isn't yr job so it's not going to be a penny arcade or xkcd type of thing, but i think if you had all the stuff in #3 I'd read it.

I love the comic the way it is. It always reminded me the classic Howard & Nester comics but with a more modern and edgier feel. You should make a new one with Battle Kid. That would be epic.

You _need_ to make a nymphomaniac penguin as a new character.

I also loved the comic as is and is the first thing I would read. New characters would certainly add depth and more outlets for story direction. There's no reason to lose the edge. You can make fun of me anytime if you are looking for permission. I ain't scurred. I can't speak for everybody but most can surely take a joke. It is too serious here at times and it is a great way to point out childish or neurotic behavior while inviting a laugh. Keep it up dude.
