Hi. This is my first post - I never noticed PA had a forum, I shall be hanging out here from now on :)

I just drew my first comic, please let me know what you think about it. I've gained tons of respect now for people who can draw.

Thank you! :)

    Other ppl have to say they respect you, it means nothing when it comes from your own mouth.

    I'll let others do the flaming.

    I was talking about other people who can draw. I obviously can't :)

    That was sort of uncalled for. He says he respects people who can draw now that he has attempted it himself, not that people respect him.

    Edit: Beat to the punch.

    someone has been watching mitchell and webb methinks? ..... guy in a suit is a pc, mr casual is a mac etc...

    to be honest... it's not funny? is it supposed to be?

    It's not bad... it's just... not anything really. It's devoid of anything critable, the writing is bland, the drawings are just two guys floating in a void, drawn in completely different styles, to different scales....

    i just don't know what we're meant to say to this

    it has no soul/character/life... same old stuck record... you need to back a few stages, develop your characters, your anatomy, all the usual stuff.

    and write jokes that are more than just long winded statements.

    I dunno, it actually seems like a fairly decent representation of those Mac vs PC commericials, which are "just two guys floating in a void." Compared to other webcomics, I don't think the art is extremely terrible, but I would stay far away from gradients from now on.

    And it says in the comic why Mac is flying. Kinda funny. Is it lol-worthy? Not really. But it's not bad. Just keep trying, read successful comics and figure out what they do and what they avoid.
