    Today's SFW oglaf (but not the site, never the site) is about breaking up the monotony.

    So, about Bobbins/Scary Go Round.

    I've always been neutral about the comic. I've liked the art and character designs, but never got into it. I found the authors constant failed attempts to end it kinda annoying.

    But then I learned about the circumstances of this Shelley characters pregnancy, and it's super fucking gross. It honestly taints the whole thing for me.

    people make bad decisions sometimes!

    I've kinda lost interest in Poppy with the new format

    The format could be good, but I find that the prose is pretty poor. Maybe they were good at plotting and writing dialogue for comic panels, but their writing in a direct story format is... not great. So far. Hopefully with practics it picks up.

    Yeah, I was interested in the Poppy webcomic. I am not so interested in the Poppy illustrated story-book.

    I liked Poppy as an actual comic way more, but at least this way I get to see an ending instead of a creator just stopping updates forever.

    Nerf Now art superior to writing.

    I agree, if you're going to post nerf now, instead take the keys out of your keyboard

    Brains are weird. I would normally enjoy a video or series of images about a cat unlocking a drawer and climbing inside, but because it's by the Nerf Now! person I immediately become a big ol grumpo.

    I've found that I enjoy the latest Poppy comics as much as the previous format, especially this last one which had a good deal of humor in the prose.

    I can't say I've noticed that the quality of the writing has changed, it seems pretty decent to me

    I like the new Poppy and the 4th wall bit is right up my alley.

    Poppy is a comic that should do really well in the new format but yeah the writing in these first couple has felt pretty weak compared to the comic

    Maybe its just that the art was so good that it feels like the writing has a ton of extra work to do and it isn't quite up to the task yet but hopefully as they get used to the new format it will improve

    Oh, you edited. Uh, I am on my phone and it doesn't wanna let me quote but...

    There was a marvel comics event recently that the writer tried to say "no, hydra aren't nazis you guys" and "this isn't a political story!"

    In the event, Captain America turns out to be Hydra, Hydra conquers America and turns into a fascist state, and it goes on and on. One blunderous highlight was Marvel trying to get comic stores to buy into the event and put Hydra paraphernalia up in stores.

    Basically the worst timed event possible and fairly poorly written and handled.

    Well

    Some of the people who write them are, yes
