    Is this that comic that used to be kinda cartoony, but artistic cartoony? And they played wow and there was some nerdy artist guy. Maybe a talking cat or squirrel.... maybe it didn't talk...


    Backwards hat, ponytail, and glasses?

    I like the expressions in the last three panels

    but the rest of the art is really sketchy

    maybe I'm not art-y enough for it

    it was pretty funny though

    Applegeeks had a talking squirrel and a similar art style, you may be thinking of that.

    It is obviously a large wall or TV screen meant to represent the second dimension and totally not a less than half-assed attempt at creating a wall with a window and a tree outside.

    it just pisses me off that he obviously spent tons of time on the characters and then just decided to scribble a bunch for the background, it's the laziest thing in the world

    So he's supposed to draw all the guns in the background, Orikae?

    And how is he supposed to detail a fucking cubicle farm? It's better if it stays minimalist there.
