Funny, but pretty sketchty (as in it looks like a sketch). There's not much to critique. You could add some backgrounds. Also, what's the big bear saying in the last panel?
Pretty funny, I laughed inwardly. Art doesn't hurt my eyes, but IS a little sketchy. I'm not sure if backgrounds would work or if simplistic would be better. Might give it a try.
One thing that I would say is that the knife changes hands from its left- to its right- to its left. He maybe juggling it, but I think if you keep it in a constant hand it might work better.
Anyway, I liked it! I think the sketchy feel works well, but I agree that the knife shouldn't switch hands, and more could've been done to highlight it (I didn't notice it in the first panel it came up myself).
Overall you get a 'pretty awesome' though
So thanks again for the comments! If you get bored come see our comic, and maybe we'll have some more video game strips to test out on you.
It doesn't have to be about video games. :P
We don't like webcomics about video games in the artists corner.
Besides, Pokemon isn't just a game.
My goodness you are right. Thanks for the heads up! I figured you guys just weren't interested.
You could use some more backgrounds though. A couple of the old ones have them, like the easter one.
It doesn't haveto be anything that takes away from the main focal point, but just something so they're not floating.

The artist is a graphic designer and not a sequential artist. She draws the comics more as posters or designs. This is why I enjoy working with her so much, because to me, while I love the detailed backgrounds in some of the strips, the lack of background and the silhouette, single line character drawings in certain panels works to separate the comic (from literally hundreds of thousands of others) through a very different artistic style.
This isn't to say that I disagree, it is simply a stylistic choice that the artist made, and one that I tend to agree with.
I do appreciate the feedback though and I enjoy that you guys are really focusing on quality advice!
edit: the pouty honey eating in "2007-05-23" was really funny ...and is bear driving a SAAB 900 series in "2007-06-20"? :P
HAHAHA Just LOL'ed to another:
"Re: Mickey Mouse Black Face
WTF. No. "
Haha, I love this one. The reaction is priceless.
I looked through all your comics and while many of them are pretty damn funny there were times where they seemed a bit confusing as to who was who. Maybe a change of writing or a few additional details might help?
it reminds me a bit of Jamie Smart's Bear comics in vibe, which is great... lots of people try to pull off the "random senseless violence is funny!" thing and rarely manage it, they end up coming off pretty lame, but this stuff is great.
I adore the last panel in the drop bear strike comic, with kitten on bear's head.
so yeah, great strip. it made me laugh out loud several times... which almost never happens.
edit... omg fez helmet
Kitten is the little one.
Yeah. I don't draw that well, but come on... :P
Really, I can see where people are coming from with the type. I think I'm getting better about it. It's just that I'm trained to think anything above 7 pt is tacky.
But we're still pretty new and still ironing things out. So thank you for the feedback, it means a lot.

"That would be the 90s. Which is great, because that's when I turned 13. The 90s were a sexy time. It's safe to say I jerked off to every actor on TGIF."
This stuff is great.
Read today's update, still love it.
Haha, best ending line ever!
Some of the comics seem a bit crowded and sometimes text-heavy, but overall it's pretty awesome. To me it's vaguely reminiscent of White Ninja Comics for some reason, but less dumb.
Yep, this is on my list (somewhere). I need to find a version of fontographer that works, first.
I worry that it will lose something though. I dunno. Does anyone have experience with this?
