www.Slamdumb.com has a rare treat: two comics in one week... GASP!
Now, these two comics actually require knowing what's going on in the NBA to "get", but if you do in fact understand them, feel free to compliment me on how amazingly creative the Phoenix Suns one is. I'm damn proud of it.
Comment away, folks.

Can you make a comic about sandwiches please?
I'll set up a general one then, whenever I post the next one...
Nope. That is, unless there is a way to change the title of the thread. You're gonna have to deal with me making more than one... good luck, buddy. Hopefully, the server won't explode. :-P
Didn't know you could do that... thanks.
You still have the same problems as you had with the last one, though.
Honestly man, you're not a bad writer, and your artist isn't horrible either, he just needs to get a better line weight and drop the photoshop effects.
Having said that, inside humor about a sport that isn't followed by nearly enough people to be mainstream isn't going anywhere. Do a comic called slam dumb, and make it about a fictional team, have characters, and character development, and stories, and arcs, instead of just one liners based from the ESPN website.
also this:
this is a dick response. If you're not going to take the time to learn how forum buttons work and do things the way the community has set up, then don't make smartass remarks when the community calls you out on it. Yes, the server probably won't explode, but it's kind of hard to get art crits on your comic when you're banned.
You've already been told how to do this by forbe but you can also edit your original post and access the title of this thread from there. In other words, there's no reason for you to even attempt to be a dick because you only come across as an ignorant twat. Keep that in mind the next time you try to pretend that you're brilliant.
It really was, but this bridge was already crossed. Re: the comic you pretty much summed up my thoughts on it. Too niche can be a dangerous thing. Art isn't horrible (though definitely needs work, especially on action and motion which would be quite critical to this) and the writing isn't bad, but how many injuries and trades can you joke about before it gets stale?
Regarding making the comic about an original property rather than just focus on NBA news... that's a rather different approach... though it also makes it more like a PA sort of endeavor. But who knows what direction the comic will go in the future.
I think the NBA audience is large enough that we just need to attract it. Depending on what city you live in, you either get a feel for it or you don't. In central Ohio it's all college sports, so the NBA is barely on the radar. But visit San Antonio during the playoffs, and you'll see black Spurs jerseys on every other person.
And there's more than just trades and injury to comment on ^_^ Did you know that this weekend they're actually doing a "redo" of the last 50-some seconds of a game because the officials screwed up last time?
i've started actually paying attention to basketball since i'm working on a basketball game and all
and they're still not funny
so rest assured, it's not a lack of basketball knowledge that's making these dumb.
