Someone needs to teach the VG Cats guy how a comic strip actually fucking works. He just doesn't get it. There's meant to be a setup, then a punchline. That's it. Short and quick. As it stands here, the punchline is a pea dying. That just isn't funny.

Scratch what I said.

He knows how comics work, he just isn't funny.

I actually liked this one a good bit. Most of his other stuff is ****, though.

What are you talking about? The last 3 frames are hilarious!

Maybe if the peas were labeled "NWR Staff" it'd be funny.

What the hell is this "we" ****? Weren't these the same GC-haters last gen? And now they wanna get back in the club now that it got popular? I know I don't want my opinion lumped in with Scott Ramaslamadingdong's.

And where's the JOKE of this comic? Wait maybe the joke IS the comic, and how poor it is.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 31, 2008, 01:57:41 AM »

The reason the comic isn't funny is because the author and artist wanted to express his 'rage' towards Nintendo rather than to make a funny comic.

This is something I've picked in not just web comics but comedy in general. Sometimes comedians and writers let their personal feelings rule over their works, and sometimes it just ruins the joke.

In other words, there's a difference between making a witty observation and making a statement.

Scott chose to make a statement and tried to disguise it as humor.

On another note, am I the ONLY one annoyed at his art style? He overuses the same comedic expressions (HUGE eyes with maniac grins and such). It doesn't matter which character he is drawing, the expression is the same.

Why'd you suddenly switch over to talking about Ctrl+Alt+Del?

I prefer Castle Vidcons' humor -- and they don't have to rely on facial expressions!

Neither does XKCD. But Yahtzee over at Zero Punctuation did a nice review of web comics in general, I guess.

You guys are all so strange; especially you pap.

It's SATIRE. The point he's making is so obvious that it reveals another.

I good Web Comic about E3 was from Penny Arcade, which showed the Microsoft Press Conference, Sony's and Nintendo's...it made basically the same point, but was infinitely funnier.

The problem with this comic...is that it is LOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooNG winded for its point.

It uses like 6-8 panels to tell us something it could have done in 3 or at most 4. And it hurts the humor, because you just are waiting for the point.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #17 on:** July 31, 2008, 07:22:51 PM »

What is the point of using the vegetables besides, well, um using vegetables? I see no real relation to the point. You could put any characters into this with the same dialog and it would fit.

The length is part of the joke. You're waiting; the peas are waiting. It's the title of the comic, for crying out loud.

It's a running gag of sorts. It started here, I believe.

Not to mention that there are TOO MANY webcomics about Nintendo's E3 phailure.

I understand its the hottest topic right now, but all the jokes have been made and its time to move on.

Maverick · « **Reply #21 on:** August 01, 2008, 02:01:26 AM »

Penny Arcade already nailed E3 this year. There is no reason for any other comic in existence to refer to it.

Shift Key · « **Reply #22 on:** August 02, 2008, 12:19:12 AM »

Agreed. He need to go back and so dome more Transformers comics

Maverick · « **Reply #23 on:** August 02, 2008, 02:22:30 AM »

Lil Formers had the TF comic gig sewn up as well until the guy decided to switch to "any pop culture icon I damn well please" instead of just Transformers.

LOL Penny Arcade dealt with Crystal Chronicles in a much better way too. "And I dont have any firends so I'm gunna have to buy 3 hookers to play with"
