Helping the Idiot
I feel really stupid, but I must confess that of late a lot of Erfworld hasn't been that funny to me. I got the first jokes just fine, and they got a chuckle or two, but lately I haven't been able to find many (the out-and-back trip and Stanley's comment in the last panel of 72 I did spot, along with some incongruities with the world, but not real humor). If there's a rule against posting explanations, okay, then could someone please PM me. I like the idea and the story, but I'm not laughing.
Sincerely, the four of us
<--Wait, what are you doing here?

Re: Helping the Idiot
There haven't been as many funny bits lately, but that's to be expected as the dramatic tension ratchets up. We're now on the threshold of a decision point (Jillian either attacks the wounded dwagons, or moves on past) that might determine the outcome of this battle.

Re: Helping the Idiot
Is there something in particular that you don't get? Erfworld's not really about laugh-a-minute gags. It's more about storytelling and the unfolding of the characters and the battle. The humour lies in the artwork and the parodies of popular culture and the neat and sometimes obscure references that are thrown into the mix.

Re: Helping the Idiot
I know it's different, and I like it as a drama with a somewhat funny setting, but I haven't really laughed of late and I'm wondering if it's me or the comic. I just feel I'm missing something here and I want to know what.
