The art sucks.
The characters look absurd. Their limbs are too thick, their feet are too short, their hands are weird-shaped with fat fingers and five digits each. Every character's left eye seems to be the exact same size as the right. And their heads are all bizzar, non-circular shapes. It isn't even consistant: one character's head is shaped completely different from another's!
And what, pray tell, are those rediculous protrusions in the middle of their faces??
Horrible. Jamie Noguchi, go back to art school.

Re: The art sucks.
Uh, hopefully you're being sarcastic. In case you're not, you don't have to watch the comic if you don;t like it.

Re: The art sucks.
Either this was sarcasm and brilliant, or just... err... brilliant.
In case it isn't clear, see the last panel of this comic:

To the OP:
your post is ALSO brilliant! This whole thread is brilliant!

Re: The art sucks.
ROFL! Nice one, Hydro. And here I thought it was gonna be a troll post, from the title.
It's just too bad I didn't think of it first... :(Google query for the Giant's posts, for those of us who think they're way more interesting than yet another speculation thread but don't have time to read every thread on the forum to find one he's posting in.

Re: The art sucks.
Yea, misscommunications happen. No big deal.
I personally didn't even think the wink-smiley should be necessary, but I suppose one can never be completely sure whether a post is completely in fun or half-serious.

Re: The art sucks.
Yeah thats one thign that always bugged me about communicating via text, it's normally near impossible to distinguish between sarcasm and seriousness.
Church: "Thanks for the support Griff, way to be a team player"
Griff: "Hey I gotta think about myself here"
Church: "There's no 'I' in team Griff"
Griff: "Yeah, well there's no 'u' either, so I guess if I'm not on the team, and your not on the team, nobodies on the god damn team! The team sucks!"

Re: The art sucks.
While I must admit that I don't find the art aesthetically pleasing, I think it is done intentionally: you can see a lot of skill in what's being done, and it seems pretty clear that a lot of those decisions on aesthetics were likely quite intentional.
My speculation is that it was done purposely to give a certain level of discomfort, and to also set it aside visually

Re: The art sucks.
I admit that I wasn't sure at first whether the first post was sarcastic. Probably because I wasn't familiar with the original poster.

Re: The art sucks.
You mean the line about the 'ridulous protusions in the middle of their faces' didn't give it away?

Re: The art sucks.
Yeah the smiley should have definetively give it away, not to mention "five digits" and "different head shapes"...Shall I really disgrace myself and admit that I still needed to read the thread and reread the original post to get it?
But taking that in account- your thread succeeded exactly
But it's sometimes really hard to get sarcasm on a written text when you don't have nonverbal signs - and not being an english native makes it not easier. So nobel prize for the one inventing the smilies.Last edited by faerwain; 2006-12-09 at 04:45 PM. Reason: Darn spelling

Re: The art sucks.
Man your Nick and signature tell that you have humour sense... It's obviously sarcastic
He got it wrong, easy enough to do with sarcasm on the internet, no need to jump him.Last edited by Spiryt; 2006-12-09 at 04:45 PM.

Re: The art sucks.
I'm so confused.... who's being sarcastic and who isn't?

Re: The art sucks.
Sarcasm can be a great gift or dangerous enemy. In this case it was just plain funny.

Re: The art sucks.
well I don't like the art either and saying 'then just don't read it' is annoying as well... it was a new thing to the website so im sure alot of people read it and didnt enjoy something about it , or else they loved it... I for one was disappointed and will take stick figures over the new comic anyday

Re: The art sucks.
The internet can only convey Hatred. Any other attempt to show an emotion leads to vague, incomprehensible, verb-noun agreement; melt lions.
