Digital Double Reviewed!
Well, it seems the fine folks over at SmackJeeves have decided to review my comic. In a nutshell, they lauded the artwork and design (which I thought sucked) and criticised the writing (which I also thought sucked). Here's the full review: http://smacktalk.smackjeeves.com/04-digitaldouble. Now for my take on things.
One criticism they mention is A Comic for All Peoples where my counterpart says that the comic is "too deep for a person of average intelligence." This was actually something devusb mentioned when talking about the 2001-WTF?!. Of course, this leads to their other big complaint which is too many in-jokes. This is one of the reasons I switched formats, the other being I find it easier to write more story-like stuff as opposed to the gag-a-day I had been shooting for. Maybe I should employ the use of a writer.
As said above, I am the first to admit that my writing usually sucks pretty bad. For starters, any comic bearing the name F5 is going to suck. These comics suck. Most everything else is pretty "meh" with the exception of a few.
Their final comment in the cons section about "being doomed to obscurity" I've pretty much comed to terms with. There are many people doing this that are a thousand times better at it than I. I've just been using it as a creative and emotional outlet and that's probably all it will continue to be. If fame comes with it, cool, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
