2. I must be a nut cause I actually like the .....They're like a Salvador ...
..Dali painting.

BUT if you truly want a great comic then "Rose is Rose" is wonderful.

8. Sorry. Very weak.
Puny Goth high school kid weak.

I read the captions, but in my head I'm hearing, "Nobody understands my deep resentment of people who are having more fun than me, therefore I will pretend I'm a very deep and troubled soul by photoshopping these old war photos and covering it with vacuous bullshit."

11. Ambiguity, lazy visuals and puerile references... whee
Talent, in writing or visual arts--preferably both, makes good comics. These display neither and therefore aren't interesting.

12. I am not feeling any love here

Where is the love?

I am so totally voting for George W. Bush now and it is ALL YOUR FAULT.

Enjoy Canada,

13. oh, sorry, well then let me make it perfectly clear...
The "cartoons" are nothing more than bad photoshopping mixed with a dark "starving artist" approach with dialouge that seems like it was conceived by a high school student starving for attention (or, as in most public schools now, a suspension). I've seen more original stuff squeezed out of the ass of a Hot Topic mall-goth, which apparently is the target audience.

16. Do you think you can help?
I was just telling Zillno the other day that what we really need is some random guy from a webforum who has a good sense for "comedy excellence" to tell us how to make The Outer Burrows better. Since thus far your every post has been hillarious (and also rad skull and pentagram!), I think you may be the guy!

So, please give us some more feedback because we really do want to make a quality product. Do you think maybe you could co-write some of the comics with us? If so, could you post some suggestions here? You have a good sense of the absurd and we really could use some pointers. If you're more of the Photoshop guy, maybe we could post some ideas here and you could do them. Whatever works for you. We really do appreciate you helping out.

Love,

15. Sorry, bb, this does nothing for me ....
... for real visual/verbal fireworks I'll stick to The Boondocks, Doonesbury, Get Fuzzy, Tom The Dancing Bug, Tom Tomorrow etc. etc. etc.

20. Would profound, artsy and surreal be better?
Dear JCCyC,

Not sure I understand what it is you want but, as always, we are eager to please. Can you write or maybe illustrate something artsy, profound and surreal for us? Any help would be appreciated!

Love,

PS That's a pretty excellent set of quotes you have there, guy.

21. Sorry for the harsh words, it just didn't go well with my tastebuds
No point trying to change that. I guess I learned a lesson: be kind, the artist may be around. Next time I'll just say "Didn't like it one bit, not my style." Says the same thing without insulting.

(tucks head in hole in ground out of shame)
