This is the 3rd sprite comic series I've done. Alot of the sprites I'm using for this comic were customized by a whole bunch of talented people that I do plan on giving credit to, but was in a hurry when I made the comics so never bothered to just in case anybody wants to know. Anyways, tell me what you think of it so far.

Your jokes are bad, you resize sprites poorly, you use sprites of different bittages, your and...

Meh. I'm tired of this. At first watching you guys fail at making sprite comics was kinda fun, but now it's just getting repetitive. People at this forum usually make the same mistakes and I'm tired of wasting my time pointing them out when no one listens to me anyway.

meh, ignore that guy ^. I think your comics are off to a really great start. There have some pretty good sprites, decent jokes and a very promising storyline. The only advice I have is to stop resizeing the sprites and try putting them as there real bitage. Other wise I really liked these comics. better than any other beginer ones Ive ever seen.

and as for Glyph, stop whining about your snobby standards and keep your idiotic crap to yourself. None of us enjoy you whining and complaining with your ridiculously annoying posts so just shut up!

^^ You should just have a sig that says the same thing whenever someone posts a comic.

^ You think Glyph is harsh? Check out Screw These Comics! Evil Nes will have you crying before the screw is done. Glyph is trying to enforce better comic making skills. If you suck, try to improve.

Today is your lucky day, Aqsol. If you actually cared to read my above post, I have decided to... as you put it... "shut up".

Well, the whole resizing thing bugged me too, but I wasn't sure how it would go over. Now that I know other people feel the same way, I'll make a note of it. And, yeah, I know the jokes aren't A+ material, but I wasn't really aiming for them to be A+ material. Just stuff people can read and maybe smirk at.Anyways, thanks for your comments Aqsol & Luigi.. I appreciate the constructive criticism.

You know before you posted this me and Glyph had a AIM conversation about hacking Super Mario World and call it "Super Joe World" Where SuperMarioClock would get a shotgun and blow all the enemys brain's out.....So when I went on this topic I though that Glyph posted it but oh well.

Anyway, you use a lot of M&L Super Star Saga backgrounds, and you mix 3-D Sprites and 2-D sprites together that make it look kinda bad. But your just starting out right now and actually some of these jokes are pretty funny. If you just stop mixing sprites andstop resizing them I think you might a have a decent comic going on.

Well, I don't know about no more mixing different sprites together since there's so many different characters created in so many different formats, but I have stopped resizing the sprites. I do resize some backgrounds though, for dialouge purposes. Anyways, click this thumbnail for the next one:


EDIT: I got rid of the JPG version.

^ People with modems such as Glyph would prefer it.

It's great you stopped resizing sprites, but just change the panel sizes for backrounds. Though it needs developement, I like your sense of humor.
And please give credit to the people who made those sprites.

Hey, I only prefer it over .BMP. And even then, it's the unoptimized sort that I don't like... The kind that uses .jpg compression yet keeps its relative color scheme. I really don't think that me not having a high-speed connection has much to do with it... except for the .bmp part, but does anyone like .bmps for internet transfer?

Thanks for the input guys. I addded a credits list in my first post, so I hope that's a good enough gesture of thanks for the people who made the customized sprites. And Tigt, thanks for telling me how to makes the bgs bigger without stretching them out. I should've thought of that earlier, but I'm slow so I was in need of somebody telling me how to do it.

Your comics are really improving! I thought it was funnier when the Bulbax was chasing the Pikimin. I reminded me of the end of each day when you would leave the pikimin and suddenly CRUNCH! its no more.

Thanks for your comment Aqsol and everybody else. However; I'm worried about this next one that I'm posting, I think that anybody who even has a drop of faith in this sprite comic, might change their mind after reading this one. Why? Because I resized a few sprites * I know! It's a bad idea*, the bgs are SNES bgs, but look outdated, their are some references to stuff that I think might go over some people's heads, and I've heard it's a bit hard to understand, but I'll post it anyway and you guys provide the constructive criticism or bashing. XD Click the thumbnail:

Sorry, I fixed the link. Here it is again so you guys won't have to go back a page:

Whatever you were smoking, Pacmanimator, when you made that last comic... never again.

Well, I would've wanted a bit more replies before posting the next one, but I'll post it anyways. I don't think this one will weird out Glyph as much as the last one. I kind of wanted the last one to be fast-paced and weird since it had WarioWare characters in it, not sure if it turned out like that, but oh well.

Anywho, this one probably raises more questions than answers for perfectionists, like " How come Spot didn't gradually turn black and white?", but the story I originally had in mind for it kind of changed as I kept going and the final result was what you just read if you clicked the thumbnail.
