Why did we never post on Falloup Online?

Here's an example of good drawing and funny ideas.

Now that's what I call a boring comic...
Can't take the drawing style. It's simply not funny and looks bad....


Notice something?

Maybe you don't like the style a comic is drawn but that doesn't mean it is bad or something. Your opinion is not an universal truth.
There's a big difference between saying "This is bad." and "I think/ In my opinion, this is bad."

You don't hold the property rights of "good" and "funny".

Yes. You're trying to be smart.

It's not working.

Your point being?

When something's poorly done, it's bad. Not everything is subjective to one's individual judgement; especially when you're talking about artwork.

Did I claim I held them? No.

Kthx.
 
I liked Falloup -of course not all of them- but I saw the jokes more aimed at MMO's than toward RPG's in general and FO specifically.(even if the basis is FOOL)
So it's a satire toward what such a game would be and it's more or less all that FO isn't...

Well, thats simply wrong. Everything is subjective to one's individual judgement. Well, perhaps not maths or historical facts or something like that.

But art(-work) certainly is. You can't point at a picture (no matter what kind of picture, as long as it is considered art) and say its drawn "good" or "bad". You can say it's more detailed or has a more realistic look about it, etc...

Bullshit.

Yes, you can. One can judge the quality of any given product/work as long as you have a clue about the subject.

Which you obviously lack, and try your uber-cliche'd Bullshit Apologetic Speak, which I've heard zillions of times, every time a 1st year newbie at the art academy tries to hide his complete lack of drawing skill.

Everything is subjective to one's individual judgement. Well, perhaps not maths or historical facts or something like that.

Brah-vo, yet another clueless moron who thinks Art (and in this case, comic Art) lacks any kind of canon and criteria as to what is judged "good" or "bad". That kind of attitude was fun in the 60's and 70's, when you could take a dump in a tin can and call it "art", but things evolve.

Newsflash: When an author can't draw for sour apples, a work of art based on his drawing is bad.

It's as if I presumed myself to be a good carpenter, and with my absolute lack of skill in choosing, working and shaping wood made a really shitty chair. One leg shorter than the other, weak legs, splintery wood, breaks as soon as someone sits down, et cetera.

Following your logic, it wouldn't just be a piece of shit chair. Nonono, ladies and gentlemen. It'd be a *subjective* thing to call the thing good or bad, and labelling it in any way good or bad "in general" would end this delicious and innocent frolick in discovering a trueley beautifulle worke of artte, and turn into brutally raping Every Individual's Opinion.

It's the same fucking thing with artwork. Unless you think Goya and a frustrated 60-year old hag from Louisiana drawing Bayou Landschafts in bright pastel colors are at the same level. In which case, you're a complete clueless moron and I'm really wasting my time writing this.

Anyway!

This is a semi-regular, satirical, *amateurish* webcomic, for chrissakes. Unless the author wants to make a living from drawing/writing comics, he doesn't need to work a lot on drawing. He doesn't need the comic to be called "well-drawn". He just has to work on his jokes, to make the thing work. See: Ctrl-Alt-Del.

But purtay puhlease, don't say it's well-drawn when it ain't. Every time you say that, one of your brain cells die.
 
The AIDS comic was legitimately funny.

I think the author just needs to find his pace. It's got potential, but he's still sussing things out. And I think targeting him for "bad art" is below the belt. You can tell what he's drawing, and there's no confusion. Something more stylized would be nice, but as things stand the art is good enough.
 
Oh man, just caught the Petey comic, haha. Funny stuff.
The comic guy sure knows the way to every Fallout fans heart, good old Pete Hines. Where would we be without him!
