    It must suck to live in Europe with that humor.

    It's the non-plot comics that are lame.
    Like, totally!
    How could comedy strips compare to the SueEllen/Tommy afair in ComicStrip1? I swear MaryJane was totally jealous of her!

    What do you think?!

      A book is a glorified soap opera. How is it different?

      The reason it is different because once the story ends, it ends. You can go through the story in one sitting. It is self-contained. In the case of Electric Sheep, even the visual style differs wildly from comic to comic: compare Saturnalia, Apocamon, Shapeshifter, , and Overheard @ the Rave. When I Am King has no names for its characters, no text at all. It is all visual.

      Sure, if you're the kind of person that doesn't read for pleasure beyond poorly-written comedy books, who prefers Naked Gun to Citizen Kane, who would rather listen to Britney than Tom Waits, go ahead. Stay bored.

        Personally, I prefer humorous plot-comics.

          Stefu, is Red Meat the really violent one?

            Red Meat isn't particularily violent. It's just twisted. Parking Lot is Full is quite violent. And even more twisted. Too bad it's over.

              A good book does not usually come in regular installments and does not feature shallow characters and plots that people love to feel intellectual about while trying to analyze them.

              The vast majority of plot-comics are near-daily installments of the same old **** over and over again. The fanbase of said comics are amusing to me, because they don't realize they're reading a stylized soap opera.

              I don't read for pleasure, period. Only books I read are technical books.

              And I didn't like Naked Gun or Citizen Kane.

              I don't like "stories" as most people tend to do. There's no real point to them as I see it.

                  Could it be?

                  Have we got the writer of the 'Planet of the Apes' re-make right here on Apolyton?

                    same old **** over and over again.

                      No, no, no. These comics are not regularly updated. They are finished articles. The characters do not follow from series to series.

                      The vast majority of plot-comics are near-daily installments of the same old **** over and over again. The fanbase of said comics are amusing to me, because they don't realize they're reading a stylized soap opera.
                      Again, I don't like the near-daily ones. This really is a pathetic troll.

                        Who was a great comedian for those into farces.



                        Having fun describing Penny Arcade?
                        First you say it has no plot, then you're saying the plot is the same over and over?

                        Is this Finnish logic?

                        And of course Penny Arcade has shallow characters. The thing is, they don't pretend otherwise! There's no storyline to it.

                              I'm not talking about you -- I'm talking about the majority of plot comics online.

                              Just don't think you're superior for being one of those pseudo-intellectuals who enjoys reading crap for the sake of reading.

                                Actually, I really enjoyed Carrey's performances in the Truman Show and Man on the Moon. The latter in particular was a damn fine performance.
