A new forum tale is afoot. Written and drawn (with the use of sprites) entirely by me. Each issue will be posted throughout this thread and on the first post. Feel free to give me advice on the next 'stage' although I may well not listen to it. Requests are welcome, but again, may be ignored. ENJOY!

Still no real comments so I'll wait for a few more before Issue 2.

Actually, I think everyone else is following my approach of 'wait for more before judging'. That's usually what happens around here.

Yes well, I quite obviously know that and will add them in for Issue 3 :cool: Any more general comments?

Nice idea. I'm liking the way the plot started. Possibly a little more work on drawing (Colours mostly, try not to use such garish ones =P) would go a long way

Ok, the true story is about to begin and I need a character to join the duo. Lots of people have requested and I may just choose one from that list. ORRR I may choose the next person to post a request (regardless of whether they have already requested or not).....but we shall see..

Back to that last issue, it was certainly better than the last two. But you're still missing decent final punchlines at the end of the issues.

Well..you weren't but meh. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS THE WAY I AM GOING TO DO IT.... But...If it is the way I do this, robowurmz will be the third main character. There will be plenty of cameos and they shall be picked as and when..
I am going to write Issue 4 tonight so I guess all is left to say is....
...Watch this space...

Um... where did their faces go in the last two frames? Or am I missing something?
And the "expressions" are still the default ones...

Oh dear....You are missing something....a piece of your brain. No, they are facing the mountains. I never said the expressions would not be default ones - just different to the original "mindless grin" faces.

Oh, and thanks for the main role too.

Well, it's better than the jokes getting slowly worse I suppose:p The joke was a bit of a guess but I hope it worked out ok. And FYI - you have the SECOND main role :p

Ok, I'm in the middle of writing Issue 5 but need a sort of dumb character and am not sure who to cast the role to. Mr Bunsy would be an obvious choice but maybe is a bit middle of the road. Anyone wish to volunteer?
Oh I also need a ringleader..

I request to be in any, but preferably all, of those positions! :D

Mmm, this kinda reminds me of my own comic. Especially with Mr. Bunsy being an idiot. Funny how he gets those roles. >_>
This has some potential. Do keep it up.

Is Zero's helmet ok? Quite hard to draw anything decent when the sprites are that small and I'm using Paint.

One suggestion, the black text is quite difficult to see against the blue sky. Maybe if the text box was filled white it would be easier to read?

Meh, I don't really write them for a particularly 'wide' audience. As Twoapenny said, they're more for our kind of humour. Besides, most people seem to like them.
Oh and cunning post edit btw.

3 things wrong:
1: Zeor never changes expression.
2: The bubbles in the trail from a thought bubble should be circular and they should all be equal size.
3: Part of Zeor's helmet should DEFINITELY not be transparent half-way through!
