The Quiescent Period Before the Shitstorm, Pt. 2A of 3

[madmanatwork]

[Editor's Note: I intended to review three webcomics for Pt. 2 of this series, but this one turned out to be so long, I figured I'd break it up into multiple parts of its own; therefore, you have "Part 2A" of a three part series. Also, due to the length, I threw it behind a cut, as I'm trying to observe proper "El Jay Etiquette," now.]

That kinda makes me sad, because I enjoy the absurdity of the comic, rather than what the title says it is. Really, they should change the title of their comic to 'random gaming shit' because that's really what it is.
I suppose I enjoy it for what it is, which is just a purely observational comic meant for absurdity rather than having any substance. But I suppose I went into it thinking it wasn't going to be very deep in the first place.

I agree with you on the art style, I think that's what makes alot of it funny in the first place. It actally kind of reminds me a little of your style, except not as detailed, the same bold lines and sketchyness.

I...don't know where I was going with this but oh well, that's my opinion. Whee.

Addendum

Yeah, I wanted to like this comic, I really did. I just... didn't. It occurs to me that I actually forgot to mention the other bias I have in relation to Punks and Nerds: I have a short attention span for purely absurd gags. I actually stopped reading Superosity awhile back because, while the style is enjoyable, I just… can only take so much pointlessness in my daily diet of comicry.

I can't help it, I have a hard-on for heavy, complex story. I kind of feel like if you're going to immortalise something in story or comic form, then it should be more than just goofy, silly slapstick. There only ever needs to be one Three Stooges series. It should, at least, contain poignant or insightful observations about something, I think. Have a message of some kind. That's just my opinion, though; I could be Wrong
