DDR comic, with other humorous topics as well...

Sheenaza

My cousin has a webcomic that occasionally mentions DDR, and I found the one from Monday June 16 especially amusing... enjoy.

Right. It half-loaded and I Xed it. If I can't read the writing, I doubt it's going to amuse me.

cute drawings... and I like the idea but yeah, she should be more careful with the fonts she uses

and maybe adjusting the scans so the pencil lines are darker will make it easier to appreciate too... it's all kinda fuzzy/airbrushy-- but that's just my $0.02

It's not as bad as 10K Commotion. I only wasted 1 minute reading that comic, while i spent 30 minutes waiting for 10K Commotion to get good.

Also, some of the grammer is just as bad, and non-Japanese speakers won't be able to read the UNTRANSLATED Japanese writing any better than they could have read the poorly chosen font in this comic.

Syxx Pac... leave the 10K Commotion alone! The art and storyline of that comic is fabulous! And Makoto is just amazing! If you can draw and write stories like hers, let's see it... until then, respect your superiors!

But, about this comic... it was kinda... lame.

But hey, with work, it could be good. Listen to Makoto's advice, she's very wise.

Also... the whole "I'm this song," "You're like this, or I like that," just didn't really do anything for me. No

, just

so get either better scripts or better humor, and definately better writing, and it would be good.

I fail to see why someone is superior to me just because they can DRAW BETTER.

I never said anything bad about the art anyway.

The story is stupid, but I can see how someone is so blown away by the art that they don't realize it.

I really like your cousin's drawing style. It's simplistic, yet stylish. I love the paint job on the characters.

Just a few friendly suggestions:

As a few people have said, though, it is a bit hard to read.

Also, I find it a bit hard to navigate. Maybe your friend could write a script that shows the name of the comic above the comic? And an introduction page would be super (because otherwise, we have no idea what the whole webcomic's theme is).

There's my webcomic.

Sorry it's in bmp but I have a limited choice of software.

And it's geocities, so of course you have to copy/paste into web address bar.

It would've been better if the charcter with the odd writing said funnier things. LoM shoulda said something funnier too. And it isn't spelled Legend of Maxx.

Sheenaza

I'll pass on the constructive criticism to the artist.

All the chars in the comic have specific fonts that have something to do with their characters or personalities, I've just gotten so used to them I can read it pretty well... I read the comic with hand-written text first, though, so meh.

There's rarely ever a storyline with this comic, it's pretty much randomness. Ah well, those of ya that liked it, have fun with it, and maybe read the rest!
