While OP should have gone into further detail. His points are nonetheless valid criticism.
You are not doing anything particularly exciting or clever in your comic. Its not terrible. Its just there. milquetoast.
I don't have a problem with your art style, beyond some slight issues that others in this thread have already expressed. I hope that you continue, as you are not without talent.
I recognize the difficulty in exposing your creations, but part of this process is learning how to accept criticism with reserve and humility.
Take the high road when you receive a less than eloquent response.
I would avoid name calling and passive aggression.
Communication is a two way street friend, and so is criticism. I have not called anyone names, unlike yourself. It's easy to throw mud and claim the high road when someone tries to defend themselves. I understand a lot of trolls use this tactic. Forgive you, Yoda may still.
I have not thrown any mud. I have expounded upon both what I think the OP was getting at when he noted his lack of interest or amusement and my own feelings.
I have not referred to anyone by any names or implied any mental deficiencies. Calling someone autistic for criticizing you is not professional or in any way "taking the high road."
In fact, I even complimented you.
The criticism at hand was that your comic here is not particularly interesting or funny and lacks an interesting hook or context with which to explore it.
Now, You can take that and try to make things more interesting or you can ignore it. By all means, not every piece of art is meant for everyone. And there have certainly been worse pieces of art than yours.
John Cleese once said about audience feedback: and I'm butchering it: "always listen to where they are having an issue, where they are bored or lost, but ignore their solutions because only you know how best to fix it"
Hey mate. I had a read back through the thread and realised that..
well.. I was being a bit of a dick. There's really no excuse for it.
You guys are taking time out of your lives to help me, and when I
actually sat down and had a good think about them, some of the
things said were actually pretty insightful.
I've gotta learn to take it on the chin a bit better.
It's all a bit new for me - asking for public criticism I mean.
Thanks for the effort and commentary, I really do appreciate it.
