It’ll Work If I Believe
January 2, 2009
Happy new year, all.
UGGGGGGHHHH this comic took much longer than it should have thanks to a fuse blowing in my room halfway through. Save your Photoshop files, kids!
MY TWEETY TWOTES- Hey everyone. My big comic climax has gotten even bigger, so expect a THREE-ROW job on THURSDAY. Sketches on Tuesday to tide you over, tho

This comic isn’t terribly funny.
It’s like a mediocre newspaper comic with a few bleeped out curse words and indirect sexual references, just to keep things “edgy for the web generation”.
Sorry, try again on a harder difficulty setting.
Ouch, man. I’m tryin’. I hope you give me another chance, but it seems like you’ve made up your mind already. I agree that the strips I’ve put up seem “newspapery”, but that’s how I learned to write ‘em, and I’m learning how to make my humor more, uh, “internet”? If that makes sense? You can’t please ‘em all, I guess. If you don’t like me, just move on. I’m not forcing you to read.
I think that’s a bit of a harsh judgement. I like the comic; the style of the humour and art, newspapery vibes or not. Whatever those may be.
I disagree, Kevin. I think there is a lot of potential here. It’s certainly well drawn and colored. Give the characters a chance to find their voices.
My two cents is to make Herman look a bit less weird. It’s a distraction (at least to me). He’s supposed to be a superstar athlete, not zippy the pinhead.
Eh, that’s more of a problem of me drawing him since I was nine. He’ll probably smooth out and reconcile with the rest of my style a bit as I go along.
Oh hey kevin guess what your mom called…she says your an idiot… this comic is awesome keep up the great work Alex
I agree with Brett–I think the art is really good on all the characters except for Herman.
They’re all good characters, and the art isn’t a worry. At all.
Ignore the naysayers. If you want to make them all stick figures that’s cool by me.
woah, third poster, i think your parents have a good taste in nick names
I think the strip has potential, nothing about it wows me exactly but you are still finding your voice. The premise is a bit thin but once again you could go somewhere with it given time.
And for a previous commentor, not sure why but that “your mom called” that was good, just lame enough to be ironically funny.
try not making the characters intentionally ugly
there’s a reason everyone on tv is pretty or at least passable
it’s because it makes them more entertaining to look at
can the damn dad at least get a haircut
also, interesting things happening would be nice
so what they are ugly?
it makes the comic more humorous and interesting.
this isn’t tv, it’s the internet and it’s a comic.
everyone on the internet can be really good looking or really ugly and still entertaining.
look at any comic, most of the time the main characters won’t be good looking, though there will be other characters who are. thats where the hilarity comes from.
though Herman could probably do with a haircut.
Lol i just realized i spelled nunchuk wrong in all my other comments
I kind of like the newspaper style… this is truly fantastic so far for something I’ve just stumbled onto from a (rather interesting) banner ad.
Full marks: interesting art, engaging characters, some semblance of story continuity, and most importantly, actually made me laugh. Would recommend to friends.
Also, I admire your openness to criticism, especially when someone is an overly-blunt prick about it.
