    Could someone please rename this thread? I just don't want it as what it is at the moment for reasons I've specified in my EDITED original post (go see if you really care).

    Thanks

    It works... I like the SUV poster and I'll work on editing the thread for you. Please specify a title to your liking.

    Thanks for that, but it still comes up when I Google "The Great Adventures of Lol" and "Earl Grey Penitentiary" >__< Rawr. Not good. How do I fix it? >__<

    Lets see though...What have I said on this forum that I'd regret someone reading...*thinks*...Ugh. A couple come to mind, but nothing bad :S Any way to fix this?

    Oh and any comments on the latest comic?

    I like the turn the plot is taking and again, I love the SUV poster shown...

    As for what's being said online and search engines... there's not alot that one can do once information has been harvested by the google bots. Just be careful about what you post and maybe pick friends that you can trust with your most intimate secrets.

    Yeah. I haven't exactly revealed anything dodgy about myself. I mean, I'm gay and most people know it (not my family though, but they'd be fine with it). I've said some pretty dumb/regrettable stuff probably about a year or so ago, but do you think it'd be easy for someone to find those kinds of posts I'd made?

    Well- I wouldn't worry about it too much. I've come to the place in like where if someone is going to judge me harshly about something then they aren't really a friend and by definition I'm not going to put any stock in anything they say or think. Life gets simpler once I learn how not to base my own sense of well being and confidence in someone else's opinion of me.

    An update! Omg. Sorry for the delay, but I've been kinda diseased/doing mid-year exams so I haven't had time to comic.

    Enjoy..

    Thanks. I'm fine now :) Just been busy with exams. The art in that was was pretty damn dodgy, but the fineliner I used to ink it was broken and I guess I just wanted to get an update up there and didn't bother too much with the art :S

    One of the slightly more scary and obscure comments you've left me. :S Sounds like you aren't sure if you liked it or not :p

    Oh no-- I do like... just fascinated with the new characters in the mix and anticipating how the story is to unfold.

    Oh okay, thanks for that. I've come to the realisation that my comic's writing is in fact rather weak. There are too many sex jokes and the characters aren't being all that well developed. I'm going to try fix that up in the coming comics, but it'll take time I suspect

    I imagine that with all else that's keeping you busy, distracted, and entertained that we'll all just have to be patient. I think rounding out your characters is an excellent idea.

    Sorry that there have been so few comics lately. I've been rather distracted by various things.

    So, thanks to my brother and a bit of harsh, but constructive criticism (which I've practically been begging for from everyone), I have come the realisation that my comic is partially balls. First off: Plot. What plot? Secondly: My "jokes". After having it pointed out, I realise that I do have FAR too many stupid sex jokes in this comic. That'll be toned down. And as you can see, my comic has FAR more dialogue in it than usual. I'm probably going to keep it up so my characters can actually develop, rather than just being platforms for bad jokes.

    That is all. More updates later in the week (hopefully).

    PS. Thanks for that comment stinkfoot. I'd actually sincerely appreciate some more serious, but constructive criticism from everyone if that'd be okay. I can take it as long as it is helpful. Much appreciated :) Enjoy! And let me know what you think of the latest scripting style ;)

    No problem.

    The dialog seems a tad long... there's much that the characters are narrating that could easily be acted out/demonstrated or otherwise related without laying out two dimensional data. For example, instead of the sister saying the dad is still the same brutish chauvinistic pig have her relate incidences that illustrate it-- allow your audience to come to some conclusions themselves- draw them into the characters instead of painting pictures for them to see.

    Speech as I've experienced it does not flow in paragraphs- people talk in fragments when conversing and deal with continual interruptions as participants either have trouble following along, need to interject their own opinion, or try to derail the speaker's train of thought.

    Vary font size and boldness to fit the situation. When the driver nearly hit the lawyer (btw- ow could she have known it was a lawyer... people don't generally wear labels) and she tries to get his attention the "uhh... Duke, Duke!" bit cod be epasized more to reflect the degree of panic, "uhh... Duke?-- Duke!"

    Take more time and don't let yourself feel pressed to churn out frames to satisfy us. Go over conversations in your head and ask yourself if they flow naturally or do they sound over written?
