Argentenoboy's possibly failed attempt at funnies

Argentenoboy · 11-22-2011, 08:08 PM

Notes:

Yes, the plan i mention is going to be the plan for the comics

I am planing on switching bodies if I don't get used to this one. My ideas are a Mega Bloks ODST, a Mcfarline Elite Officer, A Barakai (if I ever get one) or a Reveltech Jurassic Park T-Rex (Again, If I get one)

I find it interesting that when I looked at Ratchet, WFC Megatron and Shockwave, the way the head was molded on the figure makes it look like I'm realy angry

Not a bad start, already pointing out what people could be making a big fuzz about. XD

I hope people have recovered well from their turkey comas. To make up for the lack of turkey they have now, UPDATE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Notes:

I hope it's ok to use that joke. In the movie, the joke did involve buying 4 Pounds of nuts but...yeah

The Elite officer was annoying to get to stand. CURSE YOU ROUNDED FEET!!!

Not sure if anyone will notice but I GOT A NEW GUN . It's a gun from the bionicle Phantoka Toas, but filled with blue rounds from the Inika Blasters

"What just happened?"

Kung Pow, huh? I remember seeing that movie. It was ungodly stupid, but hilarious. "At that moment, the Chosen One learned a valuable lesson about Iron Claws: THEY HURT LIKE CRAP, MAN!"

Interesting comic, looks like you are off to a good start.

My suggestion (and it is my suggestion to everyone that starts a comic) is to select a panel limit and stick with it. You'll find when you limit yourself to a certain number of panels, you force yourself to tighter up the comic and thus the jokes become more refined.

I personally like the 4 panel set up (1st panel is for introduction of the characters and setting/reminder of the story arc; 2nd panel is for joke buildup/the joke itself; 3rd panel is for the joke/reaction (if you did the joke in panel 2); 4th panel is for the punchline to the joke). A 3 panel set up works ok, but I feel it constricts too much. Anything about 5 I think is asking for trouble, myself, but others make it work fine (Grimlock 13 and weeklyhero, for example).

(sorry to go rambling on there...I've actually considered writing a thread about comedy writing, as I got my degree in communications with a minor in writing and I have years of experience writing parody, satire, comics, and political cartoons).

I'm going to try and follow Mr. Chaos's advice and try to make it at least 4-5 pannels a comic unless the comic is really big for a purpous
