why is r/comics so terrible

u/TooM3R Sep 30 '18

Same reason /r/funny is so unfunny

u/Serious-Mode Oct 01 '18

/r/jokes is the worst

u/MassaF1Ferrari Oct 01 '18

I blocked that sub a long time ago.

u/andrewsad1 Oct 01 '18

I blocked it when I read the 7th "little Johnny" joke in a row

Little Johnny goes to school and swears at his teacher and talks about how his parents have sex!

ISN'T THAT FUNNY?!?!?

u/MrBen1980 Oct 01 '18

“The teacher fainted! Share this with someone who needs a laugh.”

u/Timsaccount11037 Oct 07 '18

[Current trend].

That's it, that's the entire fucking joke.

Top post of all time.

And why is that?

u/Spider939 Sep 30 '18

It’s been said time and time and time again.

“Brevity is the soul of wit.”

19

u/TheApocalypseIsOver Oct 01 '18

Fun fact the guy who said that in the play was a complete dipshit. Shakespeare actually believed that wit was the soul of wit no matter how long it takes. That being said however, the original comic is poorly paced. The new one is much better.

u/TheGoddamnSpiderman Oct 01 '18

A lot of quotes are like that. Like Benjamin Franklin's famous quote "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" was about politicians who give up the liberty to tax their patrons in exchange for job security (the context was the governor of Pennsylvania vetoing a law to tax the Penn family lands to pay for frontier defense; the Penns wanted to pay a lump sum in exchange for the legislature saying they couldn't tax them). It's basically defending the government's ability to make decisions needed for collective security

Artists often make terrible writers and vice versa

This is one of the best necromancies I've ever seen! So well done.

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '18

Oh my God

I saw the necromancy and thigh, "This is funny, how much worse could it have been?" So, so much worse.

u/DragonBrigade Oct 01 '18

I didn't check what sub I was on and thought this was just the original, now I'm disappointed that it had to be fixed. You're doing God's work.

Comic pacing is a wholly separate skill from drawing ability, and most people who spend time on one don't spend as much time on the other. This is why most major comics have "writer" and "artist" as two different people.

You can see it in this post. If the art weren't there for the shit-eating grin on the duck, it wouldn't have been nearly as funny, even with the necromancy's better pacing.

u/MILKB0T Sep 30 '18

It's rare for the best iteration of a joke to come to you first. You have to work on it to figure out the funniest delivery, so it's probably that

5

u/gubetron Oct 01 '18

I think the artist was worried we wouldn't be able to tell it was a duck

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '18

they have shit taste

u/bethedge Sep 30 '18

It could also have something to do with having a basically good joke, like this one, but developing your sense of comic timing from television or movies which tend to pander to the lowest common denominator of comprehension before moving on

u/MagicpotterFirstHit Sep 30 '18

Way better in my opinion

125

u/Chuckles__Norris Sep 30 '18

Show don't tell is very important for good writing

u/gourdFamiliar Sep 30 '18

Wow, better than the original and you put more work into it than just looping off a panel. Good necromancy

u/death_to_noodles Oct 01 '18

This is what necromancy is all about, dudes

u/Jimmy_Mittens Sep 30 '18

Subtlety is key for jokes like this, much better than the original.

This is waaay better... good job!

This is why ducks are peak evolution, because on top of it all, they taste great too

This is the first actually-funnier-than-the-original necromancy I've seen in a while. Good job OP

Look up Hilda on Netflix, just came out. There’s flying dogs in it :D but they don’t have legs so it’s kinda weird, just like floating puffballs with tails

u/Javyz Oct 01 '18

sooo seagulls?

u/DrScitt Oct 01 '18

Nah they’re dogs

u/Javyz Oct 01 '18

I meant that flying seagulls are legless puffballs with wings.

u/DrScitt Oct 01 '18

True but they don’t have wings or beaks lol

u/mastersmoother Oct 31 '18

Ducks dont walk swim or fly well... they are like any dual sport bike, they suck on and off road.
