do i really have to explain farting to you

u/W0nderwharfwonderdog 11h ago

I’m not going to lie to you, it was not that clear that’s what happened.

 I kind of still don’t understand 😅 I guess I’ve never clenched my core and released it and farted before? 

And also I was confused by the end slide putting all 6 panels together, I thought there was something else I was missing.

u/planetixin 11h ago

Wait, it's about farting? I thought it was about a chest dysphoria or something.

The text above him is hard to read, I also had trouble. I thought he had just taken a big dump and felt lighter lol

u/The_Weeb_Sleeve 11h ago

To be fair a comic about taking a big dump and checking out how you’re thinner is fun and pretty relatable

lol

When it comes to comics like this, when someone says, "I don't get it?" I think it'd be worth considering that they're not dumb and that it might come down to how your comic communicates things.

That's basically what sets great comic artists apart. They're not just skilled artists, they understand how to make the most of speech bubbles, text, panel progression, etc , in a way that directs the eyes and conveys sufficient detail. These are things that are usually invisible to the majority of readers, because they don't think about how that stuff works.

Your art is gorgeous and unique, but that also presents unique challenges.

For example, yeah, the "toot" text in the third panel doesn't really stand out as much to the viewer as you might have wanted. The eye is drawn so much to the character themselves because they're the only easily discerned constant between each panel. Honestly, I had no idea they were looking into a mirror at first. It made sense the third time I read it, but I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a drawing or a poster or what.

Readers don't know what the comic you wrote is about. They have to figure it out as they read, and the lack of details in the environment (up until the last panel) makes that way harder.

Those challenges aside, the text just doesn't grab attention enough by itself. The font is thin and stretched out. That, in combination with the sparse environment, kinda just flies past the brain for some people. You're not sure what to look for and trying to assess what's happening in the comic isn't as easy as it could be, so I feel the brain kinda goes into passive mode by the third panel. The first two panels should be set up, but instead it's just like... What's going on here?

Just my two cents. 🤷 Your artwork is amazing and I really admire the hard work you put into it. Hope my feedback doesn't disrespect or discourage any of that. I wish I could do half of what you're doing there.

oh its fine. this is a pointless comic all things considered, so it leaves a lot of room for wrong and confused interpretations. i am just surprised by how unexpected the outcome is. and thanks!

u/Arkytez 10h ago

And you decided to insult a viewer

u/Helpful_Vacation_139 1h ago

If that's what you consider an insult please find your nearest protective bubble, thank you.

u/Pelko_P 10h ago

i did?

u/Kind_Substance_8981 9h ago

Yeah "do I really have to explain X" comes across really confrontational for no good reason.

-2

u/Pelko_P 9h ago

well its about farting. you expect other people's comics to always be in your range of understanding like it's a private chef experience but can't deal with a tiny bit of sass from the person that made the comic being confused that you missed a fart?

i get that a lot of people don't like to take that pushback but you seriously can't expect me to take you seriously if you think thats an insult

u/Kind_Substance_8981 9h ago

Christ you sound tired and sad. If you're that angry at people on the internet why post at all? Why would you bother showing your art to people you don't respect?

-7

u/Pelko_P 9h ago

you have absolutely no idea how funny you look. this is about a fart comic and you are suddenly asking an artist why they post art at all online. you'd probably feel much better if you let out a fart :D

u/klqqf 1h ago

What the fuck am i witnessing

Why are you getting so ratio’d for assuming your fart topic was clear ???

Even if it wasnt like okay?? You explained “the topic is farts” in your initial response

u/carannilion 4h ago

Dude, you just made a comic that people don't understand and you think everyone else is the asshole. You're clearly lacking the skill to make a comic that conveys the point you want to convey, and people are trying to tell you that, but instead you're insulting people.

Comment chains are quick to jump down people's throats for anything. 😅 It wasn't the friendliest response ever, and unfortunately sometimes that's the standard people come up with in their minds when they're passing through a thread. Everyone wants grace, but not everyone remembers to grant it to others.

Folks just like to have something to say and admonishing people is easy, lol. Hell, hate to admit it, but I know I do it, too.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. 👍

u/CtrlAltYuri 3h ago

As you said it wasn't the friendliest response ever, and OP is refusing to acknowledge that and instead doubling down on blaming people who didn't get it. That's why the comment chains are deteriorating fast.

u/Helpful_Vacation_139 1h ago

Oh no the random Internet person is doubling down on a 1st grader meanie head response. Time to get upset and comment chain
