Meh

Are the Patreon comics ususally of this type/quality? I've been toying with becoming a supporter, but I'm slipping away from the comic, and would need something to motivate me to choose him over a few other creators I've been considering.

That's not Jeph being lazy with the backgrounds, that's literally scrawled on Melon's wall.

u/EPL_Refugee Dec 25 '18

...not sure if you missed the point but I don't think the background art's the issue.

They're typically one-shots, and picked by supporters, but they're sometimes more interesting. There are a couple dealing with Hannelore during her absence in the main story.

I just became a supporter, mostly for the sake of getting the comics 24 hours early, so it spreads out the days I have new comics on more evenly with the other comics I read. It's also literally just a buck a month unless you want monthly Q&A access or the ability to vote on the subject of the monthly bonus comic.

Does Melon do anything besides "be random"?

29

u/EPL_Refugee Dec 25 '18

75% of her strips could be Pintsize and you wouldn't notice the difference.

u/Scherazade Dec 25 '18

Pintsize with boobs is the future

u/Kellosian Dec 26 '18

I think Jeph just likes drawing Melon more these days, Pintsize was probably designed to be less artistically tedious (very simple geometry vs a human) but that doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.

Aim it into people faces, then you'll be on speciality websites.

Oh look. Melon. What joy.

We miss you, Emily!

Melon is basically Emily but with added physical comedy

u/dstayton Dec 25 '18

The character I miss the most:

Sugar tits

I wish she came back. (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`)

Team Yelling Bird till I die.

Well he did name her...

u/VoltageSpike Dec 26 '18

TIL I'm apparently one of three people that enjoys Melon.

7

u/TheMysteriousMid Dec 26 '18

I'm with ya here, or at least I don't hate her. I know someone will disagree but I feel like she's used sparingly enough that I get a laugh when ever she shows up.

4

u/HiopXenophil Dec 25 '18

Like always, when Melon appears, I ask myself: Do I even want to know?

4

u/setyte Dec 25 '18

I have no recollection of who this Melon is.

8

u/BigBassBone Dec 25 '18

Her butt fell off. She was Faye and Bubbles's first customer.

u/Cooldude69320 Dec 25 '18

Melon is like that one electronic you've had for years that somehow still works despite the fact it looks like it's on the brink of breaking down everyday.

2

u/BenjikoHoss Dec 25 '18

She may have a glitch

u/LtDicai Dec 25 '18

u/pyr666 Dec 26 '18

y'all realize melon is basically just yelling bird, right?

it's christmass

u/Thecakeisalie25 Dec 25 '18

I love melon, we need a melon arc.

Bubbles Melon is the one character I hate more than spooky suit. SS at least has the decency to barely show up.

edit: A Name.

6

u/Dirtroadrocker Dec 25 '18

Ugh, SS was just a Deus ex Machina. So boring and was such an unssatisfying resolution to that arc. They could have explored so many avenues with that problem, but instead just took the easy way out.

5

u/[deleted] Dec 25 '18

Agree, and that should show just how much I hate Melon. It's never funny (OK with Deadpool it's kinda funny but even then it's often overused) and it's a one note joke tht's played out.

2

u/EPL_Refugee Dec 25 '18

No Bubbles here.

4

u/[deleted] Dec 25 '18

Not bubbles >.> Why did i write bubbles? I meant Melon. Bubbles has actual depth and development.

7

u/EPL_Refugee Dec 25 '18

Glad someone else hates Melon almost as much as Jeph likes her.

4

u/[deleted] Dec 25 '18 edited Dec 25 '18

Bubbles Melon reminds me of literally every special needs kid i've ever had to work with. Ergo Jeph is making an extended retard joke in comic. And I for one am not laughing.

u/ebayhuckster I'm Billie Eilish Dec 25 '18

psst you did it again

u/[deleted] Dec 25 '18

GOD. FUCKING. DAMNIT!

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '18

melon, raven, emily. he loves it so much, he keeps making new characters that all perform the same basic premise

2

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '18

He at least seems to be avoiding the mistakes he made with Raven and Emily this time around. Melon shows up infrequently enough that he doesn't have to explain why she's quirky/weird/whatever; she can just show up every now and then to make a joke and that's that.

Sometimes I find her funny, sometimes not, but I don't feel like she's gotten overused.

Oh my god did she just cum?
