Daaaang, How I killed your master just got pretty.

I've been following it since the beginning even though it's predictable and cliché, wishing all along it was as interesting as it looked, but now I'm thinking it might be worth sticking around even if just for the art.

...I wonder if those guys are Yellow Turbans. I probably have the time period all wrong; I don't know much about Chinese history outside of the events in RotK (so, not much at all, given the nature of the book).

Organized styles of Kung Fu didn't appear until about 300 years after the Three Kingdoms period, so it's unlikely, though Hua Tuo (notable for being executed after suggesting that Cao Cao needed brain surgery, which he did, and so he died of BRAIN PROBLEMS) did organize a small tournament called the "animal games".

Given the prevalence of MASTURBATING MONKEY STYLE shit in the story though, I'd say it's well after the widespread acceptance of Shaolin and T'ai Chi. Also I think the utter genericness is really part of the charm. For some reason chop-socky crap is just better the less inventive it tries to be, and the very fact that it's WEBCOMIC CHINESE OPERA is fresh enough.

I apologize for Brian Clevinger way more than I'd like to. Way, way, way more than I'd like to.

You really shouldn't. I respect a fellow shyster for making such a decent profit off his scam, but he really did help start the terrible idea that the best part of telling a story is doing so in a really long, monotonous style so that you can extend your time spent being worshiped for telling it.

Or at least doing so on the internet.

guys every once in a while I get a trickle of hits from this forum, so whichever one of you is still reading my comic (which is right now Sad Cartoons), thank you for your patronage.

I just read all the archives of it! It's pretty good! One thing that bugged me a bit is that some of the inking seemed a bit "harsh," for lack of a better word. But that could just be me.

root your comic is the greatest

So why isn't Chuck Goodrich terrified of ninjas too?

The house special is gang-rape.

Not only has Gone With The Blastwave actually updated, but he's even threatening monthly updates.

10' by 10' Toon', a D&D comic.

The jokes seem kinda stale.

Burrito Al Pastor · « **Reply #812 on:** February 14, 2010, 08:22:36 PM »

Kinda stale? This is worse than anything John Kovalics ever got published in the back pages of Dragon Magazine.

Büge · « **Reply #813 on:** February 14, 2010, 08:36:02 PM »

I was being polite.

Burrito Al Pastor · « **Reply #814 on:** February 14, 2010, 09:12:52 PM »

Wait a minute...

Hey! No wonder - he had a comic in Dragon.

Büge · « **Reply #815 on:** February 15, 2010, 06:30:43 AM »

So did Phil Foglio. It doesn't mean anything.

God I love Higgs.

Looks like 8BT is finally reaching an actual conclusion.

And it's all thanks to Preist! Best class ever. Specializes in praying, obviously.

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #818 on:** February 20, 2010, 08:45:22 AM »

That's a hell of a callback to a joke made in the first hundred comics.

Brentai · « **Reply #819 on:** February 20, 2010, 11:56:51 AM »

As much as I loved the "And then Fighter just woke up" ending, I have to admit that "HEY GUYS REMEMBER YEARS AGO WHEN THIS WAS FUNNY?" is the more proper note to go out on.
