DMFA: Apparently People Like It.

[Howl]

Too bad for you that I don't go to any cons.

[Alondro]

Well gee, that narrows it down.

I mean, it's like walking into DragonCon and saying "I need a nerdy guy with glasses."

*Charles pops in*  You called?

[Sofox]

Just to be semi-serious for a bit, I really, really like DMFA the way it is, and trust Amber's judgment and talent to keep it that way.

I agree completely. I mean, I remember when the ZigZag cameo was mentioned and people got all in a fuss about that sort of character appearing in a PG strip. I was like "This is Amber we're talking about. However way she does it, above all, she'll do it in a way that works with the strip."

It's actually astonishing the amount of creators who you can't trust to stay true to their creations. Either by changing what they have to make it work more like something they're a fan of, or do something that breaks the flow of the strip just to try to appeal to viewers, or just lose track of what their creation is all about and end up rambling on and on aimlessly and formulaically.

Amber is one of the few creators who's made something and sticks by it, who continually puts out great stuff that's true to how she wants it even after all this time, and if she does make a play for viewer interest, it never becomes grotesque, unmanageable or against the grain of the strip itself. (Heck, the wallpaper wars, which were an undisguised way of getting people to donate, were hugely funny and well done in their own right.)

I get the feeling that those stats were rigged somehow.

I'm still rather shocked that Better Days is #1.  Everything I've heard about it is that it's utter Randroid crap.

It has good art. Subpar storyline imo.

I also heard the creator is a total egomaniac as well as a fullfledged jerk. Just what I heard though.

Oh, and he draws porn. You left out the porn part.

Pot, this is Kettle. Listen, I don't know how to say this, but there's been some recent conversation regarding your current hue...

;-]

[Magic]

I'll just take this moment to say: There is no DMFA porn in any of my galleries. Stop trying.

...

Even though that probably won't stop people. I'm just going to throw that disclaimer out there.

[Sunblink]

I'll second the thing about Naylor being a jerk. His art is fantastic, but his personality? Not so much.

His porn is preferable to Better Days imo.

Well DAMMIT.

my god, where has this discussion gone

[superluser]

my god, where has this discussion gone

I blame myself.

And bill.

But mainly myself, for mentioning Naylor and taking this thread down a very predictable route.

[bill]

I was going to blame myself, but I did not post prior to porn derail

Better Days isn't porn?

[Tapewolf]

my god, where has this discussion gone

To the gutter.  All things try to reach the lowest energy state, and I guess that goes for forum threads too.

That sounds like it should be a rule of the internet. "Tapewolf's law: All forum threads attempt to achieve gutter status" or something like that.

[Rakala]

Right under rule 47 of the internet which, everybody should know.

Porn doesn't have a storyline

Also porn is good, much unlike Better Days

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

I fixed your post, Bill. You need to look up the edit button. ;-]

... I'd disagree about BD having a storyline, too, though.

[bill]

I didn't get it; that qualifies as a storyline for me.

[superluser]

It's very close to Godwin's law:

As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.

[Alondro]

I heard Hitler liked DMFA... 

[bill]

And that Hitler grew up to be Albert Einstein.

[Zina]

I'm learning so much about history.

[Sunblink]

I'm quitting school and using this forum as my primary source of education.






as well as wikipedia

[GabrielsThoughts]

I'll get to the bottom of this if it somehow kills me.

Ha ha I beat you to it...why does it hurt so much.

[ShiningShadow]

I'm learning so much about history.

Here, here right now I rereading DMFA and finding out that the Abel killed Paul *while wearing aluminum hat*.

[bill]

Abel only kills Paul if you exit out the window, though.

[Tapewolf]

Abel only kills Paul if you exit out the window, though.

Abel still kills Paul even if Dan leads him to safety, but then goes back and climbs out the window.  I'm filing a bug report with Amber.

[Amber Williams]

It's not a bug. Its a feature!

[Jairus]

It's not a bug. Its a feature!

I guess that explains all of those features.

I regret nothing.

[Sunblink]

Tapewolf, you are ****ing amazing.
