you're all morons

POTI has more time and energy put into it, and is also funnier.
Jehovah Gyras were also funnier.

POTI Is just not funny compared to this! Actually, IMHO, I think it's just not funny. I read the first 5 strips, and a few more after, then it proved to me it was mostly just doom monsters spouting simpsons quotes when the mood hits them (eg . "but I'm hungry now!" or "Moe! You killed meee".) Unorigonal, and not well done. not amusing in the least to me. More time and enrgey put into it? Like hell! Let me tell out how freaking hard it is to extract spites and copy/paste, oh man. I don;t think I can handle something so complex!! I'm sorry, but by saying using extracted sprites is harder than drawing the monsters.. I don;t know what esle to say. It's much better to draw them, cause you can elicit so much different expressions and emotions from a drawing than a sprite that is constantly looking upset. I mean, so very many people think hiss is so very outright adorable. And I agree! and such an effect could NOT have been done with sprites. I just never really enjoyed sprite comics because of thier ludicrous lack of expression.. I'll make an exception for 8-bit theater though.
POTI has a great name, I just think, IMHO, the strips are uninspired, and are quite easy for anyone to really do.

Very cool. I like the twist of the main characters being those that were, in the game, villains.

What's the point of replying to such a trolling post like that? I saw it and I said... "uh, this post is so useless and cheap it doesn't merit a reply." The only thing it says is that pickle-hammer seems to like POTI (is this Swampy's strip?) more, and that he has pretty lame social skills. Now you have to prove that sprites comics are no good and that this or that is "better"? Almost as dumb as pickle-hammer's post... and I hear you're even involved in The Green Pile (lettering), that's good, keep up the good work, but try not getting carried away into scathing arguments about your work in forums (kind of like deep does). It's demeaning. You say sprites comics are easier to do? How come, if obtaining expression from them is harder? I personally like the idea, although from what I saw it hasn't reached any level of maturity yet, but the medium is good, since using the actual sprites/textures of the game may be used to elicit all sorts of comical relations with the game. So if done intelligently it is indeed potentially funny. Not to say drawn comics don't have merit when well done, and The Green Pile is doing well. But comparing different mediums like that without considering their potential is short-sighted.

Thanks for the compliment Pickle, nice to see they still let you post here. WTF is this POTI you lot keep harping on about?

Very true. I suppose I did kind of fly off the handle before actually thinking of a sensible post, much like Deep.. My xtreme bad.
Sorry there 'hammer. But yes. I am invloved in the green pile. I edit/text, basically make them web-ready from scans. But Silverwyvern does all the important stuff. :)

This is good, but I think planet of the imps is funnier. After he kinda gave the simpsons quotes a rest it got pretty good. Plus, I'll never look at a cacodemon the same again after reading these things. Now when one wanders in the window i just think 'cyoooooooote!' at least til he starts shooting lightning at me.
