I thought the latest strip was good and poignant.

Not sure about the next one though. I like the look of that suave troll (lowtax).

For a comic about people being trolled there's been very little internet usage in it so far, so this was really just inevitable.

The hacker troll reminded me how expressive, detailed and consistent the OC art is becoming. It's cool as h*ck to see Lazerbot improving from chapter to chapter.

Honestly, that's what I like most about this. I thought it was going to be : People make fun of some guy on the internet - so he/she draws them getting horribly mutilated, they get called on it, and respond with "It's totally justified, they were jerks, they deserve to die.", then proceed to draw the new "haters" in the same fashion.

But no...instead of that - he gives Trolls motivations, back-stories, the works, varied appearances, heck the Trolls are winning this (Well were). Compare that to people like M. Night who make a straw-man only to get killed. Lazer-Bot doesn't like trolls, but he portrays them like there Metal Gear Solid bosses.

He has shown more improvement than Buckley and Mookie combined. It warms my bitter heart to see a guy grow like that.

Sorry about the words but you have to have patience.

Though would it be more more interesting if Tom did switch, or he didn't and just kept being a massive rear end in a top hat.

lazerbot is the only person to have ever used "ragging" as a verb meaning to menstruate and yet he's used it like 7 times in TGT like it's no big deal. Bless that boy.

He's the only one I've every heard use it like that. Urban Dictionary is a fine collection of things no one ever actually says or does.

Edit: vvv I guess I stand corrected. I can't imagine anyone but a TGT character using it seriously though.

He's looking into your soul with his dead eye! :tinfoil:

I can't see this ending well for Tom. He killed a father, son, and an old lady out of spite.

Tom, slow down - your becoming whom you hated most, don't become Jarry Tom. :ohdear:

If Tweety hadn't died, the future Neutral's (plus Porky) would never have gone out drinking and none of them would have become necromancers. Tweety fulfilled his purpose long ago. :colbert:

Tom has already shown that he can't control his emotions as easily as the other neutrals and had his life shortened for it, so it would not surprise me if him being an absolute douche has negative repercussions.

The trolls were lured to the Bever concert by discussions on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Myspace. Kermit and the Muppets all trolled each other on a troll chatroom. Knuckles used Google Maps to find a troll camp.

That's all I can think of, and none of it occurred on-screen.

Edit:
It's really weird to go back to read old posts from months ago. This is from April:

I remember thinking when I first started following this thread, that the trolls feel more like bullies than trolls. It's funny to me that they do feel more like trolls to me now, but I have no good reason why I think that.

Nice update! Definitely a smoother experience.

I think the back/forward buttons down the bottom are an improvement but they seem almost too large now. I notice when I use the top-right drop down the reload icon in there is slightly smaller than the one down below, which seems up scaled to maybe 110 percent or so?

Not too keen on the plus icons to the left of the forums, but can't think of a solution really..

I could produce some more icons at some point if need be - a padlock for locked threads, a share icon and native some sort of solution for the forum plus thing - but my laptop broke last week so it won't be for a month or something probably.
