I can't believe I'm reading a comic about a budding romance between Hello Kitty and Tails from Sonic, and enjoying it. Lazerbot if you're reading this, don't worry about the grammar. We chilled our pills about that a long time ago.

Seriously, don't worry about it. Even if we do make fun of the grammar a bit you shouldn't take it as criticism, it's a big part of the charm and we genuinely love every malapropism and misplaced comma. Just keep doing your thing and we couldn't be happier.

Mass Guessing Time! -Ronald will stumble into the Troll-King in the jungle as he makes his escape and is killed easily, the Troll King finds the defenders. -Ronald will use his illusions to incapacitate Cheetoman during an ambush outside, Tails will kill Ronald in combat. -Hello-Kitty is Ronald. -Pac-man has been killed by the Troll King during the chaos, Kermit will be killed. -Pac-man is Ronald. -Batman is Ronald. -Everyone is Ronald. -Ronald will join the trolls and become troll pope. -Ronald is going to die in the most over the top way possible. Many avatars will spawn from this moment. We'll keep talking about it for days. -The whole story is brought on by the Trix-Rabbits mental problems, he's actually in a sanitarium - his robes are a straight jacket. The other defenders are the same, that's why their all crazy and paranoid. scarycave fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Jan 23, 2013 |

Lazerbot I think people used to think you were tracing because your art was very static and consisted of close-ups of characters that looked like they could have been easily traced from stills or other art. I don't think you were tracing, just using a lot of close-ups at similar angles.

Well, in the interest of keeping you guys informed about the ongoings of tgt.com, I'm slowly inching towards my goal of properly tagging characters in and fixing post dates for all of the comics (only chapters 13, 14, and 15 to go), after which I hope to work on a concordance/dialogue search. If anyone wants to help with the latter, I'd be happy to take any contributions!

So next month is the one-year anniversary of this thread. Any chance we get another motion comic before then? Also, I am guessing that the whole scene with Ronald attacking Tails and everything to this point has all been one big illusion by Ronald to gently caress with/humble Tails.

Grammar and spelling: it's certainly distinctive. Even though I've noticed you're getting better at that too. Not there yet, of course, but there is progress. The fact that these mistakes are not only those that are seen constantly on the net (confusion between there/they're/their, or between it's and its, and so on) makes it amusing rather than annoying. There's even a lot of unusual mistakes you make that are borderline poetic. In a way, it feels more like you're using an exotic dialect of written English rather than like you're making mistakes. Tracing: I don't think you actually trace the pictures, but more that you take time transitioning from the model of the picture that you imitate to something else. For example, look at how Sylvester is nearly always drawn front and close, whereas Cheeto Man is nearly always drawn in profile at a slight angle, looking toward the left, and with the back of his head cut away by the panel border.

If his grammar and spelling are getting more orthodox, it's not because he's trying. Clearly he doesn't consider it important.

I dunno, he started using periods at the end of sentences instead of endless commas after we talked about it in the thread. Though that could of course be a coincidence.

Before Shakespeare the English language was a little fast and loose, spelling and grammar wise. After Lazerbot it will return to the way it was before. Five hundred years later we still say things like "with baited breath." 500years hense wil be saying chill youre pill.

For me, and I think for a lot of people, TGT started off as something I enjoyed because it was "so bad it's good" and over time turned into something that I genuinely appreciate. And part of what made it so hilarious at first was the horrible grammar. Now, even as the art has improved dramatically, I still find the questionable grammar to be an indispensable part of the TGT style. When I make a post pointing out a funny word usage, I'm doing it to show my enjoyment, not to criticize. But I can see how it would be weird for the author when people are enjoying his comic not only for things he did intentionally (like the crazy plot twists, hilarious character portrayals, and greatly improved art) but also for things he did unintentionally ("it is was not a quintessence us meating today" is still one of my favorite things from the comic). All I'd say to Lazerbot regarding grammar is try not to worry about it; we love your writing just the way it is.

The other defenders are the same, that's why their all crazy and paranoid. If Trix Rabbit being the TGT version of Tommy Westphall is somehow not-canon, I will now be oddly disappointed. Of course, that said, I probably wouldn't be were LazyB to come up with something even crazier either.

Just noticed the tracing discussion, and went to see where it started up from...so I looked for the earliest comment of tracing from the last page and...scarycave posted:Sometimes when I see the epic art shifts like with that kick, I sometimes wonder if Lazy is tracing... It was man. Well I'm probably not the first one to think this but it's because of how the art-shifts - for like a split-panel it looks like it was drawn by someone else and that the whole panel seems familiar like it was in another media like a Tv-show or movie. Though there's only so much ways that you can perform certain expert martial art techniques so that could be why. I'm assuming that he's just using a reference image or something though and not full-blown out tracing.

Stop discussing this stuff and let the man create in peace. The more we talk, the more influence we exert because he wants to please us, the more watered down the comic gets. Genius needs space. Genius needs freedom. Lazerbot, to achieve your true potential, you must not only ignore your critics, but also occasionally your fans.
