I belatedly saw the "test footage" thing just now, I really hope it doesn't turn out that way, all droll and wacky. I was hoping for a pacing and delivery in between Beavis & Butthead and Dr Katz.

What he's saying there is similar to what they told Japanese soldiers in WWII, something like "you are not killing someone, you are merely observing how you pull the trigger, the bullet exits your rifle and travels through another man's body", it's based on Zen detachment stuff that was very popular in the 60s - too bad it's also easily used to enact cruelty.

Ugh, this seems like another boring/depressing arc. All the good arcs were about dumb stuff like Cards for Men or Ray going to hell and didn't have a real plot or walls of verbose, unfunny text like this one does. That verbosity only works with Mr. Bear, and even then he shouldn't overdo it.

Eau de MacGowan posted:Onstad writes some of the best dialogue I've ever read but conversely his prose that these penny/teodor strips hint at drives me mad. All of it reads like he went over the lines and thought about funnier synonyms and idioms for what was originally "you're probably wondering why I fart so much right?". It doesn't work. Just let Lie Bot tell Philippe about a child being crushed by the deorbiting toilet from the International Space Station again, it's way more touching.

Sockser posted:Read the Ballad of Lyle and Darlene and just kept reading because you know, that's how Achewood goes, and it struck me that one of the things I like most about Achewood is how realistically characters act when they're high. Like I watch Family Guy or something of the sort and I become convinced that Seth MacFarlane has never smokes weed but likes to talk about it, and then I read Achewood and "45 degrees" Yeah my main thing whenever I used to get stoned was to indulge in small details in my house. Laying on the floor and appreciating the fine wood carving on the legs of my coffee table, going on a mental tangent and imagining such as a craftsman in a wholesome workshop and so on.

He's selling those "show bibles" again, he says in the description that he's still developing the show. Somehow I just can't see that working out, the jokes were made to be read, in a spoken voice with moving characters everything somehow falls flat. I think it's because the comic thrives on attention to small details, things that are drawn weirdly realistically and dwelling on them. The dialogue also lends itself best to reading multiple times rather than hearing it once. Maybe if they went with a kind of Dr Katz type of approach it could work... It's a bit of a similar situation to the Angry Video Game Nerd trying to make a movie. The material just doesn't match a different format very well.

The problem is mostly that they all use the same verbose type of joke. Penny doesn't seem like the person who'd say "estrus" on a whim in an insult to a rude guy, and making all of the characters talk in that clever analogy sort of way makes them all sound like Onstad himself rather than characters.

I went to poor kids' houses sometimes. In one place they ate bread with peanut butter straight from the tablecloth with no plates or anything, and, of course, they had SEGA instead of Nintendo.

Poor kids always had sega because working class ideology is more readily compatible with fighting, beat em up and sports games, and I was more attracted to the bourgeois indulgences of melodramatic Japanese RPG's and colorful platformers. One kid actually had an NES but it was hooked up to a monochrome TV and only had one game - Shadowgate - which we couldnt figure out, so we called the Nintendo hotline and the sort of hot headed poor kid just shouted profanities at the poor videogame specialist on the other end of the line. Anyway I don't know where I'm going with this but there you go.

In any case these are a long way from "cherub standoff at the gargoyle corral". The arcs wouldn't be so bad if there were some good one off strips once in a while.
