I think it has three frames. It' salso made with MSPaint, except the text... Then again I think it took a whole  2 minutes to draw it and to get it here, which is amazing!

One thing that bothers me... why is that  cannibal kind of person behind that wall of mud and crap?

Tuomas, MSpaint has a text box... Idon't know why so many people think it doesn't...

Its funny.  But it looks like the dude with the fiery computer has lipstick on... (it does add a little comic effect, though)

the cannibal is behind the wall so you cannot see what is happening there and i do know that paint has a type option only i didnt use it because the one in paint shop pro is way more handy in use

The idea is good, but the illustration of it is, IMHO, sub-par. The graphic style might suit the comic, but the characters are so badly disformed that it starts to bother me.

Not at all a bad idea, just spend a bit more time on it.

Yeah, i agree with the guys. Use a better program, and if you don't have one, download one. There are tons of great free Paint programs that are a lot better than MSPaint, or, why not fork out some cash for PaintShopPro? I'm sure you can get a pretty good version for a relatively small price (I got my copy of PaintShopPro8 at a garage sale, $30!).

Edit: Just realised you DO HAVE PaintShopPro!

Here's a suggestion: Now that people have told you it's a good concept but might need better drawing, why not remake it when you do have time? I'm sure we'd all like to see it.

"when you have time"... That's the point. People has a life, and some AGS projects. No time for re doing everything in CL. Specially a 3 boxes comic unrelated with games. No offense Esper, but CL is for the author to improve its art, not the critics. Overpaintings for explaining something are wellcome, redoing the work not, IMO.

Heavy. No offense taken, but I doubt "when you have time" is a problem for a "3 boxes comic unrelated with games." Would you have rather I said, "No, Corey, I'm sorry, but that sucks ass, and 'IT' really isn't that great a movie???" (Actually, I do like IT, and own it myself, but it reaslly isn't all that scary, so no offense meant)... It was just a push to get him to improve on himself, and therefore shouldn't be an issue.

αφήστε το φτωχό γάιδάρο μου μόνο :)...

cool a good disscusion about horror movies    :D so what horror movie do you like then ??

Actually, I DO like IT as a movie, but not as a horror movie. The types of horror movies I like are those that you can see as being possible... THE RING made me not want to go anywhere near TV's, water, or little girls for months, and I kept seeing Samara in my rearview mirror. I still can't bear to watch static screens. The second one sucked, though. The Grudge also rules many a galaxy, although it showed the antagonist too many times. The key to good horror is, like in the Ring, to keep people guessing what they're dealing with till the very end. The Exorcist and it's prequel are also very good, although the sequels are not. (There is a scene in the Exorcist 3, however, that is scary as all crap... It involves someone checking out a room and finding it empty. He turns around and walks away, and as soon as the door closes, a white-robed figure rushes out and cuts his head off with a big pair of hedge trimmers. I work graveyard shift at a hotel and I can tell you, this hit close to home ;) ) Anyway, this is a discussion about the comic, not movies. I'm sure Darth will be along any second now to tell us to STFU...

Conclusion: Use more than 30 seconds on your cartoon next time, IT isnt scary and duck when you walk away from empty closets.
