what the guy does with his arm in panel 4 is SO WEIRD that even the most loyal Jehova guy would run away!

Yeah, I tried to make such a waving-in gesture, but well... :

And I don't quite get the punchline...

*Sigh* Nobody does... The joke is, that the guy is a scientologist, wich means that the witnesses are pwned!

While not the strongest of all possible jokes, I know how often you stumble across that sentence in any given german city.

Yep, this one is even based upon something, that actually happened. 

BTW, I see you use your computer for lettering, and, in my opinion, the Comic Sans font is heavily overused.

Oh yeah, I know what you mean...!
The problem is, I have a rather bad handwriting.
Plus, if want to translate a comic I also have to use computer lettering.
The thing in the third panel, by the way, was actually hand-written but, you know, for the translation I had to overwrite it with the computer, making it looking not so good.

[EDIT:]

@Neil: Hey, thank you, that sure was helpful.
You are right, I do have problems with the anatomy, but I'm already working on that.
As for the nostrils, I actually drew them for caricaturing purposes.
The last panel of the first comic was supposed to fill the whole bottom part of the page but I kinda screwed that up.
Oh, and the camera angles, in those strips they are a little simple, but I'm also working on a comic with plot and everything, wich is going to have various camera angles.
I'm mentioning this, so you wouldn't think I'm all unoriginal and everything I do is that plain.

However, yes, I will post more in a while. I just have to do some stuff and translate them before posting.

EDIT: Alright, here we go:

(I know, this one has some awkward scaling-problems. No need, to point that out! )

Hehe, thanks! To you all! 
(Except for skyfire1.)

Well, artwork usually doesn't matter so much

Wait a minute! What, er... what are you implying?

Using the dictionary for words to use is a good thing, but in the case of alienist you should've looked further. Not only is it pretty much an obsolete word (as far as the public goes, it IS), it also means something different from what you'd expect.

Yeah, I know! I warned you it might contain mistakes.
Especially the first one, since it was originally made in german.
You know, that's one of the reasons I put it in here in the first place.
So you can help me fix it.
(By the way, I was referring to an english-german dictionary. And for "alienist" it displayed me what, translated back to english, would be "psychiatrist" and "doctor for the insane", wich I though it would be fitting.

Using the word "alienist" seems kind of awkward. It's pretty much an obsolete word.

Yeah, what do I know? I looked it up in a dictionary.

I can stretch my disbelief, but a psychologist walking in and immediately hypodermic needling two guys... Nah

It was supposed to be like they are in a nuthouse.
I considered drawing a padded cell in the background, but I decided not to do it, since I didn't want to draw it in the first panels, either. I though, it would be to obvious.

...the caricature of the Mac guy is great.

He, thank you, I try! What about the PC guy?

Pretty cool I understand the first competely, but I don't quite get the second one ...

Well, do you know the Mac ads?

Recently, I spent quite some time on drawing various comic strips, and I really want to hear some feedback!
(And I really hope there is no problem in posting this here!)

Here are two of them (they might contain some spelling or grammar mistakes, since my english is not quite perfect):



If you like them, I might post more!

hah! Great comic Thomas VoàŸ!

Thank you, I was hoping, you'd like it!
I have, by the way, quite a lot of comics in stock.
I thought about posting them into the critics lounge but I didn't know if you would care for it.
If you want to see them, let me know.
Oh, and sorry for the blatant self-plug.

Ha! I finished it!

EDIT: The sequel:

Ha! This is so awesome! Kick-in-the-nuts-awesome!!!
I just wonder, how you are going to transfer some puzzles into 2D.
However, keep the cd-rom puzzle at the very end in!
Luckily, this puzzle can be scripted in AGS!

EDIT: I just played the demo and there is just one thing: When Sordid's spirit goes into the mech, Simon's body should collapse, rather than dissolve.
After all, his body must remain for his resurrection.

Yeah, but personally, I think the thing with the phone call was just an excuse, so he could go and hide the cocaine.

Hmm, we should open a ben-jordan-theories-thread, don't cha think?

And I wonder what happened to all the livers, the skunk-ape took out of all his victims.
I mean, we can only assume, it at them. Unless I missed something, this was never revealed.
I'm sorry to bring this up, but that's really something to think about, in my opinion, at least.

Christopher Lloyd would be a good Drew Blanc. 

Don't forget the glass of stale milk! 

Oh, I think, Grundislav intended to provoke those theories.
I bet he is sitting in front of his computer, laughing up his sleeve and thinks: "Hehehe... they have no idea!"

An excellent question.

Hmm, is the answer to this question hidden somewhere in mysterious, spanning plot-line and the fact, this questions exists is a hint for the smart and oberservant players to discover... or did you just screw up?

Ah, sorry, now I'm doing it as well!

HA! Lip-sync! How awesome is that?!? 
And this glimpse into the overall plot is very interesting, too!
Great job!

I want to see the longer version! 

I don't believe in God or Satan.
They're just fictional charaters.
We're all on our own.

And miracles... well, the church has a convenient way to sort out miralces:
"Miracles only happens to those, who can help themselves".
So, basically it means: People, who can help themselves, doesn't need mircales - those, who can't help themselves doesn't deserve miracles!

And about the free will: I doubt there is something like that, either.
I think, our brains just gets impulses from our environment wich run down our synapses, get analyzed and then we commit an apropiate reaction.

I think people today would gain a better spiritual insight if they went to church less and played Grim Fandango more.[/qoute]
Amen! 

This reminds me in a really nasty joke:

What does a belgian mole say?
"Out of my way, children!"

Sorry to all belgians!
