    I far preferred the one-off gags to the storyline. Maybe it’s just a different style of humour, but I didn’t find any of the 6 story strips funny (#2 was average). I thought the same about the “The Job” storyline. Personally, I think I just prefer the one-off gags / observations (#26, #29, #30).

    Liking the comic overall enough to keep reading it though! Keep it up! :)

    Tom.

    I liked the first 6 part comic better. The snug wow was pretty cool but the storylines work better if the characters are going somewhere. Your webcomic is pretty cool. Keep up the good work.
    :D

    I enjoy having a mixture, sometimes having the running storyline, sometimes just a one off gag. Keeps it diverse and stops the humour going stale.

    Heh, next person has to come up with a different perspective to keep the ball rolling. I think the only one left is just to hate the comic overall, right? =P

    @Tom Fletcher Thanks for being honest, I hear what you are saying. I think it’s harder to make a storyline that’s as funny as a one-off gag, so I think I’m going to still try and do it once in a while (at most once a month) just for the practice… hopefully they will get better.

    Another thing I want to try is to have a 6-comic storyline where its more of one-gag a day but with an overlying theme. Either way, I’m glad you like the rest of the strip and I hope you keep reading. :)

    @The0Burger0King Interesting point, perhaps I should have had a comic or two of the Inventor at work wearing the snug-wow and getting his co-workers reactions… Thanks! :)

    @Dylan Well at the most I’ll only do a storyline one week a month, so even if you hate them there will still be plenty of one-off strips.

    Ha! so far no haters, phew! :)

    well as a recent convert I kinda liked the 6 parter. Also the frequent updates always make me happy. I guess the thing about one-offs is that if you are a new reader it might not be the best place to walk in… so I guess it will depend on “building regular readers” and a balance of making regular readers happy too.

    The “gator” joke was the perfect ending. I remember being horrified when my super wore them. HORRIFIED. They were bright yellow too.

  6. stupidinventor

    @ClockworkZero That’s a good point, I think the 6-parters give an idea of the characters personality, and the next one kind of introduces a new character that I can then go and put into the one-offs.

    Ha, thanks, yeah I had a similar experience when a friend started wearing bright orange crocs… we don’t talk anymore… (jk :) )

    I enjoy the storylines just as much as the one-offs, but for different reasons. The stories give the characters… well, character! While the one-offs are just fun and goofy. I think you’re on the right track with mixing both styles. By building characters with the stories, you have the capability of increasing the humor of the one-offs by playing off their traits.

    The thing about storylines is that not every part may be funny or have a punchline, and that’s OK!

    @berickcook Thanks! very good point.

    Also this is my first ever attempt at a comic with recurring characters, so I’m still new at the whole storyline and character personality thing, hopefully I’ll get better!

    omg … crocs are so …. stupid.

  10. stupidinventor

    @moni_Bologna true, but they are the perfect accessory to a snuggie!

  11. moniBologna

    lol sad and true

    • stupidinventor

      gross + gross = super gross, lol

      • moniBologna

        lol…..
        That outfit would scream “socially awkward!”

        • stupidinventor

          or perhaps “unstable”

          • moniBologna

            hahahaha very true!

            The bad thing is that im usually the one who is friend with the person with crocs or snuggies…..

            Maybe that is a reflection of my weirdness lol… :D

            • stupidinventor

              lol, could be!
              I saw they had a comic book themed snuggie in the store and almost bought it… almost

              • moniBologna

                heehee i think that could be forgiven. :D

                • stupidinventor

                  lol, it was on sale for $10, if it had been under $5, then maybe, but I would wear it like a robe….

                  • moniBologna
