| What? | ||

| 1. Grouchobeer is flooding but people like his comic's, So then it's not flooding, it's just alot of good comics on 1 or 2 pages, if grouchobeer votes 0 for your comic then jingo will vote 0 then other people. | ||
 |
| I try to make good comics | ||

| You can try, But grouchobeer is a tough nut to crack, you will have to make lots of really good comic's for him to vote 1 if your lucky he will vote more. | ||
|
| Not much people can get groucho to vote high | ||
7. 3 Nov 2006 20:31 | UnknownIndividual |
| Out of all of gnomz only 3 or 4 people he votes high for. | ||
|
| Yup | ||

| Try making comics that make sense,and maybe you will get high votes.And I wouldn't say it's about 4 he votes high for,there's: -Madhatterj -The Achiever -Entropic -Injokester -captainofo -FFXKING -Boinky33 -Sir Sweet -Pulse -Rednecks_2_rox -Myself -dragonxero -and many more. | ||

| 9. The only help I can give you is; Talk to grouchobeer and ask him what type of comic's does he like? Like comedy, etc. | ||
|
| He likes politics. | ||

| I try to use a similar style to grouchobeer in my newest but they're not as good I guess. | ||
13. 3 Nov 2006 20:42 | UnknownIndividual |
| Try to make up your own style. | ||
|
| 13. Take a little bit of everyone's style, and just add your own bit. Sooner or later you'll have your own sense of humor. | ||
 |
| 15. Good Idea | ||
16. 3 Nov 2006 20:54 | UnknownIndividual |
| 16. My ideas are always good. | ||
|
| Good. | ||
18. 3 Nov 2006 20:59 | UnknownIndividual |
| 17. It's ok 18. True! | ||
|
| 20 thank you | ||
20. 3 Nov 2006 21:07 | UnknownIndividual |
| 21. Make a comic, save it as a draft, edit it every day and read it everyday, if it doesn't make you laugh every time delete it. | ||
|
| Well your ideas i'm not sure of... How bout take time to think on it and then make it? | ||
22. 3 Nov 2006 21:14 | UnknownIndividual |
24. And thats the truth!  | ||
|
| 26. I really don't know him, for some reason he does but I don't know why because I talk shit! | ||
|
| Oh sorry about that. | ||
|
| 30. Why? | ||
|
| A comic, first and foremost, should be self-explanatory. The reader should not have to click on a link to understand the comic. Secondly, it's not enough (usually) to just present the facts from the article in the form of a comic. One has to present the facts and then make some kind of funny or insightful comment about them. For example, if the GOP says X today, one can point out that they said Y yesterday (or last month or 100 years ago.) Or you could show what would ultimately be the logical consequences of X. Or you could take two seemingly unrelated stories, X and Z, and draw some kind of connection between them. This obviously requires a broad and deep knowledge of a lot of different subjects, and a memory for arcane and esoteric facts. It's not for everybody. Comedy is hard, satire is nearly impossible. Especially these days. In may ways, we are living in the Silver Age of Satire, but the lag time is closing. Yesterday's satire can be tomorrow's headline. I started doing the footnotes because people assumed I was making up the entire thing. But comedy is not built on comedy. It has to have a foundation of some kind of perception of reality. It is OK to imitate (NOT plagiarize) when you start out. Hopefully, one eventually develops one's own style. I started out doing these comics for my own amusement. Then I went on the internets and I found other people similarly bent. The only people who criticized them were people who didn't understand them or thought that I in some way had taken away "their" limelight. It had nothing to do with politics. There was a guy who is as far right as I am left, and we belonged to a mutual admiration society. The point is, only bad writers want you to be bad, to make themselves look better. Good writers want you to be good. I'd love to see the comics page of gnomz filled with comics as good as DOONESBURY or BOONDOCKS. But you don't get good by spamming. You don't get good by making 1000 comics. You get good by making 1 comic 1000 times. That might be an exaggeration, but you've got to work on one 3-panel strip until you think it is absolutely perfect. Then get feedback on it and go back and edit it some more. Eventually you may find through feedback and brutally honest self-examination that you have no real talent for writing comedy. There's no shame in that as long as you don't spam. Comics need informed readers, too. And I don't just like political comics. I like many different types, really anything well-written and funny. I especially like comics that do things that I find difficult to do, like be very silly (N.B. "Silly" does NOT mean "random". | ||
 |
| Do you mean informed readers as in, say, people who vote ten because they get it? | ||

33. If people only voted 10 because they got it "Saddam V Ben Laden" would be COTD. 10. Not to brag, but, you forgot to add me XD | ||
 |
| 4. FUCK YOU! I MAKE MY OWN OPINIONS MORON! IT DOESNT TAKE A FUCKIN ROCKET SCIENTIST TO FIGURE OUT A COMIC SUCKS! | ||
 |
| 1: Stop latching onto other peoples perception of you and ignore them. Jsut because people think your spamming, dont be a whiny cunt and post on the forums looking for innocent answers. Suck it the fuck up and move on. You dont have too many friends do you? I bet if you do, they dont like you. You seem to have no social skills at all. Hey Everyone! Guess What?!!!! Spamming the comic page is when you make a largew amount of comics that are very poor quality!!! ZOMGNOWAI!! YES WAI! U SHUR? SHUR IM SHUR! KENT B! GTFO! IMHO...! BBQ! LOL! fucking christ, understand that. The difference between grouchobeer and richard is Grouchobeer's comics are well written and funny. Richard's aren't. Sad but true. Richard cant write good comics. Neither can unknownIndividual, Doctor_Who, Vampire_Lord, EmoMan, and all the other people who bitch and whine when their singled out as a bad person. 11, 14: I say it before and I'll say it again. Stop giving advice to people if you quite obviously need some advice yourself. 24: Stfu, you uninformed fuckhead. Its quite obvious you have only a slight grasp on whats going on. | ||
 |
32. Thanks, from now on I will save my comics as a draft and I will edit it.  36.True, all of it! | ||
|
| You guys are obsessed. Who cares if grouchobeer votes 0 on your comics? That means he doesn't like them. He doesn't hate you, he doesn't like your comics. Let me ask you guys something, if every other gnomz member voted 10 on your comic, and groucho voted zero, would you still care as much? Didn't think so. So stop trying to make grouchobeer look like the bad guy. | ||
33. 16 Nov 2006 14:33 | heartagram_666  |
| 38. You actually do have quite a good point | ||
34. 16 Nov 2006 19:07 | UnknownIndividual |
| 38. Grouchobeer hates me and my comics. | ||
|
| 40. That's because he just doesn't like you. You can't have everyone liking you. | ||
36. 16 Nov 2006 19:13 | UnknownIndividual |
| dont blame him | ||
 |
| I think I'll just lock this.... | ||
38. 16 Nov 2006 19:19 | UnknownIndividual |
| Okay I can't.... | ||
39. 16 Nov 2006 19:19 | UnknownIndividual |
| yeh so do i | ||
|
| Of course!!! Only the person who made the forum can lock it. | ||
41. 16 Nov 2006 19:20 | UnknownIndividual |
| 41. Wha? I know that he doesn't like me thats what I just said, I know that not many people like me. 42. Don't blame who? | ||
|
| grouchobeer for not likeing you | ||
|
| Ok. 46. You are the person who made it. | ||
|
| who is | ||
|
| I just can't lock it... Maybe because it's 13 days old | ||
46. 16 Nov 2006 19:23 | UnknownIndividual |
| It's a sticky, there is not point locking it. | ||
|
| why is that | ||
|
| Cretins. I like that word. | ||
|
| 1. Exactly my point. These are the things i've been trying to tell you! | ||
50. 2 Dec 2006 19:01 | Me_A_Piano  |
| UnknownIndividual and Me_A_Piano: Two great comedic minds. Who can argue with these Gnomz legends? You two constantly complaining about one of the site's most popular users just sounds like pure jeslousy to me, and nothing more. You want your comics to be more popular? TRY HARDER! Don't go around accusing a popular user of false things, you retards! | ||
 |
| 6. He is far from a tough nut to crack. No offense to Groucho, but heres an idea to get a decent vote, don't plaigerize, spell correctly, and make the comic make sense. Tada. You just scored a 2 | ||
 |
| 54. Will you marry me? | ||
