Lazy
Clearly suffering from prolonged comic-block, I've decided to ease my way back into the world of WoW comics by criticizing other, more talented and motivated, people.
First up is "Tales from Westfall", a recent honorable mention from this month's official Blizzard comic contest.
Nice artwork and good premise, but the writing can be punched up a bit. Pointing out the absurdities of game logic is funny, but not as funny as proposing tortured explanations to them. Here's how I would've done it:
But why does the night elf have to swear?
First up is "Tales from Westfall", a recent honorable mention from this month's official Blizzard comic contest.
Nice artwork and good premise, but the writing can be punched up a bit. Pointing out the absurdities of game logic is funny, but not as funny as proposing tortured explanations to them. Here's how I would've done it:
Panel 1. Close-up of bloody dwarf.
[Dwarf]: Dammit! I got another boar with no liver!
[Someone yelling from off screen to the left]: What?
[Dwarf]: No liver!
---
Panel 2. Night Elf entering from the left.
[Elf]: You're just fucking eating those, aren't you?
[Dwarf]: What?! No! It didn't have a liver!
[Elf]: How is that even fucking possible?
---
Panel 3.
[Dwarf]: I dunno. Maybe it's like in that "Schrodinger's Cat" thought experiment: You picture a cat, but you don't know if it has a liver or not until you kill him and open him up.
[Elf]: I'm picturing opening you up and finding all the boar livers cause you FUCKING ATE THEM!
---
Panel 4. Human entering from the right.
[Human]: Maybe if you didn't mash the poo out of everything with that comically large hammer, they'd still have livers. Where'd you get that thing anyway?
[Dwarf]: I found it in a bird.
But why does the night elf have to swear?

YOU ARE ALIVE !!!
Seriosly, welcome back buddy and hope to see more comix up soon :)
Welcome back!
Gief comix plx!
Forgot to say, 2nd! Or third now too, yay.
I kinda like the way it was better, no offense. The schroddinger's liver joke is gold tho! But keep it up, get the creative juices flowing. For the sake of mankind, man!
i have been checking every day and finally back! nice
Welcome back!
Profanity is the crutch of the inarticulate (see moronic). I don't think Blizzard should post anything with this sort of language. I remember the days before George Carlin and Lewis Black (still funny guys, mind you) that people could be funny without being degrading at the same time.
Terrible... Why would you even attempt to do that? I think it's a good comic and the artist gets his/her point across very well. For having "writer's block" you sure seemed fine with writing your own version of it when you could've used that energy to make one yourself. Please stick with making your own instead of attempting to deface the work of others.
Glad you're back. Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.
Glad to see you're back. I vote to ignore the the anonymous grumpybutts. :)
You'd totally mess it up with your version *double yuck*
Dude! WB, dont mind the ungrateful people who bemone your coments, you have only just got back, catch your breath mate, now we know your back we can wait (semi)patiently for you render us speechless with your humor.
Live long and laugh lots :)
Yeah, WB dude! This is why we've missed ya; your version is way funnier.
It's funnier only if you know what Schrodinger's Cat experiment is. But I do, so it is!
It's interesting; I'd say your edit speaks to the sorts of differences you have to have with a screenshot comic versus a drawn one.
Halleluja, he has returned!
I like your version more, but hat whole concept is getting a little old by now...

your version was just outright stupid, the thing that took away from most of its humor was the profanity in it, and that obscure reference to Schrodinger's Cat experiment. Apparently in your own mind your version just makes you shit yourself with glee every time you read it and it sort of shows your level of intelligence when you are forced to resort to profanity in order to get a laugh out of something
I have to agree with posters above. The vulgarities really do not add to the humor, well.. unless you're a pre-teen maybe. It shows a great deal of immaturity, and is just plainly *not* funny. Try harder. Use a bit of imagination instead of proving it's absence with obscenities.
