Writing Funny......

[jonas]

Also, I really think age has something to do with the acceptance of swearing or not.

It seems to me that obviously teenagers accept swearing more as they tend to do it a lot. Whereas people in there 20's might be over that and not necessarily swear just to swear anymore. I mean people swear when they are mad. Myself, I tend to swear hardly ever.
It just all depends on the person and their morales I suppose.

if your not naturally funny its hard man, hard.

That's the thing. People do find me funny in real life. I constantly make people laugh and I just have a hard time taking that and writing it into a 4 panel comic.
I'm more the physical comedian myself anyways.... like more the actions I do or the things I might say by accident. At least that's what I'm told.... kinda like a Kramer, I suppose.
I think your suggestion is good man, don't worry about that. Any suggestion is a good suggestion.

Also keep in mind that some of the dirtiest comics became super stars when they were not swearing...Bob Saget and Tim Allen.

See, now both of those PA comics posted are absolutely retarded. This is probably PA's finest moment (though there are many other strips damn close):

I personally like this comic for the fact that it shows how PA has evolved. This comic is funny, but it's a different kind of humour, whereas now they show somewhat different styles.

I know over the while we will evolve and I look foward to that.

Is that a guest comic?

KidNemo, those are my stats. I actually forgot I had this installed. I somewhat understand it but I'm a little lost.
It looks to me that people are reading it, which is good. Also, keep in mind we opened on July 31st and traffic really went up for that month. August is catching it and we have just begun this month.

If anyone can help me understand this webstats I would be greatful.

Then why do a comic at all?

Comics are generally less effective overall than a well-written essay. Penny Arcade has hundreds of crappy, worthless comics burying the few dozen classic ones. Tycho's front-page news rants are usually much better than the comic itself.

rezo: That is a really old Penny Arcade comic. Several years now. That was their first style.

I enjoy doing it.

That Wang Clip one sucks. It's so... uninspired.

Now THIS one...

I think some posts in here a great example of how many peoples tastes for comedy come into play.

It all goes back to Kid Nemos first post actually.

Nope.





this is the funniest PA ever.


And I agree Pixel, plenty of examples of sense of humor here.
