Before I begin, I'd like to point out that: Yes. These are VERY bad scans. Next episode, I'm going to make a conscious effort to make better scans AND to make my originals scan-friendly, e. g. Big, neat words. If it still doesn't work, you're getting computer generated art.

For now, here's what I've got. Sorry about 0-1 and 0-3, my book was falling out of the scanner.

*NOTE:* Out of all he people I've shown this to, NONE of them got it. The ninja's using a compact mirror to reflect the laser drone's blast.

I will be honest and say I didn't get or see it.

I hardly read them, but I could say only 0-2 made me laugh smile.

Dude, I got 02 instantly.

And before you ask, yes, I'm a guy.

Man, for 0-3 I have thought of that sooo many times.

Anyway, good job. I think you've got your thing going and I look forward to seeing where it takes you!

@DarkN + Cheez: You mean 0-1, right?
@all: Sorry about the wait. I've been lazy lately.

Do them on computer.

CG, one hundred percent.

I wouldn't put it exactly as your poll states (the later comics are legible, and unique to any other webcomic here), but I'll vote for CG.

If I was to suggest one thing though, it would be to zoom in a bit on the Ninjas. Theres too much space available. In the hand-drawn version, it was fine.

Yeah, it's unanimous (so far). I think I'll start on a CG one, but I'll draw a new one if four people want hand-drawn before the 10th.

Keep 'em as sprites.

They're not bad when hand-drawn. The intention is there. However, they're just a bit hard to read. If you used a darker pen and maybe changed your scanner contrast a bit it should be fine.

That's the thing. I can't draw in pen. You're lucky you got Travis.

@all: New comics are on the way. Should be here in... give me half an hour.

EDIT: Sorry, stuff came up. They should be ready for tomorrow.

EDIT AGAIN: KOMIX!

First person to guess EXACTLY what Dan's numbers refer to gets a character :D

Ninja size in N poser?

Also, these are awesome, and I totally am in suport of them coming out five at a time even if there's quite a lot of downtime.

Episode 2-4 = Awesome.

And video-game references = points.

Srsly? 2-4 was my second-least-favorite one.

And I've never played Portal, so I think I got the quote wrong.

Thanks.

Character?

Name: Vince (short for Vincent)

Color: 175-125-0.

Person: Have fun with it, but not particularly fast on his feet and no ninja-magic, kay?

Breaking my five-at-a-time rule once to show off Vince to the contest winner. (and everyone else). Next update will be 4.

Er... It looks good. My only problem is that the text is too hard to see.

If you could make the text bigger, it'd be a lot better. It might be just me, but I'm having problems reading Karen and Vinces' text in particular.

Yeah, I keep forgetting Photobucket automatically coverts to .jpg. It's not hard to read on the .bmp.

WILL FIX!

Is the conversion also what's responsible for that little glow around the ninjas, too?

To me, the color was a much worse problem than the size. If you need an alternate color for text (the ninja's color looks fine) I propose 160-100-0. But if it's fine how it is, don't change it.

Besides that, awesome. I have a friend who played FoF a lot because that was about the heighest level of complexity his computer could deal with for about four months.

Not that bad.
I like the ironic punchline at 2-2. That was actually quite clever in its implementation. I still think you'd be better off spending a little extra time refining the graphics and spelling etc...

SPELLING.

WHAT.

WHERE.

Yeah, I noticed the glow too. I might attach some rather than upload to Photobucket and see how that works. Alternatively, does anyone know if Imageshack or Tinypic convert the files?

Also, photobucket doesn't change my images to jpg, as far as i know; they're pretty much all .pngs (which I admit is a terrible format for the handdrawns)
