Comments on: Emotions http://jetpacksandtimemachines.com/emotions/ The semi-sci fi comic of the future... sort of.

I like the dramatic close-ups, and I think that you really nailed the popcorn. That's one of those things where it's easy to depict from far away but very hard to depict in full, close-up detail. Kevin, maybe humans can't break the Wii controllers, but Adam is a cyborg, so who knows what he's capable of? He certainly looks like he has the ferocity to destroy it in that fourth panel, and he's screaming "GUAUUGH!" Who can argue with "GUAUUGH!"? I think my favorite part of the strip is Jim's representation of curse words in the second panel, though. Tanks...bomb...nuclear explosion. Very clever. It reminds me of "Asterix and the Goths"...growing up I was not a big "Asterix" fan, but my friend was and one of the ones he had me read was "Asterix and the Goths," which featured a sequence where one of the Gauls is being held prisoner by the Gothic leader. When allowed to speak, the Gaul's swear words are creatively represented by a bunch of angry-looking symbols. When the chief asks for a translation, he receives those same symbols, but Germanified (if that's a word). A classic moment. The point is, going with creative swear symbols is a lot more fun than the traditional ones. Again, great strip. Great strip.

I have seen many fly across the room, and all they have managed to do is scrape a little paint off the front door, and the ceiling (don't ask about the ceiling). Microsoft and Sony could learn a thing or two. I can't count the number of X-box controllers I have lost due to some excessive expressions of anger. "...he is the Shakespeare of the F-Word". I love that . I work in a factory, so some of the people I interact with could be described the same way. That's why I tend to hide in my office. P.S. Panel 2 is amazing!!! I want a T-shirt made!

Being good friends with Jim, and talking to him on the phone...he is the Shakespeare of the F-Word. It's really a pleasure to hear him use it.

Those suckers had a much higher rage threshold than today's Xbox 360 wireless ones that's for sure... @ Tyler: Thanks... That popcorn was a pain in the ass to draw properly. @Me!: Some time in the future perhaps the dialog will contain only images, and it will be more detailed than any other art in the strip. @Kevin: That’s why we need to get back to the old nintendo controllers… Those suckers had a much higher rage threshold than today’s Xbox 360 wireless ones that’s for sure…

I like the cussing symbols, but could you add a little detail to them? ;) Can’t say I’m laughing out loud, but the dramatic close-ups are awesome.
