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

This is one of the best ones so far. (I also love the 'all days are numbered' line. Brilliant use of logics! ) Plus, insane hobos always make things better. One crit: This could have benefited from being -sliightly- longer. The final panel would have served us a sharper punch had it been preceeded by an identical panel, sans dialogue. This added image would help narrate how truly 'left hanging' the poor fool was. Otherwise, awesome. Loving the strip. This is one of the best ones so far.

Now, don't be sad that Jarett thinks I'm real and you're not. (Yes, I've read the comments). If he wants to make an adorable character by the amazing and fantastic name of Ariana then let it be! And if it's a try to win me over, then it might work. I'm easy like that... not in that internet whorish kind of way. More in the 'Yes, I will read your comic strip every day!' format of being easy. Pssssst... Jarrett, you owe me 5 dollars if I love you long time. In loving you long time, means reading every comic strip from the beginning. Oh yeah. That's right.

Thanks for the feedback! @ The Bug: Don't worry, there will be plenty more urban backgrounds where those came from. They're probably one of my favorite things to draw, more so than just about anything else, so we'll see a lot of them, and we'll see them develop a whole lot.

The eye which it is now poking is not amused. I disagree with your assessment of panel 4, though, because (maybe it wasn't, but I'm sure jim will claim it was anyway) I think that The Announcer looked so tall because he was looming over Fred and Adam. Being taller is kind of the only way to loom. A little exaggerated proportions just helps to move the idea. jim, I loved the art in panels 1, 4, and 7 in particular. I think you should do more urban backgrounds. You rock at it. Jarett:: I had not noticed the arm-proportion thing until you pointed it out. The eye which it is now poking is not amused.
