Instead of dedicating yourself to pointing out it's inadequacies. It's puzzling.<br /><br />It seems that you think that Randell doesn't do it it right. So, might I suggest you do it yourself. <br /><br />Maybe you will make much funnier comics. In which case I will applaud you, otherwise I can only assume your obsession stems from spite, and envy.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08773362153663943602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-21285513023236018332010-09-21T19:43:16.819-07:002010-09-21T19:43:16.819-07:00true, true.

I didn't even try to go through the list, that's why I "missed" so many.<br /><br />I think Penny Arcade has great art, and, more importantly, funny art. But Achewood's is good too. Nothing special, as it's a lot of copying and pasting (or otherwise computer aided drawing) but it still works well I think. <br /><br />what kind of person is so pressed for time that they have to abbreviate "penny arcade" as "penny arc."
