Wow, that genie in the first comic looks familiar. Which is understandable since many people rip off the same sprites, and simply taking the sprite isn't anything against anybody else's sprite comic who might have also used it, but that genie's method of trapping people (with boxes with his face on it surrounding them) is VERY familiar...:smallconfused:

If you weren't trying to copy me, and it was just a coincidence and you just haven't happened to read my earlier comics, then just forget about it. :smallsmile:

Heh. Looks like my reputation preceeds me. :smallbiggrin:

Although I don't hate everything. In fact, I like most comics. I only dislike the most vile, putird...

Opps. :smallfrown:

Well, I suppose I could give some constructive criticism. I mean, it's my job, right?

I can't really understand what's going on in these comics. You've seem to have started right in the middle of the action, and I have no clue who any of these characters are or what's going on at all. I recommend making the comics leading up to these ones, in such a way that it explains the setting and characters. :smallsmile:

Want some constructive criticism? Here ya go

Yes, some of the sprites seem...burrowed from someone else, but that's minor at most.

Sorry, I have absolutely no idea what's going on. We seem to be knee deep in Plot with no idea how, who, or why they got there. It doesn't help that some of the dialogue is hard to read. Might I recommend experimenting with Text Boxes? It's tricky to do in MSpaint at first but there's a method.

I recommend slowing down the pace of the comic, there's no shame in adding panels to explain what's going on. I also recommend you check out the Webcomic Workshop thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138091&page=18) for tips on what you should do in the future.

Those sentences with no punctuation make it harder to tell exactly what the character means. I recommend emergency application of commas. :smalltongue: You really should download a better program, but if not, I make word bubbles in Paint by typing the words off to the side in some blank space, then estimating the size of the word bubble now that I can see how big the words are. Then select and drag them in.
