 Addie Now Printing
Posted by: Addie Posted on: 05.13.03

Hey everybody, our comic is now on the shelves. I popped down to Borders and picked up a copy after work. However, Pest "borrowed" the book the second I walked in the door, so I don't know how it came out. I'll post some more once I pry it from his furry hands...

Alright, I finally got a chance to read through the book. I'm not really into comics, so I don't think I can really give a very informed review of all of the content, but, on the whole, I enjoyed it. Take that for what it's worth.

Actually, I ran into Kyle the day after it was published. I thought he'd be pretty happy about getting his work published, but he seemed pretty down in the dumps about it... kept going on about some font replacement problem with his comic. I took a second look when I got home, but it looked fine to me. Maybe he'll jump in here and elaborate?

Well, Kyle, I think you should be in the dumps, but not about that silly printing problem (like anyone but a designer would notice). You really screwed up the art... me in particular. I mean, I'm a pretty handsome monster, but in almost every other picture, you have me in some undignified position with my eyes bugging out or something (just look at the shot above).

Oh, and the writing stinks, too. The whole thing is slanted to make me look like some sort of annoyance. And I only get two lines?! Why bother naming the thing after me? The story I read should've been called "Addie." And I won't even go into all of the plot holes...

After all the hype, I was horribly dissappointed. A poor effort all around. In fact, I'm starting my own comic to set the record straight. Here's some of my pre-production art:

 

That's better already, huh?



 Addie Enough!

You're both being silly. The printed comic is fine as it is.

Let's just leave it at that.
