[Webcomic] PVP Discussion

[Yoshimickster]

Wow...that was kinda mean Gwen. From Isaac I expect it but not from Gwen.

 

[AshburnerX]

New Mappy.



Okay, this one actually got a few laughs from me. They actually used the Time Crisis cops pretty well and portrayed them as the vapid stereotypes they are.

 

[Ravenpoe]

What is the purpose of this comic? Is there a joke or punchline that I'm missing?

 

[GasBandit]

I thought they already had a clueless joke lawyer?

 

[blotsfan]

Yeah, thats the same guy.

 

[Timmus]

So are the silhouette panels just him running out of time or something?

 

[Sparhawk]

He's trying to be an "arteest" instead of just doing his job correctly. He really just needs to hand PvP over to someone who cares about it and rake in the money when the quality and fans come back.

 

[Timmus]

He really just needs to have someone he respects and trusts tell him his silhouette panels look shitty.

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

It allows him to highlight an action that's going on without letting the various character details distract from it. It's a way to emphasize an action, you stupid fuckheads.

Salty Allen post!

Emphasis is lost when it's in the majority of strips. Fuckhead.

Emphasis is lost if it's in the majority of panels. Find a real complaint, dumbass.

It's shit. Get over it. Kthxbai.

 

[Frank]

What action was being emphasized here?

 

[Bumble the Boy Wonder]

What action was being emphasized here?

Changeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

Standing up to her mom. Are you blind or just stupid?

 

[Frank]

Is that Jade or an old man with an underbite?

 

[GasBandit]

In all these silhouettes, jades' hair looks like it is a butt.

 

[Timmus]

What have I done!?

 

[Dave]

You MONSTER!

 

[Ravenpoe]

What will happen this month in the hit webcomic, SILHOUETTES?

 

[Frank]

Actions highlighted!

 

[North_Ranger]

There is not enough high-lighting in the world to make that last panel any less groan-worthy. It's an old joke stolen from better comedians which doesn't even work properly in the context.

 

[Timmus]

Also why they gotta be white silhouettes. This webcomic is clearly racist!

The problem is with a cartoon as simple as PvP, it distracts more than it helps. There is really no need for it other than he wants to try something new. But really, it's a cop out. A lot like voice overs in movies. Done right they're ok, but usually they are just used as a crutch, so they hurt more than help. Which is what is happening here.

I kinda like it. It's got a garfield without garfield vibe to it.

 

[Cheesy1]

 

[Timmus]

That gives me an idea....

 

[Bubble181]

I have to say - silhouettes can be a good and useful tool. They've been completely overused in PvP lately, and as such, they're now less effective than ever before. Using one in every other comic comes off as lazy. Using one for standing up to mom, another for the birth, whatever, I could live with, and they might have a place occasionally. Not 3 or 4 times a week.

Hmm did you notice that in the last two Trenches the (c) copyright notice disappeared from the strip, and the last one changed visual styles? I wonder if it means anything.

Could it mean everyone has found something better to work on? Ye gods, that latest one is awful.

 

[sixpackshaker]

Jade's silhouette still bothers me because the nose points in the completely wrong direction.

 

[blotsfan]

Was it just me or did today's feel product placementy? I dunno. I guess maybe he was just trying to explain what the show was in case people don't know what it is, but if you have to explain in that much detail, I don't think its worth the reference.

 

[Gusto]

For me, it's kind of funny to hear someone talk in the heat of the moment as if they're reading a description of the show from TV guide. And if it's lost on people, no more so than any hundreds of video game, TV and movie references in the past.

I had no idea beyond the plot. It would have worked just as well if "Suits" had been replaced with "[currently airing TV show featuring lawyers]."
