Glass Ink:

I don't know why I stopped reading this strip from you. Good to see you still turning them out.

Art: The art is one of the best parts of this strip. The darkly outlined and lightly shaded characters are easily identifiable, and the art is clean enough to follow the "action" of each strip.

Story: Overall your jokes are funny, well timed, and easy to follow. There are times when the content becomes a little more than I want to deal with, but that is personal preference over any problems with the subject matter. I tend to be more conservative with what I like to read.

Format: I think it would be a good thing if you could resize your pages to fit the screen without side to side scrolling. Framing of the cells is good and not confusing. The sketchy edges and speech bubbles fit the feel of the strip and remain beginning to end easy to read.

Overall an enjoyable reread of your archive and your new stuff too!

Good luck in the future man!

crazy stuff!! This comic is funny in a really morbid way. If you don't appreciate human dismemberment jokes/potty humor, you should probably steer clear. But for readers who think seeing "shitter; n: a person who defecates " in the footnote of a page is hilarious, Short Bus Brothel is probably heaven.
I'd have to say that the strongest point is the artwork. It's very unique and jarring, highly-stylized. The linework is very bold, and you can tell the artist knows how to draw. Another strong point is the text, which is almost art in itself! It's hand-written, but the letters are strange and evocative and professional-looking, adding to the overall ambiance of the comic.
good job, Glass Ink!!

Here's my crappy attempt at a review! yay me!

This comic caught my eye on the first day I came to DD. I think the author posted a comment on my little crappy comic pages and that instantly got me because of his little avatar thingy. And low and behold the name got me too. "short bus" And "brothel" Where can you go wrong?

Art: Very nice. I've expressed my great liking for it many times, but I'll do it again. The style is amazing. I haven't seen anything like it before and originality is like gold now adays. The edgy style and obscured body structures make it seem like one strange nightmare where the ghouls look at boobs and scream at things.

Characters: haha!! What can I say? I have a thing for maniacs. The two main characters crack me up when they make fun of everyday trends and people. And when they cut 'em up it's all the better. Needless to say they tickle my morbid humor perfectly.

Stories: Well, when there is a storyline present, the beginning and end never leave ya hanging. Always with a good start, and the ending gag is soooo satisfying.

Problems: Eh, besides some sizing issues that don't really matter anyway, it's all good in my book. Though I ain't no super-special-awesome-comic-judge-of-awesome-superness, I see nothin' wrong with it and purely enjoy reading it and looking at all the pretty pictures of things being cut up and smashed. =)

Fives all around from me.

Much luv from the Daemon! ~_^

I'll give a small two cents.

Artwork.
It's not really something I can get behind, it disconnected. But that does not mean it's bad by any means. It's terrific, just IMO not something I can get behind.

Jokes/Story.
Don't change a thing. It's great.
