Lessons From Larry

The demented story of a terrible father named Larry and His tormented Son TImmy.

FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!

Hi penguin! Good work ^^
I fixed the link and your sig links too.

I like the limited use of colour, it works.

very interesting stuff. the art seems a little to jhonen vasquez at times, but you seem to be moving away from those elements in the later pages. the humor, however, is all your own.

I like the dark humor, but there is a little too much JHM for me, try morphing your style a little bit to make it more your own, and keep it up =)

its ok i guess

could use a touch of originality and maybe a little clean up in the font because its hard to read

also i suggest you try using different panel layouts so that all the comics dont all look the same

just stick with your mindless liberal stereotype comics.

I don't get this remark...?

Yeah, Larry is a little derivitive, but we all have to start somewhere. I like the ones involving the dad and son. The lettering IS pretty small and hard to read though.

Sorry dude, but Tater is right. This does seem like a JTHM knockoff. It's sorta amusing, but lacks the art and humor of the series you are trying to emulate.

Ohhhhh, you gotta change that font! You can barely read the type!

And what is "Dad what are you doing dad?"?? I think the writing suffers here. Perhaps get someone to proofread your strip before you showcase your work. This way you can feel out whether or not 1. Can the viewer READ what you're typing (to check for grammatical/punctuation issues and 2. Discern what is going on within the panels.

Oh, back on Smackjeeves he had a ton of liberalistic political "humor" comics that apparently tried to be "edgy" by saying that conservatives are stupid, durr hurr hurr.

Ah. Oh well, they are stupid though. ^^
As for the rest, I reccognised the style/theme in those comics, but having not read Squee, I hadn't actually seen those examples.
You're right, that's not too good.

Penguin, maybe you need a writer? A bit of collabration might be good for you if you just want to illustrate jokes but not write them. That way you won't run into this problem. Your stuff will be more 'saleable' and popular that way too.

I hadn't really realized how close the comic was to SQUEE (which I haven't read in 10 years... god, it's been that long?)

That is pretty disappointing. :/

I suppose we can only hope that the author realizes that he isn't doing himself any favors by ripping off other people, and develops something that is his own and not just a "cover" of another popular comic.
