Sprite Comics Are Terrible/2

If I had to pick something in this world that I could destroy and forget had ever existed, it would be author comics. What are author comics, you ask? Well, picture an interactive game on the wiki. Anyone can sign up to be in this game. And when you sign up, you are encouraged to start and continue a storyline along with other people. I'm not done. Let's also say that there are thousands of these interactives. Dozens of them pop up every day. And 99% of them fail within a week. THAT IS AUTHOR COMICS.

Today we'll be looking at a prime example of why author comics should not exist. This is STAY ALIVE!!!

It's only been around for about two weeks, and only has four comics, but THAT'S MY POINT. These people make like thirty of these comics just for kicks and giggles and never continue them! They're a waste of bandwidth. Let's look at the comics themselves.

Oh, I forgot to mention! What is an author comic without the obligatory Introductory Comic! It tells everyone the rules of the comic and invites people in! What fun! WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING THESE. In fact, this doesn't even count as a comic! It's.. words with a hedgehog. NO SWEARING GUYS. MY MOMMY READS ALL THESE COMICS.

Note to all aspiring authors everywhere: YOU CANNOT MIX FUNNY FIGHTING WITH SERIOUS DRAMA. IT JUST DOES NOT WORK. It went from "I'M NOT A POKEMON" to "I promised I would fight for my family.." to "HEY WAKE UP". I mean, I know this isn't the best example, but it's a consistent problem.

Did I mention the recolors? How did I forget to mention recolors? Hey kids! Are you untalented? Lazy? You want to be popular but don't feel like working for it? LOOK NO FURTHER THAN A RECOLOR! SIMPLY GRAB YOUR FAVORITE SONIC OR MEGAMAN CHARACTER AND GIVE HIM A NEW COAT OF PAINT AND A SWEET NAME LIKE "SHADOW DARKMOONCURSE" AND YOU'VE GOT A HIT!

Here's another trait of author comics: houses. All of these comics are like those reality shows where they throw a bunch of fools into a house full of expensive crap and let them live. They all use this same background of some beach house and all these sprites of xboxes and playstations and coke machines so they can just think to themselves "lol i am so rich and cool B)))". There's no point to these houses.

Also, the fourth panel is just disgraceful, I mean it's pitiful. They actually don't know how to shrink the backgrounds down, or just crop it, so they just attach the entire background to the bottom of their comic template. Okay, I'll let it slide that you don't know how to do "technical" things in Paint, but don't tell me you can't just ADD SOMETHING TO THAT EXTRA PANEL. THAT'S JUST LAZINESS, LIKE "OH WE GOTTA GET THIS COMIC OUT QUICK THE FANS ARE WAITING NO SENSE PUTTING TIME INTO IT".

I guess the author just thought it was too much work to add backgrounds, so we're back to the white space of awesomeness! This comic is basically a collage of bad graphics and bad writing, I can't even begin to understand what's going on. And, look at the last panel. Is there something "going on" between these characters? Why do you guys think it makes you cool to have a fake girlfriend in a SPRITE COMIC.

In conclusion, author comics suck, don't make one. Why can't you just make a comic by yourself? Or with a friend? Why do you need to rely on seventy other people to churn out product on something that was originally your idea? And what's the point of making one when you just abandon it within a week?

So many comics, so little good comics.
