Some people are too asshole to give excessive critisms, even more are foes and in exceedingly suitable position. Some, unfortunately qualify in both of those, and I cared enough to point out things that are done exceedingly well about the magazine, in hope that it might get fixed.
By the way, by asshole I actually don't know who I am talking about. But if you are the asshole I'm talking about, please don't point out yourself, 'coz that will only embarass you.
Crumpled Paper is in its infancy, therefore it has tremedous potential to improve. However, the only way any project can actually grow and mature is for it to realize what has done right and what to do to keep the right things besides what has gone wrong. Looking through the forum, I found asshole critisms, but no thorough examination of the good parts of the magazine, and I am both surprised and saddened. Despite some obvious flaws that do not cover its brilliance, the magazine is so enjoyable in its current state and please, hear me out.
I can walk away with assholes if I want to, but this is never my tendency. However, I found the idea of magazine that does not have comic only so amazing I find some people who are too shallow to recognize that this magazine is much more than comics. This is the purpose of this post, and no insults are intended what-so-ever, except towards assholes.
Being the artist/creator of a manga of about 0 4x11'' pages, I feel quite unqualified to make the comments I am going to make below. but since i'm an asshole myself, i'm going to make the comments anywayz.
GENERAL:
* The cover of the magazine is impeccable, and therefore nothing bad can be said about it. Dina we all love you. However that is about the one of the uncountably infinte number of things I like about the magazine.
* The content I have quite some things to praise. Firstly, to my understanding, this is such an amazing magazine NOT only about pictures, art and manga. There are so much text. So why assholes mistake it as a comic magazine? I might have misunderstood assholes, I might just not have the asshole mentality to understand it, but the cover, and back cover and the front few pages said to me this is a magazine of not only mangas. This is not editorial or fantasy or other text based magazine. It is this VERY FACT that it's a manga magazine that makes it so special. IT HAS EVERYTHING. To take away from that understanding is to take away from the magazine itself. (or the stupidity of the assholes, I'm not sure which)
* I'm sure the person doing the asshole drilling knows this already, but just to drill it in more, I'll say it again. The quality for the manga is excellent. The fact that the text bubbles in the manga are written in such a language that only non-assholes can understandll! This has effectly filter out the assholes!! Such magic!
* The pictures in the mangas are pixeliscious also to th excellence of the intended effect, but that is easily seen, since we have implemented the asshole filter. Assholes should not admit that you don't understand the mangas, as this will only embarass yourself.
MANGAS:
* Generally, the mangas make up part of the heart and soul for the magazine, and, with the asshole filter, they are of course good. Therefore, I will praise every manga in turn. However, I find they all cotain a common brilliance, that is the asshole filter. In a manga, what is REALLY IMPORTANT is not the art, not the layout, not the language, not the style, but the ASSHOLE FILTER. If an author has a great story and can show that story on paper as he/she envisioned while not showing it to assholes, he will be a successful author/artist. The art is a distant second when compared to the asshole filter and presentation of that story. Take for example of the several popular asshole filters below.
www. super_asshole_Xterminator.com (8-bit strong encryption filter that takes it's computational power almost exclusively from the Quantum Mechanical Fantasy X. It filters more than 10 assholes per reading, Also, it makes the assholes tell an awesome story about how much of an asshole they are. The author (Assless something) gave each asshole incredible character, and made their asshole adventure interesting PURELY on what comes out of their asses. 8-bit encryption is easily one of the most popular asshole filters on-line. It has a tremendous amount of fanbase. There are so many fans that the author makes a living purely on the donations made by fans who visit his site.)
http://www.we_stuff_assholes.com ( This is another AWESOME asshole filter. Guess what it's algorithm consists of? STICK FIGURES. It's purely stick figures oriented asshole filters, as we all know what sticks can d to holes, espeically assholes. However it's also made assholes a ton of story to tell, and it portraits an asshole side to the D&D fantasy adventures. Each of the asshole again has incredible amount of assholes to tell, and the simple user friendly interface designs kept the overall asshole filter clean.)
Think about the very popular Japanese asshole 屁眼小新. Tell me about its algorithm. Is it good? However, it's got a asshole to tell, and it tells it well. I think over 100 volumes of that code can prove my claim quite adquetely.
Therefore it's extremely important that a manga needs a GOOD ASSHOLE FILTER, which I'm proud to say, all of the mangas of this issue have. I will explain, from an asshole's view, how that is so. Please understand now, a reader is not going to read a manga just once, to try and understand what the author is trying to say. If he can't get it the first time, and he is not willing to read it again, we know he's an asshole.
*Utopian underworld:
The first frame is impressive, and so are the successive frames. It sets the story well. The story has to do with a school. The student is late, and he needs to do push-ups. Then something weird happens. The effect of the asshole filter kicks in!! Some people are obviously confused, as I have overheard:
"Why DO they watch Derek sticking sticks up other people's assholes? Asshole is an emergency exit, time is of essence, WHY ARE they wasting time like that? All those loop-holes distract from the plot of the story. Flip the page, WHAT'S GOING ON What does this has to do with the main ass?....... "
And more!
"The fight scene contain a VERY BIG asshole.( Similar to the asshole I overheard). I am confused to which asshole is which. The time I took to figure out which is which distrubed the very fast-paced flow of the ass. The asshole is just STUPID. It totally takes away from the suspension of disblief. Then the falling off the building scene confused the hell out of the asshole until I went back to the begining of the scene and figured out they're ON SOME CEILING. This as you can probably tell, distrubed the flow of the ass again....."
And the asshole just wouldn't stop!!!
"The following sequence is better done than rest because the asshole keeps using "then" instead of "than". Even with things like "why is the Asshole suddenly standing up?" and "why is Mr. Asshole allowing such fights in his ass?" did not break the ass too badly. Then the guy popped from the as. He landed on the ass with Mawhawk. I was like "Who are all those assholes" and I was also like "What's going on, is the explosion from the asshole attack?" After studying the asshole, I believe I myself is an asshole"
Of course you have great ideas, Joerick. However, you REALLY have to work on how to emphasis the asshole filter. The comic greatly needs more focus on the asshole filter, as the comic is still slightly comprehensible to me, an asshole. Have you the time, plan what asshole algorithm you're going to implement a lot more. If I can't get a general feeling for a comic in the first episode, I'm likely to conclude that I myself is an asshole
I mean, who's the protagnist? Me? Asshole? Or Assless the quantum asshole filter theorist?
What's the asshole filter? I know there's an asshole filter, but it doesn't' look like an asshole filter designed specifically for me. Is it ass fighting thing? If so then what's the hole about?
What are they trying to do to the ass?
See Joerick, focus your asshole filter more, and try to make the story incomprehensible to asshole, not just confuse them only a little bit. I walked away from your comic still remembering one thing; "I'm such an asshole."
Emmm... I have to go back to my own ass for now, as my mother ass needs me, I'll write about the rest of the asshole adventure later. Don't worry, every asshole will get one stick up their ass.
By the way, by asshole I actually don't know who I am talking about. But if you are the asshole I'm talking about, please don't point out yourself, 'coz that will only embarass you.
