Ha! Brilliant.

The little expressions the worms use work rather well. Are they wholly out the game or edited slightly?

SupSuper
17 Jun 2007, 22:20
Out of the game, if I'm not mistaken.

I like how you didn't forget the #1 sprite comic rule: have stupidly large comic frames.

Wasn't intentional, but I do read OotS. (Probably my favorite web comic)

Hehe. Do you have a plan, or are you going on the spur of the moment?

Both. But mostly spur of the moment. :p

And speaking of plans, they're being put into motion. (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/58082480/)

May I request ?

Paul.Power
21 Jun 2007, 23:45
Probably my least favourite episode so far (and not just because of my absence :p). Chiefly because I don't know what's going on. Perhaps the next one will explain more...

SupSuper
22 Jun 2007, 00:49
A reference to when Bastian mentioned sex and everyone went nuts over it?

Plasma
22 Jun 2007, 00:59
It's due to that Bastian has got a reputation now for talking about sex, and that he had requested to be in the comic.
Essentially, it's him in a one-word cameo!

GrimOswald
22 Jun 2007, 11:58
Haha, this is pure genius. :p

As opposed to Grim, who is anything but. (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/58152736/)

May I request ?

You may, but it probably won't get granted as it would require me to actually do something myself, and as you can see with Basti@n, that really isn't a good idea. :p Might get round to putting in Plasma sometime though, that would be fairly simple...

Well done GrimOswald, this comic is improved, it is very funny and the land in the 4th panel is drawed very well.

Awesomeness. But, could you make the panels a little (lot) smaller?

no, it makes you concentrate at the characters. or else, Grim, make some fade or shadow images of worms flying around in the black sky.

Awesomeness. But, could you make the panels a little (lot) smaller?

Sorry, I can't do that. Here's a list of reasons you can choose from;

1: I see no reason to.
2: Laziness.
3: I need all the space for an uber mega fudge coated awesome strip coming soon.
4: It is not physically possible.
5: yauhui's answer.
6: I've grown emotionally attached to them.
7: They are the very foundations of the universe, tampering with them could cause it to collapse.

Oh, and;

8: An answer which has nothing to do with your question, but I wanted to say something for the link to the new strip other than "Here's number eleven". (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/59417139/)

Yes, I think you're right to draw big panels, because I see that you have big speak bubbles. If you make the panels smaller, the bubbles won't fit.

16 Jul 2007, 09:23
I'm finding these very amusing. I like the relatively smart humor, the girders as panel dividers are a nice touch, and you've gotten Paul's personality down extremely well, just with a bit more cynicism added.

This does not stop it being amusing, though.

"So Grim," I hear you say,* "Why have you decided to continue this comic when it is obvious you have neglected everyone who found it amusing and thus they no longer care?"

Note 1: This is the first comic where I have used a program other than Paint (Besides for extracting frames from the animations of course).

Note 2: I just realized I still write Grim with contractions, whilst I myself seem to have stopped using them. Odd.
