El Spurioso

Lack of Spurious defence due to:

a) avoidance of Wils smirk-fodder.
b) trying not to play to type.
c) not feeling there's anything to defend.

Same as ever, folks.  Love it or hate it, you can be sure there's a crowd of the other. [shrug]

House of Usher

Klux is a blank-eyed machine that looks a bit like GBH out of Ace Trucking Co. with crenellations round his head, like the teeth on a cog. And he seems to be able to change shape, like a Transformer. Am I close?
STRIKE !!!

I have to say i have liked this all the way through looks like building in to a nice little long term plot

I still really like this story.
It's all a bit mad, with lots of layers of madness, and I enjoy Boo's art. I'm following teh story and art well enough.

That said, I'd like to see the silly pseudo-Britishness play more of a part. That was part of the fun of the early stuff.

Damn. Is this sucking up? Ummm... Spurrier's shat his pants and Cook has a tiny willy!
Heh heh heh.

In fairness to Boo (and out of a sense of guilt for flippant comments about colouring- bad Dog!) I'll try to explain my thoughts rather than just make glib remarks.
I'm no comic art expert, by any means, but the strip definitely shows a knowledge of colour theory such as contrasting colours etc- but things like two pages of samey bright colours in foreground and background elements becomes too busy to take in, for me. There's certainly nothing wrong with the actual colours used- but keeping the brights on the areas of importance, and killing the colour a tad in backgrounds or panel filler would make things clearer, and having a variety of brighter/ duller panels in each page (according to impotance) would probably do it for me. As i say- it's just my opinion, and I can't claim any expertise. 'Sketchy' artwork in the right place is good, not bad- and there are certainly very well drawn areas in many panels, so that's not an issue with me.
Just a little rough and tumble, Judge man.
