I especially didn't like the fact that they simply used Comic Book Creator to make it. So lazy...

If that's your definition of lazy, I'd hate to see what you would say about me ... ::)

Also, the comics I looked at had minimal effort put into them. It's not so much that they used CBC that bugged me, it was the fact that they used it to put together a quick and easy webcomic.

I guess I'm just used to good webcomics with original art and well-written dialogue...

There are more funnier things that go on this board than those entire cartoons put together.

I think they tried too hard. ;)
