    Its really hard to read any of the comics, the lettering is either to small or to faint or both.

    was tempted just to lock the thread for beign a shill but decided to give it a read.

    so. some constructive criticism:

    the good:
    1. its free.
    2. the web page colours are easy on the eye.

    the bad:
    I'll break this into sections:

    the web site:
    poorly laid out. the comic pages run off the side of the screen causing you to scroll across. (I'm at 1280x1024 resolution)

    for a website to do with comics etc the plain banality doesnt inspire much confidence in the quality of the productions.

    the comic:
    I have to say, I have no idea what age group you are aiming this at.
    I have no idea what age the artist is. I would guess 10 but I really dont mean to insult anyone. its... basic. not polished for public ocnsumption.
    I have no idea what age group the story is written for, again I would guess 10 . it really is childish, still fun, but in my opinion, not worth the time it took to read.

    the story:
    what? I really do hope this isnt serious. It sounds like the random imaginings of a six year old playing.

    the writer needs to learn pace, punctuation and the proper use of words to convey an idea.

    Overall:
    if you are kids: then honestly, very well done. its a really good effort.

    taken as an equal with other comic sites/short story sites: its probably about average to be honest (thats scary)

    from my personal point of view: thank god it was free. I found it childish, amateur and if not meant as a bit of fun, then really a waste of time.

    sorry I cant say anythign more positive. well done on actually putting up a website though and well done on actually putting up content. I know a lot of people who never even have the drive to go that far with a project. Work on your content, definitely work on your stories, keep in mind that sometimes not everything that pops into your head *should* be in a story and that less actually can result in a better overall production. Take some more care and time with the drawing. rough pencil doodles are not really what I would call a comic ready for public consumption - unless that is the style you were going for, in which case, congratulations, you succeeded in making a comic that looks liek it was written and sketched by children for children.

    Thanks very much for the advice.

    The Season one was just some doodeling I did for fun. I then decided to produce a website for my comics etc. I put the season 1 up to see the feedback for the actuall Comic (Thanks for the feedback by the way) Season 2 is still being written and is being written with the intention of putting it on the site so it will be of a much higher quality.
    The story line for season 2 will be a lot less "childish" and more fun. We have changed some of the characters around. I will try to improve the layout of the site over the next couple of days. We are going to be choosing a definate age group from now on.

    Thanks for taking time to view our site.
    Please come again to see season two and give your opinion on it.
    JL
