Oh, and that being said, I'd like to say I don't mean anything rude by it. I say it out of love, because I know the potential for much better comics certainly exists with TBK.

I have to agree with Scythe on this one. The punchline would be much stronger if we didn't know she was a mantis from the beginning, and the, "good head on his shoulders," bit really gives it away for anyone who even vaguely knows about the mating habits of a mantis.

Regardless, it's a good comic. Simply not "great."

@scythe

dude a sigh of a great comic is that it doesnt end with a punch line EVERY TIME *swings head for emphasis*

You could always keep your current layout by shrinking the images. Then, you could make the comic image itself a link to a page with the full-size image (or just the image itself). That way you preserve the layout you like whilst making available the high resolution version to those who want it.

An added bonus is that not everybody that hits your page will be loading the full-size version, saving your bandwidth.

Love the fact that the picture in the first panel is one of those mirror shots that MySpace seems to love so much! Great attention to detail, keep up the good work!

Would this make "linda" an online predator?

A-hur, hur, hur.

Keep up the good work!

I mean to say "don't always have to be unpredictable"

comics don't always have to be predictable nor do they always have to have their joke at the end. Humor works in several different kinds of way, and there is no reason for a particular comic to always copy the age-old formula. I think that the particular format of this comic works very well and is the best way to portray this humor with no words.

...I gotta add, though, that I love the male's one foreleg twitching post-decapitation!

Gorgeously drawn with a lot of cute touches, but there isn't really a "setup" because the gag is obvious as soon as we see that she's a mantis. Since we already know what mantises do, I think it'd honestly work better if you took the first panel and moved it to the end, to be a "here we go again" sort of punchline with all the amusing stuff to read.

Maybe she wasn't looking for sex anyway. Mantids are cannibalistic whether or not they're mating, they just eat anything eatable they can get their claws on :p

Entertaining, but the last two panels are redundant. I think it would've worked better as a single panel comic of just the first one.

Kind of funny but too predictable. I knew what was gonna happen from panel one.

I love the little details though. Bad taste lulz...

Maybe his claw isn't the only thing that still works after his head's cut off.

This strip has gotten better and better from day one (and it started just fine).

Fine food as mating ritual - noice.

Huh -- hadn't thought of that. Maybe she's practicing abstinence, but still doing the head-devouring part?
