shes gonna get raped

Cornelius-Bojangle · 1 year ago

That was my first thought before the last two panels
"Huh, Marry Poppin's being gang raped in a prison...never thought I'd see the day."

Kath · 1 year ago

I just found it amusing, but it is odd how 'scary guy' thought such an awful thought at a cartoon strip!!

Insomniac By Choice · 1 year ago

Really ought to take out the "I'm free" in the last panel. It makes it a Ctrl+Alt+Del comic instead of a funny one.

Phantom · 1 year ago

Oh, please, IBC. You're like the guy who says a supermodel isn't up to your standards.

Personally, I rather like this one! "I'm free!" works just fine.

Daniel · 1 year ago

Judging by his past comments, IBC is just one epic fail after another.

Insomaniac By Choice · 1 year ago

Yes...sorry...im a little bitch who deserves to get spanked in his ass every day for the rest of my life, also i like men.

Insomniac By Choice · 1 year ago

Yes, yes, I'm gay. Whatever. I couldn't care less about getting slandered on the Internet, just like I doubt the creator cares about whether one person likes or dislikes some aspect of a particular comic he's made. But if you turn into B^Uckley and just say, "Hey, this is my stuff. You either like it or you don't," you're essentially surrendering to mediocrity, and nothing should aspire to that, even webcomics. No, he's not going to go back and change his past works on my account. Hopefully he'll think about them in the future, though, even to disagree them. Disregarding criticism is bad, disagreeing with it isn't necessarily. If you think it's better with "I'm free!" in, then you think I'm wrong. That's fine. The creator probably does too, although hopefully he appreciates some level of attention beyond "lol thats funny" repeated a hundred times over.

Of course, if you're just upset someone is saying "mean" things about a webcomic you enjoy, you're just being a fanboy. I'm not anywhere as talented or clever as the creator, or else I'd have my own webcomic. I found this after I found out PBF was ending and I was glad to know that something approaching that level of creativity was still going to be around. But the goal should always be perfection, and you're never out of line in saying that something isn't.

This shouldn't be about me because I'm just some guy who commented a few times, but if you want to by impersonating me, go right ahead. This is the Internet. No one gives a shit.

Love how the letter to Mary rhymes! This has to be one of my fave TBKs.

First two panels were all I could ask for from a cartoon.

well said IBC

Daniel · 1 year ago

I'm such a dick.

Smiles · 1 year ago

I understand what Insomniac by Choice is saying, but I feel that the (rather juvenile) "I'm free!" only adds to the 'comic' aspect of what this essentially is - a comic. As a fellow fan of the late PBF, I also respect where IbC is coming from. However, one must appreciate the fact that one cannot let his mourning for one thing seep into his criticisms of another.

That said, looking back, I DO think that this particular comic could have done without the speech bubble in the last panel. BUT that is only because the expression on the escapee's face so brilliantly says it all.

Oh! The umbrella made her fly?

I thought it was all that sugar...

B · 1 year ago

i agree whith constructive critics.
and on that feeling,
most of the times, less is better.
u dont need the prisioner to SAY he is free, u are WHATCHING him fly away...
(pardon my english)

Guys its a good comic, stop complaining about "extra text boxes". once you can do better, then you have the right to complain, but not before.

PJ6 · 1 year ago

A large part of the appeal of this comic, when it's not being brilliant in another way, is figuring out the humor. This could have been done better with no text, especially if the second panel clearly showed an expression of complete bewilderment on Marry Poppins' face, which would have carried the joke completely. No text definitely captures the zen of this comic more strongly; I think the author should be very careful not to take the 'I don't get it' crowd too seriously.

Havelocke · 12 months ago

I gotta agree with you, PJ6, so to the author, draw the comic how you want to draw it! If you don't feel like adding bubbles to make it obvious to the ignorant, don't. Your intelligent readers won't hold it against you, I promise. :D
