- An Errand For Elm (#4- A Large, Small Selection)

Why is there some unwritten rule that says all sprite comics must be (or at least try to be) funny? (Are there many out there that succeed in being funny? I can only think of one that's ever really made me laugh.) I'm not a funny person, and any attempts at humour seriously hurt my writing (which is very apparent from these first few strips). As this is only getting worse, I'm going to stop right here. Otherwise, this comic will turn into one of the millions already out there that strive only to please the readers and I will strain myself and begin to hate doing this trying to come up with an actual joke. This page isn't meant to be funny either, but seems to come across as a bad attempt at it. I apologize. From now on, I'm going to do as I should have from the beginning and focus on the plot and characters and tell the story how I want to.
Of course, just stopping here wouldn't be such a bad idea either. The world needs more Pokemon comics that aren't based on FR/LG, but I don't seem to be helping the problem any. This may be much better in comparisson to earlier sprite comics I attempted, but I stil don't seem to be at the level where I can produce a worthwhile comic. If I can't straighten this out in the next few pages, I'll admit defeat and stop wasting everyone's time here.
Putting the heroes from the Hoenn games in is something I'm still slightly hesitant about doing. When I began writing the plans for this comic, they became characters without much thought. Red and Blue get to be in it, so why shouldn't they? Since at the moment I'm feeling like I'll end up scrapping this project pretty soon, I figured it couldn't hurt to allow them in. After all, the GSC games take place a couple years after the others, and the main character in RSE is from Johto, so it makes sense that he'd eventually return to take the gym challenge.

These are one of those PKMN comics that don't suck! ^_^

Please do some more! I like this. And it makes me laugh because it's tongue-in-cheek and makes these kids less like heroes and more like kids. I mean, come on. In the TV series, Ash is a bit of a screw up, so why is he all perfect in the game? More, I say! ~Lawnie

ur not wasting our time, I mean if you were why on earth would we come to look at your comic? I mean look at my comic, yours has alot better quality then mine, just dont focus on humor and try to focus it on whatever you intended. If you stop, me and your other readers will be really dissapointed, but hey, its your decision.
Shadow_X at 7:58PM, Jan. 29, 2006
Yeah, I can't rate.
Shadow_X at 7:58PM, Jan. 29, 2006
And either I can't rate again, or it slipped my mind.
Shadow_X at 7:58PM, Jan. 29, 2006
I would suggest not stopping this comic. You DO have faithful readers, you DON'T have to be funny, and this is one of the most damn interesting Pokemon comic I have read since GeneralRoshambo and Kevin Clifford's comics. If you quit now, you'll never return with the same respect you once had when you started.

Oh, just for the record, I was the 3rd pokemon comic, and the 1st kanto comic. I just got deleated with the old duck.

Hey man, don't stop the comic, I really like this comic! And yes... Sprite comic's can be serious, I mean, mine is serious, just ignore anyone that says differently... There IS such a thing as a serious comic, trust me.

...you made me laugh...is that a bad thing?
