Ed Contradictory

Alright! First timely review in… well, a while! Awesome.
Independently of each other, we thought Ed Contradictory was alright at first, but.. after a while the poor handling of the humor just got to us! There are some good premises - for example, one strip is presented as text, and another as a board game. Interesting formats, I thought.. but they were wasted with overly wordy, unfunny writing. I really hate that all we can say is basically “well… it's just not funny,” but that's basically what it comes down to.
Anyway! Here's Hark's chosen page, and here's mine. Hit up the forum with your thoughts, and check out our review of the freshly revived ragnadventure next Friday. See you then!

Hark: your art is shit and your overall story beyond boring. Kevin, your strip is not even un-pc funny. It's just crap on top of crap.

I think Ed Contradictory is funny. I do see your point about the walls of text though. He frequently breaks Will Eisner's rule about not having more than three sentences per word balloon. However, the more recent strips have been a lot better about this sort of thing. I think Ed Contradictory has grown considerably since its beginnings. Its best stuff is likely in front of it.
