You know those people who say that “less is more” and try to pass it off a deep wisdom, when really their just dicking you out of half of your fries? You should show them The System by Rosscott, because it’s an example of when less really is more, more funny, that is.

Jason and I had a heck of a time on this show, we were really in our element. You can take a listen and let us know if that’s a good thing or not.

Guess what we did. I’ll give you a hint. It rhymes with “Mooda Watch”.

That’s right, it’s time for another Zuda Watch episode. Jason and I take a look at all of the competitors over at Zuda this month.

So head on over to Zuda and follow along with us as we give our opinions of each comic and when your opinion doesn’t match ours, head on back and let us know. That’s what the comments are for.

Ah and now here we are at every podcaster’s least favorite place. I have to write something intriguing to hook you guys into listening to our latest show, but really all I want to say is, “Hey guys, look. We talked for 20 minutes and now there’s a show.”

I’m not going to do you guys like that. Though. I’m going to say clever things like “This episode is cooler than the other side of a popsicle wearing sunglasses.”

Wow, that went poorly. Here are the comics we looked at this time.

Tails by Ethan Young
Cucuc by Cathbad and Mirlikovir

Have you ever wished you could go back in time so you could tell yourself not to put your keys down, thereby preventing the endless search that you are now enduring? I think thoughts like this are what led to comics like Chronillogical.

Chronillogical, by Jon Chouinard and Greg Poulos is the target of our critical laser this time around. It’s a silly strip with silly characters so we think we fit in just fine.

Let us know what you think of the strip and the show in the comments below.

This show is not for the faint of heart, we say all kinds of words and phrases that my mother would not approve of. Of course my mother got on my case when I said “fart-knocker” so ample use of terms like “boobies” and “dick” along with phrases like “the c-word” (just the phrase the c-word, we’d never say the c-word) and “gay Barack Obama” would make her wonder where she went wrong.

Today we look at two glorious strips that are brand spanking new on the scene and that you should go out of your way to make feel welcome. They are:

I Love Tapes by Frank Gibson and Ned C Hugar
The Meek by Der-shing Helmer

Let us know what you think of these comics and our show in the comments below.

It’s time for another review, this time we harken back to a simpler time when all a man needed to score a massive pile of golden coins and a bar full of wenches was a good loin clothe, a sturdy battle-ax and a loyal blue dragon companion. This is the world of The Legend of Bill, a comical romp by veteran creator David Reddick.

We spend a lot time talking about the comic, and also delved into deeper topic of some of the differences between Web comics and those you’ll find in your local newspaper. You should listen, or we’ll sic our barbarian on you.

Digital Strips 162

May was an interesting month for Zuda, but an even more interesting month for Zuda Watch. We don’t have Brigid around to keep us in line so right out of line we go as we battle for our favorites, jeer those we hate and say bad things about each other moms.

Good times, good times.

Two new strips for you lucky people to check out and I don’t think they could possibly be much more different. From the bright and flashy Tiny Kitten Teeth to the dark and mysterious Lovecraft is Missing, all in one show. Plus throw in all the usual tomfoolery that comes to town when Brigid isn’t around and you’ve got a heck of a show.

Such a heck of a show, that we get into the actual nature of Web comics and what makes them so freakin’ cool. If you think Web comics are cool, than this show is for you.

I’ll be honest, if there’s one thing I think there are too many of on this Internet it pictures of cats saying grammatically impossible things. If I could pick a second thing though I’d go with journal comics. They’re worst than video game comics in the range between the good and the bad.

Today we take a look at one of these comics, Wasted Talent my Angela Melick. Does she soar with the Penny Arcades or suck like the many comics who’s names I can’t even remember? Take a listen to find out.

This could easily go down in history as a turning point in the history of Digital Strips. Not only is this hands down the most informative show in a long time, but I don’t think I made a single joke about any bodily function.

The source of the information and probably my new found manners is Mr. David Gallaher, the creator of the Zuda winner High Moon and all around nice/entertaining guy. We talked a lot about how to make comics better, how to market them and what kinds of influences cause a man to create the best Werewolf Western on the Web.

It’s good times, not to be missed by anyone, especially anyone looking to take their comic to the next level of popularity. Join us won’t you.
