I sometimes go there to read Bleedman's stuff and Everafter.

The actual Snafu comic is.. well... It's shit. Others may like it(Which is fine) but I think it's just complete shit and a waste of time to read. *shrug*

I read Everafter and Bleedman's stuff myself. Bleedman's an amazing artist and I really dig his style. I kinda like the sweet candy world comic so far. Of course I love Ginger. She's spicy.

I used to read Snafu. I forget why I stopped.
"You haven't told me what I'm looking for."
"Anything that might be of interest to Slitscan. Which is to say, anything that might be of interest to Slitscan's audience. Which is best visualized as a vicious, lazy, profoundly ignorant, perpetually hungry organism craving the warm god-flesh of the anointed. Personally I like to imagine something the size of a baby hippo, the color of a week-old boiled potato, that lives by itself, in the dark, in a double-wide on the outskirts of Topeka. It's covered with eyes and it sweats constantly. The sweat runs into those eyes and makes them sting. It has no mouth, Laney, no genitals, and can only express its mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the channels on a universal remote. Or by voting in presidential elections."

i usually need someone to remind me to check what Bleedman is up to, at least he is doing something original this time.

PPGD, maybe i'll wake you, but, for all i care, Grim Tales should stay in hell, were it belongs....and not in a "in character" way.

Well, to me it is like this:

First he did the PPGD, which basically is a "let's see how many popular characters can we cram into one comic" and it worked! one didn't care about how OOC some of them were, one just waited to see who would show up next and see the battles even if the story made little or no sense! it was just a massive character clustefuck and the masses were amused! huzzah!

Then, he stopped and started GT, which was more of the same, but, to me, it didn't work repeating the idea, just cramming lots of characters into one thing wasn't going to make as much impact again, plus, his attempts at making a more "serious" story failed, as did the whole poems, drama and attempts at injecting controversy. Plus im so sick of all this people glorifying Mandy so much, and even if he was known for making characters OOC, this was too much.

PPGD -> not to be taken seriously.
GT -> HE wanted us to take it seriously.

Then, He stopped again! Huzzah! and what's better, he started using ORIGINAL CHARACTERS, which eliminates any problem his past projects had, he only needs some time to make this new characters as loved as the ones he took from cartoons which shouldn't be a big problem taking on account the massive fan base he built.

so yeah, basically, it was the lack of originality and weak drama what made me hate GT.

I used to be into the PPG thing but I kind of grew tired of it. I kind of started out tired of "Grim Tales", which is kind of surprising since I totall dig Grimm.

Ever after was pretty neat.

Also, I wasn't actually aware there was a "the Snafu comic".
Anime is kind of like fish in that it is better the less "fishy" it is.

Another amusing fact about Grim Tales: Mini Mandy and Grimm Jr weren't even thought up by him. He got the idea from someone else's fan art. So he took the idea from someone else who based it off the original characters.

And the actual Snafu comic is terrible. All I ever see is the same old used up gaming/movie/tv references used up by a billion other comics and shat out onto that one. And not to mention using internet jokes long after they stopped being funny and shock humor sometimes involving bloody tampons or whatever. HAHA. SO HILARIOUS AMIRITE? It's almost sad that I know of some of those comics. Goddamn curiosity sometimes. I often go back to Snafu comics to see if it's gotten any better.
It's kind of sad when every other comic he hosts is 5 times better than his own. I'd go into it alittle more, but the rest is personal nitpicks and so on. In short: I don't like it, so I don't read it. :/
Sorry, just had to get it out there.

Snafu is one of the few comics where I have said to myself "Why am I reading this? It's just not good." I've actually just stopped going there.
