It's a worthy cause, give generously.
Just a bit of fun, I'm not trying to say all Mechanics are KSers (in fact, that's my Mechanic), so don't shout at me

[quote=Stratagem]It's not KSing, it's the societal statement which is funny. This is [i]satire[/i], the comic panel may not be literally funny because of the dry jokes, but it's the idea behind it that matters. This is a commentary on how people who KS have a false self-delusion that [i]they[/i] are the victims, and by portraying it with a media reference to telethons and charity events, this point is emphasized by gross over-exaggeration.
Whether or not the actual jokes were humorous, the idea is. It's not [i]laugh out loud[/i] funny, it's "funny" in the sense that this comic is a deadly accurate statement on the way an aspect of Maplestory's micro-society works, and I think that is worth a lot more than some one liner, slapstick, or toilet humour you regularly see on these forums.
Whether or not that was the poster's intention, I must praise him for his work.[/quote]
Thanks buddy. Although that was the idea behind it, it seems it can be fairly difficult to achieve such a message on a place like Basil.
[quote=CrazyBoo]The 1st tab at the bottom row reminds me of the saying "Give a man a fish he can eat for a day, teach him how to catch one he can eat for life"[/quote]
Yeah, that's what I was referencing. Tried for a while to come up with something that equally referenced that line and worked within the comic, but in the end I just stuck that on there. Could have possibly came up with something better, but in my defence I'm very lazy.
[quote=abskat91]I laughed harder at this comment you made rather than the comic itself. The comic is still funny though lol [/quote]
Haha, fair enough!
[quote=ciaspy123]Why are some people taking this so seriously? It's a joke, for jeebus' sake. He also explained he didn't think that all Mechs are KSers. Had he made this comic about DB's it would have been funnier, right? Or what if it were about dexless sins? Then it would have been "worth the front page".
It was an enjoyable comic. Although it wasn't laugh out loud funny, just keep working on some new comics and you'll get better. [/quote]
Thanks man, good to know there's a few people out there that understand I do have a few other comics up here as well which seem to have done quite a bit better, so perhaps I'm heading in the wrong direction!
[quote=SomeEmoKid]LOL called that number...
"Thank you for calling tax 2000!"[/quote]
No!
It said for me "Thank you for calling Tax 10,000

... and what if it had been " hey baby that you? im so horn..." click
Now I want to continue my GMS mechanic... :']
I love this comic, it's very touching...
I'm not gonna say "why is this frontpaged?" because I know mr. B just want to annoy me with it
i like the comment down at the very bottom left
I'm already supporting 10 mechs. Just seeing them happily KS is enough to keep me donating.
I'll donate as much as I have to other charities on TV.
Not a dime.
Never really seen a Mechanic KS yet! Is it really a scary issue?
[quote=looniemunki]although you're not saying all mechs ks, you sure are spraying fuel to the flamers[/quote]
It's a joke. If someone's going to take a comic as making the situation worse, that says more about them than it does me. The only thing I really do at the moment is Dojo, so even if all Mechanics did KS I wouldn't know about it. I apologise if it seems like I'm bringing down Mechanics, that's not my intention.
he looks so sad ;( i must give him my 2 bucks!

Thanks everyone who liked it To all those who didn't, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it.
[quote=shibiruru]how is this front paged?[/quote]
Because Mr. Basil knows that there is a guarantee on a "how is this front paged?" comments.
[quote=maorx28]"several maplers were injured during the making of this comic"

LOL just noticed that, awesome.
"several maplers were injured during the making of this comic"

I don't get it.
Concept was okay but you did a bad job with the jokes.
Broa eh? At least I know which kser to look out for.
