Message: Your comic doesn't really progress, and the story isn't all that good. The characters just talk and talk god knows where and their actions don't seem to have any real meaning, and that's been going on for almost hundred pages. It already feels like your story doesn't make any sense. It'd be nice if the readers knew something about the character's motives too.

Your main character seems to be the only one who matters, since he's the only one the readers know something about. There's also so many characters you can't even remember their names, let alone knowing something about them without reading the long descriptions elsewhere on the site. The page layouts and POVs aren't that great either, though you have a few pretty decent ones. The anatomy of the characters is off too. I do realize they're different species or whatnot, but men and women really do not have a similar anatomy. You draw females well but your men need some work. One thing I also noticed was that even though your characters have a lot of facial expressions they still remain somewhat expressionless. Almost like the artist wasn't putting her whole heart into the work.

This leads to the conclusion that the artist just seems to want attention and thinks too highly of herself.
 

— scream89 giving critique

Well hello. I can only wonder if you've ever read anything more challenging than W.I.T.C.H or Donald Duck. I don't think you have, because after all, PUBLISHED comics have the same kind of story developement; things happen and they're explained later on in the story. Since you didn't leave any information aside of your lovely teenage nickname we sadly can't have further conversations about your critique. A fine example of how teens these days are only after immediate satisfaction and lack the concentration to recognize the antagonist and protagonist and other such delicate pieces of the story. And if you've got such difficulties with internalizing more than three characters, you'd better stay away from, let's say children's show called Digimon. As for the art, we are very sorry you don't like it, but it is quality-wise a lot better than a lot of stuff being published at the moment. After all we've always aimed to improve the outcome and you're the first one to give us such harsh critique. I deeply wonder how you can label the artist an attention seeker.

Talking about men, how about Gaston?

Have a nice summer.

"My friend who started this whole ordeal", who's right here next to me by the way, has no idea when or what she's agreed with you. The mail she sent you still remains to be answered.

Surely you're not obliged to answer anything. But if you don't, you shouldn't go around making up stories of some "agreements".

I don't understand why people complain about the anatomy of your men. I mean does it matter if Marco has wide hips? I think it's kinda hot and not really that feminine. And I don't think the story is boring. But this is just my opinion, of course.

"Err. That protagonist of yours, Marco. Is he/she a boy or a girl? There wasn't any mention of that on character profile pages.
 

—Question by random visitor1.

I think it's mentioned about million times on character pages that Marco is a boy... or actually a young man.

—*Well I don't see balls either.

"Before I knew nothing about Jetronic I made a comic of creatures who looked a bit like your noids. Some of them were Goths. In other words, do you mind if I make my own site based on them?
