Sorry, I've found a lot of the ACG comics you've posted pretty fun and I appreciate the unique character they have, but something in each of these stories annoyed me.
ReplyDeleteTrue, the super science boys not realizing they're about to land in water--and have no way of dealing with it--is pretty wack, but what's with the elementary school 'girls suck' attitude from the author's voice in the first story. The damn wand can do anything but let a woman shoot straight? Why no caption warning of cooties?
And that last story, too. The dumb secretary with dumb efficiency ideas. It takes a man, I guess, to keep someone with no sucesses on the payroll (hope he doesn't have any stockholders to explain that to).
And, again, don't these guys know anything about science? First, the guy's showing off his untested experiment in a regular office with no protective gear, and then they seemingly don't have even an elementary school level of science, because you don't put out a grease--or fuel--fire with water since that would slosh the grease out of the container and spread the fire.
I know, I know. It's only a comic book. I'll try to keep things in perspectve.
I did like the art, though.
