VG Cats #321: Sadness Confirmed For Smash

I think it's pretty clever that in panel #2 it looks like Greninja is drying Mewtwo's eyes with his scarf in a consoling way, but in panel #3 he's actually licking up those delicious tears with his tongue in a malicious way.

This is the entire reason I found the comic funny at all
 
People who hate on recent VGCatz are the epitome of "tryhard".
It's gotten better, let your hate meme die already.
You're dragging the joke on longer that VGCatz comics used to.

"You have to like new vgcats because I said so! Tryhards!"


Nope, shitty as ever.

This one wasn't bad.

Could be better though, as indicated with the wordless comic.
 
This one was actually good though

While I wont say VG cats is good

I will say these threads allow for people to show how shit their comedic timing would be if they actually made a comic .

Not saying VG cats is a vison of quality, I am saying you saying " it only needs this and this panel " when its fine as is just makes you worse the vg cats guy.

Those aren't the same type of comic, there are many deliveries for the same punchline.

The wordless comic is a meme, Lel, kek, kinda thing.

VG cats was going for disgust, it had to build up a bit . I would advise you not to hold how a joke reaches a punch line so tightly. You might ruin a lot of jokes for yourself .
 
I could nitpick sure, but this is his best one yet.

I think I said that last one too.

Um... it's also pretty relevant.

HE IS IMPROVING.
 
#3 alone isn't enough, it's like a punchline without context or setup. The most you could boil it down to is #2, #3.

Exactly. Without panel 2 you lose the image of him wiping away Mewtwo's tears with his "scarf", and that pretty much kills the joke he was going for.
 
It's fine here. First and second panels set up the scene of one Pokémon consoling another, and the third subverts it. Standard three beat comic. Any cuts and you start cutting bone.

There's nothing wrong with having more panels, just VG Cats author isn't EC Segar or Watterson who can easily pull off a longer-form comic.
