well complaining about panels is the only way to complain about something thats so subjective.
I use it all the time.
How do you feel about the president?
too many panels
How do you feel about the economy?
panels....why so many. They are taking our jobs
How do you feel about Katie Couric
She's faaaabulous....with a copious amount panels or not.
I AM JOHN!

Would have been better without the suicide note. All it does is beat you over the head with the point Scott is making, which dampers the joke. The picture of Banjo and Kazooie with her dangling in the background is enough.
Other than that, it's pretty good. In before too many panels. Oh wait.

Actually not a bad comic

It's sort of funny, except for the fact that they make the same joke in the game.

Wow, the last panel was so badly drawn, I thought Kazooie was just walking away, it took me a while to realize she hung herself.
Pity Scott doesn't do the same.

I argued this same premise in the Banjo thread a few weeks ago.

Fuck the haters. The site has popped out gems like this and the Ms. Pac-Man one. I can't hate on it.
2 / 263... well, can't argue with those numbers.

Again further proof that all Scott truely needs is an editor.Rayo said:

This comic wasn't bad, but man, this guy's execution is just horrible. Too many panels, too many unnecessary elements. These jokes aren't complex enough to justify it.
Someday I want Scott to make a MGS comic about Kojima needing an editor, though. For the laughs.

He really does need to think about how to convey the joke in as few strips as possible. Theres far too much setup here for a joke that isn't complicated: Kazooie has been replaced by a wrench.
This wasn't really as over saturated as the Gamecube strip he did a while ago.IronicallyTwisted said:
The entire message is essentially the unnecessary change in gameplay elements. Transplanting Banjo and Kazooie to a vehicle customization game really seems odd considering the original two were platform adventure games.
Overall, it delivers the message well enough and ends.

Hey guys, sexy party in the gold room! There will be peanut butter and jelly, but don't worry about the bread because we'll be too busy rubbing it on each other.
I never understood GAF's obsession with hating on VG Cats.
Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's not. There's hundreds of far worse web comics out there.
I mean, this isn't a professional video game or a movie or a comic book. It's a web-comic by a non-professional, who isn't paid to do this, he does this on the side for "fun".
It's free and you don't have to even visit it! The art isn't half bad. Sure his comics can be overly long in writing/panles, so?
Every new comic he comes out gets its own 3+ page thread on GAF like clockwork. Why?
Maybe its because he has some web notoriety and GAF thinks he doesn't deserve it due to his perceived lack of talent?
Is that it? Am I close?
So much hate here.
I'm not even defending the guy I'm just trying to understand.

I thought it was pretty funny.. but probably because it touched on the exact reason why I wish they put this idea into a new IP and let the characters who actually have physical abilities to use their physical abilities instead of replacing them with new ideas
On that note..
that was pretty funny too

Nuts & Bolts is by far the Triplest Triple A game I've played this year.
How many Jiggies are you up to and when did it start losing you?

:lol I thought he was just walking away on the last panel, the only reason I realised she had hung herself was because The-Switcher mentioned it.

I actually think the whole "building vehicles" idea would be more fitting in another Rare IP:
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts may very well be the closest thing we ever get to a Blast Corps 2, sans the transforming robots.
Bravo, Death_Born!
Unfortunately, many of these users got bored and stopped doing it, making people defending/complaining about VGcats look more vocal, and these threads are now pale shadows of their former self.
We used to have VGcats Photoshop threads here on GAF, where some users edited every issue to make it funnier, just for the laughs and with absolutely no hate involved. Despite the threads being even longer, you wouldn't read anyone complain for the excess of panels or stuff like that.Jackson said:

I'd probably drop the last 3 panels and leave it at the denial of expectations. It's repeated its point twice by then, and its a convenient cut-off point as it still has a single cohesive art style at that point. The last three frames just repeat the point twice again, which is somewhat unnecessary.
That is the very essence of the entire comic, but it's not quite enough. The fact that Kazooie is now redundant is not inherently funny.
Those convey the same point as the first six panels, but not in a funny way. People who haven't played the game also might not understand the joke. The point of the first 2 panels was to make plainly clear what game he's talking about and what that wrench-thing is.Rayo said:
