How Not To Start A Webcomic #13

What's wrong with it?:
- Made in MS-Paint (TM)
- Times New Roman is NOT a comic font!!!
Saving graces: Makes a very valid point about the two guys playing games thing.

So it's a comic, made by some nerds with no persona life (sic),
about two girls who make a comic about two guys who sit around
playing video games all day. It makes me dizzy just thinking
about it! Woah! *Terotrous falls off his chair*

Heh, don't make me started on this :-)
Well, hence MS paint and Times new Roman (which is probably the worst possible choice for a comic font), there is a lack of capital letters, which can be very annoying to some readers. There are also two futile attempts in shaded background in first panel. Seems like artist gave up on background completely in second panel.
Girl says "board" instead of "bored". There's a few more intentional typos, find them yourselves.
Then there is table, all crooked and amorphous.
And, yes, basically it's turning things upside down.
Usually we have authors who don't draw about their personal life. Then, authors who do write about their personal life, thinking that fighting with their brother in front of the fridge is interesting and unique enough to make it into a comic that that someone should read. Than, there is a third kind: artists who think their personal life is utterly boring, but still decide to make a comic about it, normally filling it with statements like "I'm bored", intentionally forcing reader to be bored too. Why? Probably because they think it's funny. I never thought it's funny to be bored, really.
In this comic, two sex-bombs involved in some kind of adventures with laser-swords and flying into space, decide to make a rather boring comic. This comic will probably appear as if it was drawn by two guys, featuring themselves. If girls decided to make a comic about their personal life, it would've probably been actually an interesting comic. Which is irony, I think.
