How Not To Introduce The Plot #2

---

Contributed by Soap Committee of

Soap Committee says:

There are too many stories about hot elf chicks and poor village boys.
Or farm boys, whatever. They all seem to get their villages burned down and a
parent murdered here and there by a dark overlord. And thus begins another cliche-plot!
I also switched between hand-lettering and Comic Sans MS and inserted myself into the comic.

Phalanx says:

Here, the author assumes the readers are idiots and feels obliged to add pointers explaining every single little detail. Oh NOW I feel special.

Also note the use of screen tones.

Terotrous says:

I suspect the majority of plots start
with someone wanting revenge. Now sit down
and ask yourself, "how many times in the past
week have I traveled across the world because
someone pissed me off?" If the answer isn't
zero, then, uh... there's nothing wrong with
that at all. Heh... *Terotrous runs away*

Pot-o-cliches. Besides fantasy cliche's, there's one characteristic for webcomics: self-insertion of a character whining that he(she) can't update more often because he(she) has exams/boyfriend.
To avoid that, read Spare change, Warren works and he's married.
What more can I say? Arrows pointing at the next panel, when it's obvious what the next panel is. Pencil sketch left unerased on some places. 'T's all.
