I find this dangerously amusing

Our RSS Feed- 1990s SuperheroesIf you picked up a comic book, what would be some of the cues that would tip you off that it was written in the 1990s? If you were doing a parody of 1990s superheroes, what would your approach be? […]

- Ani’s Review Forum“Hi there, I’m Ani, a newbie to posting but a long time reader, and I’d like some opinions.

- Using the Evil Overlord List to Write More Interesting Villains1. If a competent villain must make one of the huge villain mistakes on the Evil Overlord List, the villain should have a good reason to do so. Here are some examples: For example, generally, it’s a mistake to try capturing a hero rather than just killing him (because the hero will always escape). However, […]

- Creative Ways to Use SupersensesI wouldn’t recommend giving your characters supersenses unless they develop a character and/or serve an important plot purpose.

I like the humor in Dinosaur Comics very much. But, why does every issue have the same panels?
Probably because real art is expensive and/or time-consuming. DC has a lazy approach to art, but the writing is good enough that I can excuse it.
Improving the art would require a lot of time, money and/or talent. For example, it takes me about 2 hours to do the art and lettering for each page of our webcomic. And our art and lettering are very rudimentary. If you wanted to do something along the lines of Dr. McNinja, you pretty much need a full-time artist.
This is a funny comic. I like it.
Especially because it is talking about superheroes, obviously.
Avi Arun: I am pretty sure that’s the whole point.
