Title: Open letter to artist of "Grand Avenue":
Post by: B E C K on Jun 27, 2008, 12:54:50 AM
Learn how to draw someone walking.  Who the hell walks and runs like that?  I've just started paying attention to this strip and realize they're robots.  The multipanel one seems to remedy it in panel 3 but then he reverts to robot-walking again.  I won't bitch about how unfunny it is, because lots of strips have that problem.  (Maybe they're there in the summer because they sell more fucking ice cream!  Hello?)  But shit, at least get the walking down.  It's painful to look at.

Ha!  I never saw it as a Nazi walk.  A hat, some puffy pants, the right boots...  That's so Nazi!  [insert picture of Raven in a Nazi uniform that I'm too lazy to make myself]

The bottom panel is a classic zombie shamble.

Holy shit, today's.  My god, I'm no fantastic artiste either, but even I know this: the arm on one side is forward, the leg on the same side is back, and vice versa.  I looked up this guy: Steve Breen.  He has a fucking Pulitzer for editorial cartooning.  Goodness knows he didn't get it for art.  Look at that thought with no thought cloud preceded by a tower of ass-beads.  FTW.
