Brawl in the Family

Post by Josiah »

Totally meant to post this yesterday like I was supposed to but didn't really have time before I saw Watchmen and after that I got sidetracked by some shopping that took way longer than it should have (and I still didn't find what I wanted) before getting home and totally spacing this out. So, anyway...

Today's comic is Brawl in the Family.
Plot: There's a couple of short arcs but it's mostly one shot gag strips about Smash Brothers and Nintendo characters in general.
Art: It's a little rough in the beginning but cleans up quickly. Nothing too fancy, but not bad.
Things to Know: A very basic knowledge of Nintendo characters (Kirby and Dedede in particular) is neccessary to understand some of the jokes.
Favorite Strips: Coming soon...

Ugh. The website needs a clean up. A lot of the links are broken.

But the comic itself was quite humorous. The Dedede Who Stole Christmas song was a nice touch.

Anyway, yeah, good short gags webcomic. Stylistically minimalist artwork. Odd sense of humor. And unfortunately a short read. Anyway, I'd put up favorites, but I'm lazy right now.
Hmm... This signature just got really short...

Weird. I just finished reading this Last wednesday. Anyway, It's extremely funny and I loved the one with Zelda's lullaby.

My favorite has got to be the one with Captain Falcon playing poker. Simple joke, but hilarious.

Does this mean you want to join the club, Phonox? How about you, Cheez?

Anyway, since not many of the actual members have posted yet, I'm gonna leave this up for a second week before we move on to the next comic.

I always tend to leave this to the last minute :-P

Great comic. The drawing is simple, but it gets to the point. I love the way the author plays with mixing titles, and the frequent "Kirby eats random stuff" gags. Also, now I know where one of Cheezdude's avatars came from.

This one was also funny.

Sorry, I'm just not ready for that kind of commitment. I only read one other web comic that hasn't been mentioned, and I have mid-terms comming up. I just liked this web comic and wanted to share my favorite comic.

Yeah, I had always kind of tried to do these on Monday, but... lately my Mondays have been the weirdest days of my life. If it doesn't happen by Monday, usually it doesn't happen, but... I did just have my first expereince with Brawl, so I resolved to read this one.

I like pretty much every comic that plays with Kirby's digestive system. Like this one here, for example. Oh, and this Animal Crossingcomic... XD I know the feeling. Most of it's pretty funny if you know anything about Nintendo; very few comics that just miss.

Art's pretty plain, but it does the job and doesn't get in the way of the humor at all. Overall, I liked this comic a lot.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Blarg. Just reposting this 'cos it belongs here, not there.

Wait wait wait wait....

Went and read through the archive yesterday night.

Great comic! It's fantastic. Sure, the art could be better, but it made me laugh several times.

Here are just a few of my fav's...too lazy to make the links all fancy like.
