i'm not sure i like Order of the Stick anymore.

and this is the bizarre part: one of the things that is making me unhappy is that there is way too much written content.*

the story has gotten too big to be communicated effectively in the webcomic format by someone who doesn't have the ability to crank out a page a day. i feel like it's being compensated for by jamming the panels full of word bubbles. i wish the Giant would either rethink, or write and post a few pages of text for us to read and skip the comic ahead to a point in the story that fits the medium. (and i think this problem is the big reason that Start of Darkness didn't do much for me.)

i feel guilty about complaining about the thing i get for free from a guy who is in poor health, but i don't believe any artist should get a pass on work they show in public. i don't need more punchlines; i just need more comic.

any other OotS readers feeling this? or the opposite?



*(usually i love and defend adding more words to comics. unless it's The Black Dossier which i still haven't finished because it was so densely printed that i was getting sick trying to read it on the bus.)
