Corahs Uncle: Please stop vandalizing this article. I admit that The Easy Breather isn't the best webcomic, but it certainly isn't the worst, either. Your complaints belong here on this discussion page, not in the article itself, though I'd rather see constructive criticism and suggestions for better stories.
Trouser Wearing Barbarian: Sorry, I tried to read it out of curiousity, and gave up before getting to the second volume because it's just that bad. Some things are too irredeemably awful for constructive criticism.
Grave Dave: Look, I'll admit that the vandalism of the wiki page is pretty childish,and I'm sorry about that, but here's the thing: I have read several webcomics over the years, some good and some bad, some with bad art but good writing and some with bad writing and good art, and I realize I haven't read every webcomic ever, but your webcomic, the Easy Breather, is without a doubt the worst webcomic I have EVER read. EVER.
Mostly because it's a huge dissapointment to me. I read "anti-smoking superhero" and thought "awesome", then I read the comic and got so incredibly pissed that I tought I was going to smash my monitor.
However, you do seem like a nice enough guy, strange though you maybe, so if you really want constructive criticism, I'll give you some a little piece at a time. Take in every piece of advice I offer, apply it to your comic, then come back for more advice and if you really do want your comic to get better, maybe we can fix it together.
So we'll begin with focusing on one of the biggest problems with your comic.
First off: NO MORE FREAKING NUDITY EVER AGAIN FOREVER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD EVER SERIOUSLY
I don't care if you say the nudity is not up for debate, because that proves you don't really want to improve, and I don't care if you say it is non-sexual, because here's the thing, it totally is. Yeah, it's not actually sexual in the comic, but it is quite obviously sexual to you. There's no way to hide it man, you have a public nudity fetish. It's totally cool, this is the internet and there are a lot weirder fetishes out there than "naked people" (I will admit to having a thing for seeing couples of different sizes and girls in army helmets (I'm on the burlier side and I like my girls petite, don't ask me to explain the second one.)) but your fetish is terribly obvious and makes every situation it appears in incredibly uncomfortable. It's so awkward and shoehorned in, and incredibly creepy, that it makes anyone reading it uncomfortable and turns them away. And it forces you to adopt a WEB-14 rating which denies you younger readers, which, considering the nature of your comic as an anti-tobacco PSA, is the one group you should be trying to reach.
So, the nudity makes your comic awkward, deprives you of an audience and is quite obviously only there to appeal to you. GET RID OF IT.
Mr Wednesday: Oh for crissakes, can't we just get rid of this article and close the sad little chapter for good? Nothing is going to make this page a worthwhile addition to T Vtropes. It's half self-promotion and half flaming. There may be No Such Thing as Notability, but there is such thing as suitability.
Twin Bird: Am I the only one who thinks this comic belongs under So Bad, It's Good?
Grave Dave: I think it's a tad too creepy for So Bad, It's Good.
Caswin: I've seriously considered that it might be a Stealth Parody. I actually believed it until I saw that the author had commented here. (Now I'm just uncertain.)
Can't find a good name: Another thing to note: it appears that the comic's creator is trying to present a Christian message due to various references in the dialogue ("Jesus doesn't want you to ruin your bodies with tobacco," "I believe our powers came from the Lord", "Only Adam and Eve had perfect bodies"). But it's my understanding that most people who seek out Christian comics would strongly oppose having gratuitous nudity in the comics. This is yet another factor that limits the strip's audience.
Corahs Uncle: Many superhero webcomics aren't intended for children. But answer me this: How is it that Dreamwalk Journal is on the Better Than It Sounds Web Comics page, while my comic (whose article I'm considering re-creating in Troper Works) is considered So Bad Its Horrible?
Grave Dave: Because "Dreamwalk Journal" is incredibly creative, character-driven and well done with the erotic elements actually playing a role in the story while your comic is terribly rendered, badly written, poorly researched, inhabited by nothing but the flattest of characters and has it's nudity shoe-horned in at the most awkward of moments? I have to ask though, why do you keep comparing your comic to "Dreamwalk Journal?" It's not even the same genre, the only common elements you share are being Poser-Rendered comics with lots and lots of nekkid folks.
Anteep: Let's keep this civil guys. This discussion is on the edge of turning into troll country.
{Madrugada}}: Corahs Uncle: This page has been rewritten over and over again, and I know that at least twice it was not "seething hatred." Yet you still reverted it right back to your own laudatory page. Despite being about your work, it's not your private page. If you don't want to allow other people to put up anything that contradicts your own opinion of your work, Take the damn page down completely. I really doubt that anyone will bother to put it back up.
