Simply Incredible

Like many, I was drawn into Oo TS by seeing it everywhere on TV Tropes, and deciding to find out what the hell it was.

I ragert nothing.

Oo TS is, despite it's simplistic art, amazing. The characters are not only well-defined, they're developing and changing. And the change is subtle too, not like so many other modern forms of fiction that shove all the development into a short span. I went in skeptical, and by the strip where Roy meets his baby brother in "Heaven", I had become so invested that I cried.

Like the characters, the story is amazing. Although it starts off simple enough—a gag-a-day comic with little plot and lots of laughs—it soon enough develops into an epic, with well-thought-out twists and turns, spearheaded by an incredible cast of villains. The amazing thing, though, is that it still retains it's humor! This isn't a Marvel film, where the jokes feel out of place and kill the drama; the jokes add to the serious predicaments.

In short, read Oo TS.

Eh. Personally I can think of more than one place where a joke deflated the scene like a wet balloon.

To me, it\'s always come off as an even more pretentious CTRL+ALT+DEL, with delusions of poignancy on top. Fewer boring science in-jokes, but man, at what cost?
