Maybe... <.< >.> Only a little.

I dunno, the strips on the 11th through the 14th struck me as legitimately pretty meta - given that they both suggest that God in the strip might actually be the hand of Tatsuya and for the first time give complete confirmation that Tatsuya's author avatar lives in the world he creates.

Especially the 14th, as it suggests that the strip we read is created by the author avatar and is just a relay of what he sees on any given day.

The combination of both is more than a little mind-screwy - Tatsuya sees God drunk drawing so he gets an idea and goes to his drawing board to draw God drunk drawing in the first place.

Might get into this comic.

  • Newspaper comic format.
  • Consistent artwork.
  • The jokes and content are much better than a newspaper comic.
  • Nice that it updates every day, with large color comics on Sunday.

Just to give you fair warning, though, it should be mentioned that it has all the subtlety of an orbital bombardment.

If you can't handle authors rubbing their opinions in your face, this just isn't the comic for you.

^You're saying that on the Internet?

This is very, very far from all of the Author Tract strips flying around.

It's only offensive if you think Garfield making fat person jokes is offensive. You could give it to an eight-year-old with no worries.

No, the only critique that could possibly be said is that sometimes it is a bit bland, there is not much consistent plot or uproarishly funny jokes or nongeneral social criticism.

Like @adam said, it's basically your perfect free daily newspaper comic. You can begin the day with a coffee and a look at that day's Sinfest and get a quick smile without seeing anything too upsetting. It's not revolutionary but it's very well done and as reliable as the paper funnies.

If you think Sinfest is Anvilicious, you must never read Prickly City or Mallard Fillmore.

Were you linking to the Sunday comic? Permalink

Somebody on the forums there summed it up best, I think.

kind of like to think that by showing the pamphlet blow away in the breeze, it suggests that Crim's her salvation, versus Church et al.

Someone else of the forum then noted it'd be an even nicer touch if God himself made the wind that blew the pamphlet away, as if to cement the "salvation is how you get salvation, not anything that can be given or imposed upon you," message.

Seems to me to be a set up comic for the color Sunday comic. The artist tends to wrap up weekly arcs on Sunday (if there is a theme that week).

I wonder who the arrow was intended for?

Crim's starting to become a replacement for Slick. (Fuchsia is his 'nique.) Maybe there should be a strip about that.

This thread only gets any attention whenever Criminy does something cool.

Today's strip really made it hit me how much this strip has changed since the olden days.

It really has. While reading it end-to-end, it is gradual. But when a 2000 strip is compared to a 2010 strip, the difference is striking.

Things like this confuse me. If the devil can turn anyone, no matter how devout, over to his side in an instant, why doesn't he just do that to everybody?

It probably only works on people who are already borderline cases, or secretly sinful to begin with.

Nice to see some other "so cat!" strips other than the Cats Are Mean ones.

I finally got completely through my Archive Binge last night...loving this comic so far, although I'm not really crazy about the ultra-cartoony Art Shift over the last coupla years...the art style around the '06 - '07 time frame was my favorite.
