How did you draw this? by hand? paint?

well in the same sense it coudl be part of the joke.  I mean we have been saying year after year to make good games for the Wii and yet it doesn't happen.

But haven't posted in your comics yet, have read 3 of them now, not sure how many you made but like them all so far.  Nice and funny.  i don't mind the long read, but understand what others say about short and to the point.   Ha kind of makes it a "casual" comic, lol.  Guess their not hardcore comic readers like me.

Keep up the good work though, and to all those bitchers and whiners over them being pro-nintendo, look at the forum this is in.

There's "We've we have" for Mario's speech in second last box.

Yeah, noticed this one was shorter compared to your Pachter one (must have missed the other one) and it's better for it, but it's still pretty long.  Someone mentioned this is almost like a political cartoon and that's a good point.  Those are just about always a single panel and if you're going that route, you should do the same.

You completely made your point in the first panel and then you just hammered it in our heads in the following two.  Having the image of the guy with lazy developer on his chart, Mario, and a brief dialogue would go a lot further than the entire comic.

As for the point of the comic, we all love to talk about how horrible shovelware and cash-ins are but they do actually have their place.  Take my sister for example, she has three young kids and three DS's in her house.  That means she needs to be able to have her kids entertained with all three of those DS's at all times (we could maker the argument she doesn't need three, but that's another story).

Anyways, she could buy three cashin/shovelware games at $10 a piece or a single quality game for $30.  No matter what the quality of the game, a 4-6 year old is going to enjoy it just the same.  It doesn't matter if it's Mario doing sublime platforming or Dora barely fumbling across the screen, they don't care.  They only care they're doing something, not-so-much about the quality.  Furthermore, the cash-in and the quality game will last the kids the same amount of time!

Case-in-point-- my five year old nephew has this one *terrible* game (can't remember the name, it's some terrible movie game) on his DS that he loves infinitely more than New Super Mario Bros.  New Super Mario Bros is better in every way yet he still likes that crappy cheap game better.

So if you're the parent, what do you choose?  Buy three cheap cash-in games for about $30 or three quality games for $90 keeping in mind the kids will enjoy either game just as much as the other?

I'm not saying people old enough to know if they're playing crap should buy those games, I'm just saying they very much have their place and are very much needed.

Man, talking about needing editing and being more concise...

You know what's the soul of wit?

You should look it up.

The pills that Dr. Mario prescribes look tough to swallow.

Another great comic, I'm really enjoying these.
