Newest Feature: Moley Rants #20 - So, We're Off Again...
Quite frankly, I don't endorse the use of the copy-paste. Actually "technique" is being used with a fairly wide meaning here. There are few things you can actually do with copy-paste without looking like a hack and, believe me, basing your comic entirely in it, is not it.
Doing humore over it, though, I guess that's pretty clean.
And get your torches ready, tomorrow we'll have a nice effigy to burn! =D

Word of advice:Looking cheap is harder than looking good. Today's has it far too obvious that the characters are copy-pasted, so it just looks ugly.And yes, that's partially the point, but it's too obvious. CP webcomics generally hide it more. If Zip were in a more natural pose, the CP wouldn't slap the reader in the face. Just dropping the arm and changing the expression in some panels would have made this look more like a CP webcomic, which is the point. It'd still be ugly, but more accurately.Still, I lol'd.

Viktor, I must disagree. Looking copy-pasted isn't partially the point here, it's the whole point at all.
I was originally going to draw the first panel, then copy-paste the multiple layers, then change them slightly(including the characters expressions), but then I thought, since I wasn't trying to make a passable CP comic but rather a blatant satire, it would be better to copy-paste everything, and that's why you might also notice the background is the same, and my signature appears on every panel, rather than in only one.
I agree, this looks ugly, but it was deliberate. What matters more, though, is that you lol'd. That makes me happy! =D

Don't knock copy and paste, it's the only option for those of us who can't draw.
