No one told me there'd be violence!

  • Maybe this is a rejected e-Surance commercial being serialized

    Those things are pretty awful, too, and make about as much sense. Maybe next week (or worse, in a few weeks) KoF will say, "Quote. Buy. Print!"

    What's really pathetic is that the editors had to select a "well, there was a small improvement" letter to balance out all of the anti-KoF letters. The balance here is like Evolution vs. ID - 95/100 letters say it sucks, but the Editor's Choice category shows it as an even debate.

  • what is this

    who is this comic intended for

    it's less entertaining than Adam@Home

  • Merciful God in heaven above!

    I've avoided the comic itself for the last two installments, only reading the letters, but curiosity got the best of me and I just caught up.

    My God, what a crapfest!

    Y'all are right, it's still worthless. I realize I'm not adding anything new to the discussion, but I felt like I should post a critical note to make up for clicking on the abomination.

    There is one good thing I can say about KO'F: it's not "Mallard Fillmore".

  • "There is one good thing I can say about KO'F: it's not 'Mallard Fillmore'."

    You're absolutely right. The author of Mallard Fillmore:

    1) Understands the basics of comic strip construction.

    2) Creates his comic strip with the intent of pleasing his audience.

    3) Has more than three fans, all of whom live in Tribeca and personally know the author.

    You could also say that he steals from his source material more successfully (a green-feathered duck named Mallard Fillmore first appeared as the President on an alternate Earth in DC Comics more than ten years before the current political Mallard made his debut).

    But I guess, in the end, it's like comparing a briar patch to a thorn bush.
