Once again this comic proves that you only need half as many panels to reach the fucking joke

Once again this comic proves that you only need half as many panels to reach the fucking joke.

Post shortened versions of some webcomics.

I don't get it.

Could be framed better. The Giant is hard to make out.

>The Giant is hard to make out
But you know what is going on because of the dialogue.

Not really. I had to look twice to understand what he was standing in.

Plus, you've applied your rule to only one comic. It would be beneficial to your argument to provide as many examples as possible that your rule applies, else it seems that you're merely cherry-picking comics that work with your rule, rather than what would be optimal and having your rule apply to any comic.

It could be done better if the first panel was zoomed out so you could see the giant. Then you could remove the text entirely.

>you've applied your rule to only one comic
This has been prevalent especially over the past month to the point that I'm inclined to ask the mods to sticky this sentence: There are more people here than OP. That is to say that you can be replied to by people who made the thread.

But it could be more clear which adds to the punch of the joke, and the ironic symmetry.

My apologies; my statements were directed at the OP, and I'm sorry that I caught you in the crossfire.

I like the comic whole

Suspicious

Oh yeah, that is way funnier.

OP, you unfunny retard, your edit is bad and you should feel bad.

The original strip builds up the joke and gives context to the punchline, meanwhile, the shortened version doesn't make sense and comes off as "randumb". In conclusion, OP sucks massive cocks.

It's obvious he's standing in a dead giant from the dialogue. The first two panels are nothing but pointless build-up.

Here's another one.

This is better.

i didn't until he pointed out the giant.

>The first two panels are nothing but pointless build-up.
It's not pointless. Have you ever heard of an establishing shot? At most, you could crop out the very first panel. But you need to establish the setting on its own first.

I think bursting out of the stomach of a giant monster of some sort is enough of a cliche that you don't need the first two panels to understand it. I didn't have any problem getting the joke in OP's post. That said, those first two panels also don't diminish the joke in any way since they don't have the unnecessary dialogue this comic usually has.

Honestly needs a beat between the two panels

This is still flawed. You could have the gnome cutting out of him in the first panel and the joke would be the same.

If the giant wasn't green and able to be mistaken for grass then this comic would work alot better.

>mistaken for grass
That's pushing it. Grass doesn't bleed blue.

This one doesn't work without the guy pointing out that the sword maker is bad, or you'd need some panels showing that the guy is super clumsy.

The panels showing that the shield is indestructible are what actually makes the joke.

This doesn't work as a joke. It doesn't work as a joke in the full comic either but you didn't imporve anything.

Just admit, your comedic timing sucks. You're the type of idiot that tells a joke and kills the humor on the room.

Outside the first comic posted; I have no fucking clue what the jokes are supposed to be in any of these. They seem to be random or niche unless you really know the setting.

Your point sucks OP and the lesson learned is don't take humor advice from internet basket weaving forms.

The guy has a black eye from fighting a training dummy, it's all implied in the first panel. The second panel is near identical to the fourth of just a guy talking.

>your point
I bet you think that's clever.

You are probably the kind of nigger who dont cook shit and just eat them bloody raw

Giants usually don't do that either.

This one actually does work.

>needing two panels to tell a joke
behold true comedy
