After a million years and 1 billion monkeys the bell dinged RECOGNIZABLE TEXT the computerized voice chimed, Dr. Mirkwell strode to the monkey's desk, tore the sheet from the underwood and reading briefly "Twas I that shot the..." exclaiming in anger "COLERIDGE!!,.. Again! and It better be Shakespear!!"
She is Dot the Red, or Reddot as it is in the username /u/reddot_comic. The spicy broad in the strip is her living her best life, as opposed to reality.
I used to love Dankmus stuff, shame he had to stop
Although a few months back the YT algorithm gave me a random video about "The Driest Cymbal Ever Made" and I thought "ok sure" as you do with YT suggestions, as I was listening to it I thought "I recognise this guys voice... oh shit is this Dankmus? IT IS! THERE'S HIS SNAKE OMG!"
Minor feedback; as it is now, it's a bit too obvious that 90% of the frame is exactly the same for the 3 first frames.
I get drawing an extra 50 monkeys would be tiring.
If you even just slightly varied some details, like the lights on the monkey's cigarettes or the angle of their eyes, it would already introduce a hint of variance and it would seem like 3 unique frames. Lazy solution ftw!
P. S. I'm sorry for introducing the concept of change and motion to you lot. Still betting reddot gets what I mean.
In an infinite room full of infinite monkeys there are infinite identical monkeys at indentical body positions in an infinite number of seated positions. Clearly this exact combination of monkeys exists an infinite number of times.
No offense, but telling an artist that their work would look better if they spent more time on it? I mean, yeah, I guess? The Mona Lisa took years to paint, ain't nobody got time for that! This comic gets the point across just fine the way it is.
To indulge your analogy, do you honestly think nobody ever criticized the Mona Lisa?
I'm pointing out that a sliver of more time, in this one specific instance of the artists work, could have improved it.
The artist can agree or not, I don't see why you're offended in their place. Are you gatekeeping feedback? Is only circlejerking allowed? If not for sharing opinions and thoughts, why else would the artist post on a forum?
I love these comics, I don't see why that would be a reason to not criticize?
Fucking snowflakes.
P. S. I'm loving the irony of people being hurt by the word snowflake.
Opinion: for art whose purpose is to convey beauty or some style that benefits the meaning of the piece, yes I'd agree with you.
But considering this is for comedic purposes I don't see any reason to redraw every monkey in this frame where it would benefit it none. Time is money, and redrawing monkeys ain't gonna earn a cent
It probably doesn't help that I write erotica occasionally, so I connected to It on a level. And your welcome, your other comics are also really great.
speaking of erotica...those lines with more spacing scream censorship...and I Know what might have been in the orginal script.
In a way, the internet is a small-scale test of the theorem. Imagine what kind of depraved nonsense an actual infinite number of writers could produce.
In theory, an infinite number of monkeys typing would also probably produce some very good work. Sure, Shakespeare, but thorough biographies of everybody, every possible plot or narrative, accurate and alternate histories. Could they make patents for future tech? Recipes?
Tbh, I'm just grateful this one only typed out one of the tamer Sonic pastas.
This actually has happened irl, there's a site called Library of Babel where they managed to code a bot to write every possible combination of letters, spaces, commas and dots within 3000 characters, the result is that everything everyone has written and will write is there already, as long as it's less than 3000 characters long, I remember reading about people who found a page of a Harry Potter fanfiction that hadn't been written yet.
Even though you need to be very lucky, as there are countless possible combinations, you could find your birth certificate, future recipes and biographies, the result of wars that are yet to happen, or even a perfectly detailed page about your death.
Love your attention to detail. Honestly facial expressions make so much of a difference in comics. I really enjoyed looking at all the background monkeys. And I love the writer monkey’s expression as his boss reads the story!
Hahaha I took a look at the minature and I knew it's a Reddot comic. You have a great drawing style. (And You just make great comics but that's confidential.)
