Star Fox News (by Greg)
Created by Strip Generator to appease the gods of Winter and end our torment! Heed us oh gods, end your merciless icy wrath upon your pleading worshippers!
This was slightly more timely last week when I first made this dang comic, but it’s still relevant and, unfortunately, probably will be for some time. The comic stems from the fact that Fox News, in another example of fair and balanced reporting, are once again trying desperately to correlate video gaming with tragic violence or, in this case, inexcusably criminal child negligence. You can either say they are doing this to further their conservative agenda, or they are doing this to sensationalize the news and get more ‘asses in the seats’ as it were, but either way you slice it it’s stupid and wrong and frustrating and rage-inducing. I’ve already ranted about this subject before so I won’t bother doing it again, it’s just…damn Fox, how could you bring us the delightful irreverence of Married…With Children, then go and do something low-brow like this? I’d expect this type of thing from the networks that brought us Paradise Hotel, The Moment of Truth (which just attempted to break up two marriages on national television), or When Animals Attack, but not you Fox!
Huh, what’s that? Those were all Fox too? Oh. Well, in that case, I guess, carry on.
By the by, do yall like the little splashes of color and different lettering on this comic? I added some after-market parts to my strip using Paint.NET, but it was a slight pain in my posterior because of my crappy work computer. If you like it though I’ll endeavor to do it more in the future, so let me know if you like it, hate it, or couldn’t care less.

Splashes of color are great, the different lettering is ok.

I like the lettering, for sure. The splashes of color are a plus; it’s better than using only that bright glaring red that Strip Generator provides for a background. That hurt my eyes a little on the previous comic.
Also, I lol’d at GTAids. A lot. Probably more than was appropriate for an open lab.

I like the color. The text is also nice. But, the color really helps. Stripgenerator needs to get on the ball.

In stead of being redundant and saying “yay, I like color too!” I offer this instead:
“Boo to monochromatic existances!!!”
But yeah, it’s a lot easier on the eyes than the insane red you were using earlier.

Well my only option was insane red.
Except for that one glorious week when I had green and yellow to choose from. But that was back when the world was alive and everything looked brand new. Thanks for the feedback you 4 people, I will endeavor to use color more in the future, when warranted.
