Louder Than Bombs is a comic done by a duo of brothers. It's kinda funny and (appearently) kinda shocking but it's about the way we see humour in everyday things mostly. Check it out! Louder Than Bombs |

I like your drawing style. A lot. The juxtaposition of the panels with the captions kind of slows down my reading and comprehension though. Have you tried putting them left-to-right instead of stacked?

that's been a common criticism about the comic. It's something that (I feel) gets easier the more you read. But maybe we should change it up. Thanks!

I like your enthusiasm for experimenting, the not-typical layout totally jives with your drawing style. ...but it does kind of stall out the reading flow. Also, your name is awesome.

Also, your name is awesome fantastic. Fixed =D I've had the pleasure of seeing LTB around the web previously, and I agree that the artwork is singular and easily recognizable ^.^ The comic itself is nice to look at - while I do agree that a horizontal layout would be better in terms of first impressions, you're right to say that the readers get used to it after a while. |

I read through more of the archive and I now agree. |

Here's the story about the format. A few years ago Jay was working on long night shifts with nothing to do. At this point we had left our previous comic a year earlier so we weren't really thinking about comics at all. But he became writing his own comics called 'Irony' in which every comic was... ironic. I got ahold of a couple of his strips that I thought were great and drew up his comic (but with a little more pizzaz) cause the poor boy can draw worth a crap. I didn't want to mess around with it so I kept his crappy format and it's been that way ever since. It's really all because Jay can't design worth a damn. For the most part I really like how it irritates most people because they are too used to reading left to right. It's the little things that make life worth it  |

Oh. Yeah, thanks man. It's not a HUGE deal for us, but we're still pretty stoked about the whole thing. I'll be impressed when we get to 3oo or 5oo. Won't that be something?!
