Louder Than Bombs

[JayFantastico]

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!

Bear mace is way more powerful than regular mace.  ;D

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?

[JayFantastico]

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!

[NoahRodenbeek]

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 :)

LOL. Open hostility to your readers is an awesome marketing tool.

;D

[mcfadyn]

Hahah, I meant nothing by it

[Rob]

Congrats on your 100th comic!  :o

[mcfadyn]

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?!

Hah! This comic is pretty funny.
