Little Gamers Downloadable Comic Book

Posted by Zonk on from the those-wacky-swedes dept.

Weedhopper writes "Little Gamers is a webcomic written by a pair of Swedes that's been up since 2000. They've called their art the bastard child of Hello Kitty and Bomberman. After breaking even on the print publishing of a compilation of their first 300 strips, they've released the book in PDF form as a free download from their website and on BitTorrent. Hope this sort of thing catches on in the world of webcomics."

    What's next? The love child of Bowser and a Covenant Elite?

      Only from Zonk. I wonder if it involves devient sex on a hardwood floor?

      Or pointless articles on "the 'wikification' of games."

      Really. Zonk should resign before he makes his public opinion worse.

    Lately, reading Zonk's posts is like showing up at a trainwreck where they not only encourage you to watch, but hand you a can of gasoline to help put out the inevitable fire.

      Remember that Cosmos I article a couple months back about "solar rails"? Half the comments there were about his typo. Does he proofread before he posts these things? Apparently not; if there is any error in any story I've seen, he has usually been the culprit.

      A Slashdot analogy: /.ing a server is to a DDoS attack as a Zonk story is to a crapflood.

      And now he accepts a submission comparing gaming to female orgasms. Taco should fire him.

    Some call the art the bastard child of Hello Kitty and Bomberman.

    I don't think you can use the word "some" when they said it themselves in their second strip.

    I don't have any issues with Zonk or anything...but do a little research before posting, for christ's sake.

    Great, all we need now are for some actually funny webcomics to come out in book form.

    So... So now I can download the comics... that were originally posted on the internet... that were published in a book... even though I can view them online for free?

    Hot damn!

      Actually the book is comics + commentary, which if you're a fan of the series can be pretty funny in its own right.

    Um ... to whatever jackass mod nailed the parent with "Troll", you nead to learn how to f**king READ! The subject is "*IAA says". He was not posting his own opinion, which would have indeed made him a troll. He was being sarcastic as to what the *IAA would have to say about it. If anything, it's marginally humorous, but it's not a troll. Sheesh.

    And, no, I'm not the parent poster - just someone who's fed up with /. mods who look for any excuse to mod a post down. At least this post gives you a legitimiate reason!
