Web Comics Day 6: Rob and Elliot

Rob and Elliot does not have a compelling story. It's not always updated on time. It doesn't fall into any niche markets, and it doesn't make itself noticeable by shocking/offending/surprising its readers. But by God, it's charming.

And therein lies the beauty of Rob and Elliot. It's just simply charming. The humor is always silly and asinine, and it never takes itself too seriously. It's not trying to tell a story or involve you emotionally with characters or make a point. It's just trying to have fun. And it has fun in a big way.

This is all helped by the art, which is golden. Color is vibrant, characters are defined and expressive, scenery is pretty. Clay really brings his A-Game in on this every strip, and his work pays off.

I don't have a lot to say about Rob and Elliot because there's just not a lot to say. It's just good, pure fun. They've just recently finished their 200th strip. Which means you've got some catch up to do.

In non-comic related news, I've changed it so my posts are signed with my name instead of GenesisGenocide. Not particularly important, but I want to make sure everyone knows who's saying what. Also, apologies for the post on the texture cache. I realize how poorly formatted it looks, and Blogger has somehow made me incapable of deleting it. Which is a little weird, but oh well.
