Okay, here’s a game I like to play called ‘make the comic funny’! it was my favorite in the old mock threads and is sometimes a real challenge. Here’s the most recent comic:

How to make it funny? The first and easiest strategy is to de-wordify it. With basic comon sense editing, we get:

another strategy is ‘delete the first panel’ which often is just explaining the joke.

there are many other was to make cad comics funny, take the challenge today!

Clearly you don’t understand the joke.

You see, the first three panels are there to establish that Buckley McVideogames over there doesn’t understand how a 3D printer works.
In the last panel, the punchline is delivered: Buckley McVideogames over there doesn’t understand how a 3D printer works.

I think I just don’t have it in me to hate Buckley anymore. I think back to a simpler time when one of the worst things I was aware of online was a dude with a bad webcomic. Good times… good times.

Yeah, perspective ruins mock threads a little. There are so many worse comics out there, so much more deserving of actual ire, that a mere unremarkably bad comic like CAD sort of doesn’t satisfy anymore…

i never hated, or even had any interest in tim buckly the person. i just find it really humerous and schadenfreudy that the comic is so bad after so many years, there is barely any improvement. also, being writingly inclined myself, i find it funny that he just can not resist dumping words all over everything. sometimes he even has a good joke but buries it in so many words you have no idea whats going on until you really look for it. im sure there are plenty of godawful comics out there, but its the ones that are just on the edge of being good, but fall short in spectacular/terrible ways that make for the most laughs to me.

I mean, Loss will always (rightly) be a legend.

hervows and dontfuckwithus too

Strangle is a national treasure.

He actually is kind of a douchecanoe and a terrible person but, much like his comic, not in any particularly remarkable way that might make it in any petty way satisfying to engage with him or discuss it.

So, um… Buckley himself made a Loss edit 10 years to the day.

I’m at a… something… for words.

Congrats to Buckley for managing to make loss worse.
