The BigSniff cartoon is a novel idea but I personally fail to see any humour in them. Right-click, 'block images from bigsniff.com'

The comics are funny in a way different to the humour forum. If you dont like 'em ad block.

I agree. This BifSniff stuff is just not funny/clever.

Something I'll never understand -

Why do people think something that's not funny when it's "live action" might be funny when drawn? This happens all the time with animated things (eg. Shrek etc.) I really believe this is a big fault in humans (like our sheep mentality, etc.)

I second the motion to get boards users to submit their own comics and choose the best to be displayed on the front page.

AFAIK you don't make money off BifSniff cartoons (I could be wrong)

I've chuckled at a couple of 'em. Definitely not something I come to boards for though

The user-submitted idea sounds great.

I drew this back in the good old school days about a posh guy who was actually poor as piss. Still makes me chuckle...

I wish Id recorded myself laughing and uploaded it. lollers indeed. The line is stolen but meh...

Seriously though, MI, you comic sucked. Why? because I knew from the second frame what was going to happen. And I hope you can understand that the style of humour in your and Bigsniff comics is completely different. There is a forum here on boards where that stuff is plentiful, the Bigsniff comics are for those of us with different tastes (not neccessarily better or [insert elitest attitude]) just different.

But it's funny that they're not funny. I didn't notice before but this thread makes me realise how hilarious it all is.

Everything is funny if you look at it a certain way.

Stick that on the front page.

Well, having second thoughts now. Mister Fitz in the present cartoon looks like a deranged Flanders. Now if that isn't funny.

That is some subtle intercartoonality.

The latest got a smile out of me, possibly, nay probably because of the word 'anal'.

Regardless, it if earns money for the site I have no problem at it, not like I'm forced to hover on the front page and look at it.

Does it earn money? I thought it was established that it didn't (and if anything boards.ie would pay to display a comic, not be paid).

I presumed it was along the same lines as the ads in the top right although I really have no idea.
