Comments on: Coyote Trax’s Review http://ralfthedestroyer.com/2010/01/12/coyote-trax-review-2/ A comic about the day the Earth stood still... and nobody noticed.

Many web comics are set up like comic book stories and are finished in a fairly short period of time or in broken into chapters. This is unlike the newspaper strip which can often run for decades. I see your user name is a reference to the classic comic Mel Casson worked on. If Ralf the Destroyer were being published daily (as in a newspaper) the timing and rhythm would be quite a bit snappier. Six daily strips in the paper is one week, but on the web it's typically two weeks to six weeks or even more. Coming from a newspaper background myself, I often consider the timing (so no offense taken). But I do think it is mostly those who read newspapers that sense the timing difference as opposed to those whose experience is mostly web oriented. I could be wrong, but it's what I'm guessing. The other point is, I just want to have a good, strong foundation to build on since I plan on building quite a story on top of it ;) I have noticed that the rhythm of web comics is a bit different than that of a daily newspaper strip.

I wish the pace and "action" of Ralf moved a little faster only because I look forward to see what happens next. If Dillyfan happened to be a friend of Mr. Lincolns, he would hope the comment would not offend. An overall fine review.
