Title: Mac Hall
Post by: Sideways on 14 Jun 2005, 10:45: Even when the joke is lacklustre, I ADORE Mac Hall!

If Ian would update more frequently, I'd be a happier man. :)

Post by: happybirthdaygelatin on 17 Jun 2005, 12:10: Mac Hall is great. It's pretty awesome to see that Ian is going to work at sticking to his word when he says he's going to update. The writting is what I really like almost the most though.

Post by: ThinkDifferent on 10 Jul 2005, 20:13: The man definitely needs to update more often. I admit most of the time the jokes suck, but sometimes they crack me up and I'm laughing helplessly for hours. The recent "IM IN UR BASE! IM KILLING UR MANS!" strip is one of those. Also, comic 217 "COOK, you ignorant slut!" made me laugh for ages. Mac Hall has that talent for making jokes that just "hit me funny".

Lately, though, it seems like it's been one comic a week if we're lucky, and that comic is some nothing-special art with a lame joke.

I'm actually starting to prefer AppleGeeks over Mac Hall. I know it's just personal preference, but I like Hawk's art better than Ian's. Hawk's art looks more like anime, with bold lines and vivid colors. Also, AG's jokes are generally better, and the updates tend to keep to the schedule more. I appreciate regularity in a webcomic, which is a big reason why I keep reading QC.

Post by: Drewbacca on 10 Jul 2005, 21:11: I like the stories more than the art. Everything is so pretty that it almost isn't a webcomic any more, or more like a webcomic done by Weta Studios.

Post by: La Creme on 11 Jul 2005, 21:02: I haven't gotten around to reading much, but what I have is decent. The art blew me away though. The first thing my friend ever showed me was the "Cthulhu, the littlest elder god" one. That is brilliant art-skilltasms.

Post by: KJ on 12 Jul 2005, 11:30: I like Mac Hall, both for the art and the writing. Shame about the updates, though.
I actually prefer Ians art over Hawks at Apple Geeks, mainly due to the more simplistic approach to shading and the paler color palette (spelling?)

Post by: Garcin on 13 Jul 2005, 13:38: I'm a big fan, and have been through the archive a number of times. Definitely go for that VG/Slacker deal. Kind of disappointing that the site has essentially been broken since WoW linked to it though -- in response to the HEY SCARLETT DOOD comic. Wouldn't it be nice if massive amounts of traffic were good for a webcomic.

Post by: edwartica on 13 Jul 2005, 18:37: Hmm, never heard of it before today. It's ok.

Post by: happybirthdaygelatin on 14 Jul 2005, 10:11: Does anyone else have trouble with it not loading what so ever frequently?

Post by: Sideways on 14 Jul 2005, 10:20: Yeah, I get that a lot. I imagine Blizzard's link to their site gave them some bandwidth grief.

Post by: happybirthdaygelatin on 14 Jul 2005, 11:11: I noticed that they had the site pretty bare bones after that but even before that I've always had trouble connecting to it.
