We all know how much we’re dragging our feet here but real life has a problem of making this life impossible sometimes. To help out Steve and Jason have another review but this time it heralds back to the good old days of 3 comics. Each of these three are quite different and we even get some disagreement on taste.

just looking at that sixth panel has me in stitches….I know this Gal is going to be a star!
Sorry for the late comment, but I just got a chance to listen to this episode now. I have to take issue with what one of the reviewers (sorry, couldn’t tell who it was) said about Wonderella being too much like a guy or not being like a real woman character because she was too “reckless” or something. That’s actually one of the traits that I enjoy so much about Wonderella — that she’s like the female equivalent of that sort of “entertaining oaf” character, like Homer Simpson or like so many male webcomic protagonists who are self-centered jackasses and idiots. For some reason you never see female characters like that; maybe because creators think that women are all supposed to be sensitive and empathic, or level-headed and responsible? Anyway, just speaking for myself (a chick), it’s fun and kind of refreshing to see a character like Wonderella being as big of a jerk as the guys.

I think the author of Awkward Zombie is actually around or older than 16. AZ is pretty much generic, fill in the blank humor with the appropriate Nintendo theme filled in. It felt more like you guys were reviewing the artists potential rather than what is really there.
