OK, let’s see. I re-read the first comic (technically your #2) after I read this one, and, surprise surprise, I see a vast improvement. The backgrounds have become more detailed, there’s good black-and-white contrast, the characters are more animated (therefore funnier)… and so forth. It all looks a lot fresher, as it should. You don’t want to make something worse than what you did previously.
The story is also above your previous one, where here it’s still Brad’s crazy adventures, but it seemed more characters got play. I like how Marco is becoming a prominent character (he cra-zay!) Umm… actually, you know what, I’m going to read the comic again and just comment where I see fit.
…
What kind of talk show does the host pay off a guest? … Yeah, that’s what I was saying, like the different shots in the SUV are just really well layed out. I especially love the last one, where it’s like Brad is shoving Gerald into the background. … More great Brad disrupting traffic. He seems to do that a lot. … That ‘Pet’ ‘Petticoat’ thing doesn’t even make any sense, but that’s why I love it. Besides, it’s Brad saying it. … Oh yeah, the “Uncensored” gimmick. I think it’s fine, especially with Brad’s disgruntled father. … I love the pet crate scene and “MY HANDS ARE PURPLE WITH NUMBNESS!” … Brad’s elevated car seat is pretty good too. Reminds me of this Mr. Bean short where he stuffed too many things in his car, so he had to drive from the couch on his roof using two brooms for the pedals. It was pretty sweet. … Nice callback in Brad smashing through the CEO’s window. And good evil laugh too. … Um… good stuff with Brad’s dad’s guy hanging on the table, and him completely not getting Marco’s coverup about character. … “I’ve… drived him places!” I love lines where you can just hear them in your head. … “Goddammit.” Same thing with Gerald. Just cold and flatly said. … Good work drawing the kiss. You have a problem figuring out how to draw characters kissing? ‘Cause I’ve got nothing on that. Then again, my characters have no relationship interests between them, so I think I’m in the clear. … Oh right, I forgot to give you props on the SNES. … Excellent cut to the newspaper, and Gerald’s “I was standing right here…” … Bleh, I’m done. Time for final thoughts.
I love how this thing flows, where it alternates from complete jokeiness, but then there’s gotta be an emotional base too to give Brad some incentive to keep going. I don’t really think the ending is a cop-out, because Brad, at least for now, has learned his lesson and is driving off into the sunset. It’s up to the viewer what he does next. Or you. #4 next year? Also, I was kinda bummed that there wasn’t a lot of Deena or Colleen, but they played their respective roles, adding more conflict to Brad’s life. This whole thing really is about Brad, and I guess we know what he knows. Some parts were a little rushed, but nothing too great. Hell, my epic’s thirty pages longer and has some rushed scenes. You gotta draw the line somewhere.
OK, I’m rambling, and I have to go to work. Excellent, excellent, incredibly excellent jorb. I want more. NOW. Or whenever you get around to it.

Awesome man. Great illustrations, and realistic… Plot and characters aren’t just comic relief, they’re real.
