I have recently reread Pako's comic, and it seems n00b has been placed (without permission I might add) in a 'gang'. I thought Duckman transformed the three into little Katamari dudes for no reason(So I skim to lightly, wanna fight about it?) As the creator of the Freindship Gang, here's my five bucks:

Stop copying other's ideas. They say imitation is the greatest flattery, but not like this. Brainfart comics are supposed to be original(Well not really, but the funny ones are original). Now all the comics are going to be either one of Crimi's plots, or three more dispensible characters tossed into a 'gang' to do god knows what. The Freindship Gang was meant as a throw-away joke, but I don't mind Crimi deveolping it more. The same thing happened with Marvin the Paranoid Android, and looked what happened. However for every Marvin out there, there are 3 cheap knockoffs. And cheap knockoffs suck. Horrendusly. People, stop reading Brainfart for a week. Don't read or watch anything for that matter. Try to come up with an original idea( this should be easy because you have nothing to copy from after not watching/reading stuff for a week) and use it for a comic. All of the FUNNY brainfart comics are more or less original. And you want to be funny, right?
Yes? Good, then stop making new gangs. They suck the humor out of the strip. Brainfart isn't some Movie-based Video Game where you can plug in any franchise into a platformer, and call it done. Have you noticed that Movie-based video games ussualy suck? That's why. No originalty or creativity.
Show me a good movie game, and I'll show you a team of deveolpers who tried to be different from the norm, and succeded.
