IT HAS ALL SORTS OF GNARLY DEEP THEMES AND ITS GREAT ALMOST ZEN-LIKE CATCHPHRASE IS "THINK YOUR WORST!" unless you don't like sarah zero. then you can just shut up about your worst.

it's like a series of disconnected magazine ads

does sarah solve her problems with people through some kind of psychic, mind-control air humping or am I misinterpreting things somewhat?

also: god this is terrible why am I still reading this

I read about a hundred of them. The art is really graphic-designy and as such it's pretty nice. Nice typography and compositions anyway. As a narrative, or whatever it's trying to be, it feels like it's trying way to hard to blow my mind.

I didn't hate it either

the art was nice, except for some of the anatomy

i guess the attitude of the thing annoyed me a little (although apparently not as much as it did healy)

and it's really not paced well at all for whatever the heck it's trying to do

i guess visually it's kind of nice, but i really couldn't stand the pretentiousness. in terms of telling a story it's like "hug YOU READER THIS IS ART ITS SO DEEP"

The art is like a bad soda commercial.

I also hate how each panel is bigger than my monitor, despite the minimal amount of detail. It's just useless wide spaces everywhere ugh.

I escaped without discovering what a "contranet" is and for that I am thankful.

Don't break the rules. The contranet wields a mighty zero-tolerance policy over all things "less than perfect". And the contranet can be a cold and hostile place.

It's the kind of place where brittle and sullen, fecal-encrusted 40-year-old virgins hate on children for not being able to draw like adults, criticize the enlightened for their under-developed abilities to express themselves, and respond to people who stand up for themselves with let's be friends!!!!!!!1!!!

It's kind of complicated. You have to find out where it is, which server it's on, you have to pay off people to let you into the server cages, and once you actually get there you might have to punch a few extra servers in different locations depending on the host's redundancy policy. And these things are usually metal, so chances are you'd hurt your hand more than the server. Best case scenario you remove the case and punch the motherboard, but you'll get cut up and probably shocked a bit. Also, there's a bunch of other websites on that server so there's a lot of collateral damage.

Much easier to punch a website's creator.

This is not part of what looks nice about it. The art is generally not very good, but the typography and layout is pretty nice in a number of places.

miles sometimes you just gotta unleash your inner klaw

like... if you really have to only say something nice you could just say "yes gillian anderson is pretty. you're right." Don't be all "oh well you did a good job finding fonts."

Why did Klaw cease to exist? Is this some Green Lantern kind of shit?
