This is a photocomic by Ben Heaton (who also co-writes and photographs Terror Island, which deserves much more recognition than it gets). The premise, obviously, is that the readers submit strip ideas, which he converts into actual strips. He seems pretty brilliant in the whole webcomic-making arena, so even though it's only on strip 4 (soon to be strip 5) so far, I have high hopes for it.

Wasn't Mr Terror Island one of us?

Yes, you are both correct. I'm not sure why Mr. Heaton didn't already post here to let you know about the new comic.

Oh man, any comic that you can request ideas for gets a thumbs up from me!

Also, Mr Terror Island guy, if you're reading this, I sent in a request for a comic already! You should know it's mine because I put "Healy" in paranthesis after my name. A-and I think you should really use it, too, because I think it's a good idea for a comic! THAT'S WHY I PUT IT DOWN AS A "GOOD IDEA" ON THE SHEET, MAN.

(Although I'll understand if you don't use it. Tastes differ, after all, and it uses an element of sound that is difficult to put into the medium of comics.)

This one is brilliant

The good idea/bad idea thing on the request form is probably one of the funniest things on the site so far.

Granted, there's only 5 strips so far, but still. I like it.

My favorite is the second one for its clever wordplay, but I also like the fifth one for its dynamic panel composition and dark humor.

THIS COULD BE THE NEXT PBF

I hereby dedicate this, my 17th post, to the 6th Request Comics comic, which is due in a few hours.

I did see that one, and I like it! It might be a while before it gets into the strip, because I'll need to figure out a way to work the sound into it, but it is in my list of things to probably use when I can.

I sent one that has something to do with teeth I think

Is it a Mormo teeth joke

I don't think so, but it could be turned into one.
