This is a series I call “So You’re a Cartoonist?” which deals with all of the typical questions or remarks I receive whenever I tell people that I draw cartoons for a living. Read the rest of “So, You’re A Cartoonist?” here: [link]
***

Last year I found a TV with a VCR in it out on the curb to be thrown away. I took it home and tried it out and lo-and-behold it still worked (aside from the VCR part which was jammed with a VHS tape). I brought it to my very next comic con and it helped me SO MUCH in bringing people to my booth. Thank you trash day... thank you!

EDIT: I have no idea what the VHS tape is because we can't get it out. It's jammed in there pretty good. The only way to get it out would be to take apart the whole thing (since it's a TV/VCR combo).

EDIT: Yes, I have legs in this comic. Herp Derp. No need to mention it.

EDIT: Some people can't read. Shut up about the legs. I repeat: SHUT UP.

EDIT: Seriously. SHUT UP. IT'S NOT FUNNY ANYMORE! SHUT UP!

Well made~! I have to say, I haven't DevWatched you, but I am a follower, and I haven't found any faults at all in your stuff. I know, this is supposed to be constructive, but who says compliments don't help! I love the shirt by the way, and I've always admired the way you make expressions, they just prove the character's point so dramatically.
The camera angles are good, and the little "Point" thing added that little touch it needed. Can I just say it's kinda creepy- looking at this- that I'm analyzing this thing so closely? I mean, I've seen creepier Critiques but....
I guess I should say something CRITIQUE~worthy, so I'll say, where did the telephone pole go in the fourth panel? It's just like.... not there.... or is it that the camera is just in a different spot?
Anyways, Love the stuff, and keep working on it! It rocks! and keep the legs, I love the jean style, but perhaps a belt? I don't know what you wear though, so if you don't wear a belt you don't need it..
Back to the first sentence of the fourth paragraph, love the stuff, and keep up the good work!
What do you think?

Organization with these things isn't my strong point..

The expressions on you are cartoon-y in all the panels, and you lady's really is in the third. The way you draw her eyes are different in the first two panels.. All your other faces I've looked at had the bigger eyes like you have. Was this on purpose or something? (It doesn't look like the rest of your style :paranoid:)

As for legs.. Your legs in the third panel, the knees look low to me. It could be that we don't see all of the leg, but if it ends where the TV is, it would still be kind of off.. How often do you draw legs? :noes: The lady, her legs look about right in the fourth panel. (I forget her name, if I knew it, sorry. :noes:)

You both have sweaters after you went outside. Little details like that make look better. :la: You also drew the lady holding the cat while she was talking to you. (Has about the same effect as the sweater thing, Iunno. :shrug:)

As for the idea of the comic itself, finding awesome stuff is fun! :la: It reminds me of when Mom had that booth at the flea market, no one came unless we were playing games on the old TV. :lol: I guess people like TVs when they're shopping. :giggle:

Not knowing her name makes wording kind of awkward. :noes:

The cat doesn't look too happy about being repositioned in the second slide.

XD The edits cracked me up.

And that's a REALLY strategic way of bringing in the people...always use something that would be out of the ordinary that would catch peoples' eyes.
