Rofl & Fred - Rofl, this and your last comic have been short and sweet and very charming. I've thoroughly enjoyed them! Like others have said these colors are unusual but nevertheless interesting for the style. You guys did a great job! Corn - The character interaction in this comic is really fun and entertaining! I do think thicker lines would make things POP more perhaps in the future- but it's totally cool to see you experimenting with style, especially in regards to the background/ coloring. Also Click in a dress is such a good surprise gag ha ha.

I... am confused but amused. ROFL had the visuals and fourth wall beaking but Corn's got the heartwarming moral.

ROFL: boooooi that waiter reminds me of every parisian waiters ever. The best part of this comic are the eyes floating in Ma's aquarium head Corn: Ma is a saint to stay calm at Frederic's antics. the colors were a bit flat this time? dunno.

Oh wow! I didn't realize until I read the comments that it was two on one! =0 LE-ROFL-ED: These colors felt so out of the usual bounds of what I'm used to from roflqu. They're cold, almost dead feeling and I kinda dig em?? It gave the comic something of a psychedelic fever dream feel that ends up in a cold sweat. I echo and understand the call for warmer tones, but I rather enjoyed that Lefred took us somewhere a bit spoopy! Comedy is roflqu's comfort zone and where he excels, so really this was a quick tight gag for so little pages. I'm just surprised you aren't tempted to pack so much more in. Your restraint for the sake of page count and pacing is per usual, groovy. I think my only complaint is some of the quality of the linework dipped here and there. Not that it's awful, but you did so fabulously with the quality of your last battle, I'm surprised that paired up, your quality wavered. CORN- I had to do a double take to make sure it was actually you and not like, some rogue under new management entry. What happened? Your linework is usually so bold, filled with delicious spot blacks that this felt surprisingly flimsy. Your comedy starts off at a good momentum, but once we get to the punchlines I feel you fizzle. Not really sure where this really went because you took us by the hand and lead us to different roads, but I'm not sure we reached a destination by the last page.

Freflq: The last battle honestly didn't strike me too much comedically, but I found this one super funny! The Cheeze Whiz bit was a bit on the nose, but then you just lean into it all the way and it really works. Feels odd for Ma to be so passive in any sort of storyline, though, even for the sake of jokes. Corn: You're going for a really bombastic style of humor here, and I don't feel like it works personally? Probably mostly because it feels at odds with your simple lining and coloring, which fits stuff much more placid and nuanced. And there's kind of a laziness to making a gag nothing more than "Look at the ridiculous over the top stuff happening," like that's the sort of stuff you rush out in a couple of minutes, not spend a week to do a couple of pages on. It only really works, imho, in that specific context.

This is hilarious and I kinda just want these two interacting all the time. TEAM FABULOUS - I'm going to agree with Pyras's comment about the colors, but overall it was REALLY entertaining. I loved the bit at the end. The fakery, just. the whole thing was hilarious. MA - HOLY SHIT MA. I am amused by this as well, but I think I the mismatch of the cartoon villain gag and the speech ma gave was a little... offset? like they seemed to miss each others points. (which might have been the point, but it felt weird?)

*waiting fo 3%* I laughed again guys good job Roflqu+Lefred: Great comps but I feel like the colors are a little sickly for some parts that I felt demanded more warm appeal like Dr Fab's pronunciation game Corn: I really like the character shapes but the lines themselves I think needed some more weight to them
