  • Retroactive McCain Supporter · 1 year ago
    Verbal abuse... lovely. I have to wonder if Chris uses this in real life to be sooooo good at it as an author.
  • undead Sexy Loser · 1 year ago
    Based on a true story, eh? I can believe that. It's probably Chris's mother.
  • Narpas · 1 year ago
    Owen: me too. I tried that for a little while, and I nearly drove away all of my friends. Oh, to be a nerd, getting advice on the internet.

    Let's pimp his forum out while I'm at it.
  • you suck, im a troll · 1 year ago
    Yay for http://www.polkout.com for those who missed the memo. WHOOOO!!!!
  • Polkster · 1 year ago
    Hey, I was just looking at my site stats and found you guys linking to my site. If the owner of this site doesn't mind, I appreciate the effort! Be sure to join my forums too!
  • Polkster Look-a-Like · 1 year ago
    Looks like it all paid off!!!!!!
    Now I could die happy. I'm not going to die, but if I were I'd be happy.

    Polkster, he won't mind. He's not going to ban anybody over anything. If Chris did, I wouldn't have been here since October.
    (I've asked several times already only to be shot down by that jerk.)

    Polkster, do yourself a favor and avoid this comic. I'll suffer to put links on EVERY page but it'll be worth it.

  • Polkster Look-a-Like · 1 year ago
    I just wonder how many hits this gave you, Polkster. Not enough if I can help it. We need MOAR.
  • PolkOut comic fan · 1 year ago
    Polkster, it's all me. I'm just using different monikers. http//www.polkout.com fan
  • Polkster · 1 year ago
    I think a solid... one.
  • Polkster Look-a-Like · 1 year ago
    I wish I knew what that meant. (some sort of favor?)

    I poorly trolled this site, but have absolutely no intention of trolling YOUR forum. You're actually funny & whatnot. Let's hope Chris doesn't call you an "American-hating Arab Terrorist" too if you disagree with him. On an unrelated note, http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/Sore_Thumbs

    amirite?

    To anyone else, any & all views I've presented in this & other comment pages can be written off as SATIRE.
    [or can they?] Except Chris. All insults levied at him are genuine.

    I absolutely hate your comic, and do not find it amusing in the slightest (based off of the first... 70? strips or so I read a few years back, plus the comics that follow this.)

    Unrelated note, Bush helped Africa more than any other (U.S.) politician. You never hear about it, but hey, liberal media.
  • NotStephenColbert · 1 year ago
    I know of a great game you could reference.

    Do you have... Battletoads?

    Encyclopedia Dramatica's article on this comic. [note that these are legitimate problems]:

    "Sore Thumbs is unofficially the dumbest webcomic ever created. It has a bad plot, a worse premise, and is populated by a cornucopia of two-dimensional ideological stereotypes that substitute for real characters. It reads like God Mode if the writers were drugged-up hippies.

    Things that Make this Comic Bad
    1. The comic is about video games (although you'd be hard pressed to figure that out, considering only one in fifty comics actually includes a video game reference). The most unoriginal and overused of all topics to make a webcomic about. The artists no doubt put a full half second into deciding what to make their comic about. Yet, even so, this comic seems to exceed all others in raw badness.
    2. The webcomic second theme is 'politics'. Not politics as in making fun of stodgy lawmakers, or rebelling against the establishment, or dealing with foreign relations and public policies, but solely making fun of republicans. Not that this makes the comic bad per se, but in that these attempts at humor are pathetically low-brow, essentially resembling the jokes a 13 year old boy who just discovered politics (and decided he was a liberal) would make. This is a classic example of making something that could be funny unfunny.
    3. Typical anime/manga art. Tragically unsurprising of modern Japanophile-gamers, the artist cannot find their own unique style, and so pilfers from the Nips while under the impression they are 'cool'. The artists then makes a marked effort, just in case we miss the "point," to draw all the liberal characters as pink-haired or muscle-bound sex objects and all the conservatives as ugly beady-eyed creatures.
    4. Sucky plot. Admittedly, few people read enough of the archives to really find out the story line (there really isn't one), but those who have attempted have found out that it really is just making fun of the ugly republican (who is basically a stereotype Jew) as he does evil/stupid/greedy things. Everything else is really just obscure pop-culture jokes and romance between the two liberal sex-objects.
    5. Sucky Characters. First, note that the writer is so out-of-touch with reality that he essentially believes that the republicans are a race of hyper-rich retards who consider the president to be a god and go out killing Muslims on the street (rather than the rednecks and rural businessmen that make up the actual demographic). He does not just joke about it, he really believes it. With the exception of staunch, outright communists, most people will cringe at these pathetically unrealistic antagonists. Of course, like every other bad webcomic, there is a small, cute animal that mauls the republicans in a "funny" way, in this case a tiny bear. And the muscle-bound 'good guy' is, of course, an Iraq war veteran and a former member of the 'working poor'.
    To conclude, this webcomic is absolute shit. It is not the slightest bit entertaining, will not teach you anything about video games or politics, and it is little more than an excuse for the author to submerge you in their own socialist/geek pipe-dream. "

    The truth hurts, yes?
  • xtxlx · 1 year ago
    Silly me for thinking Fairbanks is as crazy-right as Ces is crazy-left as Harm is crazy.
  • C.T. Jones Imitator · 1 year ago
    You're just stupid if you believe this is a good comic that's "fair" and "balanced" and not a liberal wank fest.
  • NotStephenColbert · 1 year ago
    Fairbanks is just a tremendously blownup republican stereotype so Chris can criticize the results & call ALL of them "crazy far right." You seem to forget there's moderate repubs & left-leaning repubs also. (at least Chris does)

    The liberal characters at this point aren't even being made fun of for being liberal anymore. (You saw something that sort of looked like this once wut 3 years ago?)

    Chris is introducing plot lines (if you could call them that) and dropping them like flies. That Rondel strip that recently popped up, anyone? Not only is there no plot, he assassinates potential ones in the making.
  • Retroactive McCain Supporter · 1 year ago
    Notice the lack of far-left ECO TERRORIST libs? They are all portrayed as "moderate" and the normal reasonable human beings in this shitty comic even tho they aren't.
  • Polkster Look-a-Like · 1 year ago
    It's a known fact all repubs are JUST LIKE FAIRBANKS.
    Therefore, all libs are ECO TERRORISTS. NOTICE THE WORD TERRORIST (CHRIS HAS AN OBSESSION WITH THAT WORD FOR SOME REASON LIKE WHEN HE CALLED ME AN AMERICA-HATING ARAB TERRORIST. ALTHOUGH THAT FITS A REPUBLICAN STEREOTYPE THAT THEY ALL HATE ARABS. FUNNY HOW THIS DOESN'T APPLY TO LIBS. Whooo!!!

  • undead Sexy Loser · 1 year ago
    I can't possibly be the only one seeing Fairbanks as a far-right repub being presented as the norm and then everyone saying repubs are stupid because we're all like Fairbanks then and now im using a running on sentence w/oout grammers.
