I'm not worrying about how the jokes are written or which game is the context to these, but how Jo makes larger and larger foreheads on characters.

First: I like the comic, probably more so because I just started playing L4D2 again, but at least it's clever. I don't use Instagram, but I get it.

Secondly: I think, if Jo is actually saying non-dota 2 jokes are a dry spell, he's trolling.

I don't think that after 4 consecutive dota comics that 2 non-dota comics is considered a dry spell more of a quick break. After all variety is always needed otherwise it becomes stale.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact they were REALLY bad and almost lacked in general humor.

@Problem Dotahaters?:
I thought he said all long arcs were bad, regardless of which. And i thought he did dota comics, more so, because he likes dota2, rather than appeasing a minority.

@Crom Hellsgream: I found the characters from L4D2 really uninteresting compared with the original crew.

Heh, Left 4 Dead.

I guess Jo hasn't played L4D2 yet, otherwise I'm pretty sure we would get at least one comic about Ellis getting brutally murdered because he just can't shut up...unless his bromance with Nick ends via Charger ;)
Problem Dotahaters?

I like how Jo is just trollbaiting at this point. Clearly the people who complain about DOTA jokes are in the minority, otherwise he would have stopped doing them (just like he stopped doing TF2-arcs because viewership dropped when they were going on).

why the frak is everyone complaining about dota strips? are you paying for nerfnow? No? It's his comic. He can draw whatever he wants. so shut up and go read another comic if it bothers you. You're getting something for free and yet you complain? typical americans.

"You must have this much skill in playing our game to play our game and get experience" warnings should be mandatory for any ARTS/MOBA game. The communities rip people apart for not being pro. DOTA2 is not bad, but OTHER JOKES ARE GOOD TOO.

Probably good that you mix it up and not just do DOTA or TF2 jokes all the time, using the same topical premise over and over makes a daily comic such as this redundant, as well as for this particular brand of comic, exclusionary to those who don't play the particular game it features.

Hi there Jo.
You might be getting the impression that everyone who reads your comic doesn't like it when they're based off of DotA.

This is likely caused by many of your readers not feeling the need to comment on a comic with which they have no complaint about.

Have a nice day/night.
