(From Rob and Elliot, by Clay and Hampton Yount)
Well folks, I’m trying to keep this criticism thing up along with all my school work at this end of the semester business, so for today I’m giving y’all a webcomic pick. Somthing from the slate that I decided is 110% awesome.
I don’t remember how, but I discovered this one, and saw the thumbnailed comic above. I’m still laughing. I laugh every time I see it. This is the perfect example of that once in a while time when a webcomic can grip me instantly. I only needed to see this one to know that I’d love the entire series.
Rob and Elliot is a absurd comedy. It stars Rob and Elliot, two roommates, and the wacky shit that goes down in there apartment. And that’s really it. You can have a setup that’s so minimal like that and it absolutely works. There’s nothing more you need to know other than Rob is a total moron, and Elliot is not.
And this comic just takes any gag it wants and totally runs with it. I’ll never forget Best Friends Forever, orSatan’s Candy.
I don’t know, I’m just trying to tell you that this comic is damned good. If you’re not reading it, you should be. All that good stuff.
I’m giving it 32 Awesome Points™ just for… being.

You probably discovered it, as I did, when Clay Yount started doing Bikini Suicide Saturdays on Sluggy Freelance. Which are also, might I add, excellent.

Actually, no. I don’t read Sluggy Freelance. Too much backstory to catch up on for me at this point.

Looks similar in artistic style to Random Assembly.
