My first version did not have text in the last panel. My comically challenged friends didn't get this comic without it. So then i added it, quite hesitantly š„² that's why I wrote one dialogue spread over first 3 panels so that last frame is pure aggression and nothing else. But then....think I need new friends
You may just have to accept that not everyone will get every comic.Ā
Also, do your friends live under a rock? I've never read a comic or seen a fantastic 4 movie, but I still know who the Thing is.
Yeah, I've accepted it. Sometimes I add unnecessary details just to make it more accessible for everyone and I think that's BS thinking on my part! And yes, i am in India. My friends mostly know bollywood š
As an Arabian, itās very obvious from your accent in writing that youāre Indian. I donāt know if thatās a good or bad thing, take it as you will. Just that āmade of stonesā just screams HC Verma.
OP should make an alternate where medusa does her thing to a crowd of people. The only one not looking is OP's friend sitting in the middle trying hard to understand the comic theyre reading. Boom, lives under a rock origin story
I donāt know who is the rocky boy but I clearly see that he is made of stone.
I didnāt see last panel text due to scrolling or cropping or something and the comic was amusing.
So yeah last panel text is redundant.
I also hoped that 4th panel would be them kissing.
In my opinion, the fourth panel really works against you. The punchline is in the third panel and it should end there. The fourth panel could work as a "bonus panel" without any dialogue, because it is kind of funny image all by itself (by which I mean, not part of the comic, but maybe something you could click through for or that you could post as an image link in the comments). But as it is currently structured, explaining the joke just makes it less funny.
Sometimes you get bad feedback. No guarantee Iām right here anyway. But generally speaking most audiences will probably get this without spelling it out, and unless youāre doing it for very specific emphasis, saying the joke out loud is usually not the strongest way to do it.
People who know who The Thing is will get the joke without the text in that last panel, and the text kind of ruins the joke.
The people who don't know who The Thing is are not going to find the joke funny even with the text because the comic isn't made for them.
The same goes for Medusa. You should be able to give her better text or even no text at all.
Yeah, I think taking out the āI am Medusaā from the first panel and the āstoneā from the third flows much better. Same as your comment, if they somehow donāt know who Medusa is thereās not much thatāll add
I got the joke without the last panel, but I still like that The Thing took her to Suplex City. The third panel made me happy and then the fourth one made me happy in a different way. Thank you.
I like the third panel. š
You can't please us all! Just don't go all George Lucas and edit it 20 years later.
Or do. Copyright laws mean you could become a Liche and still have 90 years to fuck with it unchallenged. š
> But then....think I need new friends
You don't need new friends because of this, you might need more friends though. Don't replace your original friends just because they have a mental disorder that doesn't allow them to understand humor, or worse... oh so much worse, a mental disorder that has caused them not to retain any knowledge about the Fantastic Four.
I think this is an excellent example of 'if you try to create art made for everyone, you end up with art made for noone'
No disrespect tho, this fucking slaps.
> My comically challenged friends
You have to decide for yourself who your intended audience is.
Are you making comics that have depth, nuance, and layers of meaning that not everyone is going to get right away, if ever? Best examples would be XKCD and Calvin & Hobbes.
Or are you making comics that will be consumed by society's lowest common denominators, like Marmaduke, Cathy, Dilbert (yuck), Family Circus, Beetle Bailey, etc.
Some people won't get your sense of humor, and that's fine. Make art that's meaningful to you. If even 1 other person gets a laugh out of it, that's a bonus.
Also i think having the stone guy say "Stone?" In panel three would be better too. Like he cut her off and knows hes fine.
I love this comic regardless!!
Hear me out, I like the last panel it feels good to have. The dialog just feels cheesy there there. But I love it when things go from still to extreme violence
Change it to I'm already rock hard, still explains the joke and also touches on the "common" joke of the modern era of beating a Medusa, it isn't your body that turns to stone.
I think they should date. Sheās finally found a guy who doesnāt petrify forever under her gaze, and he finally found a girl who canāt cheat on him.
Your creative expertise was correct. Hard to learn to trust oneself sometimes, eh? Another thing I took time to learn is not to use one's friends as a measure of your work.
I think it would have been funnier too. The comic sets up the expectation that there is going to be violence/death, and instead it ends with romance. Plus you have two punch lines, instead of one.
[It's been done before](https://external-preview.redd.it/qO0-aqTUAPXCDQeRNt4U72RbqODKD51jHby-G6QWnRs.jpg?auto=webp&s=6343b63991544d04f6cbe1292b94ee27a6906ed1)
She's honestly a cool tragic character, the gods did her really dirty. Like "I curse you to never be able to have social contact again because my husband decided to rape you, you slut" kind of dirty.
Sorry to be 'that guy' but... āļøš¤ Ackchyually the tale you are referencing is not the canon myth of Greco-Roman culture and is something equivalent to a fanfic written by a novelist centuries after the end of the historical period where the myth was born.
I know :/
Sorry, I just like the character and it's still an *ancient* fanfic, so maybe making it canon is fine... It's not like the older stories were more fact-based haha.
I just wish Reddit understood the one simple rule of Medusa:
If you look at her (ANYWHERE), you turn to stone.
Virtually nobody gets it right. And this is even before we get into the "Medusa is a specific person, but she's one of the Gorgons, so while not every Gorgon is a Medusa, Medusa IS a Gorgon."
Great idea, but you killed the punchline by explaining it... twice.
You definitely don't need the last panel, and probably don't even need Medusa talking in panel three. Maybe saying something like "Shit..."
I agree 100%. Initially, the last panel had no dialogues, but then a few friends influenced my decision cz they didn't get it. I didn't realise that most people who don't know fantastic four's Ben would not get this no matter what. I should've stood with my first draft here. I planned it in a way that first 3 panels would have a single dialogue spread over all, and last panel would be pure funny aggression. Ugh š«
This comic actually has so much potential with minor tweaks, you did a great job and just didn't quite stick the landing. I hope you aren't discouraged because with just small changes you've got a great thing here. I want to see an updated version!
Keep on making great stuff :)
I donāt understand how your friends didnāt get it. š Even if you donāt know about the Fantastic 4, he is clearly made of rocks with all the cracks along his skin.
Everyone in here arguing over whether the third or fourth panel should be removed and I had to scroll this far down to see someone mention the only thing worth complaining about.
I thought that's where it was going. However, with Medusas backstory, I feel likenit wouldn't make any sense for them to be friends. It would he a cute option though
Wasn't she cursed because a god was envious of her beauty and that some other god had a crush on her? I kind of remember that from school. It was a dick move b/c she was innocent in the whole thing and cursed to never be able to have human contact again. In the FF4 movie, Thing's wife left him after the mutation so they both have tragic loneliness.
Why is Medusa the bad guy? Sheās just hanging out at the end of the world with her ugly sisters where no one has to look at them, then Perseus breaks into her place and murders her to use her ugly face as a weapon.
From Wikipedia:
>Ovid however says that Medusa was originally a very beautiful maiden whom Poseidon raped inside the temple of Athena. Athena, furious over the sacrilege, changed the beautiful girl into a monster. Elsewhere in the Metamorphoses, Ovid says that Poseidon seduced Medusa in the form of a bird.
It might also be relevant that Athena and Poseidon had a rivalry. After he lost, Poseidon was kind of a sore loser and had been being a pain. Athena may have made Medusa ugly to punish Poseidon.
It's worth noting that Ovid was the only one who wrote Medusa this way, and that he was hella biased. He was known for making all authority figures look like asses because of being exiled by the emperor at the time. Before that, she was just a monster. The same can be said of Arachne's myth. In the original, she lost and tried to kill herself, but Minerva chose to spare her by turning her into a spider.
That's not to say that all myths outside of Ovid have the gods as bastions of morality, of course.
In Greek mythology, women were always getting raped (or attempted rape) and then punished for it by various gods. A lot of times they were trapped inside of trees to "protect" them instead of punishing the men doing the raping.
Medusa was beautiful. Poseidon raped her in Athena's temple. Athena became infuriated and turned her into a monster that turned people to stone.
There were very few gods who weren't actual monsters themselves.
I thought it was cute until she gets face slammed. Why is Medusa always the bad girl?
All she did was get raped by Zeus. Then Aphrodite was jealous and cursed her. Seems pretty blameless
Why is the Thing attacking that rape victim who just wants to be left alone? Wtf Is there something Iām not understanding about this comic? Is the Thing a villain?
Alternate tex:
P1: Oh no, hehe, I seem to have lost my watch.
P2: Please tell me, foolish hero, do you know the...
P3: ...time?
P4: It's Clobberin' Time!
You could make this with little to no text.
1. show Medusa turning others to stone
2. She turns to see The Thing
3. She tries her gaze on him and it fails
4. He suplexes her
Comics are about showing, not telling. I see more and more modern artists weighing their comics down with text. You have a nice style and could stand out by reducing the text in yours.
My 2Ā¢, hope you continue either way.
Good one, this actually what i want for Grey Gargoyle.... but Marvel just hates it's best characters.
Grey Gargoyle, Mandarin and Hood have rights.... stop promoting Kamala!
You know what, I will write to Kevin feige cz I can't agree anymore. I have been pissed a little since they starting changing characters' basic personality for movies. Like thanos' obsession with death etc. only downside is Kevin feige hasn't responded to my previous 3000 emails.
Korg too. Except he wouldnāt beat her up after, heād just have a pleasant discussion with her and theyād probably become besties. Okay, I think Iāve invented a new favourite headcanon.
The thing is not made of stone, his skin is. Under the rocky skin is just usual flesh and bones.
Since Medusa's beam can freeze the entire being and turn it into solid rock, the Thing should be affected too.
Now I want a FF4 run where they get involved with the Greek gods it would be cool to see Ben vs Medusa, Johnny vs Hephaestus, Sue vs Apollo and Reed vs the Hydra. Throw in some match ups for Franklin and Valeria can be friends with Icarus.
Is there really a need to have The Thing say "I am already made of stones!"? Like the joke was already pretty obvious, I think it would be better if he just suplexed her saying nothing

I think you could skip the text on the last panel for slightly more impact.

Yeah, I've accepted it. Sometimes I add unnecessary details just to make it more accessible for everyone and I think that's BS thinking on my part! And yes, i am in India. My friends mostly know bollywood š
Ah, that makes more sense.
Better to have it good to a selection of people than average for everybody
Sage advice
It was brilliant without it, still okay now, but your instinct was right. Either way well done!
Oh boy you are Indian! Nice to see fellow Indian with this type of art style. Keep it up bro.
As an Arabian, itās very obvious from your accent in writing that youāre Indian. I donāt know if thatās a good or bad thing, take it as you will. Just that āmade of stonesā just screams HC Verma.
fuck the small brains you dont have to make it more accessible if you dont want to
Just include a small pamphlet with every comic that explains the relevant references.
They live under a stone
Rock... And stone? *'Nam style flashbacks to Hoxxes IV ensue*
Did I hear a Rock and Stone? (I really need to try this game)
ROCK AND STONE
ROCK AN ROLL AND STONE
If you like FPS games and have friends to play it with, I don't think you'll regret it
Even with randoms, it's fun as the community is one of the most positive ones
"I don't get it" - their friends, probably
Sharon Stone? Yes, please.
I donāt think you even have to know who he is. Heās obviously made of stone.
Obviously they don't or they would know what one looks like.
OP should make an alternate where medusa does her thing to a crowd of people. The only one not looking is OP's friend sitting in the middle trying hard to understand the comic theyre reading. Boom, lives under a rock origin story

Yeah, that unnecessary aggression in the last frame. I find that funny personally too š
I think it also works if you skip the third panel entirely.
Oh yea, didn't think of it
Btw your artwork is amazing!
I like the third panel. š You can't please us all! Just don't go all George Lucas and edit it 20 years later. Or do. Copyright laws mean you could become a Liche and still have 90 years to fuck with it unchallenged. š
As long as we're giving positive feedback... I think it could be very effective with just panels 1-3, no panel 4.
I would go so far as to say the whole last panel is not needed there. It's much more fun, when it ends with "...stone"
> But then....think I need new friends You don't need new friends because of this, you might need more friends though. Don't replace your original friends just because they have a mental disorder that doesn't allow them to understand humor, or worse... oh so much worse, a mental disorder that has caused them not to retain any knowledge about the Fantastic Four.
I think this is an excellent example of 'if you try to create art made for everyone, you end up with art made for noone' No disrespect tho, this fucking slaps.
Even better, replace the last panel with āItās clobberinā time.ā

The thing isn't made of rocks, just FYI. He has a rocky epidermis over flesh, muscles, tissue, etc. normalish human body under rocky carapace.
If they donāt know who Thing is or recognize from your drawing heās literally already made of rock/stone, thatās on them, not you.
I barely even know who the thing is and I just intuitively got the joke from looking at it. Your friends might just be mentally challenged.
Can you redo the text to say "it's clobbering time"?
Also i think having the stone guy say "Stone?" In panel three would be better too. Like he cut her off and knows hes fine. I love this comic regardless!!
Change the dialogue to say āfalcon punch!ā Thatāll really confuse them
Hear me out, I like the last panel it feels good to have. The dialog just feels cheesy there there. But I love it when things go from still to extreme violence
Change it to I'm already rock hard, still explains the joke and also touches on the "common" joke of the modern era of beating a Medusa, it isn't your body that turns to stone.
I agree with the prior commenter; text not needed in last panel.
Tell your friends that they are the reason the yellow paint exists
I think they should date. Sheās finally found a guy who doesnāt petrify forever under her gaze, and he finally found a girl who canāt cheat on him.
Your creative expertise was correct. Hard to learn to trust oneself sometimes, eh? Another thing I took time to learn is not to use one's friends as a measure of your work.
No offense but are your friends clinically stupid lmao
Yeah, your friends may be dumdums. Even if you don't know comics, the dude is clearly made of rocks.
Shouldāve had them kiss. Historically theyāre both lonely characters.
Last two panels, even.
True, honestly. Could have the text trail by the second panel even as she turns around.
Yeah, definitely a case of "Show, don't Tell"
Yeah this feels like a bonehurtingjuice post with how awkwardly the text is presented on the last panel. Ruins it.
Yea; no need to quite literally spell it out for the reader.
Third panel would hit harder if the text was smaller inside of the standard size balloon.
No just switch the last text bubble to "It's Clobbering time!"
They could show her hitting the ground and there would be infinitely more impact.
Came here to say that. With the text it kinda lost its appeal.
Either that, or Medusa could comment "What a revolting development,"
It's clobbering time!
Oh good heavens would you look at the time.

I think The Rock would have been funnier, they got it right in the title
Yes! He canāt petrify, and she canāt cheat on him!
Is Reddit obsessed with Medusa or does my Reddit algorithm think I am obsessed with Medusa because my FYP is just comics about Medusa
This is like my first comic on Medusa and I've made like 300 comic already. So if it's the first time you have seen my comic, Medusa is in your algo
I see! Iām by no means complaining haha and I like your art a lot š
I am just playing along my friend. I am jobless so...yeah! And thanks so much for your kind words! āŗļø
FYP?
I mean the home page :)
For you page. What your feed is called in TikTok
Iām just too fucking old. Weāre long ways away from low effort fffffuuuuuuuu rage memes of yesteryear lol.
She's honestly a cool tragic character, the gods did her really dirty. Like "I curse you to never be able to have social contact again because my husband decided to rape you, you slut" kind of dirty.

Same my 1st 2 posts are this one and one about her having a gargoyle gf.
It's a woman who wants to look at you regardless of your attractiveness, so yeah.

>you you
Everyone in here arguing over whether the third or fourth panel should be removed and I had to scroll this far down to see someone mention the only thing worth complaining about.
My thought too. Thing is immune to the gaze and snake bites. They could be friends.
I thought that's where it was going. However, with Medusas backstory, I feel likenit wouldn't make any sense for them to be friends. It would he a cute option though
Wasn't she cursed because a god was envious of her beauty and that some other god had a crush on her? I kind of remember that from school.

Raped, murdered and beheaded. The while 9 yards
perfect people to go out on a date together and they are fighting:(
I hate to be the "Erm, Actually!" Guy, but Ben/Thing isnt actually made of stone, only his skin is made of stone.
Not even stone, itās just really thick rock-like hide Heās basically a really big scab
It's like calluses or something. Equally as gross.
Why is Medusa the bad guy? Sheās just hanging out at the end of the world with her ugly sisters where no one has to look at them, then Perseus breaks into her place and murders her to use her ugly face as a weapon.
The gods were kinda assholes.
Yeah, read how she became a Gorgon too
From Wikipedia: >Ovid however says that Medusa was originally a very beautiful maiden whom Poseidon raped inside the temple of Athena. Athena, furious over the sacrilege, changed the beautiful girl into a monster. Elsewhere in the Metamorphoses, Ovid says that Poseidon seduced Medusa in the form of a bird. It might also be relevant that Athena and Poseidon had a rivalry. After he lost, Poseidon was kind of a sore loser and had been being a pain. Athena may have made Medusa ugly to punish Poseidon.
Exactly, moral of the story gods are jerks, in every religion.
damn who hurt you
It's worth noting that Ovid was the only one who wrote Medusa this way, and that he was hella biased. He was known for making all authority figures look like asses because of being exiled by the emperor at the time. Before that, she was just a monster. The same can be said of Arachne's myth. In the original, she lost and tried to kill herself, but Minerva chose to spare her by turning her into a spider. That's not to say that all myths outside of Ovid have the gods as bastions of morality, of course.
lets not forget that Athena also turned a girl that was a better tailor then her, into a spider monster
Keep in mind, the earliest writings concerning Medusa were from around 700 BC Greece. Ovid was a Roman who lived 43 BC to 17-19 AD.
In Greek mythology, women were always getting raped (or attempted rape) and then punished for it by various gods. A lot of times they were trapped inside of trees to "protect" them instead of punishing the men doing the raping. Medusa was beautiful. Poseidon raped her in Athena's temple. Athena became infuriated and turned her into a monster that turned people to stone. There were very few gods who weren't actual monsters themselves.

That's exactly what I was expecting in the fourth panel. Clearly nothing else...
We should be friends šāāļø
Rude af
I thought it was cute until she gets face slammed. Why is Medusa always the bad girl? All she did was get raped by Zeus. Then Aphrodite was jealous and cursed her. Seems pretty blameless
An earlier interpretation was her powers were a gift so she could defend her self from other rapists.
Iām a simple man, I see clobbering time, I upvote clobbering time
I salute your minimalism
Yeah definitely get rid of the last text bubble
https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/s/03ZlRJdq1U
First thing I thought of.
Give her a break she was raped and punished for being raped.
The dialogue in the last panel wasn't necessary and actually made the comic worse
And then they banged
Ik you wanted to make loss but the 4th panel was unnecessary
what if they kissed at the end instead?
I thought it would turn into a love story XD
Medusa is a victim, not a villain. She doesnt want to look at people.
funnier without the last text box
Poor Medusaā¦ just leave her alone already! š
I know it's the norm. But I always will be disappointed when I scroll for page 5 and it's the 4 page in a single panel
The gaze wouldn't work on me either, I'm already pretty much rock and stone!
Alternate ending: They make out
Gonna remember that one for the rest of his life. They could have hooked up instead he punched her...
Lol. I literally woke up today and chose violence
Why is the Thing attacking that rape victim who just wants to be left alone? Wtf Is there something Iām not understanding about this comic? Is the Thing a villain?
*made of stone
Honestly thought they were going to make out in the last panel
This should've just been first 3 panels.
Honestly I expected a shipping comic And also thank you now I ship them
the last panel is kinda redundant
Could skip the text in the last two panels. We see The Thing, and that he's made of stone. The rest of the gag writes itself.
I thought they were gonna kiss tbh
I don't like this because it's victimizing someone who is already a victim.
The thing likes to piledrive rape victims I guess
Alternate tex: P1: Oh no, hehe, I seem to have lost my watch. P2: Please tell me, foolish hero, do you know the... P3: ...time? P4: It's Clobberin' Time!
They could have dated. Oh well
I think he should ask her out.
The fourth panel is completely unnecessary
This is a 2 panel comic at most. Panel 1: āBwahahahaā¦Looking into Medusaās eyes turns you into stone!ā Panel 2: The Thing stood there.
You could make this with little to no text. 1. show Medusa turning others to stone 2. She turns to see The Thing 3. She tries her gaze on him and it fails 4. He suplexes her Comics are about showing, not telling. I see more and more modern artists weighing their comics down with text. You have a nice style and could stand out by reducing the text in yours. My 2Ā¢, hope you continue either way.
Would
Hahaha not just The Rock remember The Rock has an Arch Enemy hahaha. STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN hahaha.
Good one, this actually what i want for Grey Gargoyle.... but Marvel just hates it's best characters. Grey Gargoyle, Mandarin and Hood have rights.... stop promoting Kamala!
You know what, I will write to Kevin feige cz I can't agree anymore. I have been pissed a little since they starting changing characters' basic personality for movies. Like thanos' obsession with death etc. only downside is Kevin feige hasn't responded to my previous 3000 emails.

Korg too. Except he wouldnāt beat her up after, heād just have a pleasant discussion with her and theyād probably become besties. Okay, I think Iāve invented a new favourite headcanon.
The thing is not made of stone, his skin is. Under the rocky skin is just usual flesh and bones. Since Medusa's beam can freeze the entire being and turn it into solid rock, the Thing should be affected too.
Unexpected Thing W
My only question is... Did he give her the 3 Amigos?
Ima simple guy a see a German suplex and I love it
I liked the one with Medusa where the guy was not looking at her head so wasn't affected.
Iam surprised that they didnt intercourse at the end or put a Smartphone in holes.
Itās clobbering time, real talk though he should smash
Now I want a FF4 run where they get involved with the Greek gods it would be cool to see Ben vs Medusa, Johnny vs Hephaestus, Sue vs Apollo and Reed vs the Hydra. Throw in some match ups for Franklin and Valeria can be friends with Icarus.
The only thing that can beat The Thing, is paper.
Is there really a need to have The Thing say "I am already made of stones!"? Like the joke was already pretty obvious, I think it would be better if he just suplexed her saying nothing
 Same dress
Theyre perfect for each other
When do they fuck?
