I haven’t tried Agricola yet.

It’s a shame because the whole concept of the game seems really well illustrated through the mechanics.

And face it, any game where you can make babies has to be a good game.

Anyway, the game cover is a little creepy:

Agricola cover

The distant look into the horizon, the wife happily coming into scene… creepy!

P.S.: Guess I wasn’t the only one to think the same about this cover! I’m actually relieved, I thought I was some kind of weirdo with odd thoughts about farmers and sheep.

    It doesn’t help that the word “procreate” is spelled incorrectly.

    Oopsy.

    Now I’m going to have to write that word 100 times on the chalk board so I don’t do it again. :lol:

    Not funny. As most of your comics. It’s just a way too basic humor.

    But all the 4 year olds that visit my site… how will I entertain them? :cry:

    I have been visiting this site for quite some time now, even though slow productions sometimes happen, i still like your comics! :mrgreen: keep it! more power! :grin:

    Thanks.

    Life just gets in the way sometimes :)

    I receive all criticism in a good way though ;) I see it as a way to improve myself, unfortunately when there’s no feedback there’s just no way to improve :(

    I’d like it if there were more people saying that they liked/didn’t like this or that and why.

    Thanks for your support.

    I thought it was gonna be a good old ” I have wood for sheep” joke.

    It kind of is… :twisted:

    Ok, forget I said that :p

    @Juiol: You sir, are the saddest of sods I’ve ever read in a while with your self explanatory one-liners, here’s some criticism on your criticism: “Back off, loser”

    @Tiago: Agricola’s cover is indeed creepy! The look on the sheep, that happy face on the farmer and the frown on the woman… yikes! I wouldn’t notice it if it wasn’t for your comic. Shame on you.

    This ep disturbed me by its randomness and slight perversion and I was wondering who you might be attacking the first 3-4 readthroughs… Then I noticed that game cover and I about died. I’m still wiping tears out of my eyes.

    Freaking hilarious dude. Your comic still delivers.

    Just stumbled across this site and am liking the comic strips.
    This one was kind of interesting - only really funny within the context of knowing the gamebox. Then I laughed out loud. Kind of creepy indeed.

    I try to balance a little between the totally obscure jokes and more widely perceived jokes.
    Thanks for stumbling by ;)

    I think I’ve seen your avatar around boardgamegeek.
