2011 WEB COMIC REVIEW 35: TRIPP

WEB COMIC: TRIPP
CREATOR: BILL TAYLOR
UPDATES: MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS
ARCHIVE: 64
GENRE: COMEDY ON ACID



Wow what a week. Adjusting to the baby is harder and more fun then I thought.  Today will be a "mini review". Tdays comic is called TRIPP  and I found it to be a decent read. Unfortunately this creator uses "Smackjeeves" a web comic host I do not have a account with and don't intend to get one. I just don't feel like filling out another online form. This web comic peaked my interest to read it but as of now webcomics that I can't comment on probably won't get a full review and maybe a link from me. There will be exceptions like Drowtales, if a story, or art, or something blows me away. Lets get to it then.

Tripp is the story of an ordinary guy stuck in a never-ending acid trip.

Tripp must learn to cope with his new psycho tropically enhanced existence with the aid of his spirit guide, Edgar Allan Poe.

This comic is not an endorsement of drug use, merely one guy's effort to deal with an accidental, perpetual hallucinatory life change.


This story is actually quite humorous at times and the art and overal story is better then most web comics on the Smackjeeves  site that I skimmed through. This comic even achieved a "PageRank of 3" which isn't so easy to do on a host site. This comic does get comments from it's group of faithful readers. The website template is way better then at Wevolt.com and a little better then DrunkDuck since you can add things like what the comic is about and character pages. I recommend a look at this one!  You will have to bookmark this one and join Smackjeeves if you want to comment. A decent archive for new readers with 64 pages to start you off with. The website loaded well for me when I was looking through the archives. The only real knock on this comic is that it's on Smackjeeves and not on it's own domain. After reading even more of the archive, I found this web comic hard to stop reading!

WEBCOMIC OVERAL SCORE AT A GLANCE: 8.0
ENTERTAINMENT: VERY GOOD
WORDS TO SUM UP THIS COMIC: YOU CAN LAUGH BUT DON'T SMOKE CRACK

I've read a page or two of Tripp and found it interesting. The Big problem with smackjeeves is that it is the only website that is blocked and I can't read it at work. I did read some webcomics from there before but now I just get a blank screen
