I can agree with "badly drawn" and "has no plot". I started drawing ASCII art
this August, so I'm very much a newbie, and many of the episodes are last minute
work since it's a daily strip (on the website, not here), plus I'm not exactly a
professional writer.

However, "it's about two frames long"? Do you mean that each strip has two
panels? Sure, some of them do, but some of them have five panels.

Do you have any constructive criticism? Except for the comments disturbing the
flow, since the majority seems to like them. "Badly drawn" is good, I can work
on my skill (I hope). "No plot" is probably just due to the fact that NerdBoy is
a series of strips where each strip is supposed to be funny, and not an on-going
story like INSOMNIA.

Btw, do you read any other comic strips?
