i want to see the comic at the top. if i hadnt scrolled down to critique it, i probably wouldnt have noticed it.

when i look at your individual comics, youve got mismatched font sizes. most of your site has a fairly small font. but under your comics, youve got a significantly larger font. it doesnt feel like its a part of the rest of the page.

Well the overall layout is fine I suppose. Like La'd said above the comic should be on top or else people would miss it. You might want to make other sections in the website besides just the links. That kinda gets a little boring after a while. I dont have the time to actually check out the other comics but the one on the bottom just isnt funny. I thought it was going to be, scrolling down I got my hopes pretty high, i was ready for a good laugh .... then nothing. Not even a chuckle :\

Besides that the layouts pretty good. The above banner could use some work. The arrow should be thicker to connect better with the text but its still alright.

Ooh ugh lose the frames.

I think this design would be much better in just a plain table.

Thanks, you guys made some great points, apart from the guy who said I should lose the frames, the way I have set them up is an artwork, people should study the frames and herald me.

I plan to redo the main formatting for the comic strips soon. If you are interesting in seeing it, I?ll send a message here when its done.

your usage of those frames is pointless your just doing it so you can have a black border and have it scroll in the middle. layers would be cleaner or at least a table...nothing personal but those comics make me wanna leave the site (please don't start a riot) i just don't like 'em...sorry...good idea though

I have reworked the web site, although your harsh comments didn?t help me much, instead they made me cry, I would sit in the toilet and just cry sometimes for no particular reason. The pain, the pain.

So if your looking for a good laugh and want to see how super fantastic the new site so you can give me some fantastic comments is go to.

hey eskimo, i don't say anything about your content.

but i have some suggestions:
1. lets the user change speed of auto refresh
2. show your comic centered.
<frameset rows="120,*,28">
<frame top>
<frameset cols="*,600,*">
<frame left>
<frame content>
<frame right>
</frameset>
<frame bottom>
</frameset>

3. display more rows

If you want to read more "Commuter Man" I've just uploaded 50 new strips, which I promise are funnier.

In season 2 Commuter Man goes back in time to the wild west and buys a bar! Are you laughing already?

Goto and click on Season 2 on the top. www.ozemail.com.au/~matt1/commute/

Thats the problem with commuter man, most people think its unbelievably stupid, but then there are the people who can see beyond it and find the true humor. I was at a party once and some guy that I had never seen before came up to me and said "Hey I really like Commuter Man" that was a real shock and no he didnt have down's syndrome.

Talking to yourself rarely qualifies as a conversation. Still I'm happy you don't have Downs man. That would suck verily.

The only 'true' humuor to be found under the skin there man is getting to the end and thinkin' sheet these are bad. Bad things == funny. I do like your page layout. But your content.... Guess that's a personal thing.

What kind of drugs were circulating at this party Eskimo? We've ruled out downs, but what of the narcotics?
