April Fools Comics on Tapastic

For me, it's like eating too much of your favorite food. :imagine a heaping helping of favorite food: now times it by 100.

I CAN'T HAVE THAT MUCH AWESOME!!! If i even look at it I'm going to be sick. Lol

There have been a few that have done clever spins on the strip, like DaneMen's strip is wordless and A King or Whatever did something fun to change it up.

However my favorite prank of the day is Sketchmazoid's Gurple Surd.

I thought meh mostly saw a bunch posted at midnight or whatevs. I wish I read more of the comments the shit talking was probably pretty funny. I figured that the joke ended with everyone making the same comic.

omg i got so confused when i saw that majority of the comics on my reading list was doing the same april fools joke XD
I personally think it's funny, and I might check out other popular comics for their version, though I can understand some people being annoyed by it

Updated the first post to have ALL DIRECT LINKS to each creator's April Fool's Episode, for quick clicking and comparing. ^_^ Enjoy!

I wasn't invited and I didn't know that there was something going on for April Fools', but I made this for Captain Ufo: https://tapastic.com/episode/320683

didn't like it, maybe it would have been better with out the trash talking idk.

CaptainUfo 2016-04-01 22:21:04 UTC #16

Are you talking about my comic? As far as I know there is no trash talking. I can't speak Japanese either (I used an online translation tool as the dialogue are not important), so maybe something went really wrong.

(Adding things down here because I'm clumsy and I deleted the old post instead of editing it and I can't repost the same message :\ Sorry)

i didnt get invited to it, nor did i use the same punchline, but i made my own rendition on my profile

Dozzer 2016-04-01 22:32:38 UTC #18

I dont think @thomassayle was referring to your post. I think he was referring to the first post, which is the topic of this thread.

It started getting old by the 5th comic. I just...I can't deal with that. Reading the same thing over and over and over and over again just hurt my head. When I realized what was going on, I really wanted to hit the "Mark All Read" button. But then I'd miss out on everyone else's comics and THAT would've been awful.

It could just be me, but I wanted to see everyone's different take for April Fool's day. Too bad that didn't happen. It took me two minutes to do my own AF's Day comic on Life Out Loud. Pretty happy with the way it turned out ^^

thomassayle 2016-04-01 22:57:31 UTC #20

no i was talking about the first post in this thread.

camillabluejay 2016-04-01 23:12:11 UTC #21

It started on Reddit, I guess. I'm so bummed, I totally woulda joined in!

camillabluejay 2016-04-01 23:14:52 UTC #22

I so woulda done this too, I think it's such a stupid/great idea! I did do an April Fool's comic here but now I feel like I missed out haha >_<

Dorkly did a page on it, this joke is bigger than just Tapastic... http://www.dorkly.com/post/77685/april-fools-webcomics?ref=homepage

We're gonna need a bigger boat.

It perfectly illustrated why I hate and avoid most gag comics and their hack writing/attempts at jokes. Same recycled jokes over and over again.

Not sure if that's what they were going for though...

isaacfriedman 2016-04-02 00:40:26 UTC #25

That's not what I was going for, but I think it might have been the intention of the slice of life comics and some of the generic episodic comedies.

efdvorsky 2016-04-02 01:07:49 UTC #26

But hey you updated : D that's good!! I did the same thing, although I DID make a joke post on the Extras page.
