I like the way the artist draws, but not the way the artist humors. ---

They’re ok. Cutesy, yes but slightly amusing. I probably won’t look at them again but I don’t feel like I wasted those 2 minutes either… ---

More cute than funny. I tend to like cute better than funny and most funny doesn’t work for me, so that’s fine. I used to read “For Better or Worse” and “Stone Soup” more because they were cute than due to them being funny. Hate the artwork. ---

They seem like they were all done by some kid in high school who just got his/her first girlfriend/boyfriend. Meaning, that’s all they can talk about. Bleh. ---

They remind me a bit of [lunarbaboon](http://www.lunarbaboon.com/comics/strike.html) I really, really like lunarbaboon. Those were … adequate. ---

Didn’t get beyond the first couple comics on each page - was there an arc I missed? Anyway, what I did read, I did not like at all. ---

Nowhere close to funny. Quite juvenile. (I’m okay with basic artwork. Look at XKCD\* for example. Usually very funny but only stick figures.) But these aren’t funny. Don’t appear to be intended to be funny. Just trying to be “cute” but failing at that. - There’s a lot of exceptions, of course. ---

Maybe not “funny haha”, but I liked almost all of them. Could see why they wouldn’t be to everybody’s taste. ---

Would appeal to 14-year-old girls. Which I am not. I also immediately noticed the similarity to those awful [Love Is](http://loveiscomix.com/daily/20120904/) strips. ---

I found most of them amusing and a couple brought a chuckle. ---
