Art work is pretty crude, but it's fairly well-written, and will bring some knowing smiles to people familiar with guns and gun culture.

About the Comic
Failure To Fire is the internet’s first comic about gun culture in America. It contains adult romantic comedy, occasional coarse language, off-color humor at times, and various plot twists. On top of that, there will be strips every so often that are more than a little instructional, for those who are not familiar with firearms. This comic is primarily meant for shooters, but we will try to keep all information presented accessible to the public at large. There will be little to no talk of politics in the strips, as the creators are political moderates who believe that the 2nd Amendment should not be a partisan issue. Also, partisan political jokes just aren’t funny. And that’s where we’re going with this: funny. No preaching, no antagonism towards those we disagree with – just entertainment.
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. - Heinlein

I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. - Rand

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. - Hitchens

It was very slow to start, but as I went on, I got hooked. Thanks.

A writing teacher once critiqued one of my draggy starts with, "You've got to kick them in the balls in the first paragraph. Then you can set the stage for the ball-kicking."

I had the same problem with its slow start too, and didn't get all the way through it.  Cartoons are OK if they're all on one page, where your eye can scan down the page quickly.  But this one got to be a PITA to have to load each successive set of panels.  Maybe it would have been better as a slide show or something. 

Nothing wrong with the art, as far as I could tell. Every cartoonist has his/her own style.  Beats using stick figures, anyhow.

I do believe that the radical and crazy notion that the Founders meant what they said, is gradually soaking through the judicial system.

the part i don't get is why have a comic if you are gonna blog about it right after?
one or the other would suffice, no?
