I wish i had access to these smileys 24/7!
If anything though, it could make for a good point about how shitty ass manga-esque comics use Japanese without knowing what it says... only because it's Japanese.

The letters on the mysterious door say "Fancy hearing cake".
I'd be lying if I said that my own art is not influenced by anime and manga. I'll openly admit that Yukito Kishiro and Shinichirô Watanabe have had a profound influence on my own artwork and story telling methods.
However, my gripe is less with anyone using the manga style and more with the mode of thinking that "if I used the manga style, my artwork will be an instant hit!" In my opinion, this kind of thinking totally stifles creativity... which "Why try hard when I can do something everyone else does and it makes me popular?" I've seen enough artists fall into that trap; they they put more weight on the popularity of the art style and less on any actual substance. Rather shallow in my honest opinion.
It's just that I eventually realized that comics and artwork that lack any sort of substance is doomed to fail. That's why you have a TON of artists who can draw really well still looking for work, as opposed to someone like, say, Jeffrey Brown, who actually has a ton of graphic novels published. ... Take a look at some of Brown's work and you'll know what I mean.
If your experiment succeeds, I'll be floored.
My intent is to simply show how easy it is for me to do something almost up to par with a majority of psudo-manga web comics out there without trying much, if at all. I guess by doing it, I've already succeeded. I actually hope it DOESN'T get popular.... 'cause I don't want people to think that the extent of my skill is just Muusugawa no Nihon, nor do I want to draw people who are only interested in more Muusugawa no Nihon and none of my other work.
If the intent of the artists behind Apple Geeks, et cetera, is to just kick back and have fun with their comics, then hey, more power to them! But I believe that if they attempt to do anything beyond that, something involving any actual substance, they're gonna fall flat on their face. The gaming industry is beginning to witness this with their own eyes (best example: DS's appeal to EVERYONE versus PSP's appeal to hardcore gamers). It's only a matter of time the (web) comics industry will face this dilemma.
....
Sorry! I can be really passionate about these sorts of things. (^_^)

Yeah.
Why do they all have hammers, anyway? And where the hell do they come from? I guess it's an offshoot of the technonolgy that lets a girl cram a cubic meter of crap into one leather purse.

...The female bit was a nice touch, I swear...they do that in most of those webcomics.
Well, when it comes to filler pages, it's probably a lot easier to draw a stand-alone image, then to think of something witty.
