[QUOTE=lucky;30171521]The fact of the matter is that no matter how terrible you claim the art and humor of the likes of Humon and Tom Preston to be, I would rather look at their stuff than anything I have seen on this forum so far.
Oh, your character is anatomically correct? I don't care. I don't look at anatomy books for fun.
Oh, your shading is very realistic? I don't care. If I want realism, I'll just look at photographs.
I speak for many, many people. You want to claim that we're less intelligent or experienced than you, and that is why we can't see why your art is so awesome? Go ahead. I'll just go look at Humon's stuff instead. He's more successful and well known than you. Either leave it alone and DON'T pursue popularity (which, I admit, is an admirable path) or make stuff that's actually entertaining and DO pursue popularity, but please, please, please, don't bitch about it.[/QUOTE]
In one comic Tom Preston has a stereotypical lesbian dyke dropping in to kick a stereotypical beauty queen in her underwear whilst shouting the line "[B]LESBIAN KICK!!!![/B]" (And this is offensive to me as someone attracted to their own gender). In that same comic he has a furry randomly blurt out something about Jalapenos.
In another comic he makes a big deal of things that everyone can do and acts as though they're talents.
In yet another comic soap is supposed to be funny. No, seriously. There isn't even a punchline, look at it

He's an okay cartoonist but until you can explain to me how anything he draws is supposed to be funny I'm going to hate the shit out of him.

Actually Tom Preston [I]is[/I] a capable artist, he's just a really, really shit writer and an asshole. I don't know anything about Humon, apart from a few of those world comics which have yet to make me laugh.
And you didn't really bring up any arguments regarding their writing, just that they are entertaining because they are popular (?) or some shit like that.

No, they are not entertaining because they are popular, they are popular because they are entertaining.

Many artists who are popular on DA tend to aim for "trendy art" such as anime. I personally don't see anything special about it. I'm not saying that it's a bad artstyle, but you shouldn't make it your only one.

[QUOTE=lucky;30171981]No, they are not entertaining because they are popular, they are popular because they are entertaining.[/QUOTE]

Right, see what you said before was just ''They're entertaining -BLANK-, they're popular''
With no connection between these elements (the "because"), it looked like you just pulled an ad populum. Because they're obviously not entertaining to anyone here except for I think one or two people. I'm not saying that because nobody likes them here that your opinion is invalid, but I will complain about Tom Preston's massive forehead genitalia all I want thank you.

If you want to do your own thing with your art, then why complain about him? He is completely irrelevant to you. You and he do not have the same goal. If, on the other hand, you want to gain some popularity with your art, then why not try to outdo him? In that case, you and he do have the same goal.
Neither situation justifies complaining.
In fact, you are silly.
