This isn't nonsense though she's trying to create a storyline but with terrible translation and the art doesn't help tell the storyDon't get me wrong I absolutely love Akira but Moggy is doing it wrong, either on purpose or that she doesn't know how to translate a storyline. She has given us no character development so we have no frame of reference as to what each character is all about, if I did a cartoon like this I would get mauled and understandably so unless I deliberately made it abstract and WTF. This isn't abstract (WTF) it someone failing badly and we are encouraging her to do so in some respect I actually feel sorry for her she will come away from this knowing nothing and think she has it all sussed. I feel sorry for her because we are laughing at her and not with her and she is so naive she doesn't even realise this despite me telling her over and over again to think about what she's posting.

Character development... frames of reference...you just pretty much described everything I don't like about JollyJack's comics. And so many other webcomics. I don't know but I think you might be trying to read a little too much into it.
In any case, I suspect the problem is essentially unsolvable, so there's little point worrying about it. It's like trying to talk someone out of Asperger's Syndrome.

think of her as an Ed Wood movie. :D
EDIT: There's actually a translatable joke in this comic though, you just need the reference that those two characters (the blue and green ones) are from happy tree friends the blue one being called splendid...
she's actually made a word play in a different language; which is some what commendable... although there is, you know, bondage and genital hot wax torture as well.

I like cryptic crosswords.Sometimes there are clues I just can't get. In those cases, I don't check later to find out. I like the head-bendery of it. Moggy is incomprehensible in various ways. Even 'her' identity is as stake. I think of this stuff as a disconnected artefact. If I don't get, or don't dig it, well, I don't have to get or dig everything. And the not getting and not digging as valid a position as getting or digging. I mean for me, I'm not recommending that this perspective is taken. But it is fun.

Oh, um, alsoThe chat Moggy inspires is often as entertaining and informative as it is voluminous. Which I feel is good in itself. *re-lurks*

Well at least you have gone someway to making the cartoon more understandable then but it really requires that you follow Happy Tree Friends which I had never heard about until about an hour ago. See what a mean about frames of reference? And yes the only thing I like about Jolly Jacks stuff is that it is so fantastically well drawn but often you are left with the same sort of feeling at least you can understand the language if not the direction of his webcomic.
But there are lot of people who post their webcomics in and b3ta and they are just simply brilliant and hilarious Ed's World to name one.
