The "production values" in/for the first CFC were generally better. As most would agree, I think, three of those best-produced ones were the spacejack and/or spacejack+someone productions (and calla's "webby's school, of course ..."). Most of the comics in CFC1 were 'gags' ("webby's", "hulver", "rumsfeld") in a sense, or 'reflections' ("Every Day"), with "Laundry Day" (sort of) and "Immortality" being the only really 'narrative' pieces, whereas, this time a higher percentage (of a smaller total) are somewhat story ("Déjà Joué", "Lucky Penny") rather than just gag/punch-line oriented, I think, plus a concept-piece or two (such as "A View from the Fridge"). More stick-figures this time, only a couple of the comic-creator type, and several that do not really interest me at all. That's the "in general, I agree with you" part.

I've read several comments (either comments here, or as part of the CFC -- comic1.jpg) about weather issues, time constraints, etc., which helps to 'explain' the quality and quantity of entries. Not sure if that matters, etc., except we're a bunch of slackers, since we had weeks to do this ...

Anyway, first one: 16 entries, of which three were three spacejack (and/or collaborations) that I liked, plus 2 joke/gag pieces: calla's (original artwork) and j3's, so about 1/3. Do I like about 4 of 12 this time? Yeah, though only a couple of them have good 'production values'.
