Too Much Information Webcomic Review

Warning!
This WEBCOMIC in Inappropriate for Kids
And possibly some adults.

I was thumbing through various web comics (as much thumbing as one can do with a mouse, really) when I noticed that there was one comic that was not ‘drawn’, not in the traditional sense.  A completely computer generated comic titled ‘Too Much Information’.  I admit I was highly skeptical that CGI characters could pull off the affect needed to pull in a reader’s interest but they are surprisingly perfect for this comic.  While you might argue that this choice leaves the characters with a somewhat ‘plastic-ey’ look they are no less emotive for it.  Stylistically speaking, it’s winning me over.

As per usual I started from the beginning.  Creator Andy Odendhal was being very honest here as the first page is a content warning; don’t read it at work people!  What I liked immediately though was that worked into what should normally be a very dry mature-content warning was a chortle worthy gag.

My rule is if I don’t laugh at least every other page I give up, but I haven’t been disappointed thus far.  Odendhal changes up settings, characters and plot in a way that lets me know this is not going to be your run-of-the-mill static comic  He’s even managed to flip around my assumptions a couple of times already, which is something not all comic creators can pull off with such interest.

The characters are getting ever more rounded as I go and each has a distinctive personality independent from the others, complete with flaws.  I love those little flaws.  I even love that, while all characters are funny, it’s never in the exact same way.  Though you can judge for yourself at http://tmi-comic.com.
