    I really love this web comic. I’m very unsure how it will translate to anything beyond its current scope, which is essentially translation of individual “moments” into literal language. The shtick doesn’t have a chance to get old when it’s never a situation longer than like 6 panels. But I’m curious enough to be mildly interested.

    And by all means, good for Nathan Pyle for cashing in on this. That’s awesome.

      Yep, agreed with all that.

      It’s definitely weird hearing the blue guys’ lines coming from modern over-enthusiastic voice actors. In my mind I guess I always imagined them talking like Coneheads or robotic munchkins of some sort.

      I thought the point was to laugh at the world from an Asperger’s-y perspective pushed out to absurdity, because when you step back for a second our human habits and rituals really are goddamn bizarre. So hearing those observations not in some calculated alien monotone but rather fully dynamic cartoon pitches feels somehow jarring to me. Maybe I’ll get over it though.

      But yeah. Congrats to Nathan for sure. Tiny trash! 🎉

    The language is not verbose enough. That’s the whole point. And the voices don’t match the vibe of the comics.

    Hopefully it turns out to be alright. Edit: on second viewing it’s not so bad. It’s kind of cute. But I’m cautious. Tiny trash 🎉

      This one’s a bit tricky since many people would have different interpretations of it.

        It seems like we all were angling toward a more serene, robotic or alien voice. Something more neutral.

        I found that interesting from reading the comments so far.

          Yeah, I would expect it to be more monotone, less emotion in the voices.

          I’m not really feeling it in the trailer sadly enough
