Thoughts on Zoomer potato comics?
I've been wracking this in my brain for a little bit so I want to get y'alls thoughts on it. The Zoomer potato comics have always been done in color mostly just cause but I've thought of doing them with just lines which would make me get them out monumentally faster but I do realize that like a lot of the charm comes from the colors and they definitely wouldn't look as complete or detailed with out it.
So I want to ask you guys if you'd be okay with Zoomer potato comics being just lines? And be honest with how you would want to see them don't say that you'd want them to be just lines JUST because it would be easier for me.
The results of this poll also won't necassarily be what I end up doing but I just want to get an idea on if people would be open to this or not.

If it's sketchy like your doodle pages that's one thing, but a huge part of what makes the zoomer potate comics have their character is the weird things that have Way More Effort Than They Need like the photorealistic wild takes. I think the color is only as necessary as the amount of effort the rest of the comic takes, in other words.
Yeah, I'd prefer color. If the choice is between color and not color I'll take color over not color.
Unless the comic requires color for the bit, I think you could go without color. If anything, that could a bit later on with a four wall break commenting on the lack of color in their world.
I don't mind either, but I picked color due to it having a better dynamic to the comic at hand. If I go back to past colored comics and imagine them as just line, I would probably see the idea lose its luster.
It kinda depends, could you post an example lines-only comic? The thing that I'm most concerned about would be whether the exaggerated facial expressions came through the same
They'd still be similar detail would just more go to the lines which I can't properly show by jusrt turning off the color layer but yeah here's something of an example https://bsky.app/profile/goopyarts.bsky.social/post/3mjezoh2rus2r
