Have you ever wondered, “Is there intelligent life out there?” If so, “would humans make nice pets?” That’s the fundamental question of “My Pet Human”. A tale of happiness, sadness, and other inter-dimensional relationships. The story of a boy from another dimension, his father and what he learned when his dad brought him a present that will change his life. And hopefully, yours too. Carefully not researched in focus groups that will address important questions such as, “can a man live without a flat-screen plasma TV?” “Can the author learn how to draw?” And, “when is dinner?” You may not get the answers; you may not even understand what the story is about. Heck, if you don’t vote you may not even know how it ends. So please set your monitors, invite all your nerdy friends to get accounts and participate, and enter a world possible only in the imagination of someone who has nothing better to do. Please, let this synopsis have enough characters so the author can enter the submission and stop trying to figure out what to write next. And please, enjoy the world of “my Pet Human”. You’ll never see pet care the same way again.
For those of you who wanted to see the ending (and no surprises there), here's the link:

Hilarious! Laugh out loud funny!
You think tecmo bowl is more fun than madden 09???, that tells me all I need to know about you right there. ;)
**********************************************************
Seriously though I respected and appreciated what you had to say on MPD's blog. You knew you probably wouldn't be getting a win, but you wanted to bring something different to Zuda, which is a cool thing.
**********************************************************
As far as the art goes, you drew it well enough to tell the story you needed to tell, what more do you need. I know your down with stick figures, I don't like them, this isn't that so you actually get some points with me by not going the stick figure route.
*************************************************************
SCREEN 1 simple panel grid, simple layout I'm surprised (but happy) you colored it, but mustard yellow backgrounds??? You set up the premise of the story very well (your right maybe more Zuda creators should think less) and unlike some I see the promise and think the directions you could go with this are limitless. Maybe the human dies, gets the gold fish treatment, and another human is introduced. Maybe some new humans could be gotten. Maybe some kid gets a human and the two humans fight like two dogs??? All the wacked out hi-jinks that can and do happen with regular pets, can happen here only with humans.
********************************************************
SCREEN 2 more mustard yellow -AAARRGGHHH!!!!
***********************************************************
SCREEN 3 Humans don't make good pets/ just give them money -pretty funny.
***********************************************************
SCREEN 4 The big blue blob is such a typical dad, I really like their personalities.
************************************************************
SCREEN 5 His girlfriend dumped him, what are the chances she might end up in a fishbowl near him???
************************************************************
SCREEN 6 typical little kid, very funny scene.
*******************************************************
SCREEN 7 I liked the panel layout, it seemed like you did put a little thought into it. ;)
**********************************************************
SCREEN 8 HA HA a bear great kicker punch line.
********************************************************
It is a pretty funny series, I would have liked more jokes per page, maybe a few more panels to get them in there.

3/5 stars and my shortest comment this month!!!!
man! good!!! Excellent! A perfect story, very good, but the style is king of simple, i feel it not fits perfect to the comic, but is good anyways. The most funny part! : ThEY HAVE sTARBUCK TOO!
Feels like a newspaper strip . . .
brilliant! so much potential and the concept " pet human " nice. good job. and it was a one man operation.
I have to add while it is fun I do think I would lose interest quick.
Wow, this is something I don't say very often. "I agree with Sheldon."
The art is certainly simple (heck I could do it) but it works well enough for the concept. This is the quickest read of the month and that's a good thing. Reminds me of Avast a bit.
Dear Zuda Competitors/Creators,
I’m the creator of the Zuda fan blog, and I would love to interview all of this month’s creators. If you would be willing to answer 5-10 questions, to be posted on the Zudafan blog, please contact me at: zudafan@gmail.com.

Thanks!

i love it! you did a good job.
five stars.

Re: the art:
It could of worked, but with a storyline that complimented it, or even needed it. As is, the story doesn't need the sloppy art.
Page 3 panel 3 really makes me laugh. Good show and good luck. I think this is my favorite this month :)
I enjoyed this comic a lot. It doesn't deserve to be in 10th.
I liked the attitude but not so much the execution. More of my unasked for opinion can be found in the usual place:

Torn. As a Sunday comic? Gold. As a weekly/monthly comic book or graphic novel? Nah.
Hey, thanks to all. I really appreciate your critiques (Yes, even the bad ones). Winning is nice, but I enjoy competing and having your thoughts here as much. Don't worry too much about where it's going, just enjoy the ride. Which from the votes looks like is going to be a very, very short one. Heheh.
i will say right now, this is the POOREST art i have ever seen accepted to zuda. there is no way you spent more than 30 minutes per page. It's shotgun, tablet ready, dumb art that really ANYONE can replicate.
.
saying that, i love it. I seriously haven't laughed so loud at any other comic that i haven't PAID for. Your writing and timing is great "they have a starbucks too?" HAH! I see so much potential for this to get funnier it kills me to see it in 10th place.
.
For anyone that gives you guff about the art should go back and look at the consistently moderate to expertly illustrated zuda entries that were just boring as batshit to read because their ability to write just fell flat on it's arse. To be fair, your art and writing is better than dash steel, and look how well thats doing.
.
Get some more internet friends, Harry. Because my vote alone isn't going to win you the coin. Best of luck sir.
can't lie to you, i didn't care about this comic until the last page, which was priceless, comic genius. well played.
Here's the deal... If that Human is getting flushed in page nine and replaced in page ten, you sir, have one my vote.
I disagree with previous posters about the drawing style. I think the simplicity is great and you're not being pretentiously artsy. The story is (oh God I'm gonna say it, I'm sorry) cute. You may have done too good a job wrapping up your plot in the 8 panels allotted (is our little buddy gonna survive grizzly love?. I can see this becoming semi weekly read for me.
hmmmmmmm...funny but, hmmmmmmmmmm.....
Well, you're gonna catch some heat for the art style, and probably for your consistently-mustard-yellow backgrounds as well. But it is funny, and there are lots of places this could go.
This is an entry that makes me wonder what the criteria for being accepted are. I did chuckle in a few places, but the art is very poor, and the longevity of the story is questionable.
A confusing choice, Zuda. I can only shake my head.
Liked the humor a lot, good story, but the art could use some work. Nice as a little one-shot quickie, though.
This is pretty damn funny. The art is... well it looks like a 12 year old did it, sorry, but that doesn't stop it from being alot of fun.
The thing is, the concept isn't even that good. You've written this to be actually alot better than it should be. I agree with the "i don't know where you're gonna go with this" perception, but I think you totally know what you're doing.
This is so funny--I love your sense of humour. Bonus, I didn't have to blow it up to full size to read at work ;)
There have been more solid offerings in terms of humorous gems, but I did wish we got to see the next page. I'm with Maxx on this- how far could this go on? It'd be interesting to hear what may be in the works.
I got the humor and actually lol'ed. Who gets to say that. I just wouldn't be sure where it could go, or that the idea might get tired after just a few stories. You have great humor, so I could be wrong. I can totally see this on Atom Films as a short(s).
Humm...
Congrats on getting into the competition! It's not my bag...but funny none the less. Best of luck dude!
Well looks like a full new approach :D
Very Funny. A Female Grizzly Bear, now that would be a painful relationship.
