I also changed 'planet' to 'planel.'

I think it was already explained in this thread, but when I read it, I didn't understand the comic at all. So I guess the punchline is simply that the game mixed up planets with their associated elements? Yeah that's... not really a too good comic this time around.

And both of the first two "edits" are simply fixing the mispelled word? okay

The joke is that in the game elements are associated with planets. It is implied that planet Earth would be the obvious choice for the element Earth.

I see, but in all honesty it still doesn't make the joke funny for me. It feels like I'm purposely trying to ruin this comic for everyone, but that isn't my intention. I'm just thinking that this doesn't really make for a too funny joke, despite the buildup and expressions. Maybe if the structure was different, for example "Okay so fire is represented by mars, wind by jupiter, water by mercury... oh, than earth will be presented by ea- *a note saying venus* wat". I just think the punchline gets lost too much here.

You don't like the joke. That's fine, just move on. You don't have to like or get EVERYTHING produced by the internet.

Hopefully, Katie will make more Golden Sun comics. I'm a great fan of the series.

And another one.

For some reason, Isaac's face in the last panel reminded me of the corn comic.

Sorry Reyo but as long as your name isn't green or red, you don't get to tell other members to stop talking.

Of course I am aware of that. But I am not riding on the point of "OMAGAWD THIS IS SOOOO BAD I DUN LEIK IT", I am trying to explain why I don't like it, and how it could've been improved/executed better; least I know is that Katie still wants to hear feedback what's good or what's bad.
Petah's first edit is a very good example of what I was talking about, I think the joke gets delivered a lot better like this.

Hmm, I think it was fine like it is really, the joke wasn't that strong but I got it immediately so the delivery was alright for me.

Wow, no, you guys misunderstand. I said that in reference to the fact that it sounded like Tatzel had to explain why she didn't like the comic, not that she should stop talking. I said it hoping it would relieve the pressure of "OMG I don't like this comic WHYYYY?!" that apparently doesn't exist.

Of course I wasn't talking for everyone, I was just throwing in my thoughts talking for myself. Maybe it might've been only me who didn't get the joke, and if it's one person out hundreds, then frankly it's safe to say that they don't matter.

I don't see what's wrong with explaining why you don't like something? I wanted to do it with the intent of trying to give helpful feedback.

It sounded like the explaining was coming from an air of discomfort over not liking the comic rather than one of helpful criticism, almost as though you had to justify not liking it. That was just to me though (apparently), and not to anyone else, which explains why my comment made me look like an asshole.
