I mean, I don't personally read any sprite comics, and never have, but if the writing is good it doesn't matter how the art is made. You might as well say "No clip art comics", because there are plenty of horrible ones. But what about David Rees? Or Greg Peters? It's silly to discredit an entire style of comic making, at least without explaining why. And breakage of the fourth wall is over-used and abused, sure, but it can still be done with great effect. See Order of the Stick and Scribs. Why no sprite comics? I mean, I don’t personally read any sprite comics, and never have, but if the writing is good it doesn’t matter how the art is made.

The thing about those gimmicks is that they are only gimmicks, and usually are deployed to excuse the cartoonist from doing difficult writing and making a cohesive world for the characters to live in. If you can always back the strip out to "hey, it's a comic! *camera look*" then it's going to be bad. I have been saying all those things for years.
