Seems like there's been a general uptick in DDoSing lately? A tiny forum that's I go to that literally hasn't had a new member in years got DDoS'd last week. And I heard Battle.net was being hit hard, too. These tiny things might just be random collateral damage in some bigger 'fight'.

You could have put a fake name for the relative. (Like I don't imagine Nivose was actually christened after a month from the French revolutionary calendar.) Or no name at all, just squiggles on the book.

Good point. I'll talk to him about just changing the name and reposting them. He was crazy upset earlier but hopefully he's okay to talk now.

Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that

Probably shouldn't have told you to make a comic about something he didn't want in a comic, but he is schizophrenic so what can you do.

A grimdark webcomic about a post-apocalyptic community of cartoonish anthropomorphs shouldn't work, but it does.

i really liked the first Endtown arc, which had sort of a weird 70s Wizards kind of thing going on, but after that ended there doesn't seem to be a point or a plot anymore except misery

It is true that Endtown is a very bleak story. Even with its shades of cartooniness, the story is one of tragedy. However, what captivates me about Endtown is its innocence and humanity. Despite all of the darkness, there are optimistic and inspiring undertones to Endtown's narrative that make it irresistible to me.

True. He was all cool with it until about three days after they were finished and uploaded. I just now got is OK to change the book title and such.

Anyway, here are the updated versions:

Nothing horrible, merely stupid attention seeking on twitter that caused other webcomics folk to call him an idiot.

Edit: At least his idiocy lead to Will Eisner trending on Twitter, which I guess is kind of neat.

You know if he actually ever read any of Eisner's work he might be able to make comics worth a drat.

Looking back on it, I'm genuinely really proud of that panel as a composition. I don't really play around with layouts like that as much as I probably should.

Talk of past pages reminds me to ask, Morbi, would there be any chance of you adding a button to the site to show the title text? (eg like badnix has)

I enjoy your comments, but on chrome mobile title text/mouseover text (normally visible by long press) is superceded by hyperlinks, so old pages just show the url for the next page instead of the comment.

...in comparison to Jack Kirby! Which he didn't mention in any fashion before, during, or after his original tweet.

So you see, setting up Will Eisner as the mediocre Jewish artist while Kirby is the good Jewish artist suddenly clears up every problem with this tweet. It was all a silly misunderstanding

Honestly the mediocrity or lackthereof of Will Eisner is unimportant. Diaz is the last person in the universe who is qualified to call out anyone for coasting ad infinitum on mediocrity is the real point :v:
