It seems Morbi's found a good pace with having the non-combat updates be mostly text, and combat scenes be full comic. That, or they just found their passion for the project again.

i think they stated in this very thread previously that it'll be text updates going forward except for fight scenes like this one?

Also from earlier this week I completely overlooked the fact that Georgia's surname is Cheeseman.

And Zebus' mum is pretty great, too.

Also I guess it's no surprise Georgia gives so little fucks, with a last name like Cheeseman. Also, Allison confirmed that the dog was in fact alive, just very patient.

Yeah, John K. being a creep has been an open secret for years, unfortunately.

Although reading that, HOLY poo poo. Much, much worse than I thought.

That article struck me as more damning of everybody who was around it and said nothing for all those years, given that John K has a reputation even among casual animation fans as "Oh yeah, that guy's a total creep." Every revelation in that Buzzfeed piece was simultaneously shocking in its content and the least surprising thing imaginable, given his reputation and general vibe. (I recall reading something about his "mentorship" of young women in the field well over a decade ago that soured me on him forever, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was.)

Dude must be amazingly charismatic in person, though, to inspire that kind of loyalty. To convince people who are working on The Ripping Friends to think "This is groundbreaking, important stuff; stuff that's going to make my career! I should probably just keep my mouth shut about him showing me those photos of unconscious teen girls and/or his genitals."

From what I gather, Spumco really was more of a cult than a studio. The way his loyalists stand up to him, no matter what, is astounding.

Do not attribute to charisma what can be much much more easily attributed to simple unwillingness to rock the boat. :smith:

I thought it was more like John K managed to convince a bunch of old Hanna Barbara cartoonists to leave their jobs, which I hear were pretty terrible pay wise, and start a new company with him. Except that when they did, John K basically hosed them over just as hard as HB did (If not moreso) on top of being a terror to work with, and since they burned their bridges with HB they were pretty much stuck in their shittier new normal.

Not that it excuses staying quiet on this. I need to set aside some time to read the article but its hard just getting through the first paragraph.

One of the greater ironies is that Spumco was the first to hire Chris Savino, who himself got fired by Nickelodeon for sexual harassment back in October.

I can't speak about the money issues, but another thing to keep in mind is that most cartoons made in the 1980s...sucked. And the people working on them knew that. Many were desperate to work in something that they can be proud of, and when John K. provided opportunity for them to work on something that isn't whatever garbage Filmation or DiC or Hanna-Barbera was making GBS threads out, they went to him in droves.

Many managed to move on to better things afterwards (like Bruce Timm), while others...didn't.

Do you like jokes? I gots jokes.

Come check out my dumb comics and tell me it is good. or dumb. or keep your big mouth shut.




Since it's all gag-a-day with no ongoing story, I wanted to wait until there was a decent amount of archive to visit before I shared it here. And right now I'm living in the future with new comics set to auto-post through the end of April. So if I die tomorrow, you all can still have some chuckles and poo poo. At least for a month.

There's a bare-bones RSS (based on the advice from this thread). It needs some visual cleanup (for RSS aggregators that show images), but it works well enough for now.

This is the third time starting a Book 3. He wiped the pages from the first attempt when he started the second, and did the same here.

Is it legal to Kickstart that? Seems really wacky. I guess Kickstarter isn't technically paying to pre-order a book, but it seems like a big leap from drawing a webcomic with licensed characters and soliciting donations to actually crowdfunding the publication of books starring licensed properties you don't own.

Sometimes I look again at Dangerously Chloe to see if it's still a thing that exists, and every time I do it's become even more insane somehow. And somehow this is all a spinoff from their school about high-school vampires, which, I am pretty sure, wasn't supposed to be semi-pornography when they started doing it.

I feel like there should be laws against this somehow.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Looking up "elver", it seems to be that "dwalling elver" translates to "sleeping eel" or something similar.
