Man, I remember hanging out in the Bob and George forums back in the day, making stupid fancomics of my own. I stuck a Rush head on a Protoman body and colored it green and grey. My First OC.

Here I am once again with my reminder that a healthy industry means that people you find distinctly mediocre need to be able to make a lot of money. Also, here is John Allison's Scary Go Round newsletter saying something sensible. quote:I awoke this morning to the news that I had not been included on a list of the "most influential webcomics ever". Someone was annoyed about it, and had decided to complain that another cartoonist was on the list, and I was not. They made sure I knew this, thereby alerting me to my original omission, which I would never have found out about otherwise. Let me be clear on this: I was neither angry about a reader's misdirected passion nor my omission from an arbitrary round-up.

Rotten Red Rod posted:PA's side stuff like PAX is all infinitely better than the comic itself. For instance, Strip Search was a legitimately great show that introduced me to Erika Moen and Abby Howard. They really should concentrate on stuff like that (although I know that's all their business partners and not them). It gave birth to Camp Weedonwantcha so they're still alright.

Nobody said they wanted him to die penniless and in obscurity, and frankly I think it's exhausting that "you resent his success" has to be re-litigated every time DC comes up. Tying this back in to the earlier Pictures for Sad Children discussion, people should be able to make a living while producing art and the amount of energy, life, and personal information artists have to share to justify why people should give them money is grossly unfair. Still, it's particularly galling to have to do this over Diaz when he's the prototypical guy who succeeded through woke posturing while leaving his own biases and privilege unexamined and unaddressed.

Not terrible, but I just could never get invested in it like I have with other comics. Elephant Parade posted:Megatokyo is insanely bad. As a thirteen-year-old, I got the first three volumes for Christmas. Volume One was hilarious, Volume Two was mediocre, and Volume Three... existed? I went through the whole online archive out of sheer inertia and it only got worse and worse. I can't imagine trying to read it now. Pretty hilarious how Megatokyo was so bad that the one "good" part people STILL point to was the guy that thought L33TSP34K jokes were the height of comedy. Although to be fair, the alternative was lovely self-insert shoujo comics, so... Yeah. Haha the title bar of the page STILL says "relax, we understand j00". What a loving time capsule.

josh was also pretending to be a woman naked jackie and making another webcomic, the subject being "how do i make people pay attention to me again" as some sort of attempt at meta commentary on the comics community being too crowded. he set up a twitter account for "jackie" and everything, retweeting her new comics to his account until people found out it was him and he posted that it was all a "persona" he was doing. lol

I feel like its weird that i know,any of this because this feels like very personal life stuff, but i do not know josh lesnick. But i can discuss it. Here, with more strangers. Is that healthy? Did it feed into his problem? I feel weird that i was rhe one who brought him up! But since i did i thought i might as well extend broad, cartoonish empathy to what seems like a publicly sad man, at xmas time. As for what happened to my brain, i guess im just a crazy and nutty guy!!

Also like really and I mean this sincerely, picking on internet webcomic people is frequently picking on the saddest most pathetic members of society. I have nothing to gain from the further belittlement of josh lesnick, formerly internet famous masturbator. It's silly! Who needs that? e: hell I retract calling them pathetic!

All I'm saying is that .. a particular variety of contrarinism is implied by bringing that guy up in the first place (in a post I still barely understand) and then being sad that people jump to mocking him, and it's the same variety of contrarinism I'd recognize from that zine argument. And that moment of connecting those dots was satisfying enough to comment on. Sorry, this is a dumb direction for this comic to go. Let's change the topic. Here's a comic that I really wonder if other goons have opinions on: Sam and Fuzzy.
