Cyberfrog will be in the public domain before EVS ever publishes it.

When was the first kickstarter for cyberfrog? I'm trying to figure out how many pages Kirby would have completed in the time it's taken EVS to not draw his single, 44 page comic. It's gotta be a couple hundred right? During the early years Marvel published 8 books a month and I think at least half of them were drawn by Kirby.

Part of that was Kirby getting paid by the page, and he had a family to feed. EVS gets all the cash upfront and can be a lazy bastard. Although one wonders if he's actually trying to put this cash influx to good use and pay down some of his money problems ha ha no he's buying action figures by the case and bragging about five-pound lobster dinners.

You know, if someone can track down a single unpublished Kirby page it would make Jack more productive that Ethan.

This is a lie on the level of a child with chocolate on their face telling you that they didn’t eat all the cookies. Btw as a bonus https://twitter.com/d_yeisley/status/1110395687278202880 He also makes 3D models of women with big boobs.

Actually, "Where would Hergé stand on ComicsGate?" is an interesting discussion on its own. I suspect the answer would be, at best, "It's complicated."

In other news Renfamous being on an indie comics anthology is giving CG apoplexy. It's especially funny coming from the chuds who, themselves, are trying to use CG to do their first ever comic.

Looking at the art, I feel like this dude's got to be some 20-something smacked rear end who got pulled into a bad scene. Even without the defense of EVS over Kirby, he just doesn't seem to know anything. I am endlessly grateful that I got out of my 20s before current social media really existed.

Like, the Blue Lotus is racist as hell against the Japanese, but for something written in 1935 by some who'd never been to Asia it's a pretty well done and balanced in its depiction of China and the Chinese.

What is it with weirdos on the internet who marginalise other people's art turning out to be primary school-level artists themselves?

Surely they don't think Cyberfrog is being produced quickly? Also I'm not sure where the gently caress you get off insulting Kirby and I'm not even a capes person.

Well the guy is doubling down that Kirby isn't that great an artist and also that Kirby would have hated "the femanazi communists" that his characters have become. Truly this is a Kirby scholar.

That's uh probably why the book is racist against the Japanese too. And let's be honest if anybody could ever claim to have a legit reason to be racist against the Japanese it's probably any Chinese person who lived through WW2.

Japan occupied Manchuria in 1931 so depending on your charting that could honestly be a start date for the Second World War as far as China is concerned.

The Japanese wars continued throughout the period and I’ve seen a number of sources starting WW2 with Japanese actions in Manchuria. Unless you want to be completely Eurocentric it’s a valid point.

WWI started like it was a race. Everyone got up and ran at full speed when the starter pistol went off. WWII was more incremental. If you were Chinese or Japanese, the war you know as WWII started in 1931.
