Payndz posted:I wonder if it's disheartening to be someone like Jeff Keane or Adam Hargreaves (son of Roger Hargreaves, creator of the Mr Men in the UK), suppressing your own personal artistic style and creative urges in order to churn out an exact copy of your late father's work. Or do they see it as both an honour and a nice living to continue their dad's creation? I've wondered that about children of famous musicians, too. Dweezil Zappa playing his dad's solos 5-7 nights a week for the rest of his life because it's easy and it sells. I think I could absolutely continue dad's work in the same style to provide the kind of life for my kids as my dad provided for me. I imagine a lot depends on the kind of relationship you had with your father, too. A lot easier to take it on and carry the torch if you liked the man himself. That said, Brian Herbert apparently had a very difficult relationship with his dad, but that didn't stop him from writing (or "writing") 10k more pages of Dune. It wouldn't surprise me if those dudes also had absolutely insane anonymous deviant art profiles or side gigs doing furry art on commission just for something else to do.

I mean, if I could spend an hour a day reusing family clip art and spend the rest of my time woodcarving or whatever else I actually want to do, that would loving rule.

He's content on continuing his father's comic, and expressed zero interest in branching out into something else.

Kazinsal posted:I recently read through all of Scary Go Round (slowly, because the only way to do so online now is to use the wayback machine, which is slow as balls) and ended up going through this Bad Machinery case on GoComics because it's one of my favourites. It's such a wonderful story and I hope there's some new Bobbinsverse readers in this year's thread who get to read it along for the first time with us Allison's Gumroad store has pdf versions of the Scary Go Round collections (which don't have any of the guest strips, but do have some development notes and other extras). They're pretty cheap totaling 19.50 GBP if you don't mind throwing some money Allison's way. He also has his New Bobbins collections for sale as well, along with some one-shot comics he did over the years. The only problem I have with Gumroad is that it seems to force you to by one item at a time as there doesn't seem to be any shopping cart option.

I know this Funky arc is all a dream sequence, but it's so tone deaf to be basically making jokes about how the cancer that this comic has spent decades trying to wring every last drop of melodrama out of could have been prevented

But, despite presenting himself as a superhero comics superfan, TomBat would never do a major timeline reset because he can't bring himself to alter the one thing that has given his life meaning.

Lisa is alive, and a best-selling author from a book about her late husband, Les, who was killed by Bull, his longtime secret lover suffering from CTE, in a murder-suicide incident.

If he came back and Lisa was alive, it would undo the movie about her death and the Oscar it got Les Moore for “Best Actress” (this fuckin’ guy…) so there’s approximately zero % chance of that happening.

Then he just has to go back in time again and point a leafblower full of asbestos at Lisa. Problem solved.
