I like seeing people like Juju and Vito and Riley whine about Twitter because a) it's proof that it's one of the only things that gives their lives any meaning because it gives them attention and b) they're too afraid to support alternatives like Fediverse, because they know on Fediverse they would get viciously torn apart, which is exactly what happened to Dax when he made his sperg.city instance.
probably just the opposite of what everyone else on his twitter feed was saying because that is how he forms his opinions
It is for 22 page pamphlets, not for 96 page 'graphic novels' like Isom. The jewelry company is owned by his wife, who does jewelry out of the home.
This in addition to other stereotypical California takes on stream
Yeah but at least those were for things the target audience were also likely to have an interest in, and they often did the ads in a comic art style like the example you gave. This is just dead-ass a magazine ad in the middle of a comic, it's extremely distracting and out of place; at least stick it on the inside of the back cover where it's out of the way.
That almost makes it a bit wholesome, but still a shitty thing to do in your crowdfunded book that's already met its costs.
I don't know what he's said in recent years - apparently he went after black rifle coffee for trying to denounce Rittenhouse and he does seem like the kind of person to praise Rittenhouse during the trial to grift off the success that someone like Rekieta had during that time - but in the immediately aftermath of the shooting he said it was le bad and that "bro why would you risk your life and freedom for people attacking businesses bro." Interestingly, the shooting happened the exact same time Cuties got announced, so he was actively going out and saying it's wrong for Rittenhouse to shoot pedophiles in self-defense and also defending Cuties as being a worthy piece of art. That, combined with the final call in with Josh where he tried to argue that lolicon isn't pedophilia and pedophiles are victims and also the Ralph sex tape coming out and him immediately running to his defense, is why August 2020 is his absolute peak. He has never reached that level and he probably did more damage to his userbase in one month than he's ever done since.
I was always partial to the Hostess Fruit Pies
Yeah I want to be more annoyed by it, but if you're gonna pull shit like that, hustling for your wife is a pretty solid reason
Well, it's still lame, but at least it's an explanation other than he just felt like selling ads in a book people already paid for.
Reading is too hard for Juju's coombrain attention span of 25 seconds.
I remember ads in the middle of comics in the late nineties, early aughts. The ads definitely weren't geared towards a grown ass man getting his honey something to recompense being a faggot that still reads comic books.
You made me nostalgic for Seanbaby's old reviews of Hostess Fruit Pie ads. From the looks of things, Sean's doing pretty well with his own Patreon, and last I heard he had a wife and kid. Chalk that up as another Old Internet e-celeb who didn't waste their entire life like Dick.
I've people told people did complain, but I don't remember it. From what I can remember Juju saying,
There have always been ads in comic books. I've got an old Amazing Spider-Man from the 60s lying around somewhere that has ads in it. The specific ad in Isom is really strange though, can't imagine anyone who would actually buy the book giving a fuck about what they're selling. But the advertiser paid July so I don't think he minds.
Good on him. He's given me some chuckles throughout the years, so it's nice to see that he's doing well outside of that.
Single issues will always have ads, but I haven't seen them in collected editions and omnibuses.
That's a challenge for Juju.
If I remember correctly (I think you'd have to scroll through Elissa Clips' to find it), but Eric got pissed at Dick initially because he was shitting on the comic and saying it sucked without even reading it - presumably to stick up for Vito and his comic book - so he was basically forced to read it to find things to properly criticise it for, which is probably why he grasps for straws by complaining about shit like a table being a reused asset or whatever because he needs some legitimate reason to hate it other than just hating it to stick up for his butt buddy online. That and he's probably super fucking spiteful and vindictive towards someone who publicly called his bluff by correctly deducing he hadn't read the comic he loved to criticise so much.
