I know, it took all of my willpower not to post about it until the moment it ended. I was typing the post when the seller relisted it and almost hesitated. It isn't mis-listed either, there's no way to miss it by searching any relevant Frog keyword.
I take no pleasure in this as I'm currently holding a few of both headsketches myself for speculation purposes.
People were throwing around $1000+ resale numbers for the $200 Honeycomb box packages the night those sold out in a frenzy (last week?). The first person to receive one might get a bit more than $200 but A LOT of people bought multiples hoping to flip. There are 2500 of those things.
Its apart of a bigger collapse. Allot of artists who are frankly lazy have made a career over selling original artwork at insane prices. Those days may be ending and that's bad news for some people who that's more or less their career in comics.
Did anyone finish the cabal stream? I'm not going back.
Great CG kill stream that's unbearable for the first hour or so. Oz. Stop playing gotcha with non cg people, it's not working.
The one with Nasser
www.youtube.com
-Nassar is being unreasonable in expectation of profit but he also has kindof grown up a little and realized there are no short cuts that will get him what he wants. Watching
@FROG talk to him it strikes me that he's taking a different tack, wanting this to go away.
-YF denies he ever bad mouthed our boi to Pete Gilmore. Frog confirms that Tug and YF are valuable to CG, which was what I've said, they are his foothold into the weeb crowd, horrifying as that is.
-Frog leaves, satisfied that he's made CG and himself by proxy look less predatory to a young, vulnerable man. Then Wormie comes in.
-Wormie points out, rightly that CG only buys books as symbols of loyalty, not as art or out of love of them. Direct hit.
-CG is
fucked as its primary defender fuckwit Reino going against Wormie and Nass. Wormie is crushing CG for good bit and Frog has to come back, with shit internet somehow in urban Jeresey?
-Wormie points out that Nass wants people to actually like his work and that Frog's message is that he can get access to the CG audience, but that audience has little if any interest in Nass work as art, instead being unappreciative of its merits viewing it as tribal sport.
-Frog scores a solid hit on Wormie. Wormie was fortunate enough that someone else gave him a shot and that's all Frog is doing is promoting others work. He asks will Wormie and he says no. Big points for Frog.
-Wormie tries to recover claiming he's made his own way, bullshit, and that he's just that good, somewhat true. He rightfully points out that Frog is giving kids the illusion of a shortcut.
-Frustratingly, Frog does not point out to Wormie the biggest argument in support of CG. The world that Frog and Wormie succeed in is very different from today. Wormie could succeed as a born again white republican in the 90s. Today those traditional paths are foreclosed. Frog doesn't really hit him successfully here well, he kindof points at DC and Marvel not being those places. But the crux is mentorship and opportunity for artistic people outside the mold. Wormie endorses a Randian path were struggle is how art talent evolves whereas Frog pushes for art needing the support of the unwashed masses who don't appreciate it in order for art talent to be able to develop.
to Doug pointing out that Frog is a "short cut" to fame.
ready when Cecil's book fails to deliver due to Cuck Prince Delay's fingers falling off from Diabetes.
