Jim Groat - RIghtwing Gunnie and ManChild

[Chipmunk With A Banana]

When posting the thread about a furry getting busted, I was reminded about the antics of one of furry fandom's most notorious LOLcows named Jim Groat. A "man" who seems to be trapped in the early 90's and makes his "living" making up bullshit stories about Liberals conspiring against him and the predictable disaster story he concocts in order to mooch for donations.

Once upon a time, JIMMAY! was an up-n-coming indie comics artist in the early 80's who used to hang out with now legendery artists such as Stan "Usagi Yojimbo" Sakai & Peter "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" Laird.

And as his former artist friends began to climb up the Ladder of Life, JIMMAY! seemed to have stopped at the third rung and stayed there forever, both in mind as well in maturity as The Eternal Teenager.

Behold Jim Groat, thirty years later. Obviously, Stan & Kevin are nowhere near him:

(DAYM, PASSAGE OF TIME! YOU SCARY!)

To describe Jim Groat can best be done as calling him an onion of WTF. The cluelessness/immaturity of CWC, with the morality of Nick, and the obnoxious extroversion of Jace. I'll let these links of good reading enlighten you.

His usual M.O. is to go to one furry con after another, trying to sell the same old unsellable crap comics he published back when Ronald Reagan was still President. At every con, he would make up some bullshit tale about his house was ruined from a tornado or his truck was broken into, followed by his passing the hat to mooch donations from gullible furries. Recently his wife of 20 years finally got sick & tired of working two jobs while this freeloader went to conventions and filed divorce papers on him.

As soon as he got served papers, he's been running around the country leaving pieces of his expensive vintage gun collection with friends in order to hide them from the divorce court. One such place he left a good number of firearms at was with a friend in Tucson named Ted Sheppard.

BAD IDEA!

Shortly after, Ted's apartment got raided as part of an investigation into child porn. When the cache of firearms were discovered, in came the ATF to collect & haul them all away. Now Obama has Jim's machine guns. HO HO HO!

If you dare to wade into the cesspool that is Furaffinity.com, you'll find JIMMAY!'s account there (http://www.furaffinity.net/user/rabbi-tom), where he frequently attempts to fool the gullible with sad tales about how he's a poor oppressed white man in the liberal bastion of Wisconsin, being downtrodden by his boss at one menial delivery job after another (Jim gets fired from entry level jobs very frequently) and by black welfare/Section 8 hags who won't even tip him because he's white.

His Youtube, he does not have a Twitter or Facebook account.

Got curious looking him up, and according to Wikifur, he even has kids of his own, and apparently got a brief spot on his local news for taking his son to scour for shit to sell on eBay. (Already old, but archived) According to Wikifur, he also got married at a furcon.

The site for his comic is down, but Wikifur at least has an article about it. According to his LJ, his comic was blocked in Qatar. (Archive) It was a result of the entire hosting site being blocked, but of course he thinks his comic alone got blocked. Also I like how as an artist, he chose to have his LJ avatar be a Gaia Online avatar. (Also, I know it was 2007-2009, but what the fuck is a grown man doing on Livejournal?)

Thanks for the link Valiant. It helps me showcase some more examples of the ManChild in action.

Factoid: Jim Groat likes to be an EdgeLord by attacking popular kiddie things. In the 80's he was known for hating the Smurfs, then in the 90's for hating Barney. When the Tickle Me Elmos came along, you know JIMMAY! just had to show how cool & edgy he was about that as well.

And for a really big LULZapalooza, here's a nonfictional tale and accurate depiction in comic form of Jim's trip to a comic convention in France, circa early 90's:

Welp, that was easier than I expected.

Oh wow, good ol' Rabbi Tom. You can actually talk to this Lolcow "in the flesh", as it were.

If you understand MUCKS, he pretty much lives on FurryMUCK 24/7, as any good furry does.

I think we'd all rather go to the Sixth Circle of Hell than to some furry shit.

It's really funny when these animal fuckers have a superiority complex.

if he had a goat fursona that'd actually be slightly fun.

i bet he doesn't.

 

[chimpburgers]

There's this sort of odd quality about this particular lolcow, especially with the detail about him hanging out with the TMNT guys but being extremely sleazy with what he does now.

This Rabbi Tom clown also has a DA page.

The first thing I see on his dA is his reaction to the Charlie Hebdo attacks: drawing an ISIS Rat fursona.



You can buy the file for 100 dA points.


EDIT:

Also in his gallery, a pony fanart that he was particularly enthusiastic about drawing, a photo of him at a protest, a rant on PETA, a modded Hitler teletubby toy, a pinch of strong female characters, pictures of his guns, a bunch of comics and tributes to dead celebrities (like almost every page has a poorly drawn dead person on it), and plenty of furry porn.

Among the porn in his gallery is a photo of his dog lying down, labelled "Dog Porn", available for order as a print.

Here's some of his dA comics:

And a piece where he tries to distance himself from the "fandumb" of the furry fandom:

And apparently actual MLP characters were in his comic.

Yes he does. Or, at least he did back in the early 90's. I think he later changed himself into a horse because of his Quickdraw McGraw/El Kabong fetish.

Well.

This guy seems like a piece of work. Goddamn.

Could someone explain how right-wing furries work? You'd think you'd have to be...ahem, a little liberal to shack up with those types.

Or does the desire for human contact transcend political boundaries?

There are even Nazifurs.
