Following up on the rumble in the jungle that was the...debate? by Ethan Van Sciver and Taylor; our own @Mister Dongs wrote up a a brilliantly concise summary of this meeting of titans.

Frog performed a live reading, expressing his sadness that Mr. Dongs may not in fact be laughing black man. He and the panel greatly enjoys the excellent write up that I'd cite to if the site wasn't still fucked up.


Having checked the numbers Taylor presented, even assuming JJM is accurate, the picture is not as rosy. Outside of Venom 35( which was renumbered as Venom 200 and the series was ended at that issue) The only comic to sell over 100,000 units that wasn't a number one or limited series was Batman at just 130,000. Then there are the trades.

Number one is an omnibus of Knights of the Old Republic, a Dark Horse series from 2006, two is Robert Kirkman, three is Stan Lee/Jack Kirby FF from the 60s, four is a tv tie in collection of Kirkman's Invincible from Kirkman's run back in 2003, five is the coffee table Waid book put out a couple of years ago, Six Loki is a television tie-in collecting issues from JMS' Thor run in 2007, Seven is Manga, Eight is a TV continuation, Nine is a throw back mini by PAD and Greg Land set in Amazing Spidey continuity of the 80s?, and Ten is a collection of Conan material from decades ago.

So the only sector of the Mainstream with real growth is trades. The top ten trades are reprints of material from more than ten years ago, with only one Kirkman book and Waid's History of MU coffee table book breaking into the top ten along with a PAD book set in the fucking 80s! This is not indicative of good health when people overwhelmingly prefer foreign comics and comics from decades ago.

For those of you looking for something fun, JLongBone, a Fandom Menace orbitor has just dropped her fourth installment of her live read of Gotham High.


Smug Pug, who I believe is on the Vikki and Dean side of the War of the Tards dropped a video announcing his new channel and upcoming show.

 
It's a book for kids about space cats. It's realistically drawn and a well written adventure story by a skilled creator with two decades experience at DC Comics.

As such, on it's merits, it's the best book CG has put out so far. Now that backers have received their copies, it should be sold at Wal Mart alongside DOG MAN and other kids comics.


"If you don't like Tim Lim's work, you must not like tits and ass. Trump supporters like Tim Lim's work."

OK bro. 👍
Perhaps I can throw a little clarification here based on observations from working in special education.

The Anime/Trump connection is LITERAL Autism. Autists like Anime and they like Trump because they both normalize and provide 'positive' role-models of spergs doing and saying speg-shit, and, due to some highly-improbable main-character BS, actually winning.
 
Tonight's POZ Show was great. Not every segment was CG related, but a lot of it was KF related.


For those that don't want to watch the whole thing, but are in this thread and only care about this thread, I'll try to keep this confined to just the CG stuff.

1. Did you know @TESTEFY-HD and Well Read User were in Thelma and Louise?



2. A clip is played of @TESTEFY-HD losing his shit over an earlier parody clip of Smug Pug shooting him with shotgun. Videos are now violence. To make amends for this horrific aggression, a video is instead played of Testefy having a shotgun rammed up his anus by Smug Pug. Everybody laughs.



NOTE: The site is currently under DDoS attack, so it might be better to try downloading the clips if you experience buffering.

No isolated video clips of these next two yet, but here's some timestamps.

3. Some sped in a mask named Mad Max calls @FROG alt-right and friends with Vox Day. 41:36
4. Mundane Matt claims @FROG is afraid of him. Specifically, the claim is that EVS doesn't want MM making a video about him. How? Why? What? We may never know, but Matt should probably lay off the glue. He stopped being a relevant news source years ago. 51:20

Special thanks to Smug Pug for providing me with the parody clip material in isolation, as well as hosting a very entertaining show.

No-one in the universe is scared of Matt or has ever been.

Maybe that 15 yr old girl he put a knife to the throat of.

Thoroughly enjoyed this show. Really fun stuff.

Who are these people and why should we care? Looks like they've got 100 subs and 2 videos. My personal youtube channel has more activity than that and I haven't touched it in ten years.

EDIT: Let me make it clear that I'm not criticizing you for posting them here so much as I'm mocking the gall of every random nobody in the CG-sphere who thinks they need their own show. I’ll happily admit, the lore has grown too deep for me. I miss the days when you could catch up on the majority of CG happenings by following the main participants, but even they’ve resorted to streaming anything remotely interesting on obscure alt channels. I simply have no interest in combing through six hours of masks and profile pictures and terrible mic quality to find out what fuckboi420 and throatthot69 think about comicsgate. But I have to, because in all likelihood Frog will spend the following week obsessing over whatever they said about him, so that will become the primary narrative of the next six streams. It’s exhausting. I’m thankful for the farms and people who do writups. I can’t imagine how much time they’ve saved me.

@FROG Lim's latest is poised to pass Godlike in the next hour or so - better shill fast - maybe wear two wigs?
Ethan was the gist of your argument that Lim's book is "gay" because it didn't have enough muscle dudes and turtle's knockoffs on the cover?

The Kamen America team is doing conventions, has a web-store, partnered fulfillment and is delivering around 3x per year now - that is a pace that actually sustains interest in the ongoing stories.

Not even close, it's only got 109,909 bucks. :lit:

What are they lacing in your drugs man?

Manning also appears.

While I'm glad that the Dicki and Vean side of the War of the Tards has branched out from CG, I have to wonder if it will backfire. CG is relatively subdued compared to some of the lolcows the Farms deals with.
 
At 12:30 PM Eastern Time - Kamen America eclipsed CG's Godlike for number of backers.
Realistically that happened sometime this weekend - what Indiegogo calls backers is simply transactions.

Don't fret @FROG - CG has a steady of roster of cognitively impaired masochists with a high tolerance for abuse.
You remain the King of turd mountain.

Edwin looks like this then wonders why people say he's on drugs.

Good for Tim. And good for Jon Malin. Oh no, Malin only has $209,759 and 2,183 customers, what ever will he do now???

Get off the meth, dude. It's not a competition. Tim's doing good and Jon is doing good. Why do you care?
 
Is it wrong to say I find her quite fuckable?

That you'd even contemplate this is distrubing.

As much as I dig Tim Lim and Mark Pellegrini and their IP's, get back to us when they surpass the number of backers and total raised. Right now, using two campaigns he has zero control over, simply makes you look desperate to take shots at @FROG. Even worse, you are embroiling Lim and Pellegrini, who make a concerted effort to stay out of CG drama, smack dab in the middle of CG drama.

It's pathetic, Edwin.
 
People say, "Why do you like Vikki? She hates you!"

Because she's fair. I've never seen her intentionally be unfair.

Just running some analytics here and was wondering what @DouglasErnst thinks about this interesting statistic I found. If anything, this chart only belies Liam's genius, as the overhead for delivering of his digital comics on medibang dot com is effectively zero. By my projections, Liam Gray is poised to pass by Tim Lim for the 109th consecutive time over. I of course am just a humble observer, but could this be accounted by the lack of a Kamen America Studio on Tim Lim's part? I think so.

Better go write an article for the Washington Post fast, Douglas Ernst. Try to shore up those Kamen America viewer backer numbers somehow.
Oh what's that? You left that to go work on Soulfinder full time? Too bad, so sad... you mad?
