But more power to you because there are people (a surprising number if I'm honest) who do appreciate over detailed accounting breakdowns and boring video transcription services. Have at it. It provides a real service to those who care whether THE COLLOSSALS made 10 percent more than it was trending to make in it's 3rd month. I generally skim or skip that stuff personally.
It is not a matter of "taste" to point out that this a thread for discussing things going on within and around Comicsgate. Surprisingly (to some apparently) it seems readers don't go into the Comicsgate thread for a tedious argument about crypto concerning people not involved with Comicsgate or their activities that are not germane to the topic of the thread. It comes across as one of those MidnightGift vs Testiefy streams you mentioned, but somehow even less relevant and without the benefit of truncation. But on the bright side there already is a
Cryptocurrency Lolcows thread. Tellingly, the thread died due to a lack of sustained interest in discussing crypto, but I'm sure the addition of Doug and Smiller and their latest paypiggy milking scheme would be a welcome addition, as befits your personal interests. By all means have at it.
2021/10/04 - COMICARTISTPRO SECRETS - FIGHTING with SJWs!! CyberFrog Bloodhoney Box CLOSEOUT!
(Sketch superchat in the thumbnail: a warning of things to come)
Yesterday, only three days after hosting a closeout stream for Jon Malin's
Godlike campaign, Frog had a ten hour closeout telethon for both his
Cyberfrog: Bloodhoney Box and Aaron Lopresti's
Wraith of God crowdfunds. While mostly shilling as expected, there were a few developments of note that happened.
As mentioned by others, I was brought up for reminding Frog about his almost-collaboration with noted comics libtard Greg Rucka on
Amazon Attacks 12 years ago, which set off Well Read User on these fine farms for some reason.
Going after his co-hosts for being "anti-CG", going after this thread for being "pro-CG" and some sort of sellout Comicsgate marketing machine. Weird.
Nasser's upcoming
Creepsters toy was shown off by a Frog that seemed genuinely impressed by the production value on what was undoubtedly a shoestring budget.
In the face of declining sales for mainstream comics and no Substack deals coming their way, a new
new revolution in comics has been launched with the announcement of "
Artists Elite Comics". A murderer's row of veteran comic artists like Frog's mormon replacement on
Green Lantern and
Final Boss creator
Tyler Kirkham, 30 Days of Night and
Fell co-creator with Warren Ellis and thus co-cancelled
Ben Templesmith, as well as frequent CG overture recipient
Brett Booth, along with several others have rallied together under a crudely made logo, some public domain music accompanied by Sun Tzu quotes, and even a few fencesitter Perch Comics videos were retweeted by Templesmith for some edge. And so, these brave cartoon artists have declared themselves the heirs to the great Image Comics rebellion of 1992, the cause of the comic book artist proletariat. The vague foundations of an online store has been registered at
https://artistselitecomics.com/, and a couple thousand twitter subscribers have been bought for social media.
Jon Malin for one registered his thoughts by offering this replacement logo.
Yet this declaration did not sit well with the rest of Frog's panel. After all, wasn't Comicsgate supposed to be said Image Comics revolution reloaded? Where the comic artists that do the bulk of the actual work creating comics come together as a band of brothers and free themselves from under the thumb of the publishers, editors and writers? Observing Comicsgate has taught these professionals that they need to band together in an internet gang and start promoting themselves, but this all seems superfluous. If they wanted these goals, why did these eleven professional comic artists not just grab an oar and declare themselves Comicsgate? Why?
Why?
As mentioned before, this livestream shillathon was meant not just to sell Frog's campaign but a closeout for Aaron Lopresti's campaign as well. Sketch Therapy has learned somehow about Lopresti being a former regular of Mike's show and has naturally concluded the mild mannered Christian
Wraith of God creator to be a rico act smiller infiltrator. Aaron's equally folksy wife Shelley, presumably not knowing better, tried to talk Sketch down using reason and empathy. Sketch was shortly thereafter tempbannedt by jannies due to a flood of (now regrettably erased) profanity directed at Aaron's wife.
This setback in the face of traitor infiltration, far from deterring Sketch Therapy, merely motivated him to flood the stream with hundreds of dollars of superchats for the next several hours about how he will not be silenced. Voices of reason like Cecil urged for sanity by suggesting Sketch be brought on to explain his side of the argument. I myself may have suggested Sketch be given a wrench again so that the jannies couldn't time him out.
Tragically (for some), the
Bloodhoney Box/Wraith of God slowly but inexorably began to change course as the audience showed themselves to be vastly more interested in fighting over Sketch then listening to whatever Frog and the panel were talking about.
In short, we may never know why luminaries like Tyler Kirkham and Ben Templesmith elected to build some sort of makeshift raft out of floating furniture, driftwood and probably turds and shit bobbing around in the ocean rather than climb into the CG lifeboat.
