Apparently Ethan's wife is getting a MRI done. I think him going after nerdortic's wife wasn't a good idea.
@FROG Now, I could be a real dickhead and say something like, Yeah Gary may be married to a pig, but his pig produced competent normal children while you and your wives churned out a dough head (@Edgeymcedgename I'm taking this) and a fag hiding as a 'real car man'. His pig is also competent in his business and helps him set up actual fan meetups and travel, probably business too. I could say that she's not riddled with genetic defects that cause her to get an MRI at her age. So I am not going to say that stuff.

I'm gonna wish her a million successful MRIs and checkups. I hope she feels better man, and it's a shame she won't be able to see ReignBGT come out.
 
In probably a few more months, the image generating AI will be able to consistently render characters doing different things.
you can already do this by training a Lora of your character with as few as 20-40 pictures. hell, I've made models with a single picture cropped 20 different ways and gotten really good results.

With all due respect and pity to the ailing wife I predict his ebay feedback rating will soon plummet. She was in charge of that and did a decent job. If you have a sick desire to own Cyberfag product now the most reliable source is the secondary market.

So there it is. It's just a matter of being patient with the output to produce exactly what you want.

BTW, Disney is hiring "prompt engineers" for JedAI. (Get it? Get it?)

Your job is to type Star Wars bullshit into Midjourney until horrific DEI friendly results are produced.
Then you show your boss all the Space Black People you made, and collect $200,000.00
 
In real life, I know so many people that openly hate on AI... quietly use it themselves in their work.

The way AI speeds up workflow by taking over time-consuming, menial, and even tedious tasks is too good to pass up.

And somewhere, on someone's couch, Richard 'C me lose all but 1000 paypigs' Meyer is clapping and toasting a glass of wine to a prosperous new Star Wars era!
 
Zack schizo posting to Chuck Dixon

I don't know what either of these franchises beyond a vague idea, but do either of them have anything to do with comics? What is Dixon supposed to do with this pitch if he's not given anything else to go off of? More importantly, why would anyone who likes comics be interested in this?

As an aside, the only familiarity I have with Happy Days was that one South Park episode where Kyle wrote down all the lyrics to the Happy Days theme song after getting high.

"Happy Days" meets "Cape Feare" once again, Zack showing he has his finger on the pulse of that elusive 'Happy Days' 'Comicbook' cross-demographic.

I expect to see it blow out Horseman

I take it this is going to be a Happy Days parody? Or is Zack planning on more piracy?

Solid plan for him to take out a sizable loan so he can rip off something so timely and relevant.

What's next? A dark and gritty reboot of Hogan's Heroes or Gomer Pyle?

I guess the comic book equivalent to Happy Days is Betty and Veronica. Happy Days is so old that Boomers watched it as kids growing up. The idea is bad for this particular demographic for these reasons.
 
I've ever really understood the fixation on pre-70's America after the year 2000.
I was remarking the other day, "Why the fuck is Batman doing ANYTHING in the 1930's? Who the HELL has any connection to the 1930's anymore? Fedorabros?"

The fixation on "the glory days" of people who are long dead boggles my mind.

Why bother with a "Happy Days" story at all? Why not take the concept of a greaser, slap him on a space motorcycle, and show him cruising the cosmos picking up hot alien babes and punching Disney villains in the kidneys.

"I wanna tell the eleventy-billionth story about an asshole on a motorcycle that has trouble with authority."

Stephen King (as much as I loathe the guy) was told by one of this teachers/professors: "Write what you know."

So Zack's stories should revolve around a twice divorced asshole that chugs Sunny-D all day while complaining about people more successful than him.

Happy Days was a '50s nostalgia TV show created in the '70s for Baby Boomers after the success of George Lucas' American Graffiti. It didn't actually run in the '50s.

If any normal person wrote this, I would think it was good-natured, self-deprecating humor. But since this is Zack, he really believes people should read this and think that Chuck is an idiot for not recognizing Zack's utter genius.

I can't wait to hear all of the other home run pitches Chuck has quietly had to pretend he didn't hear.

That's simple, distinct aesthetic style and an entirely different culture to today. 21th century America is culturally stagnant to 2009 despite advances to technology. So writing period stories does a ton for world-building.

Zack is 100% lying about being "TERRIFIED" of fucking fonzie when he was a kid and I'm pretty sure every possible joke about Fonzie has been made like 1000 times, these are not new observations, and if I'm not mistaken they're done skits with the original cast that have already pointed this stuff out/made jokes about it.

All Zack's bad and unoriginal ideas are all very reminiscent of annoying lol so random rawr XD type humor from the early 2000s, the fact that it's combined with an obsession with pop culture from his childhood just makes it extra lame and cringe he should go back to watching Sex and the City.

MovieBob does this too, his is "Care Bears meet Paradise Lost." It's retarded. Zack is retarded, but then we knew that. Fonzie started out a bit thuggish but he did a heel face turn when his popularity demanded it. Being terrified of him as a child makes me think Zack was quite a weak child, but then I preferred Hammer movies to Happy Days as a kid.

Zack makes fun of this kind of humor when Gale Simone does it, but we now know that this is because of envy and no real problem with Gale Simone's writing.
I was TERRIFIED of Fonzie as a kid. You have this dude who is CLEARLY in his thirties who hangs out with high school kids. He's always threatening to beat up the guys (who are clearly scared of him) and he keeps dragging the girls into the bathroom to "make out". Add in some low-grade psychic abilities that allowed him to operate a jukebox through tactile telekinesis and we've got a Stephen King villain on our hands.
1. No, you weren't.
2. The "high school students" were in their 20s, Zack, welcome to American television in the 70s.
3. "low-grade psychic abilities?" This is stupid.
4. "Stephen King villain." Yes, one of the weird quirks of Stephen King was a tendency to have greaser villains in his stories. While it is still very kitschy when King does it, you are planning to do something that has already done except worse.

Chuck Dixon rejected your story idea because you are mentally retarded, Zack. Normal people, when they hear retarded ideas from people, tend to reject them.

Now, on to AI art. You can make a comic with any kind of art, but if the art isn't good you not only have to sell it on the writing you have more of a struggle because the art won't really pop. Zack's AI art is going to look like everyone else's AI art. You, Zack, will not be able to give a distinctive style to your AI art and you won't be able to sell the comics with your bad writing. Well, I guess that's what the business line of credit is for, eh Zack?

Reading Zack pitches gives me the same type of cringe as watching clips of Patrick Tomlinson's stand-up "comedy".

Ninja’d, but yeah, this is a Gail pitch.

Zack, you and Gail could be very happy together. She’s too old to knock up, and you can watch all the SATC you want together while making short bus comic pitches. Think it over.
