Zack used to have a thicker skin. He used to invite people to roast his stuff and that was how he befriended Nerkish.

Something has definitely snapped in him. What a strange hill to die on.

It is sad. He had some self awareness back then.

He didn't block me, yet.

True. AI is for inspiration or ideas. Not a final product. You did not make that. The program did.

And to answer the real question: It is probably a similar shade of green as her lips on the outside. On the inside it is probably a similar color as the inside of her mouth.

He seems at an odd age to develop a mental illness. The friends I had that went schizo did so in their early 20s. And he's too young for Alzheimer's.

What about substance abuse?

To be fair, it took 40 years for Chris Benoit to snap and do what he did. I guess we are just lucky Zach doesn't have contact with his ex's or his children.

LMAO Fuckin stop it Richard

my ribs can't take this kind of pressure
 
Wow that channel….

I’m legitimately embarrassed for his kids. Imagine your dad cowing out like this on YouTube? The only saving grace is, the internet doesn’t know who they are, and he’s losing relevance fast.

However, it would still sting a little if that was my dad, and I had to at least pretend to respect him.

I guess he had to do something with that channel, and he can't really talk about money anymore since he's been on a downward trajectory the last two years.

who was going to a couch surfing bum for financial advise in the first place? he was fucking delusional to make this channel to begin with. lol

Zack is basically just saying, "Stop complaining about woke." Lot's of stuff is still woke and things haven't gotten as much better as Zack asserts. I'm hoping we have reached a turning point but we certainly have not turned the corner yet.

We already reached the turning point quite a while ago but it doesn't matter.
The audience that was driven away has found new hobbies and is not coming back.

Even if it turns all the way back to 2010 it doesn't matter. It is too late. No one that stopped being a comics fan has any interest in coming back.
This is really also part of why the comics game movement is fading away. Intitially a LOT of the interest they got was that audience that wanted change and wanted
the industry to course correct. The majority of the sales EVS and the others had were probably from this segment. People that were still invested in comics but
wanted to protests what was happening in the mainstream. Maybe seeing supporting these cg comics as a way try to correct the industry and get rid of the woke stuff.

I feel like these people are now also giving up and moving on, and buying less and less cg comics as well.
People bought CyberFrog not because it was a great comic (it wasn't) but to make a stand against the mainstream comics industry. Even these people are moving on now.

At this point expecting the audience to come back is like expecting that if they just drop the tranny then people will come back and buy bud light again.
 
Comics are already dead. People are reading manga instead. Just look in any Barnes and Noble, there's walls of manga but not a single floppy to be found. And the DC and Marvel graphic novels section is typically tiny.

I bet that manga is a big part of what's keeping comic shops afloat nowadays.

Superhero comics are irrelevant, CG artists should have concentrated on something more story or character driven, but they wanted to relive the 90s speculation filled comic boom with counterfeit characters. A bad choice.

Warhammer 40K is kinda hot right now. CGers could be doing grimdark stuff in that vein with a new twist, but the only person I've seen try that is Del Arroz and his book looks uniteresting because the art just straight copies Warhammer style space marines.

Also did I miss EVS talking about his biggest champion, a COMICSGATE KING, VITO bailing on his comic?

Ethan trying hard as fuck to push his H3ll3phant flop on stream but is pretty much failing.

I'm noticing quite a few Indians and other people you wouldn't expect giving superchats in their worthless currency. Kinda funny. I guess they saw the elephant comic and got super excited lol.

Trashcast feels like is dying out, it juiced his livestreams for a bit but before long it's going to be as dead as Comicsgate Kings, which is a graveyard of broken dreams at this point.

That's just plain retarded because it caused the comics crash. They should have gone the tankobun route and sell 200 pages at $50-60.

EVS used to rail against the huge amount of variant covers that marvel and dc puts out saying he wants readers not speculators.

My speculation(lol) is that he cant draw enough comic fast enough for ppl to read and grow the reader base so he switches to the variant cover strat that he used to deride cause it's easier. Ironic.
 
ya boi Zack: be a pioneer of anti-SJW youtube, back when that sort of parody/criticism was cool & edgy, and pave the way for other content creators to cash in on culture war drama.

also ya boi Zack: Suddenly starts ridiculing his own creation, mocking them as "birthday party clowns" for basically following in his footsteps, essentially trying to burn bridges and pull the ladder up after himself.

Don't get me wrong, he's made plenty of good content over the years, Jawbreakers was a quality comic, and he's not a cow. But what seemed like an amusing, ironic heel turn at first has simply become bizarre.

This was EVS' window of opportunity. We saw his initial sales figures. If he had any kind of work ethic, he could have cranked out comics, got them to customers, kept his customers buying, continued to grow his fanbase, etc. He could have built a loyal, dedicated fanbase that could have kept him afloat for years even if it were only made up of aging comic fans.

Eastman and Laird created a multi-million (billion?) dollar comic empire, because they spent years cranking out their black and white independent comics on a regular basis. TMNT probably would have been a flash in the pan if they hadn't steadily fed their customers more turtle books. The failure of CG is that when demand was through the roof, these guys cut their supply to a trickle. Even a steady supply of mediocre entertainment will keep people buying your books, but nobody has patience for creators who are unpredictable and stop producing for indefinite periods of time.

Do people think that EVS is using the money for the new books he's advertising to pay for the pile of old books he hasn't published and delivered? Or is he straight up taking the money and never planning to complete his late books? I'm wondering how long he can keep the scam going?

That's why he's trying to switch to putting out All Caps crapola that other people draw and write that way he can collect proceeds without doing much of anything.

The problem is he doesn't have very many good ideas and his paypiggies wallets are getting increasingly thin.
