Yeah probably back in the 2018 part of this thread when it was news.
I'm waiting til you get to the part where you blow our minds by revealing the existence of Dead Beats.

She was complaining at some point about the music in the gym being sexist, I guess she dropped that act and never went back.

Has the fact that she presented herself as a "controversial Comics book personality" to promote books, ever been mentioned here?
She did it for two books.

The Worth & The Cost

A 22-page, one-shot comic book, a science-fiction fable for a Resistance audience.

She went back quickly to being a political agitator.

Everyone knows Renfamous, she's like the Poundland knock-off version of Zoe Quinn.

She's old news.

Nothing you mention there is shocking, and more importantly, actually funny. We've pretty much milked her dry and now-a-days you have to actively get out there on Twitter and mercilessly bait-her to squeeze out even a droplet of lulz.

Nobody with a functional penis personality gives a damn about a culture-war, we are just here to watch monkeys throw shit at each other.

Yes. Renfamous is a non-entity that moved over to kickvic.

Either do something current or fuck off.

Speaking of....

Simple Zach has continued to review new comic releases despite his ultimatum that he was going to take a knee. Probably his spiciest video was a counter to Perch on whether fans held any blame for Future State.

After lighting Mike S Miller on fire in his last video with a healthy dose of comment shenanigans by covered in detail earlier in the thread, @FROG has stopped broadcasting. He's probably knuckling down and actually doing the business of making comics. Horrifying.

Mike S Miller posted a video today. An ongoing part of his cross examinations, Mike began the stream with Crypto Currency figures superimposed over the Cross.

Mike continued to spend forty minutes talking about Crypto Currency and furniture as a dozen or so peeps including our own Nassar Rabbadi shuffled in. Mike finally transitions to Samuel before criticizing other Christians who don't like worldly music? I guess that's a thing? Anyway afterward I felt terrible for Jesus, so if that was Mike's goal, success!

Doug Low T ennapel has continued his Trump videos. He brought Eric Metaxas to talk about God's plan for Trump!


Doug talks about Christians being divided into NeverTrump and Trump. Funny, as I know quite a few who really like Joe Biden. He talks about how NeverTrump Christians piss him off? What does this have to do with comics? Nothing. We had a few Doug simps in here a while ago. But you would think that if he could post all of this inquirer esque clickbait, he could platform actual comics?

Across the isle, I guess, would be people that still give a fuck about the mainstream. Perch posted a video on the great Jim Steranko about why everyone gets mad at him? Perch does his usual bit, trying to straddle the fence so hard it hits his prostate.


This is apparently relating back to Jim's comments on COVID in March. Specifically acknowledging that COVID is a Chinese virus

The CHINESE PANDEMIC has stolen year from our lives —I've felt it as much as anyone! Those who know me and have hung out with me at shows know the importance I lay on personal appearances and connecting at gigs with fans from every corner of the USA! Will be ready WHEN YOU ARE!

That's right, Jim acknowledged the virus is from China guys. Cue the inciting violence against "Asians."

Perch can continue to equivocate like a bitch, meanwhile Jim's fine.

Did you guys know Kurt Busiek and Dan Slott put up a blockbot against followers of Diversity And Comics and Frog on twitter in 2017? And yet nobody's talking about it in this thread. Makes you wonder why that is.

Instead people would rather hear stuff like TUG's wife Lola coming back to youtube to livestream her slowly grooming Carla Tornielli into becoming an OnlyFans streamer while breathing suspiciously heavy off camera.


But did you know Joe Quesada follows Renfamous on twitter? Why aren't we discussing that?

I am truly fascinated by this breaking news from these terribly important figures. I breathlessly cannot wait to see what they do next. :smug:

Surely this is more interesting than watching a mass of human autism on the Internet slowly dissolve.
 
I'll get back to broadcasting soon. I'm enjoying drawing CYBERFROG at the moment, and would really like to be able to launch CYBERFROG 3 this year.

That happens only if REKT PLANET is completely fulfilled by the end of summer. So I'm cutting my YouTube activity in half and making up the income on eBay sales.

This is going to be a really good year for CYBERFROG. Now hit me with those Optimistic reacts!
 
I know the Canaan White disavowal of CG was mentioned before the thread devolved into a combination Tourette's rant/clip show, but to set the stage:
Screenshot_2021-03-09-14-42-39-1.png
Canaan White made a public display of "leaving" CG. This really pissed off Jon Malin:

Word around the campfire is, Canaan had to do it to get a better work

And sides are being taken, of course.

But....Canaan's last 2 CG crowdfunds with Antonio Brice (Ikari Press) haven't done well at all:

Probably safe to say, CG left him before he left it. But there's enough gayness & public displays of loyalty to either side to go around.

And I am enjoying every minutes of it.
I will still report on things that I don't like.
Thursday, I will give Zach some justice because my quarrel was never about him, but him giving Joe Glass a win made me mad as hell.
He was a trooper, absolutely nowhere near a chain of command.
I will celebrate when Clownfish tv will beat him I predict 75k, it is just printing and shipping, everything has already been done.

Zach being away from the fight will cost him dearly.
Does he even have a back up account?
If his YouTube channel get deleted, he doesn't even have a plan B.
No Bitchute or Libry.
How can someone be so careless?

@Furyan is to YBZ what @Tyne is to @NasserRabadi13

Speaking of Nasser and typos in comicsgate, hope you did not overpay your editor for 100 days to Halloween, because the book had an easily spotted typo every 5-10 pages.
Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable book for slasher fans and I would gladly have reviewed it positively on the zon and GR if I was not going to powerlevel myself or have evidence I am following an "alt-right" biggot.

Now that Canaan White has left Comicsgate, what is the potential status of the manga book you were talking about back in 2018? The rednecks with cars that turn into mechs, American Manga I think it was called?

I'd humbly suggest hiring Ody to take over Canaan's role as artist. I didn't back Xenotype (for obvious reasons) but from what I've heard his artwork was the best part of that book. Ody's black and white version of the book was received better than the colored version, so I'd even suggest producing the book in black and white which means you'd save money and time on not hiring Kyle Ritter to color it. Ody is rumored to be able to pump out 3 pages a day, meaning a decent sized book could be produced rather quickly.

You could even hire a writer from CG, perhaps Keung Lee, Raging Golden Eagle or Yellowflash to polish your script, so you could still focus on Rekt Planet, Reignbow Brute and Cyberfrog 3. With an EVS cover, Ody on art, the assistant writer, the book could be done and fulfilled rather quickly and is almost certainly guaranteed to hit over six figures.

Jim Steranko is 82 years old; his only form of active income was appearing at conventions and those were already cancelled because of the Chinese Virus. The guy isn't cranking out comic books at his age so there really isn't shit these people can cancel him from. Maybe he'd be willing to make his appearances on livestreams? Hey, Roy Thomas was willing to do it.

I don't know, there's already a scene for people who are disaffected with the American comics market and are fine with manga as an alternative for Ody to turn to. It's called "manga". I'm curious to see if it's possible that Odysseas can find success as a self-marketing manga artist before settling into the niche role of "Comicsgate Manga". The instagram hype for his solo project Tomahawk Angel looks to be gaining momentum so we'll see.

Frog made a short guest appearance on Nasser's latest livestream to give his thoughts on it: that Canaan simply wasn't making enough money off the page rates from the last few underperforming campaigns to make a living wage and that at the end of the day Canaan's primary responsibility is to supporting himself and his family. He urges the people watching to not judge Canaan too harshly.

Jon Malin as we see had a different stance on this, venting his frustration on Canaan now being forced to denounce Comicsgate for financial reasons after years of steadfastly ignoring everyone's advice being sent his way. Which is also understandable.

YouTube is sending messages to foreign creators today telling them that they're required to pay US tax on all their YT earnings now (adsense, superchats, etc). Some countries are exempt depending on whatever tax treaty they have with the US but I can't decipher the Australia rules. Could mean an additional 25% or so on top of YT's normal huge cut.

Yeah, there is a slight problem.
Social Blade takes the info from youtube. If you have, say over 1K subs it is counted in 10's. If you have hidden your sub count, it will remain at 1K. The moment you reveal them again, the Social Blade API shows a sudden decrease.
This is why, for instance, YBZ's subcount shows so little change, because he neither gains or loses enough subs to change by 10,000 subs.
So, unless Oz was not hiding his sub count and you were constantly checking them, then this may be incidental.

Caanan was supposed to draw FEARSOME, which is a complete story in my mind, and will definitely be the third IP I launch at ALL CAPS.

Caanan could be frustrating...when I was ready to do FEARSOME, he was wrapped up in other projects. But then When I’d mention that I was going to draw a remake of the Reservoir Frog cover for the reprint, he’d do it really quick and send it over. Like, “what am I supposed to do with this?”

It’s like he was auditioning for jobs I’d obviously created for myself and ignoring the one I’d created for him.

Anyhow, I’ll find someone new for FEARSOME or draw it myself. Caanan is great but he didn’t really get the visual I was describing to him.
