Guys not to simp, but @FROG was absolutely limping through his stream today, after that vicious Boyette Beatdown he just took on here, so I'm leaving him some CG video treats, to help him take his mind off things, that he (or you, reader!) may have missed:

Treat 1:
Frog this weekend seems to have found his ideal niche hobby in the bizarre phenomenon of 'gangster movie fan conventions', where he takes photos of himself with actors and then balks at his own unsightly girth as was recorded by the camera.


But for those of us who prefer a more conventional and adult-man-like appreciation of the gangster genre, look to none other than CG quality enforcement agent "Muscles" Nolan, who held this enjoyable gangster movie conference not too long ago. Where were you, Frog? Too busy waiting in line, for a disappointing and depressing photo of yourself, at a weird convention?

Treat 2:
Frog flails wildly at Kevin Smith on this lazy Sunday, but did you know that Kevin Smith and his rat-faced hanger-on Walter Flanagan were already taken out behind the woodshed and 'whacked' earlier this week?


That's right, and the job was a clean job, a professional job - unmistakably the work of 'The Cleaner' Art Thibert, assisted by his lovely charming wife, whom we might call 'The Tidier'.
 
LIAM GRAY - GROOM HUT UPDATE

Liam decided it would be a good idea to do a stream last night where the little girls he is living with are asked to dance on camera. It was very weird and made everyone watching uncomfortable.

He immediately took it down after seeing the chat telling him it is wrong to have underage girls twerking on any live stream. He has also taken down all his Treehouse Building videos all the sudden after this stream.

Here is the stream he didn't want you all to see - https://www.bitchute.com/video/MzoyPxdMMpqh/

Nasser, may I introduce you to a little story entitled Lord of the Rings ?

These are two completely different instances. LOTR is about several characters all with different missions and goals. It's about several characters. So if they go on a journey that's fine. But CYBERFROG is about CyberFrog. It's his story, not a group of unrelated characters.

that’s not exactly true, especially since Heather Swain has eclipsed Cyberfrog in popularity and had an ashcan written from her point of view telling her side of the story And Salamandroid is also starring in his own standalone comic.

Nasser, quit playing dumb. The great majority of LOTR protagonists interacted with each other at different times. I think what you mean to say that Cyberfrog isn't a superhero team like X-Men with multiple heroes heading up different story arcs at once which at some point converge. Fair enough, but unless you've really got an incredibly resonant solo story you need more than a couple supporting characters and villains. The Last of Us is a great example, TLU2 isn't. You had better have characters that hold up on their own. Space hornets are horror beasts with zero personality. They're pure Zerg. Ethan wants to superimpose a two-dimension TMNT ripoff over a survival horror setting without the aforementioned stakes or risks or reward. It's a pointless exercise.

Stop being dumb and think about it, instead of crying that people do not buy your books.
Issue 1 is just the opening act and sets up the world we are in. Then the inciting incident is Cyberfrog coming in to save the day. The danger, despair and the hope for CF changes it builds the character up.

The way EVS did bloodhoney was good too, the dude has the experience and skill to make a good comicbook. The opening with the computer narrating cyberfrog's origin was kinda epic but he went for a very tried and true approach to the story - establish who the characters are, have a random fight and then the invasion and CyberFrog waking up in a new world.
 
Hey @FROG
I recommend making Al Cap the patron saint of Comicsgate. He should be the Godfather of the movement. You've named your company All Caps Comics for fuck's sake. It's right in front of your face. All you'd need to do is tweak the logo to made the dude look a bit more like Al.

The character is an icon only for people who already know about Ethan's crowdfunded mediocrity and social media bloodsports.

Cyberfrog is a mascot for Ethan's shock-jock culchur war youtube channel. People would just as readily shell out for a comic about the laughing man, except the estate of Jack Chick might have something to say about it.
Moreso than Eastman and Laird, even.

And Mike took over a 100k pay cut in comic book sales when he left CG

I'm pretty sure both Mike and Edwin are familiar with Mark 8:36.

This isn't gaining the world and losing your soul. This is earning a living. Smiller took a $100k pay cut--that is NOT something to be happy or righteous about. It's not a good thing to lose money.

If it's for what you believe in, it's not necessarily meant to payoff in this life. Mike is a bit unhinged, but I think he knew exactly where he stood with EVS and preferred to not be one of EVS' whipping boys just for the privilege of making bank. Two words which will forever elude Frog are integrity and honor. You can't buy them and you can't put on an entertaining show to get them. Start thinking like a man with an ounce of self-respect and one day you just might get it. Might.

Doug TenNapel convinced Smiller and a few others that I am the literal Devil, and thus, accepting the contributions of my supporters for your crowdfunded comic book is "losing your soul".

Doug told them this directly after accepting $200,000 from my supporters for BIGFOOT BILL, and shortly before abandoning comics for a lucrative but all too short YouTube career selling Hopium to discombobulated Trump supporting senior citizens. :story:

I picked up on the dynamic between you two from a mile away. Mike was never completely comfortable when you guys starting getting a little profane, especially if his kids were around and when it was poking fun at him. He was too thin-skinned overall to be in your group and you picked up on it again and again and you had your way with him. Don't put this all on Doug with this ridiculous narrative. Man the Hell up for once.

that’s the thing, Mike doesn’t have integrity or honor either. With the exception of the Trump book, his campaigns are always late as fuck. he spent the Lonestar money to pay off his house and ran multiple campaigns at the same time in order to squeeze money out of the fans so he could get the fulfillment money. It is highly suspected that someone gave him the money to fulfill the Lonestar campaigns.
And Mike always surrounds himself with people who never go against his opinion just like a certain comic book artist you always like to complain about.

So, falling out with EVS and leaving CG cuz you don’t like the kind of stuff he does cuz you really are about the life Mark 8:36 describes is one thing, but that‘s not really what Mike did. He followed Doug’s lead and it cost him big. Not only was he too stubborn to turn back and go back to what was working for him moneywise, now it is too late because the fans won’t take him back. If he really was honorable and self respecting like that, he would have made his own way like Tim Lim and Doug Earnst did with an audience that is almost totally separate from the EVS CG crowd.

He was assigned the caboose and while Doug wasn't the ultimate answer for him, he and EVS would not have remained aligned for very long in my opinion. Doug simply made a play for what was most observable. Mike has made a lot of his own mistakes since then and I'm not blaming his failures on Ethan. What I'm saying is it's better to be your own man than to be an unhappy stooge in someone else's circus and that was most definitely the case in those days. I suppose he could have managed to push through it for another campaign, but the group dynamic was so damn cringe and War Campaign was at full strength back then, there's simply no way it would have ultimately worked out for Mike with EVS.

Why Ethan keeps trying to divert every single scrap of responsibility for his own freak train is one of the very few principles he actually holds.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Congratulations on making comics even gayer.
 
Malin, on his stream, just shat down on most of these fandom menace channels and how all they do is talk shit and ''fight the culture war'', by doing nothing. I think we can all agree on that one.
 
@FROG so you are "fighting the SJWS" (TM) by giving your backers donations to the Chinese Communists.

It's so ridiculous, I hope you crack $800,000 on your final day - people with the lack of sense and taste, and the gullibility to advance you several hundred dollars for a toy that will show up a year late absolutely deserve to be fleeced for as much as you can milk from them.

It may be counter intuitive but by backing your projects people aren't paying for a comic book to be delivered at a (much) later date. They are paying to learn some tough economic lessons, and impulse control. Some of your super backers will have to shell out several thousand before they realize they have joined Comic Book Scientology that uses storebrand Ninja Turtles as marketing materials.

Enough fun for a bit - I'll come back in two weeks to congratulate you on milking the gullible and "defeating the evil" with no small help from the Chi-Coms :)
