Artcow Tim Buckley

No, I just didn't want to make you cry on an internet forum.

Anyway, does anyone have the scene from the animated series where Buckley knocks over the billboard? That's the funniest thing

I've only seen bits of the series, but in this episode Ethan makes a pretty funny girly scream (go to the 00:19 mark). I think that the ninth episode of season one is also pretty good, never have I seen such great writing and directing in an animated web series.

Yeah, I was wondering why he needed a Kickstarter for this when he's put his comics into print before.

That said the collector's set looks pretty nice. It's just too bad it's being used to house such a mediocre comic. The artowrk he wants to put on the covers of each book only drives home how CAD was lazily made, because it's so much better than anything the comic has ever produced (and still somehow shit).

According to the blogpost about it, its two major selling points are that he tried to gather every piece of CAD media that could be printed and compiled it, and that he's releasing the storylines as uninterrupted. This is pretty interesting, actually, because it shows he might have listened to the criticism many people gave him about inappropriate mood whiplash, particularly after the infamous loss comic.

I know earlier in the thread people were debating whether Buckley is really worth discussing. He's not very good at what he does, but at the same time he's rather successful and he hasn't done much of actual note. Sometimes he even listens when people call him out, like that controversy about him plagiarizing a character design, which sets him apart from people like Dobson. Tim seems to have his life together fairly well and for as infamous as he is, his webcomic allegedly supports him (and his family, presumably). He sells shit off it, he has a 4k patreon, and his Kickstarter for the comics netted 400k.

The only truly noteworthy things I remember Buckley doing are the way he handled the Loss comic and the accusations that he used money from a charity drive to buy that Cintiq. Sure, he's a fool a lot of the time, but his infamy isn't exactly the same kind as a lolcow's infamy.

What the hell was going theufh Fuckley's mind when he made that
"Here I have this comedy webcomic, you know what this really needs? A miscarriage."

He'd started a plotline where Lila was pregnant, and he realized that if he ran with it, his comic might have to change and evolve. He couldn't have that, so he had her lose the pregnancy in the most melodramatic way possible so he could pretend he was dealing with Real Issues.

I tried reading his new stuff last night, and I didn't know what the hell was going on. Why are they superheroes suddenly? Or are they just at a dorky ass con?

Spoiler: I found this funny.

Buckley recently introduced the chracter of Captain Prime into his comic, I presume that this Lilah's superhero name. If this is indeed Lilah then it's nice to see that she still retains the crotch bulge she had prior to the reboot:

I remember reading some of this guy's stuff and finding it pretty bland and uninteresting. It wasn't Sonichu levels of bad, but it in a way of that kinda makes it worse.

The loss comic, the outburst it caused, and legacy it left behind is absolutely brilliant though.

Wasn't he also caught sending pictures of his dick to an underage girl?

Yes. She was autistic as well.

I know I'm pretty late to the party, but I think this is a thread worthy of a reboot.
Did anyone see the original ending to the first "arc" of CAD? It made no damn sense, and had B^U's self-insert character die. I never gave a crap about any of the idiot characters, but that seems like a pretty dumb way to end your series, especially for the few fans it had.

Honestly? At least it was a surprising ending, I really expected this to end with Ethan's heroically saving the day and coming back to the present with everything back to normal. BTW, your post ties in to the CAD Kickstarter I mentioned earlier. It met all of its funding goals, which means...

If, beyond all of my hopes and expectations for this campaign, we manage to reach $500,000, I will add eight pages to Book Two of the Ctrl+Alt+Del 1.0 set. I will fill those pages with an extended ending sequence to the original Ethan and Lucas saga. What I, as the writer, always imagined happened next, beyond what I showed you.

I want to be clear that this is not an alternate ending, or a retcon of the existing ending. I won't go into more detail than that, because if we reach this goal, and I add this story, I want it to be a nice surprise awaiting those readers that have loved and cherished these characters for so long.

I am also going to issue fair warning that if this happens, it is possible that this will push the books back a week or two (or at least eat into the buffer already allotted, anyway). While this is a story that has been kicking around my head for the past three years, and it is already written, it will need to be drawn and added to the book. Not a major delay, but there it is.

I can't wait until the inevitable happens and those eight pages will be scanned and uploaded online.

I didn't understand the rationale behind the reboot at all. I agree, if you were a fan of the comic, it took everything you liked and chucked it out the window.

Tim's answer was that he was tired do telling those kinds of stories and wanted to try something new. That's his prerogative, but it's not like "webcomic creator" is known for being a steady and lucrative career. My advice to him would have been to not rock that boat too hard.

Honestly, Buckley was never a... stellar writer. Otherwise he probably would've realized that Loss could have been done way better. I guess he wanted to end it in some wacky, yet dramatic fashion, and it just ended up being... silly.

Honestly, he's a somewhat mediocre webcomic author (going between "incompetent" to "well that was worth the read I guess") and while he's had his issues with criticism, he at least tries to make some improvement. As small as the improvements to CAD are, they're more noticeable than, say, Dobson's advancements, and Buckley has some good charity work and whatnot. Honestly speaking, I'm kinda happy that he ended the whole Ethan story and just made it all about just some random video game jokes and the whole Player One-Four thing, because while he did try to make some storyline with Ethan and company, I can't stress this enough, but again, he's not a very good writer.

(That being said, as someone who actually did read CAD from the start of its beginning to the conclusion of the Ethan storyline when I was kid... I can't help but say I have some nostalgia for it. It's still a bad story in retrospect, but the small little kid in me kinda smiles at the ending. ... 8-Bit Theater was still better though.)

Inevitable is the best word for the situation. Anyways, I've heard talk of B^U being a pedo. Was this ever confirmed? I know it was originally a joke, but it got so out of hand that I wonder...
