I'M HAVING A HOOT EATING CORNETTE THE LONG WAY

Dawgstar posted:

God bless, Bill. God bless.

Edit: Spot checking the comments...

A guy from Mexico says that the CG community is much more inclusive to him than other communities he's tried, like Tumblr and can boast a number of minority creators amongst its ranks. His print on demand book is about... ah, 'Red Ninja Momiji' who has giant hooters and wears less than Psylocke does...

'Comcisgate is against people who put politics over good storytelling' blah blah blah...'

Comics already WERE weaponized by the shifty leftists ages ago...

Somebody said Bill was two steps away from going full Alex Jones. Good, good.

I like the fact that as opposed to GG the comic industry has eloquent and intelligent people who are good with words to respond to the CHUDs (it also helps that for all it's faults the comic industry is downright progressive compared to the techbro douche culture of vg companies).

Has anyone informed this gentleman that his vision of a cop and a soldier who kill "bad guys" and take their stuff is, in fact, essentially a "far left" critique?

At least Doug TenNapel is talented and creative on top of being a huge rear end in a top hat.

The most creative thing the axe cop guy ever did was a comic where Jesus walks on piss.

Axe Cop is a comic he made with his literal child brother. Like, I'd actually be okay calling it apolitical simply because I don't believe an 8(?) year old telling stories about a cop that uses and axe and rides a t-rex with machine gun arms is really doing anything other than being a silly child.

Sucks that Nicolle has roughly the same critical thinking skills, though.

to be specific the kid was 5 when the comic was started at the very end of 2009. He'd be 12-13 now

It was extremely monkeycheese, but yeah, a cute gimmick, and a lot of it is free on his website, if you want to turn on an ad blocker and check it out. I certainly understand if that's even a bridge too far, though.

It'd be hard to say that such a work is not INFORMED by politics but it is true that the child would not be consciously creating a political message at 5 years old, unless it was some sort of ultimate communist baby.

That's certainly true, and Nicolle being the artist is still half of the creative team, so his influence is going to be there regardless.

Kids have political views, they're just really poorly thought out and the kids don't think of them as such. EG: Axe cop is a good guy and he kills bad guys. An inherently political statement.

"Death To All Jews", yeah. What a hilarious joke!

My favorite thing to do with "jokes" like that is ask what the punchline is. It's never a good answer.

Yeah. Like I can already think of a couple of characters, at best, he liberally "homaged" from.

His statement was interesting in claiming that there's a lot of Latino, Asian and Muslim creators in CG, too. I'm sure the rest will be speaking up any day now in droves.
