 I don't remember the name of the Goon that drew this, but I do remember that he made amazing pictures, and a story about a pickle. Edit: Also,

PAX became hilarious because Gabe kept getting super mad about things like dress codes and having queer game developers on the floor. Really I think PA would still have a good rep here if Richard Khoo was able to tell Gabe to shut the gently caress up once in a while.

My first experience with DD was during the Going To The Desert (To Die) arc and that set my tone of expectations. I like how in that little vision of the future near the end of the comic it's implied that Jayden got back together with her ex-boyfriend. You know, the one whose reaction to her cheating on him was to 1) maul her face off (but it's okay because it was just a magic clone, not that he knew it at the time), and 2) destroy diplomatic relations with other nations by exiling all humans from his country and destroying their house of worship. True love!

He teamed up with another webcomic person (a sort-of decent artist who used to make some dumb Neil-Gaiman-meets-Gargoyles fanfiction) to make a new and very mediocre comic called Star Power. Nobody really followed it. It was bad, but not memorable-bad. But that was a while ago, so it is possible that one or both of them are now dead.

MiracleFlare posted:Didn't she eventually end up warming up to her rapist and openly calling him her husband? classy. The rapist (inspired by the artist's World of Warcraft character) was a true hero and absolutely everyone who did not accept this was under demonic influence. The rapee was a Good character so, yes, obviously she forgave him and came to love him.

From what I gathered, Mookie as a person is/was this fun guy to hang around with who unfortunately had absolutely zero self awareness and also a hugbox community around his webcomic which let him sustain that level.

Right up my alley. Did the old CAD threads introduce us to Diana Kennedy's Victorian era JFK alt history or was this one of those crossover edits? It's been so long...

After ten thousand posts of making fun of Dobson for wanting to eat at McDonald's and being a bear it gets old. It bottles my mind why people still think editing things to be in the four panels shape of loss is still funny too.

YeahTubaMike posted:i think dobson went the same route, eventually getting too boring to mock Buckley has enough of a tough guy persona to keep on swinging. Post CAD-ending he just returned to making dud jokes about gaming news featuring The Players, living off Patron and has just done some kickstarter game. And he's regurgitated an old idea where Ethan and Lucas have super-hero powers. He's kept his head down as far as I can tell. He's a far cry from when he was openly boasting about being so great and inadvertently blowing server donations on plasma TV's and embarrassing car mods and even more shameful past before CAD. Dobson had a meltdown/ragequit (again). This time he managed to get the cops called to him after fears he was suicidal, but not really, which his fan base really didn't approve of and chased him off DeviantArt. This wasn't helped by sticking his nose into GamerGate and trying to be a informed feminist on the subject via a parody of Vivian James. It went down as well as you'd imagined and snapped his brain in two. He's like a modern day Sisyphus, punished for his "cleverness" by pushing a boulder up a hill for it to fall back at the top. Just in his case he's demanding the gods roll the bolder for him because he's above such a menial task such as effort. BogDew fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Jun 7, 2016 |

Remember when someone offered Dobson a job illustrating for children's books? A job that would be perfect for someone who is supposedly an aspiring professional artist in that he would be getting paid to draw and practice his craft? He then refused because he didn't wanna waste his time on no gay rear end baby poo poo
