Those comments on the KS are depressing as fuck...

This one made me chuckle when it came out:
The only one I actually found amusing was one where they were discussing how Valve was adding a "third team" to TF2 (this was a few years back), and the last panel showed a bunch of giant hats running around Harvest with guns.
EDIT:
Okay...both of those are pretty good. What a coincidence that the best of CAD has nothing to do with Ethan and crew...and the worst of CAD has EVERYTHING to do with Ethan and crew.
I'd say the best webcomics are the ones rarely focused on gaming.

You can envy some aspects of someone's life without doing the same for the whole package, especially when those negatives are unrelated to the positives and entirely the person's fault. I mean, if he was despised for being successful you'd have a point, but by your own admission it's his attitude that caused it; he could have had success without scorn.
Heh, that's some crazy luck starting with two of the best (AZ is probably by far the best). Did someone recommend them to you?
I also love Subnormality, not gaming-related, but I can understand how it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

I was assuming the hypothetical was that we were taking on the whole package.

no one involved with this project
This one actually genuinely disgusted me, so I guess that's a step up from the complete boredom I get from his other strips.This one made me chuckle when it came out:

When the inevitable occurred and he dropped out of college, Tim decided to use the internet as a vehicle to restart his life and in 2003 his abortion of a webcomic actually found something of a fanbase despite bland jokes, poor quality, and inaccurate video game references. However, it was Buckley's many, many other issues that removed him from his pedestal, including boorish behavior towards fans, pompousness, and begging for sales. He's since been removed from many convention invite lists and hasn't been to any since 2006.

Ok that was my memory playing tricks,
it's all shit,
I can't believe I just wasted so much time looking for it.
dear god the art.
And so much fucking text!
It's worse than a fucking book.
Yikes. Even the CAD Rule can't save that one.

Officer J Allen responded to a shoplifting call at Stop & Shop on May 26. Upon Allen's arrival he saw the suspect, Timothy Buckley, laying on the floor of the security office, tired and out of breath.
According to store security, Buckley was seen shoplifting and needed to be physically led to the office. Security guards said he was cooperative for a short time and then tried to escape again, fleeing towards the door.
Allen got Buckley up off the floor and proceeded to pat him down. Allen recovered two packets of El Paso seasoning in his front right pocket.
The store security said they observed Buckley on the cameras putting some items down the front of his pants. A veal cutlet and top round steak were recovered from his waistband. According to the report, these were the items he tried to push down his pants.
In total, $23.35 in goods was recovered from Buckley.
Timothy Buckley, of West Warwick, was charged with shoplifting and was released on a summons to appear in Third District Court.

I don't like Buckley but some of this stuff like reposting a report of a shoplifting incident from before CAD-existed seems a bit... Invasive? I dunno, it's easier to make fun of the guy off the poor basis of his comic he already inserts a lot of himself into than to start digging into his past. I feel like there's a line between talking about that and him using the fame of his comic to get away with charity fraud or exposing himself to a minor on his forums.

I'm not sure why people are so shocked that this thing got funded. As many others have noted, in the Internet era all you have to do is get a few thousand people to love the content you create and you can make a decent living. Yeah it sucks that hot garbage like CAD can rake in money, but chances are there's at least a dozen other streamers, YouTubers, Etsy creators, and/or comic artists who are able to create things you like because of internet-based revenue streams. You gotta take the good with the bad.

Lose? You make it sound like I should be ashamed of my avatar choice.
Also all of the information I am reposting is public domain.
there's no explanation of the bird hair so I doubt it's actually himI just hope it includes the Tru Ending:

What in god's name happened to Penny Arcade.
I dont mind the puppety off color noses (and i never understood back in like 2010/11 or so when it felt like everyone on twitter was in a tizzy over artists who used them) but flipflopping in the same strip is some amateur-hour shit.

Tumblr Nose is the worst.
I don't think this would actually be so bad if it didn't look like the characters regressed by 10 years.

My issue is way more with Gabe than Tycho. Gabe got the freckles, the youthful chipmunk expressions, and started getting longer hair in the back. Gabe not only regressed, he started using facial expressions that didn't match the dialogue or the established character. It was less sarcastic and selfish, and it made it hard to deliver dialogue believably for me. Gabe also started over-expressing. Like in the CD-R comic from a few strips in the last panel when he's saying "It's just Glycerine?", his mouth is way too wide open, why is he screaming that?
Tycho has gotten kind of messed up looking in a few strips, but for the most part he has retained appropriate expressions and hasn't shown anywhere near the same youth-regression as Gabe.

Bahaha that's funny 'cos it's true. It wasn't until I saw illustrators on Tumblr that I noticed how a lot of them are really obsessed with making the (tip of the) nose a red/pink blob. Some artists pull it off well, but yeah...

Is it because of the special snowflake syndrome a typical tumblr poster has?

Yep, if it gets to .5 million, we will finally get the REAL ending of CAD 1.0.

Lilah turns out to be a baby-murdering serial killer, and when confronted she shoots Lucas, forcing Ethan to brutally murder in her in self-defense. Two days later, Ethan will be playing video games as though nothing happened, and the whole comic will have turned out to be an allegory for Buckley's failed relationship.

It's because the nose is typically more red than the base skin tone, but the problem with 'tumblr nose' is that said artists don't realistically paint the face, so it stands out and looks awkward/out of place.
I do imagine it stems from a desire for their art to be different and quirky.
The funny thing being that I follow over a hundred artists on Tumblr and none of them do tumblr nose, nor do I see the aspects that others constantly complain about. Just like any other site, hang out where you like and it's all good.

I miss magic eye.
I didn't know it worked on a laptop screen. I mean, why wouldn't it? But... wow.
I gotta find a Magic Eye site now.
Is it bad that I need to see this?

Yeah, it reminds me of the other comic trip that GAF was obsessed.

He spent two years developing the ending for his comic. Then he released it and people said, Whaaa? So he made an addendum which answered all the questions or something I guess. And now he's making the exclusive, special ending, which I suppose was also planned 4 years ago.
I'm not sure why fans tolerate this sort of thing. Maybe it's how it's done in Japan and he's replicating it?

Just noticed that you answered my question, thanks.
I think DSP and B^Uckly should team up somehow. They're kind of similar.
It would be the best worst thing ever.
Another CAD thread, another time when I don't understand GAF's obsession with the miscarriage comic, reducing number of panels or Castle Vidcons.
On topic, always cool to see webcomics brought into physical copies. That being said, CAD never really was my jam (I've always been more of a Fanboys guy, for gaming webcomics at least) and ew at whatever the art style turned into.

Doesn't make much sense when the negatives come from bad decisions you yourself wouldn't make. Otherwise what you're wishing is having your entire self replaced with the other person, which is not much different than dying.
