WELP, Tim Buckley (known by many other names) is going big or going home with a hardcover anthology set. Looking back, I don't see how I was ever into this strip, but it still has its fans.

Sorry Tim, My heart belongs to Ronnie now. Anyone a fan of this still? Anyone biting?

And this is coming from a damned fool that threw away her money on the "Premium" animated series.

 

[McDougles]

Sorry, too late for me to be typing and missed the first part of the title.

OT: At least it's not a Kickstarter for a $10 podcast.

 

[Corpekata]

Kickstarter was a mistake. It's nothing but trash.

 

[NateDrake]

The only CAD comic I've ever seen is the one in the OP (just without the logos and random character faces).

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

I'm at a loss as to why people are funding this

 

[HUELEN10]

Holy... SIX people have already pledged no fewer than 600 smackers, jeez!

 

[L33T]

I'm at a loss too

It has to be Tickley doing it on his own

Holy shit. That shit should be carved into your tombstone so your shame will be everlasting.

150 THOUSAND DOLLARS

you mean whompcomic?

 

[HUELEN10]

you mean whompcomic?

No, I mean Ronnie PERIOD.

Otaku Dad is a fine webcomic indeed...

 

[Instro]

Holy... SIX people have already pledged no fewer than 600 smackers, jeez!

It's all Buckley.

 

[BUNTING1243]

Didn't he reboot it to be some weird sci-fi shit after killing off all the main characters or something?

 

[Not Spaceghost]

That particular strip is seriously legendary

 

[HiroTSK5]

Where is the inevitable 1 volume version where the second and third panels are removed from every strip?

 

[CorvoSol]

you mean whompcomic?

Hard not to love Ronnie. He knows us all so well.

 

[RedShift]

Kickstarter does sound an easier way to make dough than raising money for charity then using it to buy an expensive art tablet for yourself that you use to copy and paste the same B^U face onto each character.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Ronnie is fantastic. I love him~

 

[Metal-Geo]

I'd rather pay for a hardcover book containing every variation the internet has made of this strip...

The first version, when you open the book, being the DOOM one.

 

[pizzacat]

Even the racist one

 

[Savitar]

He must have some hardcore fans, isn't he considered a joke by now.

It gets worse...

Yeah, I am not proud of it, not in the slightest. To think, I could have used all that money for something good, like good video games, or some movies or something. Honestly though, knowing I wasn't the only idiot that spent money on this shit is at least somewhat comforting.

 

[Phased]

This will never not make me laugh. Can't believe I enjoyed this guys work once upon a time.

 

[Nachos]

Well, I'm sure some parts of the internet are going to have a field day with this.

I'm at a loss too

Can't wait for the YouTube video where Phil messes up reading a four-panel comic. (Rehost for when the file gets purged.)

 

[Metalstrike]

haha!

 

[Infernal Monkey]

13 years of honing those art skills.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

This will never not make me laugh. Can't believe I enjoyed this guys work once upon a time.

Is there an additional panel or something in the original version that all the parodies are cutting out? If there's a punchline here (excluding whatever the parody versions are bringing to the table), I'm missing it.

 

[Corronchilejano]

CAD getting a successful kickstarter?

I feel so very old...

Nope that's it...unless you count his rant.

I'd buy that.

 

[SalvaPot]

That Strip is indeed legendary. I made a version a while ago.

But, yeah, I have never been a fan of his work, it always seemed bland to me.

 

[PensOwl]

 

[SteveWinwood]

there was a super sneaky one that took people forever to get

there are so many good ones

 

[Doctor Ironic]

Only Tim Buckley would offer a "Kickstarter-exclusive wallpaper."

I hope it's just a 1920x1080 yellow square with the word "wallpaper" on it.

 

[way more]

I always thought CAD was just a crappy webcomic out of the sea that is the internet. It wasn't till the miscarriage comic that I wondered how other cartoonists could hate him so much.

This podcast featuring other known internet comic makers explains it well

http://ww.libsyn.com/webcomics-weekly-1-reboots

OH does it ever. What a scumbag that guy is. It's a great listen if you want somewhere to direct your hate for a while.

 

[Fandangox]

holy shit

I have been looking on the internet for this forever, I love you so much.

I've seen spoofs of it 8,000 times, but never seen the original. what is it and why is it so infamous? I'm out of the loop here.

What in the world! :dead:

Don't feel old. Now, if Raine Dog ever gets reimagined, THEN I'll feel old.

But unlike Dana Simpson, I don't think Mr. Buckley, with all due respect. ever took the time to reassess the good his work had to make it great, and take criticism to improve as an artist.

Dana's the anti-Buckley; she took a step back, found herself, didn't let life drama poison her talents, and came back confident enough to win a contest, impress Scott Adams himself, and come up with the most wonderful kid-friendly newspaper strip in years.

Tim could learn a lot from her.

It's a comic about his girlfriend having a miscarriage. It was infamous for being a tonal misfire given it's a goofy webcomic.

Know your meme has a pretty good write up and the original.

Tl;dr: a web comic about video games suddenly decides to have one of the main characters wife have a miscarriage. Because REASONS.

 

[HUELEN10]

I forgot that EEGRA even made it their holiday card that year...

 

[Symphonia]

I regrettably bought two of the books back when I was a fan.

Looking back I guess loss.jpg really was a "you had to be there" kind of thing, but it was such a phenomenon in its terribleness that even Zero Punctuation took time out of their schedule to make an entire episode on it.

This shit is going to make its goal. There is no god.
