Is it just me, or do Kaz and Phil look way too similar here? I thought it was the same character in the first and third panels at first.

 

[PsychBat!]

Okay I'll bite, why do we all hate CAD?

You don't lurk here often, do you?

 

[Ray51]

can we just talk about good comics instead? any time this guy or the cat man publishes a new strip there's a thread about it, it seems pointless cruel to me. apologies if there already are thread about good game comics and i've just overlooked them.

 

[SoulUnison]

This should really be the TvTropes page image for "Never Live it Down."

 

[Oblivion]

Okay I'll bite, why do we all hate CAD?

Cause...it's terrible?

It's not funny, it's not clever, and it doesn't have a particularly pleasing art style.




Then again, that could also describe Penny Arcade, yet everyone seems to love that for some reason.

Cad is my favorite comic series for all the parodies

Let's get a little bit more abstract here:

 

[JeTmAn81]

SMH at the new comics. The ideas aren't bad, but they're so poorly executed there's no humor left in them.

SMH at the new comics. The ideas aren't bad, but they're so poorly executed there's no humor left in them.

It's fun to keep in mind that these are all a break from the regular CAD comics, in which the two main characters are now superheroes.

woah

 

[Oblivion]

I don't get it. Someone explain to me that butterfly pic.

 

[xxracerxx]

I don't get it. Someone explain to me that butterfly pic.

It's the miscarriage comic.

 

[Guimac09]

I wish there was a .zip with all the loss.jpg parodies
It will never lose the appeal to me

Same. Is there like an ongoing thread for these somewhere?

 

[RazorbackDB]

There is a lot at the pics that make you laugh thread but you would have to find them anyway.

Huh?

 

[Tagyhag]

That is so good!

 

[nynt9]

 

[xxracerxx]

Huh?

 

[PaineReign]

...They could have at least said "byte marks" in the first comic.

Edit:

They missed a perfect opportunity to use "byte" instead of "bite".

Damn, beaten!

 

[Oblivion]

No, I know about that. I'm wondering how the butterfly pic fits into this?

 

[MaximumSpider]

holy shit

 

[nynt9]

No, I know about that. I'm wondering how the butterfly pic fits into this?

Four panels. Four wing sections. Compare the color schemes of the wings to the panels.

 

[JDSN]

No, I know about that. I'm wondering how the butterfly pic fits into this?

Compare The four wings to the four pannels.

 

[SerTapTap]

There's beating the joke to death and then there's this, which I believe is legally defined as abuse of a corpse.

This is the best one. This is how you make overtelling the joke into the joke.

That Vivilloon one is fantastic too

 

[FyreWulff]

The first one would have been good with no text bubble and the minecraft text on the bottom.


Every webcomic likes to overexplain the joke. STOP

 

[Vermillion]

please no more

 

[MUnited83]

 

[dani_dc]

Still my favourite one.

Cad is my favorite comic series for all the parodies

Brilliant!

 

[Spacejaws]

Wow I'm kinda confused. I've never followed CAD but he made a strip about his girlfriends miscarriage and the internet then proceeded to parody it ad infinitum?

Am I the only one that thinks thats kind of sick from both the author and the parodies?

 

[Roto13]

I wish we could have a thread about how terrible CAD is without it being 90% posts of that "Loss" comic and its parodies.

That comic is terrible so but so are most of the ones preceding and following it, guys.

 

[Corpekata]

They are making fun of Buckley for turning his goofy shitty gaming comic into a personal drama. Not making fun of the miscarriage itself. The fact that it is inappropriate is also part of the point.

Spoiler

Those were Buckley's actual words.

He also then proceeded to say something akin to "yeah, it sucked but I got over it" very nonchalantly. There was a Cyanide and Happiness comic about it.

EDIT: BEATEN!

 

[SoulUnison]

I'd cry, too, if I'd been sexually involved with TIm Buckley.

 

[LDAF]

Dear God, these parodies (the Pokemon one is amazing, and so is the one with everything made out of the comic itself) are amazing. They make the existence of the series worthwhile.

 

[Spacejaws]

Ok I get your reasonings but it still a pretty horrible subject matter. Like if someone had made a shit comic about a personnel rape or historical sexual abuse they should set the fuck away from that comic. Particularly if the author wasn't actually affected but someone they knew.

I don't have a delicate predisposition but it feels a bit like dead baby jokes, literally, because the fathers a douche.

Sorry I had to let that off my chest. Continue the fun.

 

[Supermanisdead]

i dont get any of it. what the hell is that "loss" comic supposed to be. isn't this some gaming-related comic strip?

 

[Some Nobody]

These comics didn't make me laugh all that hard, but neither are these attempts to make them "better".

 

[G-Fex]

If Tim Buckley didn't make these awful comics then there wouldn't be threads on them then where would all the loss parodies go?

So that's one positive.

 

[marrec]

Buckley should just go all in and make terrible Loss.jpg parodies for eternity.

 

[Shauni]

There was a running story at one point in which one character miscarried. Apparently, it was based on something that happened with the author in real life.

 

[BennyBlanco]

At least b^uckley doesn't use backgrounds from google image search anymore

 

[Naminator]

Brilliant!

Sooooooo....... what am I looking at?

Also I will agree that his comics are somewhat funny, but he does need to learn when to stop telling a joke.

Eh, the issue is in how he handled it. That Cyanide and Happiness comic above? The one with the stick figures and the wall of text in the final panel? That wall of text was what Buckley wrote on the topic. That's the kind of scumbag that he is.

No-one is joking at her expense. Plus, most of these jokes are relegated to the more niche corners of gaming internet like NeoGaf, so it's not like his ex is likely to come across it constantly. As far as trigger warnings go, it can be crass, but it's in no way meant to be at her expense. Not saying they're in good taste, but still, context seems key.

 

[D-Man]

This made my night.

Look at the original and its colors, then look at the butterfly wings and their color patterns.
