Damn, can you ramble or what? So TV ratings exist, and that means that they ruined your life? I'll admit, I didn't finish reading all that, because I have a limited tolerance for crazy paranoid bullshit, but was there a point? Did you ever get back to the TV ratings bit?
 
So TV ratings= you losing some gig on a college paper. It has nothing to do with you not being able to play office politics.

Oh and you didn't get your yearbook. Oh no you can't have a useless book that will waste away in storage. You supposedly got fucked over and you haven't been able to get over it nearly 2 decades later. Your inability to get over such a minor slight is astounding.
 
You get the feeling he would've blamed the ice cream man had things hadn't gone his way if he felt like tying him to said events.

Ice cream man was LIBERAL SCUM and obviously supported all liberal legislation. Because, as we all know, every liberal is exactly the same. Interests never differ in a large group of people.

I know that I yearn to live in the Union of American Socialist Republics.
 
An entire post of salient points going in one ear and right out the other. Who else does that remind me of? :stupid:

In my day we didn't take girls out on formal dates. If we liked her and she liked us, we slipped off into a broom closet or a bathroom stall somewhere and fooled around. It was the nineties; things were simpler then.

Gee, Grampy, tell us all some more stories about that charmingly antiquated decade known as THE '90s that you lived in! Tell us about the good old days before TV ratings and the Interwebs and Imagine Dragons and digital cable and Grand Theft Auto and salmonella-free Jack in the Box! Wait, no, you don't need to tell me because I was there, and people definitely dated in the '90s, so I kinda think you don't really know what you're talking about. There's nothing complicated about dating, either, from what I saw it was two people arranging to go somewhere to spend time together. That's it.

Honestly, if dating is that hard for you to wrap your mind around and your idea of a relationship is humping in a bathroom stall, maybe that explains why girls never wanted anything to do with you. That and the fact that you don't seem to understand why your coworker was creeped out by a strange man staring at her neck all the time.

I will say that if all comics looked the same with "perfect" composition, it would be boring.

Then make it merely nearly perfect? Breaking the norms is okay if it actually breaks the monotony and adds something to the work.

But what people are suggesting here is that it's pretty obvious that you're not fighting the monotony. They're saying you can't be bothered to do it properly. If your composition is totally out of whack and it only serves to make the comic harder to read, people are looking for other, more probable causes on why you're doing it. Like laziness and incompetence.

And stick-figure bodies are no different than black clothes against dark backgrounds; I just have to use sharper contrast to get them to stand out.

But you don't use sharper contrasts to get them to stand out. Why?

I'm not responding to the New Obama Order thing because it's just idiotic. I will say that if all comics looked the same with "perfect" composition, it would be boring. The eccentric speech bubbles are part of what lends my work its charm. And stick-figure bodies are no different than black clothes against dark backgrounds; I just have to use sharper contrast to get them to stand out. They do wear clothes if the plot calls for it, e.g. disguise work.

I felt far more secure and happy under Reagan and both Bushes. I notice I lose out a lot more with Democrats in power. I weathered one Clinton term all right, but literally his first act of his new term was to sign the TV ratings bill into law, and that was the beginning of the end for me. I can never forgive him for that.

TV ratings ruined my life too. The impact they have on my freedom and daily life is ENORMOUS and UNFORGIVABLE.

What do you mean by "perfect composition"? Because all it is being used for here in this discussion is relate to the art needing to be "readable" and have "design flow" which are, well, necessary to express thoughts through comics.

A) You know how much you sound like Chris when you say this, right?
B) How many comic artists do you think get by on "charm" if they don't also have the necessary skill of comic composition?

Black clothes against dark backgrounds you say? Well you're in luck, Jeff Smith has drawn a picture of Tesla (lower left hand corner) in a black suit against a black background all in shocking black and white! Look at how easy it is to see!

Liberals aren't holding you back on becoming a famous cartoonist, you are.
You and only your adherence to your "charming" and hard to parse "style" are keeping you from reaching the actual goals you wish to reach.
