Citation needed on Willis.

Early-mid Shortpacked was funny. Robin eating a bowl of Cadbury Egg cereal and waking up as a member of congress was funny.

As much as I can laugh at him, the last few weeks have been.... it's not even funny, it's simply sad. One can be funny with Hitler memes and the like, but the impotent rage Tats has when he draws evil Soviet jewish reddit mods persecuting him while he begs for money is simply.... sad. There is such thing as antisemitism as a mental illness? When you are irrationally convinced that your personal failures are caused by the Joos?

Tat is one of only a handful of living humans who could reasonably be described as a literal Nazi. Even Hitler would be like, "bro, would you just chill, it isn't ALWAYS the Jews".

There's some incredibly thin theorizing about relationships based on his self-representation in the comics (2-3 strips have a female figure interacting with Tats' avatar and something that could be a reference to a breakup) but it's all speculation.

So, one could argue that Tats has work ethic when he is working for himself. He has poured his soul in Sinfest, it's just that as a old broken man his soul is a angry antisemitic scream of pain

How do you fuck up being Gen X so badly that you got neither the money nor the woman?

Almost anything Mike did in "It's Walky" before Dina blew up.

Fun fact about Mike, when people were pointing out that Roz, Robin's sister, was raping a black dude by preying on his mental weaknesses, Willis' defense was that unless you had a problem with the strips in which Mike beat up a gay jew, you couldn't say anything about a black dude getting SA'd. And remember that Mike is a white skinned, blonde haired, blue eyed man with super strength. He's a literal Aryan Uber mensch beating up a homosexual, Jewish man... and according to Willis, that was intentional.

I always found that the funniest things about Willis, when he tried to defend himself he'd basically admit to something in a way that made him seem even worse.

wait what gay jew was he beating up?

Willis doesn't realize he's the same over-eager zealot he was a kid, he's just changed the thing he prays to to be CURRENT POLITICS.

Ethan from Shortpacked. He's gay and Jewish, though the jew part doesn't come up because Willis is too lazy to look into what it actually means to be jewish and what they do. Joe the man whore is also a jew but again, Willis never does anything with that. Apparently Dorothy is 'part jewish' as well but that only came up once in Dumbing of Age and then never got brought up again.

And yeah, you're right about the zealotry. When he reuploaded Roomies, he posted a comic he did in high school where Sal was a strawman vegetarian who was lecturing Danny for not reusing the bun on the hotdog he just ate and it reads just like a fucking Shortpacked comic.

I don't remember Mike beating up Ethan in shortpacked but then again most of that got flushed after Willis went full woketard and stopped understanding his own fucking characters midway through.

So this is hilarious. Tat also just updated the news to a begpost that he needs money to save the comic. He's asked for donations before, but I don't think he's EVER pulled the "give me money or I'll end the comic" card. After it stopped being good, Sinfest went from radical second wave feminism, to anti-vax MAGA, to anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, Aryan Neo-Nazi LARP. Who does Tat think is left that he hasn't alienated in the past few years?

What's most funny is that iirc in his begging post, he had Squiggly looking all puppy eyed in it. It's like he's trying to say "GUYS! If you give me money, I PROMISE I'll bring back old Sinfest! PROMISE!"

Not the one I was thinking of but here's the first example. I just looked at the Mike tags to find it.

What always amuses me about the diehard woke people is that they always have a history of loving edgy stuff, or being open Republicans. Like a gay dude who goes super homophobic to avoid being accused of being gay himself. Willis went super hardcore woke to try and make sure everyone knew his Republican days were over... except no one knew he was a Republican because all of his pro-right comics were tame as fuck and were shit that even the left made fun of. He actually apologized for doing a Roomies strip implying that Bill did indeed have sexual relations with that woman.

The fruit of knowledge is good and liberating, akshully? A predictable cliche. The fruit not being eaten by Adam and Eve, but by Literally Hitler™? Genuinely innovative.

If I saw this in a vacuum, I don't think I'd be able to tell which side of Poe's Law it's on, but gun to my head I'd probably guess it was parody. I wish I didn't know better.

EDIT: First comic in the pair didn't upload right for some reason.

This post got a lot of upvotes on r/okbuddyrosalyn, the Calvin and Hobbes shitpost subreddit. There's currently some drama between that sub and the more official sub r/calvinandhobbes, which I can't fully follow but has something to do with trans rights. Notably, r/calvinandhobbes is basically dead already. Due to a legal dispute with gocomics, the sub can no longer host strips, which means that there is no longer any Calvin and Hobbes on r/calvinandhobbes. It's a slapfight between trannies and reddit jannies about nothing.

Anyway, in the midst of all this a tumblr troon named Parawyrm started drawing a series of fancomics with a grown-up tranny Calvin. There have actually been many, many fanworks that imagined Calvin as an adult, and they were invariably received negatively, but redditors really like this one for some reason. I'll let you figure out why.

Was Buckley ever really a bad person though? Maybe I don't remember since I haven't read that comic in 20 years, but I thought most of the criticisms were just that he was kind of lazy and retarded.

Yes. He was a pretty big jerk and let being "the Ctrl+Alt+Del guy" go well to his head. He was extremely abrasive and did lolcow shit like threaten to sue a fan who made a CAD fan comic for a school project. For years he assembled his comics from pre-drawn assets and was vocally proud of how little work he had put into his comic.

At conventions he would be behind the booth playing Xbox until he had a big enough line of people waiting for signatures.

He was part of a convention/gaming get together in Rhode Island called Digital Overload and basically had the organizers do all the work and put his name on it to get all the credit. There was also some bullshit prizes and raffles but I forget the details.

He was also a jerk to the guys at blind ferret, being very hard to work with and ignoring all their advice for scripting for the CAD animated series which caused load of problems as his scripts ran short.

He also very likely traded nudes with an underaged female fan named Jackie, but no actual evidence exists anymore.

And for years he was notoriously petty on the CAD forums. He was well known for banhammering anything other and unadulterated praise for his work.

But around 2014ish, he married his wife, she had his son, and Buckers for all outward appearances completely unfucked himself. He worked on improving himself and his art and whilehe's not Rembrant he's head and shoulders above where he was in 2008.

More Panthera and Hobbes. I suspect we're going to get a block of three strips each week on reddit until the cartoonist loses interest.

Yet another run of the mill troonslop comic that needs to steal already established characters because no one would give two shits if it was all OCs.
