[Webcomic] PVP Discussion

[Shegokigo]

It's not insulting, it's an observation. If I had a twitter, I'd have done it in a heartbeat just to hear the "retcon/stutter"

 

[figmentPez]

Kurtz has already gotten at least two tweets about Kevin being dead.

 

[Dave]

And his response?

 

[figmentPez]

He hasn't said anything, but this is classic Kurtz:

Q: I assume that humans being able to understand Scratch has something to do with "The Magic of Christmas"?

A: I wouldn't overthink it.

We're geeks and nerds, that's what we do.

 

[ThatNickGuy]

That's a surprisingly polite response for Kurtz. He must be mellowing.

 

[Hailey Knight]

I see nothing wrong with that response. PVP isn't a serious story comic--it operates on cartoon logic. Some of the better jokes from the last few years have been weird shit where Scott let go of it being grounded, like Francis's "level up" and the move to Seattle.

 

[Dave]

I just would have said, "Many children are named Kevin. And are you saying they all white kids look alike to you?"

 

[Zappit]

Kevin=Kenny. Can we accept that?

 

[Null]

He got better.

 

[Wahad]

He got better.

Makes me want Scratch to turn Kevin into a newt.

 

[figmentPez]

I liked the art on Monday's, but the joke felt like it was working too hard.

 

[Null]

I remember hearing the full version of that joke a long time ago, and it makes the scene a lot creepier. For those who don't know it, the joke goes something like this:

A paedophile and a kid are walking through the woods. The kids says, "Mister, I'm scared, these woods are really creepy!" The paedophile goes, "You're scared? I'm the one who has to walk out of here alone!"

 

[figmentPez]

Someone needs to 'shop the cartoon so that the punchline is actually in the final panel.

 

[Shegokigo]

Monday's = Hilarious
Tuesday's = Failed quote is failed joke.

 

[Hailey Knight]

I'm actually enjoying this arc.

 

[Shegokigo]

He also fixed the missing word out of the previous strip too.

 

[Raemon777]

If that's how the arc ended, I'm actually pretty satisfied.

 

[Joe Johnson]

So, you got a happy ending?

 

[Dave]

Ugh. Anyone read his blog post?

 

[Sparhawk]

I read a little, but kept getting a headache from the overwhelming bs.

Basically, blah, blah, blah, hate syndicate, blah, give us lots of money and I'll say this to your face, blah, blah, no such contract....gave up.

 

[Dave]

Wasn't he only recently trying to get in good with these guys?

 

[LordRendar]

Dont we have this discussion every couple of months, how he rants about the syndicate?
We should expect that and be surprised if he had something good to say for once.

 

[Shegokigo]

Nope, I've learned that one of the keys to enjoying PVP is to ignore the creator 100%

I use the same rule for Dilbert.

 

[Fun Size]

I use the same rule for Dilbert.

I use the same rule for The Bible.

 

[Bones]

OH YOU!

 

[Espy]

I use the same rule for Dilbert.

I use the same rule for the forum!

[Espy]

Oh you, I could never ignore you Dave. You know that you silly goose.

 

[sixpackshaker]

Oh you, I could never ignore you Dave. You know that you silly goose.

You just earned an infraction by goosing the MOD.

[drifter]

While I'm inclined to agree with Scott on this topic (in content, if not in tenor), I lol'd when he said "we have built a well deserved trust with... the audience."

 

[blotsfan]

GoComics.com isn’t promising (nor can it deliver) traffic. That has to be generated by the artist anyway, so why add a middleman?

 

[drifter]

Well, that's total traffic to GoComics, yes? The ad revenue the contest winner would get would be solely from his page on GoComics; unless they actively advertise the contest winner, s/he's just gonna be a backwater page on GoComics's site.

With 600k per day hits, even a well-placed link or ad would have an effect. That site gets about 9x the daily traffic of pvponline.
