Cute strip.
Funny enough, I had been forgetting about halforums for awhile, and upon seeing the second comic, I expected there'd be some sort of thread here to 'talk' about it. Glad to see that some things never change.

And the finale where he already happens to have a poster deal lined up. Just cause of all the hubub in the past 4 hours.

That's one of the nice things about posting your stuff up on a popular web site... instant feedback.
(# of people interested)*(cost to make product + overhead)*(sale price) = Profit.

Isn't it a print on demand service? I don't think he has to worry about any of that. If only 50 people want a print of it why not offer it.

Because this is America, and he is Kurtz, and wouldn't offer prints unless he could make a profit off of it. Granted, the way these work, he might be making a profit off of it even if he just sold it to one customer, but printing places often offer discounts on mass-produced shit, so there would be more profit to be had if more people were interested in it.
Exactly. I don't see the point in getting upset over him selling something people want.
Personally I kinda liked it. It doesn't seem print worthy to me, but apparently others thought it was.

For the record, I'm not bashing him trying to sell this stuff... merely just pointing out the business model and the fact that, as one who makes his living on the internet, such quick money-making decisions are only possible for people like him because he's on the internet.
I WOULD have said he was a pompous ass to sell these off so quickly, had he not said that his inspiration for doing so was because his audience asked for it... which brings me back to the "instant feedback" comment.

I don't mind him making a buck or selling his work, I am mocking the "business deal" from midnight to 4am eastern aspect.

Honestly, I'm just over the whole "mocking Kurtz" thing in general. Too many people go out of their way to find the slightest thing to complain about.

That's the most I've enjoyed PVP in a while.
If I had money I might think about getting a print.

Can someone explain what the joke in the last comic was? I know that Socrates' execution was administered by having him consume hemlock, but what's the joke concerning it?
I think the joke is that everyone that walked up to the scene was shocked, except for the artsy guy. He immediately thought of this picture (I guess).
And, thought it was performance art.
