I think it's just doing it to try to get readers. It's they way Howard Stern got popular, you say something you know will cause an uproar, the people that are offended watch to see what he'll do next, the people that are laughing watch to see what he'll do next, the people that agree with him watch to see what he'll do next.

It's a very simple technique he's proven to like to use in the past (most recent being the Small press thing)

I dislike him because he treats his fans like crap. If you've ever participated in the forums, you'd see - he dumps on those who seem to be the most loyal to him. I've seen some pretty nasty behavior out of him.

He was rather . . . uncomplimentary towards other artists that didn't share his particular "view" on websites and commercialism.

The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain. - Ursula K. LeGuin ~ The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas

Drysart / Taran was one of those artists in question.

If i can remember correctly, he went on his web radio and flamed Drysart/Taran.

Practicaly everyone else filled in the reasons.

That and he called Calvin and Hobbes artist a hack and calls all web comics worthless because they don't make monies off of it.

He's a sell out to. He made his comic to knee jerk gaming companies and such, now he tries to ass kiss for free products and uses his "oh so famous comic" as a reward for them "Give me this, you can be in my next strip!"

Then there was that whole Spy.com thing. >.<

Bill Waterson is the god of comic strips. He decided not to whore out Calvin and Hobbes to gross over commercialism, because it would be a detriment to his work.

He licensed books with his comics in them and that was it. No Hobbes plush dolls. No snowman construction kits. No t-shirts. Just plain LOVE OF THE CHARACTERS.

Kurtz and I don't see eye to eye on his opinions of online comics. But, I dont have anything personally against him. Calling Mr. Watterson a hack though... **shakes his head**. Do you have a link to whatever rant it was that he criticized Bill Watterson and/or Calvin & Hobbes?

What about all the decals you see of Calvin peeing on something?

I think that it isn't actually Calvin, just a character they made to be really really close, but never actually claiming to be Calvin, thus avoiding any legal issues

Because, really, why would Calvin pee on something? It was obviously made by someone that has never read the comic

Subject: Wow, your comic sucks.

If it even deserves to be called a comic. I mean, honestly, who's gonna laugh at your stupid shit? This isn't about the furry thing; you could mostly call me anti-furry. Your comic was just recently brought to my attention. Your jokes are stupid, your artwork sucks, and you misrepresent the gaming/nerd community. I could write an essay on this, but what'd be the point of me wasting my time on your lame ass?

Maybe some day something cool will happen, like a bus running you over.

Name(s) removed to protect the innocent.

Remember, this e-mail was basically to see how Kurtz would respond. I guess he has an outline since he has to reply to so much hate mail. Either that, or everyone who sends him e-mail is told to stop reading his comic.

(Okay, I have nothing against Blindy aside from his constant failing attempts at waving his cock around, but that was too easy to pass up.)

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.
