A few addendums to my prior Dear GAF thread, detailing another aspect of fanboyism.

I. Comics.

-A. When going into a comics thread, ask yourself this--did you dislike this comic strip in the past? Have you insulted it regularly beforehand? If so, is it worth it replying again to re-state your opinion on the issue?

-B. Calvin and Hobbes and The Far Side are the greatest comic strips ever, we know. Jesus christ.

-C. Perry Bible Fellowship is odd, it's off-kilter, but it's not so good as to make everything else look pedestrian. Seriously. When you can't enjoy a comic strip because you've been spoiled by a bored art student's musings--that's when you've got to rethink things.

--1. In accordance with C, don't start firing up PBF's in unrelated threads. It's a stupid circle-jerk, and even the best ones are wearing really fucking thin.

-D. VGCats is sometimes amusing. That doesn't mean you have to post it here, because you know the same gang of idiots is going to cry over it.


II. Cartoons

-A. Disney vs. anime! Such a big competition! Quality vs. quantity! Shut the fuck up.

--1. Disney ripped off anime! Well, here's news, buster. Disney also ripped off classic fairy tales! Then anime did the same thing later! So anime ripped off Disney? I THINK? Refer back to IIA

-B. Megas XLR is one of the best cartoons in the world, just thought I'd toss that in.

F. Matlock is a forum celebrity only in his own mind.

 

[Matlock]

? I've never claimed to be a forum celebrity, nor have I ever thought I was one.

Megas XLR does indeed rock and I don't know why more people don't watch it.

Also, if anything, Disney and anime share more in common then you'd think. Osamu Tezuka was influenced by Western animation. He created Astro Boy amongst other things, becoming a vanguard for what would eventually be the standard style associated with manga/anime in the ensuing years.

I don't really get it when people make fun of anime characters for, say, having big eyes, when that's a trend that AMERICAN animation started and continues to this very day. Yes, over time, the context for big eyes has become different. Its often applied to more human forms in anime, which does make them look a tad stranger when compared to your average anthropomorphic warner brothers or disney character where realistic proportions have little to no meaning.

Yeah, Matlock you stink. All that ranting in IRC can only go on for so long!

 

[Litigation Manuel]

Yeah, why don't you go fall on a knife, asshole!

Spoiler

I don't really hate you, I just want to fit in.

There are maybe 3 people on this forum who could pull off a thread like this without everyone thinking they're a pompous douchebag.

And neither of us are one of them

OH my gosh Cathy is finally getting married!

 

[Drinky Crow]

VG Cats is miserable, Matlock sucks, and Perry Bible Fellowship is the second funniest webcomic after leisuretown. You can NEVER have too much PBF. Period.

As I have spoken, so shall it be graven.

 

[Dead]

What a horrible horrible topic

 

[Hero]

Arrogant much?

Oh, and I can't recall the last hand-drawn animated Disney movie that was good.

PBF rocks, don't hate.

 

[Willco]

X. Fuck you, Matlock. Fuck you.
Y. Federman will give free beer to forum peons!

 

[DDayton]

Oh, and I can't recall the last hand-drawn animated Disney movie that was good.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Prior to that, we had Beauty and the Beast.

 

[Matlock]

I blame the writers for the failure of Disney films lately.

PBF rocks, don't hate.

It's good, but not every comic thread good.

 

[Manabanana]

Disney owns the rights to several Miyazaki films. Does that means Disney IS anime? :O

 

[Ecrofirt]

what's the PBF archive site?

:lol

[Memles]

Lilo and Stitch was most definitely, at least, "good". Then, there was Emperor's New Groove.

If you had said "great" I may have added an IMO, but if you only say "good" then I think both of those qualify.

 

[Mike Works]

What a fucking stupid thread. When we make you a mod, we'll give you a call Matlock.

 

[Acrylamid]

From now on, every post in this thread must contain 2 PBF strips.

What about one new PBF?

 

[Ecrofirt]

the new one KICKS ASS!

 

[Matlock]

That's not really all that funny, but I dig the coloring style muchly.

You suck. You know that, right? I mean, really suck.
