Stringless Disposition

Stringless The idea for this comic came from my involvement with a certain TShirt design website. Every time I posted a design it was shot down by 12 year old google experts as being a rip-off of some drawing that appeared in the 1972 issue of some Japanese magazine about photography. (that's an actual example, no joke) typically all of my work was said to be traced from Jhonen Vasqez's pieces and included a link to a Foamy strip. I would tell them, "I appreciate the compliment but anyone who thinks I've traced a picture of an online strip just because I drew a squirrel, just because the squirrel is grey, and just because they both have a tail, two eyes, and a mouth; is an idiot." They would then proceed to not answer, but instead, create a new "mule" account and proceed to say the same thing again, or get one of their buddies to say it. (sigh) This pretty much would happen every design. I asked if it would help if I posted a video of me drawing it, they said, "no, because that wouldn't prove it was you." At that point I would go to their profile to see their designs. I bet you can guess what was there. Nothing. Nada. They were ALL OF THEM "professional" critics without a single design of their own. They were God's gift to the website, and there was nothing I could say to them to change their minds. You will see this monkey again, I assure you. There will, of course be other monkeys but this monkey will rise from the bumper of Radbit's car and take on other honest, hard-working citizens.

In conclusion, I am drawing all of these comics out of my own heart, mind, and butt. Nothing is traced, copied, or ripped from a wormhole that leads to the future where I am actually from and I came back in time to claim that I am the one who invented this strip, wrote the song Wonderwall, and the Matrix movies. (so yes, I am a bit dorky)

Copycat Your such a copycat i saw that coffee cup in dragon ball episode 47 it was the exact same brand and everything you probably did a cut and paste.

A lack of "Threads" It's funny, because I know exactly what you're talking about. Man, do I love 12-Year-Olds who know exactly what they're talking about, though!
