Someone is a dick to Rob Liefeld, fapping ensues
I picked this one up off of twitter, but for once it wasn't
cleolinda's. It was RK Milholland's
So, Rob Liefeld. Not the most likeable guy in the world, for sure. Old, familiar face around here, definitely. For once, he's not the wanker here. In fact, his only role in the wank is to be present.
Some enterprising comic fan at WizardWorld decided to present him with a self-signed copy of "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way" and posted the adventure online. Basically he acted like an asshole to Liefeld and felt very self-righteous about doing so. Whether you think the fan is an entitled twat or that Liefeld deserved it (or both, both is also acceptable), the fun really starts in the comments.
The gentleman in question has his share of supporters, certainly, but there's also dissent. Quite a bit of dissent, really. The supporters aren't always particularly clever, either.
Really, as with all good wanks, there is no right side. A man was a dick to another man who is also a dick, and it got put on the internet. Needless to say, once a critical mass of dicks has been reached, fapping ensues. Enjoy, kids.
Edited for egregious typos.
ETA: Um, this is awkward. The site has unexpectedly gone down and I don't have caps because I'm at work. So...yeah. Hopefully it'll come back once the rush from twitter dies down? OH RIGHT GOOGLE CACHE. Thanks tetradecimal
