Webcomic Wankery
So in the wild, wild world of webcomics, there is the Daily Grind Ironman challenge.
It's a simple little game-- comics artists put in $20, and agree to produce a strip per day M-F. Miss a strip, you're out. Last man standing gets $1000.
Lots of big names-- lots of smaller ones.
And one of the contestants is..
wait for it..
Scott Kurtz.
Kurtz, king of the intensely wanky PVP fandom and not afraid to whip it out himself. He produces Player Versus Player, a cute little webcomic that's usually pretty amusing.
And hasn't missed a day in YEARS.
The splooge hits the rotary blades when another contestant breaks one of the Daily Grind's rules-- " Strips must be a minimum of two panels, however, artists may produce one single panel strip per every 10 strips. "
The fellow in question was just one of many who took this to mean that there had to be a 1:10 ratio of one to multipanel strips. Kurtz and the judges were of the opinion that it meant "nine multipanel strips between one panels." But the judges are convinced to give the erring contestants another chance.
Kurtz is not happy.
It starts off breakneck in the first post and runs on. "I'm almost suspect that this is some pussy way to piss off and weed out all the professionals in this contest so that the rest of you guys can go back to sucking each other's dicks about how awesome you are without fear of losing this contest."
I would post highlights of the wank, but as about one in three of the posts on the thread IS a wank highlight...
Because nothing's wankier than a webcomic's fandom than LOTS of webcomics' fandoms.
