To Scott's credit, Wizard has always been complete shit, a veritable cumbucket of a magazine that was in large part responsible for the absolute colon cleanse the comics industry took in the mid-90's. Their constant hyping of the latest greatest foil-covered hyper-editions by dynamic but overrated artists like Rob Liefeld and Todd McFarlane, their inflated speculator-focused pricing on back issues just old enough to be considered back issues and their rock-star leghumping of speculator markets like the action figure market all served to expand and eventually pop the comics bubble in that decade, a rupture the entire industry has not recovered from to this day.
Fuck Wizard in their tiny little earholes.

Yeah, I have no objection to anybody, including Kurtz, unleashing rhetorical buckets of shit all over Wizard. Kurtz picks some dumb fights now and again, and his ego is very easily offended, but go go gadget on this one.

Cause Scott's ego is large enough to have its own gravitational field? |

Nerd rages about a company extending an invite to him because said company excluded Tom Bombabil/let Warren kill Tara/nerfed warlocks? Yawn.

All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu. This is the truth! This is my belief! At least for now...

Fuck, Jim Davis established Garfield on this very premise. He was NEVER an artist, he was a Marketer who read something about the popularity of cats and said "Hey, what if I make a comic about a cat who hates mondays. People would eat that shit up and I could make a mint on the merchandising." He's unabashedly admitted this, and proven himself right.
This is true. And it's doubly awesome because every now and again, Jim Davis will do something totally surreal with Garfield, like Garfield's 9 Lives and the creepy halloween strips. http://www.boingboing.net/2006/08/05/death-of-garfield.htmlIt's great because he just kind of stumbles into aweseome, and doesn't try to turn Garfield into something it's not. |

Ah, I'd forgotten about the 9 lives cartoon/comic. I loved the cartoon as a kid, but it was actually surprisingly dark for a Garfield cartoon. The one with Siamese cat made my mother cry every time she saw it...

Pageviews. Scott knows nothing if not self-promotion and how to generate page hits. |
