Didn't you know? Nicholas Cage never sleeps, as such he's immune.

And dead at this point, very very dead.

I rue the day I ever visited formspring. It sure took the fun out of it.

Rue!

This comic is not nearly as fun when read update-by-update. I'm kind of bored.

If I wanted to watch some guy acting like a raging asshole while incessantly repeating what a totally awesome guy he is, I'd be reading LICD.

To be fair they're both temporally displaced what with time being irrelevant across separate universes.
But yeah you're right Nic Cage wouldn't sleep and dream.
He is a vampire.

Well if it makes any of you happy, he did just disable his Formspring just now.

This was one of the last answers which would probably explain why he did it.

Quote:

Y'know, sometimes you could just say "yep, what i do isn't perfect". 'cause it's true. HS is GREAT, I love it. But not perfect. Your storytelling isn't immaculate, everyone isn't dumber than you, and you are not always funny. Especially not on this page.

Well come on now I obviously agree. Unless this particular page is your first ever exposure to stuff I've said, you oughta know that.

I've copped so many times in so many different ways to the imperfection of HS and its function as something basically exploratory. Trying things out, seeing what works and what doesn't and learning from it. And also sticking up for the decisions and process that created it, imperfect though they are.

The problem is all that shit gets buried deep in Formspring and people forget, and it's not archived like a blog so it's hard to find again.

I think your point is one of improved diplomacy more than anything else. As an ambassador for my work, especially in the FS format for whatever reason, I'm pretty off the rails.

Whenever you're dealing with a serious artist, there is a decent chance you are dealing with someone who doesn't always care to be polished in diplomacy. I've heard that Picasso was kind of a dickhead. He probably didn't cut a whole lot of slack to someone who said, hey Pablo you stuck the eye in the wrong place, fuckass. He was a very important artist and had all these BIG IDEAS and the net result of it all was something great. Maybe his personal volatility was part of that package?

At the same time, someone would be perfectly justified, then and now, to say, hey Pablo, that painting looks like shit. I mean, some of his paintings really seriously did look like shit. And he would be equally justified in calling them PLBs for not "getting" it, and he probably did. He probably had his own term for those sons of bitches. He would be justified in doing so because he knew that everything he did, even the shitty stuff, was part of something bigger, even if only in his warped mind.

But that said, and everything said below, maybe this is all getting a bit distracting. That is, talking about myself and my views on my work and my views on the views of others. It is possibly getting JUST A LITTLE tedious, and maybe it's time to reel in the purpose of my Formspring exploits.

I mentioned a lot of stuff was getting buried. Maybe answering 1000+ poorly archived questions is getting into ridiculous territory. Maybe it's time to delete all the questions, clean the slate, and start new with a modified focus.

Whatever imperceptible benefit typing this is having, I'm sure as hell not DRAWING right now, that's for sure.

ps one of his other last answers was confirming slowdown of updates

edit edit here is his new formspring

The answer I was quoting was arguably pretty much the opposite of that but okay I guess?
Good thing it got put in SWAP spoilers so people who don't want to read "Yeah HS is imperfect and FS is getting way too silly time to delete it and start over with something reasonable" don't have to, then.

Archbio · 01-12-2011, 02:42 PM

You forgot the bit about comparing himself to Picasso.

Which is the opposite of the opposite of that.

Art of Hilt · 01-12-2011, 02:59 PM

Only if you want to ignore the purpose behind the comparison sure.
Which wasn't to say "I am as the best as Picasso" but was just to illustrate how he's seeing the experimenting artist/audience interaction using a famous example.
why am i even getting roped into being the dude's ambassador anyway what is this
