Let's look at the evidence.

This is Buckley's hair circa 2003.

And here is you circa 2004. :P

Anyways, I'm just poking fun at Brian's awesome charisma. If you don't get what joke I'm referencing, it was his "hostile takover" of Ctrl-Alt-Del. Squidi could never get away with that.

But I don't mean to get off topic.... Squidi sucks because he thinks "If you don't like me, you're dumb."

Well boys and girls, what have we learned today?

Well, apparently saying your coming back for the fans is a total fucking copout. How about never running away with your tail between your legs in the first place? Of course, he makes a big deal about his return, BEFORE he actually does anything. All the reasons I can think of are rather negative (ex: Wanted to stir up controversy so his site could get new people, thinks he is sooooo awesome that his return will send shockwaves through the "industry", or simply to try to make his return look gracious instead of actually having the guts to say, "I never should have left."

Oh, and apprently Brian's a frickin' long hair hippy. Fight the power!

After reading the archives, I like this comic. He did not leave in the middle of a storyline. What are you talking about?

The comic just suddenly stopped without any sort of resolution or ending to the story. That's what we're talking about.

yeah, I also agree that his first season comics are good. About his personality, meh.. I agree that he acts like a prick in his blogs, but it doesn't show up in his funny first season comics (which I'm reading after hearing about this thread..) so I really don't care about his personality.

Also, DarkCorn, you're probably still reading the first season of his comics like me. Squidi apparently has made four seasons which the fourth was still in progress when he left.

1st: I'm wondering why webcomic artists have to have long brown hair. 'Tis freaky. Kinda.

2nd: After researching Squidi some, I personally think he's a prick, asshole, and what not.

But he makes a good comic. Defininatly above average, maybe not as awesome as 8BT (the sudden change in gears is probably to blame, as well as it just not having Brian's sheer wit).

I wouldn't say it's strictly mandatory, or anything.

Huh. I always thought the other way around. I guess I stand corrected. I've always separated "asshole" from "Talent." It makes things much easier, especially if all their talent is shit.

Oh hahah! *slaps hand to knee* The funniness!

Okay, I don't know what the fuck I was on when I wrote that. Jerry, I mean. Jeeze. I thought I didn't do drugs...

There is no helping him. I'm not going to waste my time going into detail, but trust me on this. Any help you try to give him he will throw back in your face. The guy needs some serious therapy and big pills. Giving him any attention is only justifying his self-destructive behavior.

I won't disagree with that. But that falls back to more of my whole "Talent and the person are two different things." I'll write him e-mails telling him about logical fallacies in his blogs, errors he makes, and telling him that he's a moron all I want, and I know it won't do any good. More than likely, he'll delete it on account of us "being idiots" because, well, because he's Squidi. Criticism of his work that isn't out of his mouth is just flames, and that's that.

Quote:

When I'm suckered into reading something of his, I can't stop thinking, "Someone who actually is as smart as he thinks he is wouldn't need to keep telling you how smart he thinks he is."

My thoughts exactly. If he's funny, though, I'll throw all that shit out the window.

Yeah, I'm starting to get the feeling that I'm the only one in the 'room' that doesn't.

Yes, but they're weird in the first place, they're excused.

Ah, it's not like Kurtz has long hair either... I hope. ... ..

Does he?

Dude, you're about to wish you had never asked about Scott Kurtz.

Look into the abyss, and know true terror.
