I stopped reading it a while back, quite a bit after it stopped being funny(albeit, after the first 50). Now the comic is just long-winded story arcs. Most of his comics are copied and pasted together(see the top gif for an idea), and he overexplains his "jokes". It's not just the comic, but Tim Buckley is a jerk with an over-inflated ego. Then you have his evil minions fan-following that kiss his arse regardless. Comics like Zachs are like 100x funnier, but the most well know webcomic on the web happens to be this for some reason...Following being a couple of examples...
The aforementioned letter:
"Fine, than go be bitter elsewhere that someone ten years younger than you is doing it bigger and better than you ever did, or ever will.
I don't know why you felt the need to come to my forums to try and cause shit. I didn't think people like you and that Straub punk could survive without your lips surgically grafted to Kurtz's cock.
In a single hour I get more email than you get in a week, so if you want to bitch and moan about me somewhere else, by all means, knock yourself out. But the instant you think you're going to come to my forums and tell me I'm lying, you'd better believe I'm going to ban your sorry ass.
Happy Webcomic Appreciation Day. I know you little webcomics love the attention.
-Tim"
He threatened to sue a kid for creating a couple of fan films for classThe following is from here"So now we come to the big part. He's a hack, a plagiarist, a bastard, and if some of his former forum members are to be believed? He showed (pictures of) his dick to a 14 year old girl. And when I say "former", I mean that because when this originally came up, he not only banned everyone who said it, he banned everyone who posted in threads about it (even his defenders), who ever made mention of having SEEN it, whether they believed it or not, he closed an entire chunk of forum completely over it... and not once did he ever say "No, I didn't show my penis to jailbait". This is the last known spot you can see the tale at, and while I will point out I cannot confirm this at all, I really, really wonder, to this day, why the hell he went to the extent he did instead of just saying "Fuck you I didn't do it" and banning the first person"
"Oh, you want proof of the trend? Well then, let's play another game. See how many references can be made to "the Rapscallions" on Tim's site. It's the guild he led in World of Warcraft, which, like a lot of other MMOs, he played briefly for all the fan sycophantry and then left. Unlike most smaller MMOs where he did this, though, the guild kept on when he vanished, with competent leaders still on board.
You won't find the Rapscallions (or the Raps, as I sometimes heard them called) mentioned much, aside from their creation (funnier because it was a giant "me too", trying to get in on the friendly feud PvP and Penny Arcade started. Nice piggyback). On Saturday, December 17th, 2005, a little over four months after their inception, Buckley logged in, possibly drunk, and begin to kick people from the guild, complaining about "[his] guild" and "[his] forums", before disbanding the group and taking down their board, hosted on his site. (Ironically, Scott Kurtz, who I'll probably have to get to in time for some of his own shenanigans, albeit nothing on Buckley's scale, would end up giving the Raps a forum again (look for "Hurricane Buckley") on his site for a time, just so they didn't all lose touch while deciding whether to reform or not.)"
There are more things, and lots of people complain about him on the nets, there are even webcomics there just to spite him:
Ctrl V DerivativesThis one is greatAnd no, I probably couldnt make a better webcomic myself, but I dont try :3
