Adventures! Drama!
I'm not gonna take the sides already drawn here, but a couple of points that everyone seems to be missing--
The roster for the documentary makes no mention of [Kurtz, Gabe, Tycho,] Abrams, Frazer, Milholland, Rosenberg or Gallagher... or ANYONE on Keenspot. I could see missing some of those names, but ALL of them? That does indicate a certain focus.
Second, our little scene may give PA and PVP all the love we can shower, but this documentary is meant to be seen by many people who have never read webcomics before in their life. Maybe it won't be, but I thought that was the goal. If that's so, I think it is a failure of service not to tell these people about which comics are actually supporting themselves outside the MT model--
--if only to throw the courageous experimenters, who refuse to let mammon slow their explorations, into sharp relief.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Well, okay. A little more.

Yay! More drama!
Do you suppose there will be any hair pulling? Curse you for getting Hyung too damn busy. I can so see maybe getting him to draw some sort of cat fight in jello with kurtz and the pa guys and who all else knows.
That or he'd complain that my ideas are too involved and take too much time again. :(
oh and CROM! http://kungfool.transpect.net/index.php

See, this is exactly the kind of crap that frustrates me about webcomics- the fricking politics. For such a small industry, we have more than our share of annoying politics and rivalries.
It's times like these I'm a little glad my work stayed under the radar- given the attention guys like Kurtz and Tycho & Gabe get every time they say "boo."
