[orange is cracking a joke at a crowd of diverse people who do not seem receptive at all]
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if you lost all your rights?
Hypothetically, as a thought experiment

[orange is shaking with laughter, the crowd is looking pissed]
Chill buddies, it’s just satire
I was joking haha you fell for my bait
Epic humor moment 100

    I don’t want to sound like a dick as not every artist here need to be told about that.

    But have you thought about making your webcomic ad/watermark free?

    I am asking because I like your comics, but I hate watermarked comics. Watermarks assume the reader is guilty by default and that they won’t mention the source.

    Anyway, I hope you consider it.

      Fuck off. No one, and I mean no one here or likely anywhere agrees with your anti artist stance. Go. Please.

        Fuck off.

        Go. Please.

        Choose one and drop the other first.

      You do sound like a dick whether you mean it or not.

      Use a search engine and look up what a watermark is. It’s text that’s spread all over the image, making it impossible to use/share without removing it, thus making the removal of attribution impossible. I add a signature to my comics, not a watermark. It’s small and, as you just proved by doing it, very easy to remove if you think a discreet attribution is the same as an advertisement.

      The goal of signing the comic is not to make anyone “feel guilty” if they remove the signature (it happens often anyway so many people clearly don’t care), it’s to allow people who see this comic and want to see more by the same artist to visit the website where they can find more. On the website, there are no ads, no products being sold, it’s purely there to share content with others who are looking for it.

      Piss off and go bother people who care about your shitty trolling attempts instead, I’m not falling for your low tier bait (if you’re not trolling then you’re just being a gigantic asshole on purpose and that’s not any better).

        OK… That was an overreaction, but alright. I just wanted to suggest it to you because I follow your website.

          Nah fuck off don’t pretend to be nice, you know very well what you’re doing and why it makes you an asshole.

          You wouldn’t even know there’s a website to follow in the first place if I didn’t sign my work.

          I might have the most subtle and easy to remove signature of everyone who shares content here, yet you still find a way to complain. Your crusade is childish and you deserve to be piled on by everyone who can’t wait for mods to come back and shut you up for good.

            Acting decently is a normal thing to do, I am talking like a normal human talking to human, while you are acting hysterically.

            I found you originally via Google BTW.

            Anyway, do what you like. Who am I to tell you what to do. As I said I thought you were a decent person and I follow your webcomic, so that is why I suggested this.

            ☮️Peace.

              How dare these people I’m stealing from not respond to my suggestion to give up all of their stuff in a civilized tone!

                What are you talking about?

                This is not even close to what you are describing.

      The signatures on comics are there so that the reader of a random repost can find the origin of the comic, you idiot.
