OMFG, it's killing me. What does CAD stand for?
The main problem here is that CAD is a storyline based comic that occasionally has a few one-off panels. It's not consistently funny but has it's moments. I think it's still pretty entertaining at any rate.
C&H is generally just one-off gags that are funny, but that's easier to do because there is no storyline to maintain.
However, this C&H strip is pretty low and I think highly offensive. Tim followed a storyline as he is perfectly entitled to do, and also had the stones to explain to his audience exactly why he's pursued this line and share a personal experience. Maybe it was poor judgement, but if I, or anyone else for that matter, were to start a thread on this site to share their feelings after a similar devastating personal event (and I don't mean the love of my life dumped me after 4 weeks of happiness, ps i'm 15 type of shizz), no-one would be so fucktastic to take the piss or spam or be a complete cock in response.

IRL the main one is Computer Aided Design.
You honestly believe that, don't you? I love how you imply that C&H is making fun of Tim's personal problems, by comparing it to someone personally telling people they know about that same problem. Here's the shocker, buddy: C&H is taking a shot at CAD, not someone's personal problems.Buckles wrote:

Secondly, C&H isn't making fun of CAD - the comic. It's directly quoting Tim's personal statement he made on his blog on the site, explaining his storyline. I can guarantee that anyone who thinks this C&H strip is funny hasn't yet joined the adult world fully.

TBH, that's quite a high density of fucking idiocy in one post. So if someone finds that funny, they're not mature. Shut up. Different people think different things are funny, and there is an audience who find that funny.Buckles wrote:

In the context of them taking the piss of the fact that he includes his personal life in a "funny" cartoon, I do find it amusing, it's just a bit off putting that it includes misscarriages, and could be taken the wrong way.
IMO, it takes someone who hasn't joined the adult world yet to realise that they are not taking the piss out of misscarriages.

I'm starting to think this is more a simple difference of opinion than anything. I believe that if Tim was so happy to use his fame to get attention from anonymous people for his problems through a badly made webcomic that people already mock, he shouldn't whine if people take his own approach to convey a different message. I did not think the C&H comic was funny. I think it was a cheap shot, but nonetheless to the point.
But it's not though, it's making a dig at the way Tim brings his personal life into his comics even when by doing so he makes the comic sad and not funny. C&H being the most un-serious people in the whole fucking internets are attacking him for making such a serious comic and his rationale (The text bubble of the character in the final pane was an actual statement by Buckley for why he is doing this) for doing so.Vilham wrote:

Oh, then wtf was the penny-arcade guy in that one comic? Am I missing something?
I really, really don't like CAD. I don't like webcomics in general. Most of them suck. C+H is powered by comics like the one posted here. Ones that just get absurd at the end. The irreverence of C+H works for it sometimes... but it gets tiring, because it's also highly irrelevant. Whereas, South Park also gets by with their irreverence, but it works week after week because it's the smartest, most on-point show on television.
But I agree that C+H crossed a line by making fun of CAD's strip. That's low. And to rip the words from Tim Buckley's mouth... that's just lame.
Can't we all just read Penny Arcade instead?

To be honest, Tim Buckley isn't just a massively self-centered rotten cunt, but he's also a certified paedophile, so I don't really have any objections to any fun made of him. The man is incapable of empathy himself, so why afford him any?

Serious business much? I have a feeling some in here are taking this shit more seriously than the authors of the cartoons themselves. Your personal lives have not been affected by this, so why the need to bitch at people because they have a different opinion than you and you just can't stand that? (edit: or, as the case seems to be, you have a personal e-grudge against them.) I think the authors of the two strips should be capable of handling it themselves, without the unwanted input of a bunch of bored teenage boys not old enough to engage in that activity that will, 9 months later, result in a birth or as the case may be miscarriage. (Yes, me included.)

At the end of the day, the strip is purely in bad taste. That is my opinion.
The comment I made about those finding the strip funny being "not yet adult" is true, so far as I know. The only people who have supported or endorsed it here are teenagers, or if any posters who found it funny ARE adults, I've always taken them to be teenagers whenever I've seen them post elsewhere.
The people who have spoken out because this comic is insulting and not-funny (i.e. myself, Don, djphetal and vilham) are 20 or over.

Oh. Now I get it, i had no idea what you guys were talking about before. Anyway, that is pretty low on C&H, but Buckley should have never made it into a comic in the first place...DoctaStrangelove wrote:
CAD writer Tim Buckley's girlfriend had a miscarriage and he made a comic about it. C&H are already not big fans of Buckley and they feel that he shouldn't make overly serious and depressing comics about is personal life when his comics are intended to be funny. They felt that Buckley's comic was essentially saying "plz feel bad 4 me and my girlfriend", so they made fun of it.DesertFox- wrote:
I don't get either of them.
It is an attack on Buckley's comic (and the excessively wordy style that many of his comics have), not making fun of him for what happened that spurred him to make the comic. While I do think it is in a bit bad taste I also don't think Buckley should have made the comic in the first place and also you guys should know that by the sheer fact that he posted in on the internet he set himself up for being made fun of for it.
Well he was asking for it
On a somewhat related note...If /b/ has taught me one thing, its don't put your personal shit on the internet, its like a drop of blood in shark infested water.

Btw, /move to D&ST?
So, in response to us pointing out that you can't prove someone wrong based on age, you make the same post again and tell us we're wrong anyway. To top it off, you then have the nerve to not only define an entire group of people as being wrong, you also claim that everyone else who you think is wrong actually belongs to that group. You're a child? well, you're wrong. You're an adult and you disagree? You're actually a child. That's some A+ reasoning there, Buckles.Buckles wrote:

It was in bad taste, but I suppose that's the cruelty of the Internet for you. But really, not toooooo much sympathy coming from me (about the parody, not the actualy miscarriage).
Regardless, it's no one's webcomic but his so none of you should be saying that webcomics are supposed to be funny or something. Sorry, but I'm sure the creator of any webcomic can choose to put whatever he/she wants, not what anyone else thinks should be on. Like the C&H parody of CAD; I'm not fond of it, but I wouldn't go tell whoever drew it to take it off or not do that stuff again. If someone chooses to put something up, and others dislike it because it isn't what they thought it was or should have been... well boo hoo. Likewise, if someone puts something up, and it gets manipulated, spoofed, etc etc... well again... Boo hoo.

I never said all the teenagers posting are "wrong", just that all that find it funny are teenagers. There IS a difference. Just because all x are y doesn't mean all y are x. You also misconstrued second statement there. Try reading that a second time too.
Matter of interest, how old are you Lucien? And out of curiosity, could any other people who have posted and read this put up their ages. Then we can sort this out without having to twist people's statements to suit ourselves.
