ROFL, after the debate that took place in the last comics comments I thought I might check out today's comic and see if after one week Scott upheld his promise....NOPE....rofl.

For those of you who have no clue what I am talking about here ya go...http://www.pvponline.com/2009/01/05/ding-call-for-your-wow-stories/ anyway its good to see that people don't change.

Except that it takes 3-5 seconds after a page is loaded for impressions to be made. If you check the site the first thing your drawn to is the strip. It takes less then about 1-2 seconds for someone to realize its the same strip as always and the reader is off clicking away from the page. The majority of high traffic sites such as these go with pay per view since the traffic is higher. Which I will agree is an assumption, but an educated one at that. Just because you can be late doesn't mean you should. It shows the readers you don't give a shit, it demonstrates a lazy business attitude, and is generally frowned upon in a real job. This is the point I am making, and the one all these people who just say its free QQ ROFLMAO KILL YURSELF HAHA LOSER NUBS!! can't seem to grasp.As far as shitting on Scott this comic has his name on it. We are free to discuss it as we see fit. If Scott doesn't want to get his feelings hurt reading these, then he can close this like he did his forums which another poster here mentioned. I admire the old Scott, I have an e-mail from him dated back to 2004. It was something that motivated me to do something I loved since childhood. Its just disappointing to see a pioneer in this field become a bane of its existence. I was a fan, I used to participate in the forums, paid for the animated series, & owned merchandise. All of which I no longer do or buy. For the single point I have made in almost every post I made here.

...mechanics. So as we can all see your ability to use real world correlations to the topic at hand is astounding, and you have shown us all the error of our ways. Except that none of them applied to the subject matter, but hey this is the internet right, who needs to use examples that are correct. The fact is that Scott is a pioneer in the web comic industry. No one can take that from him. He did it before it was popular. He has made a tremendous business out of it and that took guts and hard work. Now he doesn't give a shit, cuts back the work and can't keep promises he makes, frankly cause he doesn't have to, and that's the point we all are making. Just because you don't have to any more doesn't mean you shouldn't. He has plenty of readers like the ones posting below me here that will defend to the end. In terms of business ethics, he has just become lazy. His comic is black and white which uses many copy and paste moments. The story lines are very uneventful, unoriginal, and scripted like a bad movie. There are plenty of other artists out there producing far more, far better, and far more consistent.

Nice work ignoring the fact that in the professional market anyone who has missed a deadline by a month, or who has continually made promises to upkeep a certain schedule and fail time and time over again, while reducing the amount of actual work they put out would get black listed and quick. The only reason this comic and pvp are able to pull this off is the readership that was built from the beginning. I don't know what business market your in, but if your deadlines are not met constantly and your suppliers are a month late on product delivery I highly doubt your business would deal with them anymore. Unless your full of shit and just want to crawl up the ass of the "artist" more. You are correct in the fact that this site is free to visit for general population, but it sure as shit isn't free to all these advertisers here. With people checking the site just to see if its updated creates bullshit impressions for those advertisers. The site isn't staying up to date and is costing advertisers money. Like I said before, anyone who was to break into the character design, cartooning, illustration, or web design industry sure as shit couldn't pull this crap or they would never see a paying job again. But I am sure you will come back with some witty retort about how I have no clue "how the real business world works." At this point the comments are the only reason I stop by here, and only came across this because a friend who reads Kurtz stuff mentioned how people were starting to complain.As for you movie push back dates, guess what, advertising dollars are either refunded or credited to relate current content at the time of release. Software release dates don't bank on advertisers to supply money for them, and will lose customer base if consistently released late after public announcement dates. Business projects getting canceled actually cost the BUSINESS money, and mechanics having back ordered products to many times will result in people going to another mechan

If anyone thinks that just because the comic is FREE means that professionalism goes out the window is completely wrong. This is their living, this their job. But they do not treat it as such. Just because you can be lazy doesn't mean you should. I am sorry but the only reason someone like Kurtz is able to pull this off is because of the amount of readers he built up prior. I have been a PvP fan for a long time. I remember way back when Scott saying how he made a promise to not miss a strip. Now we are on 5 days from 7 and comics go up late all the time. Ding is a Bi-weekly comic that hasn't been updated in almost a month. Not one aspiring artist could pull this crap and get away with it. His work ethic is garbage, and he has to be grateful for people who think its ok to have a horrible professional attitude. I am glad there are people out there that are so far up popular artists butts that no matter what they do we should all be grateful. I don't take that stance, and would love to see artists act professional, and deliver what they say when they say they will. In all honesty that is only asking for the the bare minimum, which apparently is to much. And as for the work that actually gets done, like I stated before, there are many many other artists doing more, more consistently while keeping their work ethic in tact. Not trying to start an argument, was just voicing my opinion.

Yeah i have to be honest. I have heard the whole I am going to update this or that this amount of times. I am committed blah blah blah. At this point its very similar to a fat person going on a diet over and over. Sounds good when you hear it, however results may vary. Its frustrating to see someone with this amount of readers putting forth so little for those readers. When so many other aspiring people put out so much more and far more consistent. Apparently fame = laziness in this case.
