From one cranky old guy to another: I like your attitude.
Guido Sarducci:
I have always thought people who leveled accusations of "selling out" were basically angry because the artist wasn't "selling out" to them. If the artist were producing work the complainant liked, the complainant would have nothing to complain about, and would be causing other people to complain that the artist is..."selling out."
It seems somewhat sophomoric to come onto an artist's website, and complain that you don't like the work and infer he should change it to suit your tastes. If you want work that isn't what he produces, why are you bothering to continue reading it? Or are you making the assumption that when you insult him that he will respond by slavishly throwig away his own moral compass and following yours instead?
And more importantly to me, why are you wasting my time posting on this site that Jeph is a sellout instead of starting your own damn forum and complaining there that you sold out. It would be more sensible after all. You could sit there at you desk and draw the art, post it, and save all the middlemen and confusion by immediately complaining about how the work is shite and you've sold out. Because the minute you start offering up your work for someone else to look at, judge, and enjoy (or not) you have begun the process of selling your soul for money. Just like every other artist who has ever lived. And if you want to actually earn a living at it, you might as well slit your own throat because of course, you can't survive and not pander to the people you want to sell your art to.
And meanwhile we (those of us who actually like his work) can all stay here and enjoy the....cartoon. It is a cartoon, you realize, right? We're not speaking of Van Gogh or Renoir. Jeph may one day be looked back at as one of the greatest artists of his generation. But you can bet if he does get there, it won't be by listening to [eople accusing him of selling out.
*sits back and waits for everyone to cry*

Wait, I thought you didn't read the discussion forums anymore?

sigh

Remember that Sven told Faye he doesn't consider them exclusive or anything...and it didn't seem like he was really expecting it anyway.
What happened is (by my understanding) in-character and expected in a "holy crap there's nekkie people on QC today" way.
