Cyberbullying? Is that what we're calling this now? If drawing a caricature - and not even a particularly (or even really "at all") cruel one at that - is cyberbullying then I guess we'd better shut down the Internet because it's populated entirely by monsters.

--- Quote from: awkwardness on 31 Dec 2020, 22:14 ---I never realized how much I had forgotten that Jeph can be a jerk when it comes to being a music critic: we get it, you don't like Billie. Just because you liked obscure bands that you heard because you live off of the money made from subscribers doesn't mean you are right about music!
And your dick fetish is out of hand...it was funny once, but not in every one of the strips. Even intentionally bad, it's annoying.

Here's a link to a couple tweets of Jeph's where he actually talks about what he thinks of Billie Eilish, as opposed to the comics that you're drawing these ideas from:

So either he thought that it'd be fun to cyberbully a teenager because he ignorantly jumped on the bashing bandwagon or he drew them because he was bored. Either way is horrible.

Wow. Why are you so insistent that these comics are anti-Billie Eilish? I thought from the start that he was including her because he liked her. I didn't really understand why other people were getting the idea that this was a negative commentary on her, but whatever, harmless enough. But now it's cyberbullying?
Oenone:
I’m glad he likes her!
I was under the impression the comics were to make fun of her since generally when you have a character whose one line is announcing who they are, and they’re consistently doing it in inappropriate settings, like surgery, you’re making a joke about them being attention hogs or overly self promoting.
Also, out of curiosity, can someone on the Patreon say whether these were written before or after the tweet?
Red_Scare:
I think he just found the concept of gremlin Billie Eilish saying "I'm Billie Eilish" funny. I know I do.
Some of y'all just read too far into things.
Dandi Andi:
Same day. From the patreon post:
--- Quote from: Jeph ---Last weekend I was inspired by Anthony Clark's 200 Bad Comics Challenge and decided to do some bad comics of my own. Here are 25 of them. I might do more at some point. Billie Eilish is cool. Well bye
--- End quote ---
But it doesn't matter because there is nothing malicious or antagonistic in these comics. He included her as a running gag because she was on his mind after listening to her music. He didn't tease or mock or insult her. She is simply present. Anything else is reading into the text that which is not there.
