this is old news.  like, last year old.

the drama was that people in the PA forum were using modified versions of his work in their avatars.  he went and had a big dummy spit, then the PA guys basically told him he was being a dick.  i don't know how jeph plays into it all, but like i said, it's all ancient history by now (unless there is something new that i am unaware of)

...and seeing that this is your first post i get the impression that you are here whoring another webcomic in your first post wich is forbidden by the forum rules....
there seems to be a lack of readers over there and ther artist is not happy about not being able to live off the comic, but posting here as a kind of guerilla marketing is definately the wrong way to help that artist...

You have to admit his name is kinda cool. Like he smashed the keyboard in rage then hit enter

Title: Not comic whoring..

I just found his comic about 3 weeks ago, and was trying to figure out what he had done that he got jumped on so hard. Did Gabe and Tycho use his stuff to parody him and thats what he was overreacting to? I cant even figure out when the actual incident happened to see what PA put up. Or was it another thing like the Strawberry Shortcake incident that I found out about on slashdot?

est just said what happened. Not much else. If you wanna get right into it look into the PA news archives. It's not really worth it since it's just Gabe being a bit of an ass and using his fans as a weapon while whiny dude keeps flinging crap at PA claiming they stole _____ this week or whatever.

tada, all done

Man webcomic drama is pretty much the most retarded thing ever.
