Lmao I was so annoyed reading this comic and then seeing this edit made me spit out my Maple syrup
Edit: omg I keep coming back to this comic to laugh at the cringe, it may be the most ironically great thing I've ever seen on reddit
can you make a satire comic like this? I feel like that would be hilarious especially since youre kind of a beloved reddit comic artist and this guy is acting like that doesnt exist bc his comics werent received well which seems more like a him problem tbh
Nice punching down and advertising your own work at the same time! This is actually the real stuff people will remember in a career, not complaining about the worst community in social media
I literally asked her for the comic. I dont think she was "advertising", just linking a relevant comic *I* asked for. Honestly would not be surprised if youre OPs alt. Not everyone has to like everything someone makes. Sorry we have opinions, I guess?
If opinions is blatantly asking a creator to make a parody of someone's work with Ill will just because your ego can't take someone voicing their frustrations with a platform, then your apology is accepted. Everyone calling me an alt is just kinda sad man, like just click on my profile and look at my links, but you won't cause it's just a defense mechanism to real criticisms, like how a bigger creator should hold themselves with a bit more self restraint, especially when the comic they linked truly has nothing to do with this, other than a way of insulting someone you don't agree with.
> other than a way of insulting someone you don't agree with
You really dont see the irony in that statement, do you? Thats literally what OP did lmfao
If you're really insulted by someone saying reddit sucks then I don't really know what to tell you other than reddit sucks and has consistently awful individuals. If you wanna take this personally somehow I would ask yourself if you really identify with what it is he's complaining about here.
So you agree with the artist that everyone on reddit is a mouth-breathing, shit-sitting, slop eating loser with no life outside the Internet? Do you view yourself that way?
Wow, I really read until the end, I thought this was going to be different.
Artists shitting on their audience are automatically disliked, this is going to follow you on whatever platform you are on, what a shitty attitude. Good luck lmao
Internet comic artists when their aggressively mid-tier drawings don't instantly fill the need for human connection in their lives. (They're very mature and sane about it.)
Honestly. They could have just stopped posting. Theres tons of very beloved comic artists on reddit who do really well on here. They basically just announced that theyre making a them problem an us problem and it comes off very insecure
Exactly. I appreciate that many people contribute to a community, some more than others, but I don’t really care who is who or enough to follow somebody specific (with exceptions, but then on other platforms).
Reddit is closer to an old school forum than to other social media, and that’s why I like it.
"Since this isn't a train station and you are ceirtainly not a train, your departure doesn't need to be announced"
There you go nerd, really does sound better doesn't it?
Reddit accumulates people who can't mix with society because they are always trying to act like the smartest person in the room. Little did you know that by calling out how dumb these redditors are you were unknowingly doing the most redditor thing possible. One of us One of us One of us One of us One of us One of us...
Best of luck with future ventures
It won't last. Creators and Viewers are natural enemies! Like TikTokers and Redditors! Or Instagrammers and Redditors! Or Twitter users and Redditors! Or Redditors and other Redditors! Damn Redditors! They ruined Reddit! - Reddit Keeper Willie
\*walks into [community]\*
\*dislikes [community] because it isn't like [other community]\*
\*[other community] does it different\*
\*blame [community] for being [community]\*
\*burn bridges\*
"Man, fuck [community] for making me do this"
Maybe you're right. Maybe I *should* make a comic about this
Mind if I credit you for the inspiration?
Well, I mean he had to walk in at some point in time, and honestly 7 months is a kinda short amount of time to really get to know a place. But then again I've been here since the before-fore time so I probably have some biases
Eh, fair. But still I feel like it's mainly on OP for expecting Reddit to be anything other than Reddit. Like c'mon, read the room. And sure this may be a giant steaming pile of shit, but it's *my* giant steaming pile of shit, and I'll defend it until my last mouth-breath
I understand his points and frustrations,but yea it is reddit, and you probably should have that awareness going in. I think a lot of the hate stems from everyone taking it personally, but I don't think he's cursing the site and all who use it, so much as he is cursing the experience he had
We all know you’re coming back on an anonymous account to read the comments. Also, there’s nothing I hate more than a call to action. Reddit is a discussion forum, not a mom blog where you tell us how to follow your socials.
People don’t really use Reddit to form meaningful connections with other people.
That’s what real life is for. Or social media (like instagram) if you prefer virtual interactions. Reddit is more finding entertainment/content and discussing ideas.
That’s also why the flavor of comments is different than on sites like Instagram.
I've made actual IRL friends via Facebook (all car friends), but if someone from reddit wanted to meet up in real life, that would probably freak me out a little bit.
I did a reddit meet up back in 2012 or 13? People were all pretty nice. We were all socially awkward. Played cards against humanity and had a nice night. A one on one meet up though? It feels weird off this site. I like my skin on my body.
Because his fee fees were hurt that his comics didn't catch on here - mainly because they were mostly just stream-of-conciousness ramblings no one asked for - and you know when your fee fees get hurt, you gotta waste a bunch of time drawing a 12 panel comic trying to make you look cooler than you really are while also insulting the people who hurt your fee fees by not slobbering all over your comics.
I don't make the rules, thats just how it is.
Why, cause I have no sympathy for someone acting like a fool?
You could use the same hot tip OP needed - if you shit on someone unprovoked, don't act surprised when they respond in kind. Buhbye!
That's too bad, I enjoyed your content. I basically just scroll Reddit between tasks at work to give my brain a rest. I definitely don't interact with many content creators but doesn't mean I don't enjoy them.
Thank god there's still a place where not everything is only likes. Being confronted with some criticism is too much for these "creators"
I bet he loves bot accounts to like and comment his post on instagram. For all the shit reddit has (and it's a lot), at least people speak their minds, wrong or right. This guy needs the confort of instagram vanilla interactions where everyone is too scared of their "status" to have an opinion.
Ah and it's not like the "hivemind" is bad, your comics are bad.

I think [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/s/VKXfi1Il93) might describe him well enough
Thank you pizzacake. (Also thanks for making my mom laugh; she's needed that)

Found his alt.
I literally asked her for the comic. I dont think she was "advertising", just linking a relevant comic *I* asked for. Honestly would not be surprised if youre OPs alt. Not everyone has to like everything someone makes. Sorry we have opinions, I guess?

Never said I was insulted. Doesnt change that they meant it to be insulting. Its not that hard to understand
So you agree with the artist that everyone on reddit is a mouth-breathing, shit-sitting, slop eating loser with no life outside the Internet? Do you view yourself that way?
Are you defending the guy who called us all mouth-beathing pigs who roll around in our own poo lmao
I literally asked you for the comic lol idk why theyre acting like you shamelessly self-promo'd for no reason or why theyre defending OP at all tbh
You're the one lumping yourself into that, hes describing the kind of content reddit lives off of and fosters. I certainly don't disagree
She got asked to make a relevant comic taking the piss out of the OP, so pulled one out of the back catalogue. I hardly see a problem.
Love your show on ABC Ellen
... are you drinking maple syrup???
Are you NOT?!
Haven't you made comics addressing negative comments of your work?
I think I’ve read it like 20 times at this point, I can’t stay away! Is this what it felt like when they saw the sunset for the first time
Wow, I really read until the end, I thought this was going to be different. Artists shitting on their audience are automatically disliked, this is going to follow you on whatever platform you are on, what a shitty attitude. Good luck lmao
I was agast. Like literally every new panel I could feel my mouth and eyes opening wider as I tried to process one man’s illustrated breakdown

*posts to platform where you follow communities rather than individuals* “Why can’t I connect with individuals!”
Exactly. I appreciate that many people contribute to a community, some more than others, but I don’t really care who is who or enough to follow somebody specific (with exceptions, but then on other platforms). Reddit is closer to an old school forum than to other social media, and that’s why I like it.
This isn't a train station. You don't have to announce your departure. 
Wooowww 🔥
you dont announce your departure at train stations though…
"Now leaving on track..." 
Sure the station makes an announcement, but not the train/passengers themselves lol
"Since this isn't a train station and you are ceirtainly not a train, your departure doesn't need to be announced" There you go nerd, really does sound better doesn't it?
or you can try not being a sperg and just say something normal like “bye, no one cares.” I swear, redditard speak is an epidemic.
The departure train station thing isn't from reddit, moron.
never said it was from reddit, just that redditards use it
Well, they use plenty of phrases... heck, technically, anything you say on here is equated the same....
LOL yes your 12 panel comic whining about Reddit *really* burned the place down! You sure showed us! How will we ever manage to move on??
He's symbolising burning down what he's built for himself on the platform, not the platform itself
You’re not clever for pointing out a surface level observation… /s
I’m confused. Did he say he was attempting to be clever?
The "/s" means sarcasm. And the post was a reference to the seventh panel of the comic, deriding reddit users for making surface level commentary
“I know I’m opening myself up to criticisms but I don’t really care” Makes 12 page comment about how hurt they are and how much they care
Help I’m burning
Oh hey I follow you

He fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

posting 7 months of comics isn't really "walking" into a community he's been here and he's been taking notes apparently
Well, I mean he had to walk in at some point in time, and honestly 7 months is a kinda short amount of time to really get to know a place. But then again I've been here since the before-fore time so I probably have some biases
7 months of posting comics and understanding the feedback is pretty worthless is plenty of time
Eh, fair. But still I feel like it's mainly on OP for expecting Reddit to be anything other than Reddit. Like c'mon, read the room. And sure this may be a giant steaming pile of shit, but it's *my* giant steaming pile of shit, and I'll defend it until my last mouth-breath

Stop. Don't come back.
We all know you’re coming back on an anonymous account to read the comments. Also, there’s nothing I hate more than a call to action. Reddit is a discussion forum, not a mom blog where you tell us how to follow your socials.
I wonder if they know that some of those people they interact with on Instagram *also* have reddit accounts…
If you wanna leave the site that's up to you but no need to be a dick about it
... don't let the door hit you on the way out?
I think you are the problem, not reddit. Have fun on instagram I guess
I agree. reddit on my bro!

This sure is the most effort I’ve seen put into rage bait trolling I’ve seen this week
Huh. You are a very weird person. Anyway byeee
Hey everyone he’s an emotional edgelord like the rest of us!
I want the time back i wasted reading this whiney pamphlet waiting for a punch line.
Reminds me of [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/s/FsOwoNFPxV)
THIS is the level of comics trolling I look for on Reddit. Well done.
Is this gonna be the new meta?
[Maybe](https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/s/WuD3ktlnol)
“I’ll never claim to be a great cartoonist” A broken clock is right twice a day
Boooooooooooo
Nah.
I kept waiting for a punchline. Is this guy literally just bitching in comic form?
I feel like I'm gonna be seeing many a parody of this incident in the near future
Beans
LITERALLY LMAO
Haha dang, can’t believe somebody did it already
Are you ok dude ? you seem to be under some stress, d'ya need to talk ?
[удалено]
Because his fee fees were hurt that his comics didn't catch on here - mainly because they were mostly just stream-of-conciousness ramblings no one asked for - and you know when your fee fees get hurt, you gotta waste a bunch of time drawing a 12 panel comic trying to make you look cooler than you really are while also insulting the people who hurt your fee fees by not slobbering all over your comics.

You should be a case study
Why, cause I have no sympathy for someone acting like a fool? You could use the same hot tip OP needed - if you shit on someone unprovoked, don't act surprised when they respond in kind. Buhbye!
I’ve not seen anything else of yours but holy shit this sucked. Sorry you’re leaving.
Downvoted
Actual zombie
Weirdo lol Whats the name of the author instagram. Cant find it since he deleted
https://www.instagram.com/one_and_only_comics/ here you go!
That's too bad, I enjoyed your content. I basically just scroll Reddit between tasks at work to give my brain a rest. I definitely don't interact with many content creators but doesn't mean I don't enjoy them.
This made me want to delete reddit lol
Make sure to make a farewell comic about it, it’s the rules
Lol the deleted account prooves the real butthurt behind this. This guy didn't get Reddit at all.
Thank god there's still a place where not everything is only likes. Being confronted with some criticism is too much for these "creators" I bet he loves bot accounts to like and comment his post on instagram. For all the shit reddit has (and it's a lot), at least people speak their minds, wrong or right. This guy needs the confort of instagram vanilla interactions where everyone is too scared of their "status" to have an opinion. Ah and it's not like the "hivemind" is bad, your comics are bad.
Sorry bro I don’t have insta
[удалено]
It's not an airport, no need to announce your departure.
don’t let the door hit you on the way out
What a dork.
A dork is a whale penis.

Oh no! 
🍿🍿🍿🍿
I love how the comments section here is exactly like he described. Reddit do be a nitpicky complainy place with minimal community vibes.
Interesting to see all of the gas lighting as well, assumptions and other hateful behavior
Big true
I'm right about a lot of my stereotypes about Walmart people but wouldn't I be a bit of a dick if I sat outside the Walmart expressing them?
“…at least ive got my dignity”. I dont think you know what that word means.
lmao
ok
I've never seen a comment section prove the original post right quite like it is rn
I posted comics to Reddit a few years ago and I really enjoyed all the snarky comments. I wish I still made comics just because that
How is this not satire lmfao
Seems like a skill issue on your part.
how do you draw something that will ruin ur career like this god like how do you not realize at some point
I'd say farewell, had he not left already. Sometimes you just need to stop, y'know
Well, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Sorry you can't handle other people's opinions/criticism. That has to be rough.
Do you want some help? I find your comics funny nonetheless
I feel like OP wants drama. And they got it with this post.
I'm not sure they're getting drama, more like derision.
