HOLY FUCK HOW.
WHY WOULD HE EVEN GO TO ISLAND
WHY WOULD THEY EVEN HIRE HIM
WHAT.

>>77788645
Graham is a huge fan of Marty the video games dog, and has drawn hard blush fan art before.

>>77788457
I think a lot of people MIGHT not want to buy blatant gay furry porn at their LCS.

>>77788704
Huh.
Huh...

>>77786562

Oh so that's why it's taken so long, he was in the Greek Military and only recently got out of the service.

>>77788719
Graham doesn't care, he's the hero we need getting hard blush in stores.

>>77788805
That's not what a hero would do Anon and you know it.

>>77788805

Fuck off, they got their own site and everything.

>>77788832
Yeah it is, don't you guys want more explicit twink furry porn in your LCS?

>>77788153
Now I can't buy the new Island because it'll look like I'm buying furry porn.

Tread lightly.

>>77796595
Why is it stupid?

Mods patrol the whole site, they aren't exclusive just to /co/. So why should we expect them to be knowledgeable about /co/ stuff? Only people with a real dedicated interest in the comic medium even know who Dave Sim is, let alone give a shit about him.

To someone who doesn't already know about Cerebus the Aardvark, that just looks like a random rant from a random conspiracy theorist.

It's the European model.

Regular Schedule > Quality
The comic comes out on time, even if that means a shitty comic.

>European Comics
Quality > Regular Schedule
The comic comes out with a reasonable level of quality, even if that means arriving late.

Also it means that stories are told in huge chunks instead of broken up into tiny little 5-to-10-page pieces.

Nothing risky about gay furry pandering. It's just that the people into it either keep it as a secret shame, or don't go outside/socialize so there's nothing to distract them from developing the most lewd of fetishes to please their abused dicks.

There are men who can't come from sex after masturbating to far out shit so much that the nerves in their dicks no longer detect pleasure from anything except their own masturbation technique and gay furry porn.

The only thing risky about this shit is losing sales because people don't want to be associated with that level of fucked up.

>>77811311
Also I don't mind this shit existing, but why in an anthology that was actually interesting and enjoyable. Why not start another more out there anthology for this kind of niche porn? They're literally porn characters.

I really like some of my issues of island and enjoyed being introduced to new concepts and ideas. There's nothing new about this gay video game dog shit, the characters have been around and the comics are fucking everywhere. It just seems to be his fetish.

>>77811418

>>77811418
Brandon and Emma want to give an opportunity to give their friends a spotlight. Even their kinkier friends.

>>77811374
Dysphoria is such bullshit. It's literally pining for a reality that never had a chance of happening and letting yourself get so caught up in fantasy that you actually experience depression.

The depression might be real, but the issues behind it are childish rejections of reality.

>>77811530
Over simplifying something and blaming it on "chemicals" is just dumb. There is a loss of a grasp on reality, a steady decline that leads to such delusional thinking.

Like fat people blaming genetics, it's avoidance behavior. There's a set of mal-adaptive behaviors and habits that formed over time. The "dysphoria" is a simple refusal of reality. It really is childish.

>>77811558
Farel Dalrymple's Pop Gun War is great stuff. I like the art on Amy Clare's Straylight. I liked Gael Bertrand's A Land Called Tarot a lot in the last issue. There has been very little I haven't enjoyed in Island. It is definitely worth the $8, even with them dropping the page count to 80 or so here soon.

>>77811681
I don't know, Anon.

I mean, from where I'm sitting, you're the one who lives in an overly simplistic reality where nobody is ever born with the wrong body for their neurochemistry (or the wrong neurochemistry for their body), because mistakes are never made by God/Mother Nature/The Miracle of Life, and every baby is born perfect.

>>77811692
Exactly. There's some legitimately good stuff. Talented writers and artists don't deserve to have their work hidden behind a furry fuck boy because one man has a Fetish.

>>77811884
I don't mind. The furry cover has more people talking about Island than ever before. Island needs all the exposure it can get. I want this to succeed so badly.

>>77811836
My cousin and his wife were so addicted they couldn't work, lived in my uncles basement, had two kids, let the kids go feral to the point where they missed school and had adult teeth go rotten before they even grew in, and finally lost the custody of their children to my uncle and his wife. All because of wow. Not to mention all the stories of other people letting their life go to hell for the game.

There's productive people who play it, I'm sure, but it is very harmful to some.

>>77811878
You're legitimately saying there are people with the brains of goblins.

You seem to be ranting about dysphoria in general, not specifically species dysphoria.

>>77811984
That's pretty bad, some people just can't control themselves.

>>77811494
Oh fuck off with your arrogance, that anon might be annoyingly prudish and vocal about what he considers safe and acceptable in his glorious comics he doesn't even need to buy if he doesn't like, but don't act like there isn't a difference and effect between a work being pornography and injecting your fetish into your work porn or no.
>inb4 there's nothing wrong with it
That's not the point, I'm not debating that. The point is you can't just sweep fetish under everything porn and therefore ironically make it sacred ground exempt from recognition and ridicule.

Like that one twat always posting the same derivative fan work of hypno-rape. There's nothing clever at work because porn is involved, it's just his fetish.
Furry gay pride parade, real and fictional, isn't risk taking or different or anything outside of fetish. By definition it's driven by tired obsessiveness.There's not a single daring step involved in Hardblush work. It's quite literally masturbatory.

It's daring because it expands the boundaries of what's considered to be "acceptable" to put in a mainstream comic book from a mainstream publisher and sold in mainstream comic shops.

It's daring because, just like a gay pride parade, a furry pride parade raises awareness and puts forth the demand for tolerance and eventual acceptance of a marginalized group.


I will understand completely if you want to dispute how effectively this comic achieves its goals, but I don't understand how you can miss seeing the attempt to reach those goals in the first place.

Tattoo artists don't have some sort of policy on inebriated requests by now? Aren't they worried about potential law suits once they sober up like that one girl who got the Joestar family mark special?

Those are cool though. I especially like the idea getting tattoos from getting lined up cancer treatment.

A "friend" gives you a tattoo.

A true friend gets the same tattoo as you.
