>>82084579
How do you read this?

>>82086050
You don't. It's not worth your time.

>>82085560
Gott, this is so retarded.
I have a housemate who sings and hums a lot. His father plays guitar, but this dude cannot. Will just drone on while he's on his computer. It is not a good voice.

He still claims he's 'very musical' though. He can't read sheet music, or play anything. His voice is not good. The stuff he listens to and hums/sings/drones is pleb-tier.

But it's ok that he hasn't spend the years I have learning how to do music. We shouldn't discourage anybody, because everyone is special. The people who just started are just as special as the people who've devoted their lives to some talent.

>>82085856
Which one?
The one where the guy literally leaves his wife, job and home to chase a Game of Thrones fantasy?

Or the one where it says creating is more important than literally anything else?

The latter is less retarded. The first is full-blown autism that wouldn't be out of place on /a/ or /mlp/

>>82085560
Is he ignoring the fact that it costs lots of money to support an artist, like thousands of dollars?

>>82086356
That, and implying that one person working for disney gets to create something all their own, and it's not a thinktank designed to sell products.

And also, that no matter how hard you try, you sometimes plumb won't make it. You didn't have the talent or luck, or someone was just plain better.

More important than being 'creative' is being able to make something that sells.
It's absurd how many people forget this.
If you want to make money doing what you love, you've got to love making things people will buy, and actually get the money from making them rather than getting assfucked by someone who's profiting off of what you made.

Chris Chan is a misunderstood hero according to Zen Pencils. We didn't encourage him enough to make him into a great artist.

But seriously, I find it weird that Zen Pencil quotes Miyazaki even though he would hate the artist behind the comic.

>>82085560
the potential losses are just as staggering as the potential benefits.

>>82086633
Fun fact: You wanna know why people are able to get away with making shitty webcomics for a living?
Because you only need 1000 dedicated autists dumping $100 into your bank account a YEAR to earn $100,000 a year before taxes and shit.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but 1000 people is 0.00030959752 PERCENT of the population of the United States.
If you have one percent of the US giving you a dollar a year, you're raking in 323 thousand dollars.

>>82084842

1% of the entire USA is a much higher figure than you make it sound. 1000 autists at 100 each is much more achievable. 5000 at 10 each even moreso.

I know, but I bring it up because successful clickbait can 'catch' a relatively high percentage of the population compared to webcomics, even though every click earns, say 0.02 US. Enough articles, and you're looking at some serious money.

You're thinking too much into this. The author has no personal connection to the stuff he does other than the dumbass "trolling" saga with Miyazaki making a Gundam. Everything else is just using cliche'd imagery to match quotes to sell as "inspiration" fodder. He even dips into Ayn Rand quotes here and there.

The entire comic is shit though, so I've no idea what it's actually trying to say. It's actually annoying me because marketers really are among the worst category of people in the world and this manages to make anti-marketer types look like fucking idiots.

Because that is literally the most obtuse way to phrase that in this context.
Just fucking ask for a soft drink, for the love of God.

>>82087720
See, even that is taking it too literal. This is the webcomic equivalent of "hang in there!" cat posters designed to be sold as a product through and through. Only these have progressive imagery that makes /pol/ mad just looking at it, so they take it 100% face value

this doesn't make sense though

for example a stealth bomber is shown there; if that idea isn't rejected (sorry rejector, your head asplode) then they're stuck using it even though air attacks are already demonstrably ineffective.

the blimp is even worse, it doesn't even have the chance of escape that the stealth bomber did (and even that was dubious compared to the F-18)

artists should not ever be put in charge of military planning. even magicians yes i'm fucking serious britain did it look it up are of more use.

Any creative type should have a thick skin. You're going to get criticized no matter what you produce. It's good to consider some of the criticism and throw out other shit. You'll never make everyone happy. Produce what you want, don't let people get you down and always realize you need to improve and can do better.

He'd rather do that than fucking have anyone improve, or God (granted this faggot doesn't seem to believe in God) forbid, pay attention to his audience's basic fucking analysis, or anyone's basic fucking analysis? Holy fuck, and I thought Jeph Jacques was bad.

And if he saw my post he'd probably think he's smart because his comic is "describing my hate," because his personal self-validation somehow equates to "wisdom."

i'm as capitalist as can be, buddy.
it's because i value a free market* that i came to hate the idea. it's one of the most tangible (and least acceptable) ways that a bigger company gains an advantage over a competitor that isn't quantitative to the advantage of their product.

*i do believe some intervention is necessary to prevent monopolies in practical terms, as well as because convincing people to go full libertarian is much harder than fighting a pragmatic battle to slowly take the state out of places it doesn't belong while ignoring it in others.

One is using imagery to match up the Banksy quote that they think fits. The other one is just someone excited for a movie. The horror.

I keep saying this but I hope you people realize ZenPencils is nothing more than an elaborate "quote of the day" calender. They represent the artist's vier as well as a commercial does. Fuck, they even use an Ayn Rand quote at some point.
