Furie has launched a Kickstarter for a comic zine calledSave Pepe, which aims to recreate Pepe as “a universal symbol for peace, love, and acceptance.”
The latest episode in the ongoing saga of the alt-right symbol Pepe the Frog finds its original creator, Matt Furie — who recently attempted to kill off Pepe — attempting to resurrect his character from the grave, in order to refashion him in a kinder, gentler image.
If it’s successful, the zine could finally give Pepe’s creator some peace of mind — or at least some financial return — after a“nightmare”year in which he’s seen his creation become a universally recognized symbol of white supremacy.
But it’s far more likely that the attempt will be yet another failed effort to reclaim for the general public a meme that seems to have been completely appropriated by the alt-right.

must eat him up that Pepe is only famous because of internet trolls.
>>131710151
the original pepe doesn't even look like our pepe. wtf is this faggot going on about. it could be pepe lost brother for all we know.
>>131710151
It's almost like he's trying to make money off of his creation.
>>131710151
We live in the best timeline.
>>131710151

Pepe the Frog rises from grave to seek vengeance against alt-right
Creator Matt Furie wants to take Pepe away from the alt right
>If Pepe the Frog’s creator has anything to say about it, his creation will shake off the cloak of bigotry which has been thrown around its shoulders by members of the alt right.
>Cartoonist Matt Furie told the Associated Press that he plans on reviving Pepe after killing him off last month,according to a report by ABC News.
>To achieve this goal, he and his brother Jason have started a crowdfunding campaign to raise $10,000 for the publication of a Pepe comic book. In addition, Furie has hired attorney Kimberly Motley to explore legal options against alt right-ists who have used Pepe’s image to promote their cause without the creator’s permission.
>>131710151
That guy is cracking up. There is no escape for him now. If he created totally new characters, they would be memed into even worse characters than Pepe.
If he were totally shekel-oriented, he would go even more natsoc than Steven Crowder, and make Pepe a complete Jared Taylor-quoting, race-realist shitlord.
All he's gonna do is provide more content for the memers. Which I'm completely fine with. Can't wait
>>131710151
His creation has truly taken on a life of its own, separate from him. Better. I wonder what it feels like? Probably not good.
Landwulf is a SS officer.

No, jews are harassing him into doing this.

>Kickstarter to recreate Pepe
>Give me your money for a poorly drawn frog image
That'd be like getting marvel to publish sonichu
Has this retarded fucker really not realized how memes work yet?
>>131710151
But Pepe is the frog of peace
>>131713521
Here is one from his first attempt at taking it back.
>>131713719
when you put it that way I think we should back him
he surrendered his character by killing him canonically in his only claim to its existence
should have thought that one thorough
>>131713423
why the appropriating though, can /pol/ create their new character for meme?
>>131710151
>>131710151
no one would know about pepe without us we are his creator now
>>131713860
Use the patron troll technique
Promise money then retract it before the payday
>>131713955
You know we have fully assimilated Zyklon Ben when he puts the 4chan logo into his comics.
>>131713936
Of course we can, toothpaste, I just created Luuk van Luuk, the Rape Capybara just for this post, pic related.
But this cartoonist has already shown how buttblasted he gets by /pol/'s use of Pepe, which is an open ended invitation to troll hard. He's a punching bag for 4chan, same as LaBoeuf.
>needing money to spread something on the internet
>oyy bey
pepe redesigns anone?
>>131713423
he actually tried pic related
>>131710151
When will Furie finally break and start accepting our commissions?
>>131713955
Stop ruining Benny's comics. Post the unedited version please.
>needs a kickstarter to change his creation
i wonder what (((he's))) trying to do
>>131710151
Wasn't he amused by usage of Pepe before the elections?
>>131719338
Anybody?
what a fucking cuck, instead of understanding and embracing what pepe became he's trying change it.
Always pee with your pants up, or you'll turn into a hate symbol
>>131710151
>the alt-right
I do miss when he was mostly used for expressing sad feels. I miss old Internet culture in general.
>>131710402
Funny shit with cultural appropriation. Niggers do that thanksgiving dinner meme shit. American niggers literally just cook southern food and act like it's their shit. We taught them how to cook for us southerners and then they act like that's culturally nigger food. They ate cow shit and berries before we brought those cotton picking apes over here and taught them how to cook.
Real nigger food is raccoon and clay.

It's like I've been taking crazy pills for the past 5 years.

How much does it cost to draw a fucking cartoon? It's honestly pathetic, he most literally be on the verge of living on the street if he's begging like this.
>>131719338
>>131713149
lmao what the fuck are they going to do, hunt down and sue people that posted pepe memes on 4chan and twitter?
>>131710151
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
>>131722241
Version with Nazi arm band?
>>131710151
>most famous character
nobody knows who the fuck this guy is and they certainly don't associate Pepe with him.
Nice. I just donated $20 so we can get some new Pepe material to make Nazi memes with.
>>131710151
>>131721333
It's funny that he doesn't realize the only reason Pepe got any fame was because of 4chan, way before Pepe realized that National Socialism was the one true path
>>131726810
I kek'd anon well done.
>>131710151
Pepe is happier with us anyway
>>131710151
Will he ever give up trying to make himself famous from this?
>>131710151
"Pepe is love"
His most famous character... that is only famous because it was taken from him.
>>131711572
Pepe was degenerate before we adopted him.
>rebranding my frog god
never
>>131713149
pepe is no longer yours to control, matthew.
we should crowdfund a lawsuit against him and put pepe into the public domain
HE BELONGS TO THE MEMES
Can't even raise $10,000 what a f**
>>131711015
>>131710151
>>131710151
He loves Pepe and he loves that we liberated him because it's his claim to fame.
All the rest is bollocks.
>>131727566
how would you think you could ever take pepe back from shit like this
or this
>>131710151
How does he not know trying reclaim something the internet has taken and made into another thing is impossible? Are the kikes forcing him to do it?
>>131710151
I doubt he gives much of a shit and just wants to get some sweet shekels out of all this.
>>131727171
>>131710151
Eh, he'll come around in a couple of years just like Zyklon Ben.
>he thinks le ebin Nazi is the worst thing we've done with pepe
Does that mean he doesn't know pee pee poo poo pepe exists? Should we educate him?
>>131715263
>I just created Luuk van Luuk, the Rape Capybara just for this post
i'm fucking crying
>>131726810
u stole my post, or i stole yours :(
>>131727171
pepe has achieved more with us than some liberal faggot could have ever hoped for him, pic related
>>131711015
Considering he once browsed these boards, he should be aware that once content is released into the internet you have lost all control of it.
In 8 years, this lazy shit never gave a single flying fuck about us claiming Pepe as our own. He had already abandoned his Boys Club comic altogether long ago. It wasn't until last year that he suddenly started pretending to care. He only resumed activity because the ADL started paying him $10,000 USD per month to make a big spectacle over muh ebil gnadzis molesting his frog. You don't hear that this is the reason because he isn't allowed to tell you this. He isn't allowed because he signed an NDA.
>>131728064
exactly, or this. i have several threads worth of pepes like these, and my collection is far from complete
>>131728300
we should
>>131728382
Or he IS aware, but is also aware "reclaiming" pepe plus kickstarter equals free money and wants to go full jew
> mfw i need a hug cause i am the bastard son of a liberal
>>131728526
>>131728064
unrecoverable
>>131710151
Jesus Christ, someone backed 5 grand to this project? What the hell?
The total is at 15k on Kickstarter?
Who wants this shit?
Did Furie LITERALLY believe that killing off pepe in his comic was going to stop the mean racists on the internet from using their memes? Is he so out of touch that he thinks any of the people who use pepe memes actually follow and care about boys club?
>>131710151
YOU CAN'T FUCKING TAKE HIM BACK, FURIE, PEPE IS OURS NOW AND FOREVER
>>131728565
*hug*
I think we need a Dolan revival to aid Pepe in this war.
>>131727171
this isn't pepe, anon

We're so, soooo far beyond the Streisand effect with Pepe. There's no "more" attention it can garner, short of pee pee pepe raids on Twitter or some shit

He's like Lenard Nimioy writing A book called 'I am not Spock' and trying to be a real actor, then seeing the everlasting success of Trek deciding to do a full 360 and writing loads of books about being fucking Spock. The derp.

>>131710151
His famous character was only famous because of 4chan and its memes. It would have been otherwise discarded and forgotten without those things. So only two possibilities exist for why he is doing this:
1.) Matt Furie is playing a game with identity politics in order to get people to click away at his stuff and give him money. Basically, its like a game of 4D chess where he plays on both side's with Pepe being in the middle of it as the bait and gets paid while protecting his social status so that he doesn't get completely destroyed by the lefties and SJWs who would attempt to ruin his life over a meme/their feelings.
or
2.) Matt Furie is a raging super autist on the levels of Chris-chan about his oregano constant donut steel character Pepe and is legit trying to remove his status as a hate symbol because all the other kids/autists make fun of him for it and he gets ass mad about it. He gets attention and tries to get the mean internet bullies to stop by telling everyone his amazing plan to kill/revive Pepe in order to make him the good guy that he always wanted him to be because autism.
I really want it to be reason one for the lulz and the bantz, but this is the internet and people from it are generally cookie cutter two-dimensional autistic filth that act like children even as grown adults, so I definitely think its reason number two.
