I know you're going to call me crazy but fuck it, it's been 10 years and I miss the insanity of kit n kay boodle. RIP Richard Katellis.

I still cant believe that happened. Even now some furries deny it.
>>
>>151110726
Alright, gimme the rundown. What happened?
>>
>>151111005
It’s roughly what it sounds like. A prominent furry comic artist maintained several alternate online identities as separate comic artists as well as loved ones and collaborators of those artists. Then he died, at the relatively young age of 59.
>>
>>151111162
I want to go with something as insane as this.
>>
>>151111005
TL;DR: One guy pretended to be at 5 different people online. All with friendship circles within the furry "community" online, and at least 2 artistic personas with webcomics.
We don't even know what his real name was.
>>
>>151111005
What above said here is more detail https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/13jqytk/furry_fandomwebcomics_a_followup_to_a_twoyearold/
While kit n kay ran it was infamous on /co/ for insane plot like talking boobies and stopping facism with rape but also the supposedly autobio comics about the author's life where he and his wife fucked her mom

The author's mother in law remembering masturbating to him and the wifey fucking. But then they all banged together. This was presented as something that happened in real life.
>>
>>151111757
There were 3 webcomics, actually.
"Gene Catlow" was your standard furry fursecution comic with furries that did office work and also had magical powers.
"Kit n Kay Kaboodle" was a very weird WarnerBros looking comic about fucking to defeat fascism.
And then the supposedly autobiographical comic.

>>151111858
The mouse wife had a time travel one too I think. And there was a 3d one.

The guy sure was industrious.
One part of me wishes that maybe he finally got the right mental health to quit and is still alive.

There's so many webcomics with clearly unstable or deeply repressed weirdoes at the helm that it's pretty much expected for the webcomic to crash and burn.

The art style was very similar but at the time furry artwork was much more primitive so a lot of other artists were drawing in similar artstyles.

Some of his online furry frienss met "Abert Temple" at a convention, but we don't know if that was even his real name.
>>
>>151112525
>>151112723
Kenno's literally drawn art of himself getting pegged and is completely up front about all of his fetishes, basically just using his comics as a fantasy escape where he gets to fuck girls and get fucked too, and has them fuck each other. I couldn't think of a less-repressed artist if I tried.

Anyone else remember that gay furry comic Vinci & Arty who's titular characters had a crossover with Jack. Anyone know where I can find an archive of it?

Come to think of it, Gene Catlow also had a Jack crossover

He enjoys himself. Probably.

Yeah he seems chill about basically everything, seeing his comic up there with a school shooter type and pedophile seems weird.

>>151112858
I mean yeah its weird, but like >>151113011 said putting him up with way weirder stuff is like equating a firecracker to a depth charge.

Oh I wasn't saying he was comparable, I was saying comparing him to repressed and clearly deranged artists didn't make much sense. He's just horny as fuck and doesn't give a damn.

I was so fascinated by the series when I was younger, minus' limitless abilities and childish morality. I never saw anyone discuss it outside of /co/ much. The artists original website went down, but I guess some fans achieved his work on their own. Which is cool since there was a point in time where I tried to reread it online but there were no online resource to read the full series.

None of these three people actually existed. They were all alt personas of the actual cartoonist. It was just his fucked up fantasy.

JACK is actually in it's final arc right now.
>>151112904
It's weird to think about, but the main reason jack was so infamous back in the day was because it was insanely popular at the time for a furry webcomic. If you read webcomics in the 2000s it was almost inescapable.

For me it's The Intrepid Girlbot. The life and adventures of a little robot girl and her friends. She is unique in a world of adult-designed robots, and her shenanigans lead to her acquiring new and uinuqe friends. Entirely wordless, wonderfully illustrated, whimsical tone, quite compelling IMO. Sadly it seems to have died alongside Hiveworks, though Diana Nock, the author, had gone on hiatus before that. It's a pity, the comic stopped in the middle of an arc investigating the nature and origin of Girlbot's little world, alongside the fate of an adult lady robot she and her friends had damaged and taken in.

Jack is infamous for being edy and is full of gore and sex and what have you. IIRC one of its more (in)famous installments is two characters being dumped in a serial killer's pit of his victim's corpses.
>>
>>151116760
"The Screaming Barrel" is just a weird side story, not part of the webcomic proper. "Musical Holes" was a proper chapter.
>>
>>151116694
Holy shit, I can't even remember the last time I thought about this comic. What a throwback.
>>
Here's a comic i've been looking for, forever, and haven't found any trace of it on the internet whatsoever. Read it years ago in highschool.
Some of this may not be 100% accurate since my memory is fuzzy but I can say it's probably mostly correct
>Occasionally NSFW comic that mainly follows one dude who (had a beard and was a ginger?)
>Story starts? with him at a house party on a roof with a cute girl, who he refuses to bang because she's 17
>He works at a walmart/walmart type of store
>Bangs his manager in the backroom
>Beach scene with mud wrestling and the girls go topless
>Someone gets eaten out behind a bush at one point
>At some point warhammer 40k is referenced?
>Comic ends with guy and girl on the roof who finally get together because the girl is 18 now
I wish I could remember more but it's been so long those are the only few things that stick out in my mind

Jesus christ man. I just read the 'screaming barrel' and was dumbfounded at how, at least for a horror concept, novel it was. I'm a big horror fan and i've engaged in a lot of horror media, even the more 'out there' stuff, but i've never seen anything concepted like this. It's convinced me to read the rest of the comic.

Oh no. These weren't sockpuppet accounts or online personas, these were full on fictional people with their own backgrounds, relationships, life circumstances, and, in the case of his 4 (out of at least a dozen) most well-known alts their own webcomics. And he was pretty industrious about updating the comics as well, Gene Catlow was three days a week for 17 years without missing an update.

Racism and also to put people at ease. For context, dude was an OG furry; by the time the furry fandom started really kicking off online in the late 90s he was already 40 years old. Middle aged single male, 100% into the sexual and fetish side of the fandom, and black while his primary alt-identities were a fictious long-term partner and a happily married couple; I would say it was 100% done to alter how people perceived him. And by all accounts he died of natural causes.

Fascinating internet history right there. I never knew the guy was like that. Awesome. I never paid much attention to his Kit N Kay Boodle comics but I knew the guy more for his Johnny and Bonnie characters. I think that was what it was called. It was a cat and a dog that fucked all the time. I thought it was funny because they looked like Looney Tunes characters.

Well on the bright side, he didn't die. There's no known obituary for Albert. I think as age caught up, it was too many personas. I'd like to think he just latched to another final profile given he was 58 (now 64). He will die not living a stressful lie.

It was actually due to the trickster spirit thing the kids worshiped being drawn in a style that was really similar to Australian Aboriginal art. Which would've been THE easiest fix, because everything else about the tribe and its aesthetics were very nondescript. But I remember the author was going through some heavy mental shit at the time and the idiots piling on them didn't help. Anyway yeah I miss this one, it was such a cool idea. Wonder how they feel about Yellowjackets.

Anyone remember the old Nsider forums? There tons of webcomics and fanmedia on there that essentially became lost media when the website became kill in 08. A few years ago while I was doing some google sluething, I managed to find an archive for one specific artist who went by Cartoony on the forum, pretty fun find. Pretty standard gamer humor, but she made hundreds of these strips and a few of them talked about other users and forum drama so its been a cool little time capsule for me

Is that what it is? From my understanding, the guy was just super autistic. He was really into MGS and wanted to larp as some badass secret agent with various japanese femme fatale girlfriends whom he'd "invite" to his goon groups on discord to be stand-ins for times when he'd want to share controversial opinions (ex: that one time he said he felt bad for inadvertently giving korone her ryona fetish with his re death animation videos, and then his fake girlfriend immediately posts in response with "no dont feel bad, its fucking hilarious!!")
Basically his goon mentality was "if a female person of color says something naughty, the saints at SA will have no choice but to tolerate it!" and he was right. He got away with every lie in the book until he faked having cancer again, which was the tipping point that pissed slowbeef off enough into telling all the LP goons to go ahead and call out his obvious bullshit, since goons always need permission to make fun of someone.

I think the husband of the panther chick is mentioned in the thread. I'm just going off my memory, which isn't the most reliable. But I remember the comics were on this super old (can't remember the name, but it was much older than deviantart) image hosting site for furries. I never considered they might have been the same guy, due to furries being pretty incestuous style wise. If the idea that it was one guy metabolized back then I might have scrutinized the hand writing more.

A pair of scavengers in a post-apocalyptic world are getting caught up in a mix of local yokels, politicans, rebels, and other hooligans digging up the past, a lot of it revolving around tapping into the shit that caused the very apocalypse that made the world they live in. The most current arc is about what you could sort of call a land/political legitimacy dispute, which revolves around mapmaking and the passage of mapwork as property since it is a difficult thing in-setting and a recording of history the established government in the area wishes to suppress. All of these things are threads you can trace through the story, just like with how large scale TV shows will tend to bounce between different characters and their circumstances only to tie them together for explosive finales and so on later.

On the whole, 3rd Voice is a story technically told in past-tense with occasional snippets of other points in time as handled by other characters. This can all be ascertained if you pay attention.

Jack has some poor artwork that makes everyone look like a melting Loony Toon. It's also needlessly edgy at times. Under that, the story is a wild ride, there's a lot of heart under the edge and rape, and while he occasionally cribs from stuff like Twilight Zone, for the most part the writing is well done.
To me, the peak of Jack will always be Megan's Run. Woman drifter ends up befriending a little girl with cancer, see's death(Jack) coming for her, grabs her and decides to keep running to keep the little girl alive.

Remember, you'd have to network your site, swap links! Make link buttons and banners. I don't recall there being any major site that listed every webcomic ever. Back then you really needed to surf the web to find them. Sometimes, you'd get web awards! Created by...random people!
Maybe it has something to do with that it was a hobby for alot of people, and many amateurs started comics, had ideas, and everyone had a dream to be popular with a comic. Now everything needs to be done for profit, like and subscribe, please that algorithm. Also, we moved to a very video based Internet, drip feed of Youtube shorts and Tiktoks, webcomics just don't fit that.

For some reason, Badly Drawn Kitties popped up into my head just now.

It's too late to start making one. Pretty much all creative content - books, comics, vidya, even movies and tv - are all dead mediums due to oversaturation and everyone wanting something for free.
If you made a webcomic now, you'd have three options
>feature it on your own website and get no readers
>feature it on some corpo 'host your shit here' site and get no readers
>build up a following very slowly on twitter and hope the algorithm blesses you, then go corpo
And option 3 is basically the lottery.

Greatest example of becoming successful (right time right place, comic started in 2001 and iirc got popular around 2004-2005) and completely fumbling it. Should have went to more comic cons, could have started some youtube shorts - maybe even got an entire animated series going now.
But no, he just started doing porn...and the real kicker, the "official porn" wasn't as good as fan porn.
I can understand maybe growing out of videogames but cmon he could have expanded the story.
Scott also had two other webcomics too...
Also, GamerCat, which is also dead, was a nice comic that I felt is what VG Cats could have been - yknow just a funny strip about games and cats that updated on time.

I don't want to get too deep, but I don't see why internet centralization would make the webcomic medium disappear. It seems to me you could just market your webcomic on the more centralized social media websites, same as everything else.

Because those sites operate in a way that is antithetical to the medium. Communities exist inside bubbles, maintained by algorithms that ensure that only a very specific kind of content is ever promoted to a very specific audience. Not to mention the fact that these sites are absolutely terrible for art hosting in general.

I wonder what happened to him.

>>151141406
He posted a comic just last week. Though, Scott is clearly unhealthy in these current days, enigmatic medical issues have cost him a lot of his energy and sanity, he's just not able to concentrate and draw the way he used to, still disappearing for weeks at a time. At least he's not worshiping ChatGPT as an omniscient god in the machine anymore. That was a weird interlude.
>>
>>151142282
The guy has some weird mental breakdowns. When his wife left him and took the kids, his way of snapping was starting to make VGcats porn on another Patreon account. Then his 2nd mental breakdown had him remove all old comics and put em behind a paywall on Patreon and now we had the AI shit.

The writer worked briefly for Marvel in the only good run of Gwenpool, but nowadays he writes for Adventure Time comics.

>his way of snapping was starting to make VGcats porn on another Patreon account
That wasn't "snapping" so much as it was a way of getting money out of furries. And in that regard it was a huge success, the VGLewds patreon was 10x more successful than the VGCats one.
You also missed the breakdown where he deleted that lewd patreon, revoked all commissions (there were several outstanding $100 commissions already paid for), and disappeared from the internet entirely for two years. Then the AI nonsense. Now it seems he's calmed down a touch, but everything he makes is loaded down with typos and he often seems to ramble like a dementia patient. Probably actual brain damage at this point from the vague medical issues he alludes to.

He's a leaf does he not have free health care? He's also what, in his 40s now? How bad could his health be?

Fucker was late with updates millennia ago, maybe he has undiagnosed adhd.

Doctors aren't miracle workers. Having free healthcare is not a ticket to being actually healthy if it's not something medicine can cure.
>>
>>151142306
>Then his 2nd mental breakdown had him remove all old comics and put em behind a paywall on Patreon and now we had the AI shit.
Did he really take all his old VGCats comics that were free for years and paywall them? What a DICK move!
I understand trying to make money with it but the dumbass has let his IP sit and rot on the vine for like 15 years. Zoomers and alpahs dont give a fuck about VGCats. His time to make major bank was years ago and he blew it.
>and now we had the AI shit.
Was he using AI for his old drawings or something?

Scott, if you ever read this, you can draw, you can draw toons, and furry. Just draw r34 toony porn for people. Not your IP but /co/, /trash/ and /v/ furry shit. Rake in those bucks now before AI takes it away.

No, it wasn't artistic. He thought he could do something like command ChatGPT to create lesser AIs that could study independently like a research team, and that "they" (ChatGPT's roleplay figment) would be able to "solve" all outstanding problems in physics and astronomy and math and so on. It's all deleted now thankfully and Scott hasn't mentioned it for some time so I think he managed to wake up from that nonsense.
>>
>>151142354
>and now we had the AI shit.

Basically he had like a 3rd side thing, where he would post obvious AI art mixed with his schizo rambles about life and philosophy.

>Did he really take all his old VGCats comics that were free for years and paywall them?
Ye, he did. I think the whole slew of his old comics were for like 50$?

Eh, thered a way to either give refunds and show you can do make art. Hard work, but doable.

>How much was he making purr month with it?
It began around $2000 per month, shot up to $4000 a month for the short while he was active, then slowly declined back down to $1200 a month over the course of four years before Scott burned it all down and ragequit. In comparison, the VGCats patreon was never much higher than $300 a month at any point.

The furry fandom has a lot of straight guys in it, incels or close to it. A lot of the popular artists are also straight. The active community, that attends cons and has parties, is mostly gay.

A lot of these comics, like Alice Otter, Vicky fox, or even Sabrina online, have an element of escapism born from loneliness.

I wonder if the drop to 1200 a month was him slipping with drawing, or perhaps people were getting board of it?

In Japan there is a clear and time honored route from "I'm just throwing up this story/comic online for fun!" to "corpo notices you are popular and offers you a publishing deal".
In the west, however, if you want to get published you have to crawl on all fours under the doggy door of a literary agent, beg and plead and suck his cock about how amazing he is, and then MAYBE you get published but ONLY if you are a female offer doing romance slop.

While I can't quite hate these people for securing the bag, but looking at the hellscape of modern seasonals and realizing a lot of them are essentially pulled from Japanese Wattpad is kind of bleak. Can't deny otaku are getting regularly pandered to in a way western animation fans are not though.

There is some degree of this in the fanfic scene (all that Draco/Hermione and Reylo shit), but it is limited to books/live action.

I thought that too but then he was bitching on twitter about people criticising it in the end and had a bitch thread every bit of criticism he got over the entire comic run on bluesky. He blocked me for pointing out people hated the arc with the cougar because his constant forced gags derailed the entire tone and plot and it was not due to his excuse of "people just don't like the wolves lol".
So I'm still not sure if he was spitefully giving his vocal hugbox fanbase every stupid thing they wanted no matter how retarded it was or if he actually thought any of that was a good idea.
