Endtown could have been such a great comic.

>>151992085Don't put your significant other into your art. Just don't. It's amazing what a consistent bit of good advice this is, and how often refusing to follow it has led to disaster. It ruined multiple characters in Venture Bros when it wasn't followed. It ruined Evangelion, too.
>>151992200Do you think the divine comedy would have been great if it wasn't for Beatrice?
>>151992200More than just Triana?The writing did recover it from it OK-ish. It forced a darker turn for Dean who was despondent and even bitter over it for a while which wasn't a bad direction (and seperated him from Hank, which was interesting). It forced turning Orpheus into a goofball which was inferior to his doting-dad thing, though.

>>151992653This was maybe one of the few exceptions, and that's because the work itself was pretty based outside of that already and back then breakups didn't really happen. Having a muse is fine, but allowing a muse to be in a situation that could turn volatile in relation to you is why some things crash and burn.
>>151993842Beatrice also was NOT Dante's "significant other." They met a total, of what, five times? She was his muse, they were never actually romantically involved.
>>151993874Even more based then, shoving a love interest into a book is fine.
>>151993575madam mim lookin ass
Imagine the smell
ough
I can't believe I read all of it to understand a panel about an insane raccoon or whatever that was posted as the latest update at the timeAre they even back in the town? Wasn't there something about a flying ship?
>>151994828POV is back in the town, Wally and some other randos are on a beach fighting against robots while lizard gf and bird boy along with a whole bunch of extras are rowing away to the sea, hoping to find a new place to inhabit.Also, the author put everything except 2 latest releases behind a paywall. Endtown is dead as far as I'm concerned.
>>151991967Many things could have. Many things don't. It happens.
>>151991967coulda woulda shoulda
>>151992200>Don't put your significant other into your art.This.
>>151992085>banned from /co/ for 10 years for being considered furryNot really, it's just that some asshole moderator had something against the comic and used that as an excuse to remove it from /co/.
>>151991967Any baddies?
Is there a way to catch up with this without having to subscribe to GoComics? I havent been able to keep up with it ever since the last arc with Wally and company ended and we returned to Endtown
>>151992085She was his wife not his girlfriend, they got divorced. You'd think the comic would've improved after he got married again but no it's still hasn't pulled up from the misogynistic nosedive the comic's been trapped in. Making Petey's PT girlfriend abusive and Gustine overlooking threats to Albert's wellbeing and life because of social justice just is following the same trends. Feels like years since there's been a competent and believably written female character and that one ended up being turned into toothbrushes and dropped into a pit of fire.
>>151992085>>151992200It also ruined that Laurell K Hamilton series when the author divorced the werewolf.
>>151991967>furry webcomic>reasonable initial premise>absolutely batshit insane execution that only gets worse and more retarded the longer it goes on>melodrama and extreme tragedy bullshit that only gets more ridiculous with each passing page>somehow runs for literal decades
>>151999450What really ruined it was when she turned a hardcore badass female character into a total slut by imposing all her own fetishes onto her. She had the Meridith Gentry series for fetishes and smut, readers LOVED Anita Blake for the plentiful action, and rare, tasteful sex scenes. I guess the Meredith Gentry series didn't sell as well, so it got canned, and because Anita Blake had a comparatively much larger fanbase...well, gotta get those demons out of her head and onto paper, so let's ruin the cash cow! The last good Anita Blake novel was either The Killing Dance, or debatably Blue Moon. By the time the other types of lycanthropes figure into the series in a more regular way everything pretty much turned to smut and all the lycanthropes were were all some sort of sex perverts, and Anita was well on her way to becoming a Mary Sue with insane power creep and basically Pokemon-ing all the lycanthrope species.
>>151999141There used to be a site that generated RSS feeds for GoComics comics, but it got C&D'd. I stopped following Endtown after that.>>151999049Flask
>>151991967Comic stopped being good after Marx was introduced. That was the jumping the shark moment for me.
>>151999141Just get your popup blocker to block the elements of the site that demand you subscribe and you can read it. I had to fiddle with mine to do it and it works.
>>151992653The Paradisio is the most boring part....
>>151999049The baddest
>>152001945The fact she was bait last arc to jerk the audience around and didn't even physically appear in the cartoon world was such a shit move.
>>152001978Right? I actually started reading again because I thought maybe Aaron had realized the error of his ways.
>>152001924Does that work on ublock origin?
>>152002532Yes, though I don't have the specific exclusion list since I did it months ago. I forget if I got it from /co/ or /trash/.
>>151995090Putting your comic behind a paywall is such a great way to make everyone forget it existsI keep forgetting achewood came back
