Where is your viral comic /ic/?
>>7227945well, everyone does love elves
>>7227963Well, love to hate them maybe. Stupid Knife-Ears.
SOMEONE MUST PUT AN END TO THE PRETENTIOUSNESS OF THESE MINNESOTA FAGGOTS, AND THAT WILL BE ME!
I don't know why you felt the need to edit the guy's name out of the tweet when it's right there on the image. It's Merrivius. I like his art and he seems like a nice enough guy the few times I've spoken with him here. Glad something he's making is popping off, though last I checked (admittedly a few years ago now) he seemed to be doing just fine.Anyway to answer the question I doubt any comic I make will ever be "viral", mostly because I'm not trying to make anything as shareable as that.
>>7228027>It's MerriviusMerrivius has been a 4chin regular for some time now and hes one of the better comic makers to post here IMO.
>>7228053
>>7227975i just love themTOTAL NON ELVEN DEATH (except for me)
>>7228057>>7227945so it is just standard misandry but in a cowardly "elf" outfit to try and camouflage its intent. girls are weak.
>>7227945>>7228057kinda weird how one-note the comic is. I mean how many comics of "elf hate humie" can be made?
>>7227945Where is yours OP?
>>7228129Have you ever read that comic about the lasagna loving cat who hates Mondays? There are quite a few of them, surprisingly.
>>7228129one of the largest comics online is about a nerd and jock doing shit together all the time, so a lot.
>>7228057>>7227945Ooh I get the shtick Is literally just "grab a meme reaction, and make the elf do it, and everything else doesn't matter"
>>7227945How long until someone draws em fucking?
>>7228129I don't know, how many comics of "dwarf hate elf" and "humie hate elf" can be made?
>>7228550be the change you want to see in the world
>>7228567too busy drawing other things atm so gonna be a while :( then again I don't really draw porn either.
>>7228057>the punchline is le funny face
>>7228129fuck elves, I say as some one who draws them
>>7228639A punchline that transcends language is a pretty good punchline honestly. If you're looking for deep wordplay you're obviously looking in the wrong place.
>>7227945>1.6k views>0 (zero) upvoteswatch out Merrivius my comic will go viral any day now.
>>7228898>they
>>7228913Bait. You can use the singular “they” when you’re making a generalization.Example:>Who’s calling so early in the morning, and what do they want?
It happened to me.
>>7227945All the comics I make are shit that only I seem to actually find funny.Ah, well.
>>7228088It's a common fantasy trope for elves to look down on humans
>>7228057Why is the elf so ugly in close up
>>7227945>Tolkien's elves don't hate humans>Yeats' elves don't hate humans>Dunsany's elves don't hate humansWtf is the trope from
>>7229340These elves don't hate humans either >>7228057It's just this one. You know, for the comedy? The joke is silly faces, it's really not trying to wrinkle your brain here.
>>7228639can tell you're comics are already garbage, but doubt you made any in the first place.
>>7228935felt like the fuck you part didn't need to be added
>>7229339The point is exaggerated funny face like in sponger bob
>>7228550https://files.catbox.moe/z1q0cq.jpgOnly good one i've seen
>>7229339because the "joke" is an ugly exaggerated face. this is the essence of hack comics. shen comix, etc
>>7227945How do they even go viral though? Wouldn't they already have a decent following to begin with?
>>7229535>How do they even go viral though?Pay a marketing company a few grand.
>>7229565>said by a coping retard that his slop don’t get any attention
>>7228898I'm convinced the reddit numbers are complete bullshit too. I refuse to believe thousands of people see posts that get next to zero reaction, positive or negative.
>>7229535I know merrivius was already pulling some numbers. He just got more popular. I've also seen meme edits of the elf comics with even more feedback
>>7229572That's pretty based
>>7227945Not really a comic but idc
>>7229635>>7229637DOODSEXHA
>>7229578It's called shadow banning. He's probably subbed to a conservative sub or some other non kosher subreddit.Posting in r/churchofcovid will get you insta banned on 90% of the front page subs.
>>7229653YWNBAW
>>7229644Ok, this is actually funny.
>>7229732I'm not trying to be a woman you on the other hand will always be a retarded niggerfaggotcopeseetheget aids
>>7227945i want to fuck the elf>>7229635>>7229637hell yeah
>>7229666>shadow bannedat least he didn't get Shadow the Hedgehogged
>>7227945>viralHow do you go viral? My guess is being unique but there's plenty of unique artists that are flops.Trendy memes sometimes work but it's rare too.
>>7227945>Where's the sequel?
>>7228129>t. ElfI wanna fuck elves so bad I'm willing to buy those fake elf ears off Amazon and make my gf use it.
>>7229578They have to be fake or manipulated. Pizzacake is *not* funny.
>>7230255it's not fake, you have to see/think in the lends of a regular person not some autistic fuck. The jokes you find funny aren't liked by the vast majority of people, but only a few people like you.
>>7229644Remove the rightmost text bubbles and it's alright
>>7230269Have you seen Pizzacake's comics? They literally never even have any joke, but every time she posts she gets to the front page of r/all. This isn't just "it's not your sense of humor" because there is no humor in those comics.
>>7229666Those idiots really have to censor everyone for their nonsense to thrive, don't they?
>>7229637With stomach like that? come on.
>>7230312>shesimpsRedditors are this pathetic
>>7227945>>7228057this uh... this sucks
>>7230511your work... post it
>>7230549uh. no. loser. lol
>>7230559Loser
>>7230501Lot's of people want to fuck people like that anon. Gay men call them bears, and women have been slobbering over the 'dad bod', women just like to pretend they don't objectify men because they want to be morally superior at all times.>>7230559Someone. needs. to. take. your. period. key. lol
Merrivus if you're reading this you should really really really really really really really make a long-form comic again like in the medibang days.Hell, just make it revolve around the elf and the human, I'm sure folks will love it. You've always been a great story teller and those tezuka award submissions were awesome.
>>7230505>simpsYou're not wrong. She also does lewds on Patreon. She is not very good looking, either.
>>7227945safe-racism, twitter loves it
>>7229414Nice
>>7230593Gays are gay while women literally don't know what dad bod and they're just salivating at built men.
Smug elf is cute
>>7230505>>7230762that's the cope answer, Ctrl+Alt+Del are the same level of quality and before the patreon number was hidden. the comic would make 12k+ a month from patreon.
idk if it counts
>>7228088Misandry isn't real, anon.
>>7230928That is a huge rectangular very high up clitty
>>7230677I'm sorry that I unleashed this elf to the world, I really thought the goblin comic was my worst comic but it ended up being the best.Not sure why the elf is so popular (cute girl?) but I'm going to use this opportunity to garner more followers so I might be able to live through Patreon in the future. Elf will probably run out of steam soon so after that I'll go back to Arlokk and others.I am planning to draw a story focused comic at some point but my health isn't the best, that's the reason why I've been doing smaller scale one off things. I also wrote and drew a 40 page children's book in 2021-2023 which it took a huge toll on me. I only recently found a small publisher for it so I still have some finishing touches to do.
>>7231035>Elf will probably run out of steam soon so after that I'll go back to Arlokk and others.nah, you're good until you manage to fuck it up and don't add new things to expand the comic's universe. There are many comics with gimmicks online that are still popular to this day. Like the nerd and jock comic as one of the biggest examples.
>>7230593except that's not a dad bod, that's being fat.
>>7229572>>7229635>>7229637
>>7231035>I really thought the goblin comic was my worst comic but it ended up being the best.This one? It was hilarious. I did my own riff on it, even.
>>7227945Never trust a knife ear
>>7232772wheres the joke
>>7231035i never pay attention to comics, but i hunted down every one i could find from this series. they just hit different, and i probably love them too much. every and any future offerings in the same line’d spike my feels of joy off the charts, dude.
>>7232789le joke is that le ugly goblino is le sad and hecking unalivedNow someone should make an edit of this comic but instead of the goblin and the elf... get this; IT'S ACTUALLY CHARACTERS FROM A POPULAR SHOW!that is peak comedy gold my fellow 4channer
>>7228913good morning sir
>>7228935>mexican furfag LARPs as based and tradoh no no no HAHAHAHA
>>7232810Nigger.
>>7232798New one today, had problems with it. Redrew and rewrote it like five times. Not my favorite style to work, I want these elf comics to be more spontaneous
>>7232810lol
>>7228935Did you manage to learn how to draw hands afterwards?
>>7229572If your art looks like crap, shock value is the only way to get noticed.
>>7230500Stop being a retard and youi won't get censored for spreading retarded nonsense.
>>7228550Give me a minute
>>7231035I'm sorry to hear it, I really am impressed with your more manga-esque work.
>>7232789>seemingly feral beast actually affected by words spoken about itCan't believe that had to be explained.>>7232810nigger
>>7230928Are we as internet users of the 21st century no longer able to appreciate something as long as it doesn’t appeal to our coom subcontious?
>>7232996>Can't believe that had to be explained.Yeah, if the last panel didn't tell me what happened, i wouldn't have gotten it that he was so emotionally affected that he died in his sleep.Funny stuff.
>>7231035i know what you are doing(keep it up!)
>>7227945I made the first issue two years ago and haven’t posted it or made another issue since. Feels bad.
>>7233167Ehhhh…That’s the one where I am going to nope for meThe creator officially jumped the shark with this one
>>7233179So you didn't get the memo about drawing for yourself
>>7232789>>7233162
>>7233185I was at the time. I don’t really have a good reason for why I stopped. It’s stupid when I think about it.
>>7233162>>7232789this is why you never ask 4chan users on what is funny, since they are too socially or autistic to even understand a simple joke or meme.
>>7232827i love you merrivus.didn’t even know it was you till i tried to find it and ended up stumbling across your fantasy comics section. i remember your posting one of them here way back and its just straight up blowing me away. your work always hits those perfect notes. i’m very glad you post here, sometimes.
>>7233186>>7233195>the punchline is>"If you don't find it funny you're autistic because look at the le heckin goblinerino getting his feefees hurt and make LE funny faces!! lmao n-word lol fucking 4channers"No mention of crabs or jealousy? You almost had me there buddy.I almost liked and subscribed.Damn, so hecking close.
>>7233241nigger wrote an actual paragraph because he got (rightfully) called autistic
>>7233274>the punchline is>"OMG HE MAD CUZ HE POST MANY WORDS AND GOT CALLED AUTISMIC HAHA GOTTEM!! HE MAD!!!"Your next joke is that you will kill my whole family? Good stuff.
Right now the punchline is (You)
>>7233283But enough about you
>>7233241i'm going to regret asking this, but show what's funny or make a joke.
>>7233195you still didnt explain where the joke is
>>7232996>feral beastpretty sure goblins can speak and understand language. and usually get shit talked all the time
>>7233167this reminds me of those 2010 reboot cartoons where every show had le epic meme faces for every joke. i think the PPG reboot was the most infamous one
>>7233241Based
>>7233274>I don’t think this joke is funny“UHM WOW OK? THAT JOKE IS FUNNY BECAUSE…BECAUSE IT IS OK!?”>it’s still not funny“WOW AUTIST MUCH? WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH? LOOK AT HOW MUCH I DONT CARE”Retard
>>7230593>women have been slobbering over the 'dad bod'Hags simp for dad bodies or built men like Aquaman actor. Young bitches simp for K-pop.
>>7233287I will kill your entire family in minecraft, in minecraft.Also you're a poopyhead.This should be your type of humor.Ah, wait, let me post some cropped porn as well.
>>7232913But I don't campaign for genital mutilation, tho.
>>7233319Jesus Christ
>>7233417figured, you aren't even confident enough on making a joke or even a meme you found funny and copped out by showing this shit. Not surprised though.
>>7233319Well how can you tell they were making a joke if they don't make epic meme faces?fucking autistic 4channers i swear
>>7233445wow this insult was so funny anonnot only did you insult me, you also totally inside my headi almost died in my sleep
>>7232910No
>>7233182You really went and made a /co/ thread for this post?
>>7233583you know you made it when you get your own schizo.
>>7233319There's a MLPFiM sheet that has like 40 examples of this comparing the more subtle expressions from the early seasons to the goofy forced-meme faces of the later ones. It's really embarassing how hord they tried to force the faces to be "iconic" and memeable.(Obviously I'm not gonna post any of it because mods are still gonna be assholes about seeing a pony, 14 years after it stopped being a problem, even if it's contextually justified.)
>>7228935>Adolfo
>>7227945Unfortunely I dont have appeal
>>7233430It doesn't matter what you think, only what you do in public. Grow up or a brain, your choice.
>>7233195Oh, please do explain the last panel, because I seriously don't see what's funny about it.I got the rest of the joke.
>>7231035End it with Elf and Hugh Man getting married.
feels good man
>>7228057>bazingafucking reddit tier humour
If you were to make a story driven comic would you make your own website for it or post it somewhere that hosts comics?
>>7227945
>>7232772Post your riff.
>>7234268Get your own domain name, and have it hosted yourself, but there are websites that alert you when they have updates you can associate with to provide tra.

>>7237663dont forget to get the black dildo you hid from dad from the closet
>>7237771eat shit, loser
>>7237663Post it.
Merrivius, my favorite comic of yours is the one with the guy who defends the tentacle monster girl from two thugs. Will you ever make more random stuff like that?
>>7237854This comic didn't do as good as last two although I like it. Tom and Jerry inspired slapstick.>>7237854I've written some parts of episode 3 but it again goes very different direction. Movie and anime parodies
>>7237904Oh, I meant will you emulate that kind of satirical humor in more standalone comics?
>>7237904You know what. My respectA different author would devolve into cursor elf waifu faggotry to. Keep the gravy train going but here we see some consistency and principles. Snoby elf gets out in its place.A dying breed
>>7237852Can't right now, I'm on the toilet. In the meantime here's a Garfield comic .
