If not, oh, you are in for a FUN ride!
Profile: Bobby Crosby
Actual Name: Robert(?) Crosby
Aliases: Pupkin, +EV
Reason(s) Listed: Will stir up shit wherever mentioned, and because the stories about him are funny as fuck
First off, let's invoke the summoning ritual! Bobby Crosby (Pupkin), Bobby Crosby (Pupkin), Bobby Crosby (Pupkin).
Okay then. Since he claims to actually follow his referrals, let's make sure you all go ahead and click the following links to his various strips from over the years: Pupkin (his first comic, and, you'll notice, the ONLY one on Keenspot, despite his brother being one of the owners), +EV (it's about online poker, and makes no sense to me, so don't expect any explanation here), Last Blood (with a recommendation from Ain't It Cool News? How could it go wrong?), and Marry Me (it's weeabootastic!). Can't say I read a single one.
So yeah. He's the brother of Chris "I live in a school" Crosby, one of the heads of Keenspot. They'll hate me for advertising that, though. Ever since a series of meltdowns on the 'Spot forums, Bobby has been effectively persona non grata there, and rumors (ah, those wonderful tales) claim he was actually paid off to stay the hell away from the company and its operations, to avoid being associated with his behavior.
Why would he do such a thing, you ask? Simple. Bobby melts down EVERY TIME HE GETS ON A FORUM. Things you can be banned for doing on his own forums (no lie) include... well, shit, lemme just quote the man himself, and then let his own crazy do the talking (post cut and paste here since it's on Something Awful, and will vanish into the ether in the future):
"They're banned for BREAKING RULES. One rule is to never tell me to "chill out" or anything like that because it's disgusting. And none of those people are supporting me. No one supports me.
Seaniccus posted: He's also banned people for being "liars," like me apparently.
Yes, like practically everyone in the world, you're a huge liar, and you lied a ton more in this thread, of course.
Seaniccus posted:
He blew up at me for misinterperting something on the last page of Last Blood, because I didn't remember a small tell in the art two pages and several days earlier.
This is your major lie -- why do you keep repeating it? At first you said it was several pages earlier and a week earlier, then I (and others) corrected you and told you that it was ONE PAGE EARLIER AND 19 HOURS EARLIER, and now this is the third time SINCE THEN that you've chosen to continue lying and say that it was several pages earlier and several days earlier.
The issue was that this guy is so insanely stupid that he didn't understand what the final line of the first GN meant, even though the obvious "clues" to it were stated three times in the previous two pages, including twice on the previous page, which went up 19 hours before the last page. He also said that it was obvious that the last line actually meant something totally different than what it actually meant, something insanely stupid and weird. When he was corrected about this, he continued to lie about it and say that he couldn't remember because the pages went up a week earlier or whatever (totally false). Extremely annoying and he wouldn't stop doing it. And what kind of idiot doesn't at least re-read the previous page (or several) when reading the final page of a story comic anyway? And then whines about it being confusing! Jeez.
Seaniccus posted: He said "Uh, because there used to be vodka in them,"
That is not a direct quote. (This is one of my favorite parts. He feels the need to clarify this. Also the same person would later find this in his cache:
)Seaniccus posted: and i called him a smart-ass
You called me a lot worse things than that, liar. He also sent me multiple e-mails that made no sense.
Seaniccus posted: i'm pretty sure he'll never get anything made with that attitude,and if he did - he would not have that kind of creative control, and he would lose his contract when he blew up at the director/producer in that manner.
I'm the director/producer and I'm funding it myself if no one else does, which was the plan from the start, as the blog post for the very first page states. Just signed a 12-month shopping agreement with Benderspink for "Last Blood."
Sulevis posted: Just so anyone not in the know knows how bad Bobby Pumpkin is: his own brother and mother had to pay him a lot of money so he'd distance himself from Keenspot.
I'm the president of Blatant Comics (been so since we started in '97), which is the comic book company that is actually making tons of money now, among the two (as compared to Keenspot, which is pure shit and always has been because they didn't listen to my advice and they basically just constantly chose for no reason to not even try to ever make money).
Tea-san posted: You just can't tell because Bobby doesn't mention who the artist of +EV is at all.
You're still telling these lies about me, asshole? You obviously know who the guy is -- ask him to show you the e-mails where I ask if he wants to use his name and where I ask if he wants me to link to his other comics, which he never even told me about -- I think I discovered them through YOU actually. Stop acting like I'm somehow intentionally not supporting him or something. He obviously doesn't want it to be public knowledge that he draws "+EV," so why the hell are you going against his wishes and somehow acting like you're supporting him?"
I know I'm stealing someone else's line here, but that is one big orange ball of crazy. (If I had to make an actual diagnosis, I'd say there might be moderate schizophrenia involved.) Want more? Shit, just look for any of the three aliases I mentioned at the top of this, and you're almost guaranteed to find something. Here's a good place to begin, he shows up on page 2.
Really, this is brief, I know, but it's about all you can say without cataloguing his meltdowns (and I somehow have a feeling the comments section will be vital for this).

Wow. This might be the craziest one you've covered yet. His forum posts are just plain hilarious.
"Pupkin (his first comic, and, you'll notice, the ONLY one on Keenspot, despite his brother being one of the owners)"
Over five years after "Pupkin" ended and people are still insanely saying that it was on Keenspot. "Pupkin" was NEVER on Keenspot or Keenspace, by my choice. I was a co-owner of Keenspot from the start and I sold my stake in the company a few years ago. Long long story that you obviously couldn't comprehend. As I said in the thread that you enjoyed so much, I'm the president of Blatant Comics, a company that is making a ton more money than Keenspot ever did. Chris takes orders from me for what Blatant Comics does.
Oh, and I'll write part of your response for you: "Wow, look how quick he showed up to continue being a big ball of crazy! What a crazy person! It's like magic!"
You know, Bobby, bobbycrosby.com does feature the Keenspot Newsbox. Plus it was part of that goofy newspaper comics page Keen experimented with. Easy to see how someone how someone might, shall we say, draw certain conclusions.
Wow. He sounds exactly the same here as he does in the posts you quoted. It's like he's just mentally incapable of writing a single post that isn't unbelievably confrontational and arrogant.
Seriously, Bob, do you actually WANT the whole world to hate you? That's the only explanation I can come up with for the attitude you seem to bring to every post you write.
Oh my.
Is he one of those people who validate existense on the internet by having one gear (the gear being rage) all the time, or is he one of those angry americans?
i'm confused now.
hahaha, bobby crosby is such a fucking faggot it's almost sad.
"Easy to see how someone how someone might, shall we say, draw certain conclusions."
The name "Pupkin" has never once been mentioned or listed on keenspot.com and it's never been in any dropdown links on Keenspot sites or anything like that. And yes, it's easy to see how complete morons can draw certain conclusions and state them as facts without taking two seconds to check them out.
"It's like he's just mentally incapable of writing a single post that isn't unbelievably confrontational"
Do you honestly have no clue what this blog is about? Laughably stupid to describe anything I say in the comments for this blog post as "confrontational."
yeah right, and all the nations love George W. Bush.
Do you honestly have no clue what this blog is about? Laughably stupid to describe anything I say in the comments for this blog post as "confrontational."
So you see that this blog is trying to provoke you into joining a flame-fest with the other posters here, and yet here you are, jumping into the fray anyway. You really enjoy being mocked and insulted, don't you?

I'm correcting lies obviously, which is how I spend 90% of my time on the internet, it seems, since everyone in the world is such a huge liar and they lie even more online. It annoys me.

Everything anyone needs to know about Bobby Crosby and his personality, conveniently summed up in one sentence.
Now my only question is, which one of these people does Bobby most closely resemble? I'd say he seems like one of these five guys, or possibly a combination of all of them.
Wow, look how quick he showed up to continue being a big ball of crazy! What a crazy person! It's like magic!
Never mind Tangents, THIS guy reminds me of Derek Smart.
Please seek professional help, Bobby Crosby =(
Hmmm... A DNS lookup of "www.bobbycrosby.com" reveals its IP to be 66.220.2.5; a revese DNS lookup of this IP resolves to "five.keenspot.com" (TLD of "keenspot.com"). Please explain why "Pupkin" is hosted from a Keenspot server, if it is not a Keenspot comic.
He has another hilarious meltdown episode in the Original Fiction section of "Godawful Fanfiction" (GAFF.) You should check it out; it's pure comedy gold. He claims a movie will be made of "Last Blood", for instance, if all goes "right."
He actually said this there: I honestly believe that I'm better at taking criticism than anyone ever born.
"Please explain why 'Pupkin' is hosted from a Keenspot server, if it is not a Keenspot comic."
There are dozens of websites hosted on the Keenspot server that aren't Keenspot comics. I was a co-owner of Keenspot and we obviously had access to the server, so we used it. I don't understand how this is still being talked about somehow.
"He claims a movie will be made of 'Last Blood', for instance, if all goes 'right.' "
There is zero chance of a "Last Blood" movie not being made and I've never said it would be made only if "all goes right." It will be made no matter what. I'll be making it myself within 18 months if it's not set up on a larger scale before then.
Has anyone been able to say anything about Bobby that he hasn't refuted as lies or misinterpretation or idiocy?
Something's seriously wrong with this guy if he really thinks every single piece of information on the internet about him or his comics absolutely has to be 100 percent accurate.
I'm correcting lies obviously, which is how I spend 90% of my time on the internet, it seems, since everyone in the world is such a huge liar and they lie even more online. It annoys me.
Unwitting self-parody is great.
There are dozens of websites hosted on the Keenspot server that aren't Keenspot comics.
I notice that you use "websites" and not "comics"; obviously non-comic websites are not Keenspot comics because they're not comics. Was that a brainfart?
Name six of these "dozens" of websites?
Why should Keenspot host comics/websites that are not part of Keenspot?
What's the difference between a non-Keenspot comic hosted on Keenspot servers and real Keenspot comics?
I was a co-owner of Keenspot and we obviously had access to the server, so we used it.
The operative word is "was". Past tense. You are no longer part of Keenspot and no longer have any control over its executive decisions. If "Pupkin" is not a Keenspot comic, it could go at any moment. Why haven't you moved "Pupkin" to your own servers where it will be safe?
Also, if you were co-owner of Keenspot at the time of Pupkin's first comic on July 1, 2002, why didn't you have your own comic sponsored by a comic-hosting site that you were co-owner of at the time? If you had sold your stake by that time, why would Keenspot give you server resources for your unaffiliated comic?
The answers to all of Wyrm's questions are "Who the fuck cares?" It was a 100% pointless thing, bobbycrosby.com, and it hasn't been updated in years. None of these decisions about where to host it meant anything -- it's not like it mattered in any conceivable way except to crazy people like you who for some reason care a ton about it and are still asking questions about it five years later. The answer is that it was the easiest thing, required the least effort. It wasn't a Keenspot comic because it was just random shit I thought up each night because I was bored and there was no reason to put that shit on Keenspot. Very few Keenspot comics have actually started directly on Keenspot with their first strip. "Pupkin" only lasted six months. Hardly any Keenspot comics have been on Keenspot in their first six months.

If you really thought that, why are you making a big deal about whether "Pupkin" was on Keenspot or not?
The answer, of course, is that for some bizarre reason, you do care. You don't want any of your comics associated with Keenspace, even though "Pupkin" is hosted on a Keenspot server, on the same C-level subnet as other Keenspot comics, links to the Keenspot forums, has Keenspot ads, ect. Looks like a duck, and such.
And yes, nobody really cares about "Pupkin", really... except you. Your first comment here is to single out this egregious wrong about getting the affiliation of "Pupkin" wrong. You 'corrected' us, and then immediately went to wanking your Blatant Comics. Like we give a shit about how much money its making.
Your explanations do not ring true. Your tone is not one of an honest man.
I'm done.
Will you just shut up already?
Where do you get off thinking anybody gives a crap about what you think? Do you have any idea how wrong you are? I mean where do you get your facts? Some blog "written" by a fat, out-of-work drunk living in a FEMA-condemned hovel with a toaster oven and a microwave who can't shit two words together and steals Internet access from the KFC down the street? Debunking your points are almost not even worth the effort, but, well, fuck it. One Google search and three minutes later and I prove you wrong Here, Here, and Here.
In fact, I've already taken you to the shed myself. So don't even go there.
Honestly, reading your junk turns my stomach. You come off like a spoiled Italian Tour Guide with bad shoes, spouting off nonsense like a broken sprinkler without the good sense to avail yourself of a Slip 'N Slide. Do you actually believe the bowel movements you churn out? Like that one about how we all just need to look at the problem like you do? As if you are looking at anything other than a collage of miasma. You remind me of a Speak 'N Spell on low battery power, you WANT to make a point, you TRY to make a point, but you just.. don't.. have.. the.. ability.
I'd openly mock you, but I'm busy eating my couscous.
You know what your problem is? You think you're not a total, fucking idiot. But you are. Everything you say, everything you write just proves, again and again, what a total blowhole you are. And don't get me started on your little pet theory. I mean I've banged my head against substances smarter than that. I've crapped ideas with more intellect than that one. My pet ferret has humped random water dispensers with more brains than you.
Still, I have to give credit where credit is due.
So guess I don't have to give you any credit.
I mean your most ridiculously obvious grand point has been done to death, proven wrong time and again, and turned into a late night skit featuring Jack Black and Howie Mandel. Why do you even bother? God, I clicked over with the same eagerness you get when you pass an accident. You KNOW there are gonna be bodies, but you HAVE to look, because you just don't see TRIPE like this every day.
I want to take a moment to point out one specific instance of idiocy in your grand opus of stupidity. While making your larger point, you sited that one example. Well first, that guy's a raving cock-twit, and he has about as much credibility as Jack Palance on Viagra. Second, if you really look at the facts (novel concept for you, I know) you'll see that only a total reamer like yourself would come to your conclusion. I mean the numbers just don't support your hopeless case. They friggin' REFUTE it!
HOW DUMB ARE YOU?
I've probably made you cry by now. I don't care. You should cry. Cry forgiveness for the 2 minutes and 37 seconds I spent reading your literary sewage that I'll never get back. It's a part of my life you stole, you rat bastard. I hope you're happy. Actually no, I hope you choke on your dog's penis and drown. Except that might be cruel to the dog.
Thanks for reading.
Ahahaha, this guy's so far around the bend that his psyche would probably resemble a corkscrew.
I read all the entries on Solomon's blog, but so far I haven't seen a single human being that's this utterly, out-and-out psychotic.
And people continue to impersonate me. Obviously that last post is NOT FROM ME, ugh.
Yeah, I don't think it's from him. It doesn't quote anyone else's post, and it doesn't have his picture next to it. It does seem to be written by someone with a similar attitude, though.
Bobby, chill out.
Actually, I seem to recall someone posting that exact same spiel on one of Solomon's posts. It's kind of weird how well it fits onto this page, though.
yeah, it's almost a perfect parody of bobby, isn't it? i hate to think there are actually two people who think like that out there.
It sounds absolutely nothing like me in any way.
It sounds absolutely nothing like me in any way.
Sure. Just keep telling yourself that. Of COURSE it sounds nothing like you, because you've NEVER said anything on an internet forum that would make people think you're an arrogant cuntflap.
OH, WAIT.
Yeah.
I'm really not convinced that you didn't write that, because it reads like EXACTLY the sort of thing you would say after a drink or two. Face it, you're just another troll here. You're just more entertaining than other trolls because you don't shut up. Even after the conversation is dead in the water, you come back to spew more frothy stupidity at us.
I love it. I really do. Keep it up; I haven't had this much fun reading internet drama in weeks.
Almost 100% sure that the person who wrote the last post is the same one who wrote the comment impersonating me. Also, I've never had any alcohol in my life and only total fucking morons could possibly think that the fake post was written by me, for about a trillion different reasons. To name just one, I have a long history of responding directly to what people say (as someone mentioned already, I'm constantly quoting people) and the fake post didn't even reference a single real thing and could have been written by anyone to anyone about anything. Also, the amount of different types of insults I use is very small -- "total fucking morons," "complete idiots," "retarded morons with no brains in their heads" -- that's about it, and it never gets any grosser than that. Certainly never say things about dogs' penises or whatever the fake post said. There's also a long history of people pretending to be me in forums. Been hundreds of imposters through the years.
I think that Anonymous is just reposting "I Hate Your Post" by this guy, who is a funnier writer than Bobby will ever be.
"I'm correcting lies obviously, which is how I spend 90% of my time on the internet, it seems, since everyone in the world is such a huge liar and they lie even more online. It annoys me."
Jesus fucking Christ.
You're a genuine crazy. I never thought I'd actually meet one on the internet. I mean there's the annoying "zany" asshole who shout things like "penguin!" whenver the mood strikes them, then there's the fake crazies who like to pretend they're actually dangerous by ripping descriptions of gore straight out of A Clockwork Orange. But you're one of those rare legitimate paranoid-schizophrenics that lurk the darkest parts of the internet.
Seek help.
Damn, second post! This guy's like speedy gonzales, only crazy instead of a mouse. And he's not even depressing crazy, he's funny crazy, like those guys on street corners screaming about Jesus.
Hahaha, oh man. The only thing that could spoil this fun is if it turned out Crosby wasn't a prank character or something.
Still waiting on the big punchline reveal! 's gonna be great!
please, please be a prank, bobby crosby. I'll wait forever for that punchline.
~just . . . dies~
Oh, my gawd. This guy is a freaking nut; the comments section alone had me laughing so hard I nearly cried. Whining about "liars" and "morons" on the 'net, when his own posts read like some of the most wheedling, self-wanking idiots to grace the typed word . . . yeah, Bobby, you're right, the world really is out to get you. Though, on the bright side, you've managed to amuse me more than Tangents, so I guess you win that.
Hey, Bobby can be short for Robert. Two of the biggest nitwits in webcomics, and they both share the same name. What're the odds?
This post certainly has taught me a lesson. I'd better google my name and see if someone on the internet has made slight exaggerations about me.
Bobby hasn't posted in a while. Maybe he'll come back if we tell more lies about him. I'll start:
Bobby Crosby invented the bolt-action rifle, liquor, sexual intercourse, and football-- in that order.
Bobby Crosby grinds his coffee with his teeth and boils the water with his own rage.
Bobby Crosby does not own a house. He walks into random houses and people move.
Google won't search for Bobby Crosby because it knows you don't find Bobby Crosby, he finds you.
...okay, I'm done. He's not crazy enough to actually respond to this, right?
Also, the amount of different types of insults I use is very small -- "total fucking morons," "complete idiots," "retarded morons with no brains in their heads" -- that's about it, and it never gets any grosser than that. Certainly never say things about dogs' penises or whatever the fake post said.
"Why yes, I AM an asshole to all the strangers I meet on the internet. Just not a GROSS asshole." Combine that with Bobby's habit of banning people who actually like his comics and try to support him on his own forums, and you really do have one big orange ball of crazy. Seriously, what the hell's wrong with this guy?
Bobby Crosby sure is a hilarious retard.
You said: "and Marry Me (it's weeabootastic!). Can't say I read a single one."
The artist, Remy Mohktar, is from Malaysia. Japanese anime/manga style is the norm over there, so there is a reason why Mohktar's art looks like that. You can still say "Well, I don't think the author should have used Mohktar."
And I am not making any judgments over whether the comic is any good.
BTW here is a review of "Marry Me" - The reviewer liked Parker Webber and the art but he did not like the other aspects, so he gave it 2 out of 5: http://webcomicoverlook.wordpress.com/2007/09/04/the-webcomic-overlook-7-marry-me/
Bobby Crosby once beat a man to death on the steps of a church with a table leg.
Also, hilariously enough, the art of Marry Me is the only part that Bobby's fat, grease-covered fingers aren't in. I'm pretty amazed he got someone as good as Eisu to do his art.
Probably threatened to kill the poor guy's dog.
i actually enjoyed pupkin yknow, it makes me sad to find out the dude who made it is all weird and stuff
then again remembering what crazy stuff actually happened in the pupkin storyline maybe i should not be surprised???

Bobby Crosby's brother, Chris Crosby, is cofounder of Keenspot.
"You know, Bobby, bobbycrosby.com does feature the Keenspot Newsbox. Plus it was part of that goofy newspaper comics page Keen experimented with. Easy to see how someone how someone might, shall we say, draw certain conclusions"
He also at one time had the Keenspot banner on his website. It was only taken down after I brought it to the attention of his mommy. Hilariously, he accused me of costing Keenspot revenue for adspace on a comic that was "never part of Keenspot". LOL!
Bobbo Says:
"And yes, it's easy to see how complete morons can draw certain conclusions and state them as facts without taking two seconds to check them out."
...But notice how easy it would have been at the time to conclude that his comic was a part of Keenspot. Being part owner of Keenspot at the time, it would have been perfectly logical to assume that Pupkin was part of Keenspot. Why would anyone stop to "check it out". Nobody would ever logically stop to think, "Wait, what if that banner isn't actually supposed to be there?".
I love how Bobby faults people for making perfectly logical conclusions.
...I'm surprised Bobby hasn't come here to tell the "correct" version of that story. I posted this story on my own blog a long time ago about the day Bobby's Keenspot banner came down.
Of course, he's going to point out that in my own original blog post, I made the HORRIBLE MISTAKE of saying that his comic was on Keenspot, for which he labeled me a "liar" and a "moron". Gee, sound familiar?
And what's funnier than that is that when I ammended the post and admitted that I was WRONG, he accused me of being a liar again, because "changed my story".
So, even when you tell the truth and admit that you made a mistake, Bobby still finds a way to accuse you of lying.
You know, it's like crying wolf, Bobby. When you accuse EVERYONE of lying, then it kind of loses its punch. Not to mention the fact that it's explicitly libelous, and it wouldn't take more than a quick sweep of pretty much every comic forum ever to find examples of Bobby being defamatory for no particular reason other than to be a douche.
Absolutely nothing that neil said makes any sense and nothing that he said about me is true. It's scary how obsessed some people are with me over absolutely pointless nonsense that they'd tell all these lies for years and years over absolutely nothing of interest just to try to piss me off. And the stupidity of neil's comments just now, WOW. Just total nonsense with every sentence contradicting the previous one and just a huge HUH??? It would take an hour to go over each line and explain how they make no sense on any level.
"It's scary how obsessed some people are with me over absolutely pointless nonsense that they'd tell all these lies for years and years over absolutely nothing of interest just to try to piss me off."
See, there you go again, Bobby. Everyone knows from dealing with you EXACTLY what I'm talking about. You completely overreact with people and accuse them of lying when they're doing no such thing. You have an abbrasive attitude with people, and if you'd take a moment to be civil, you'd realize how reasonable people can be.
And everything I said was true. You know damn well that you overreacted with me and countless other people. You fly off the handle over the littlest shit.
"It would take an hour to go over each line and explain how they make no sense on any level."
Correction, it would take you an hour to find a way to spin my entire story so that you can call me an idiot and a liar for ever having dared to think that Pupkin was on Keenspot.
My point was that it's relatively easy to see how people could mistake Pupkin for a Keenspot comic. It was on the Keenspot server. That alone would tell most web illiterate that it's a Keenspot comic, and yet you fault them for not investigating further, as if anyone would!
It's such a trivial thing, and yet you completely overreact to everyone who makes the same mistake. I mean, it's a comic that's been dead for what, five years? You're obviously doing much better for yourself. I've seen your new comics. Last I heard, you're making a movie, right? Good for you!
People are going to continue making this mistake about Pupkin. It's not that big of a deal. you act as if Pupkin's association with Keenspot somehow tarnishes what you're doing now. And obviously, it doesn't.
Take it as a completement that people are even still talking about it. Whether they liked it or hated it, it's still topical. That's pretty amazing.
Just relax. Jesus christ.
...But don't get me wrong, Bob. I'm aware that this is all part of your anger schtick. If you didn't overreact and accuse everyone of lying or being stupid, you wouldn't be America's Sweetheart.
"My point was that it's relatively easy to see how people could mistake Pupkin for a Keenspot comic. It was on the Keenspot server. That alone would tell most web illiterate that it's a Keenspot comic, and yet you fault them for not investigating further, as if anyone would!"
This is where you constantly contradict yourself and make no sense. You're somehow telling me that it's easier to do digging and find out that it's hosted on the Keenspot SERVER than to simply go to KEENSPOT.COM and see that "Pupkin" has never been listed there as one of the Keenspot comics or mentioned in any way at all??? It's impossible for anyone with a brain to have ever thought "Pupkin" was on Keenspot. You're making me repeat all of this just for fun to annoy me.
Bobby "I Google My Name Every Day" Crosby says:
"You're somehow telling me that it's easier to do digging and find out that it's hosted on the Keenspot SERVER than to simply go to KEENSPOT.COM"
No, Bobby. As I had already pointed out, the Keenspot logo was right at the top of your page. And even today, the Keenspot newsbox is still there.
At no time did I even mention going to the trouble of looking up your DNS. You inserted that context into what I said yourself.
It was a good try, though.
...and before you try to put more words in my mouth, Bobby, I just want to point out that having the Keenspot banner at the top of your page was a direct indication that you were on the Keenspot server. That's basically what I've been saying to you all along. That is the reason why MOST people (I realize someone else brought up your DNS) think that Pupkin was on Keenspot.
Do you understand what I'm saying now?
Jesus. As I recall, the banner was only up for a short while and I'm 99% sure the newsbox was only put up years after the strip ended. Throughout the majority of the run of the strip, there was absolutely nothing Keenspot related on bobbycrosby.com and morons like you were still constantly saying that it was a Keenspot or Keenspace comic.
Also, what don't you understand about the simple fact that it was never mentioned in any way on Keenspot.com, where all Keenspot comics are listed??? We're obviously not talking about random passersby to the comic who for some reason want to say that the comic was on Keenspot (why would that ever happen???) -- we're talking about people like you who go crazy about shit for no reason and write up articles like this nonsense about me and obviously have all the time in the entire fucking world to research shit about me, like analyzing every single post I make on forums and whining about them, but they don't have time to go to the main site of Keenspot.com to see that it isn't/wasn't on Keenspot??? Don't have time to do the most obvious thing possible to check to see if it's a Keenspot comic or not??? Who the fuck cares if "certain signs indicate it might be a Keenspot comic" when you can just go to KEENSPOT.COM and see if it is or not??? Jeez, what the fuck! Fucking morons everywhere, everyone just fucking retarded.
Bobbycrosby.com was put on the Keenspot server years before "Pupkin" started and there was simply no reason to change that when the comic started up. After the comic became popular someone apparently complained about it being on the Keenspot server but not running Keenspot ads, so the banner (with ads) was added so that it wouldn't be using Keenspot bandwidth or whatever without making money for Keenspot. Then apparently people like you complained about it having the banner without being an official Keenspot comic and for some reason the banner was then removed. All of this was TOTALLY POINTLESS, but lots of insane losers like you wanted to whine about pointless things for no reason and continue to six years later.
Also, when people mention that "Pupkin" was a Keenspot comic, they often do it in the context of "That's why it was popular, because Bobby's brother owned Keenspot and got it on Keenspot," but being on the Keenspot server doesn't give any benefit at all. The benefit of being on Keenspot is the links from Keenspot.com and being in the dropdown menu on all the other Keenspot sites, which "Pupkin" never was. It has at times got the drawbacks of being on Keenspot, having to run Keenspot ads and the Keenspot newsbox and link to all other Keenspot comics in the dropdown, without any of the benefits.
I have no idea why any of this is ever being talked about. My only guess is because people just can't admit they're wrong about something and they'll do anything to avoid it. Tons of people have wrongfully assumed it was on Keenspot (or Keenspace, tons of those too) and when I point out "No, it's not/wasn't," people insanely decide to argue that until the end of time.
Oh, Bobby. You're so adorable.
"Throughout the majority of the run of the strip, there was absolutely nothing Keenspot related on bobbycrosby.com and morons like you were still constantly saying that it was a Keenspot or Keenspace comic."
Only by mistake. Once I understood that I was wrong, I stopped saying that, didn't I? Yes I did.
"Also, what don't you understand about the simple fact that it was never mentioned in any way on Keenspot.com, where all Keenspot comics are listed???"
Bobby, don't try to change the subject. I'm merely pointing out that it was an easy mistake to make.
And the banner wasn't the only reason for assuming that you were on Keen. People know who you are, after all, and they knew you owned part of Keenspot. Your last name is Crosby. They know you're Chris' wacktacular little brother on whom a Superosity character is based. What's so hard to understand about people assuming that you had a Keenspot comic based on who you are?
You're also not considering that some ignorant people don't understand the subtle difference between being hosted by Keenspot and actually being a Keen comic. I certainly didn't understand that at the time, myself.
People make these mistakes, Bobby. What, do you think that it's a conspiracy that people are trying to associate Pupkin with Keenspot?
"Also, when people mention that "Pupkin" was a Keenspot comic, they often do it in the context of "That's why it was popular, because Bobby's brother owned Keenspot and got it on Keenspot," but being on the Keenspot server doesn't give any benefit at all."
Yes, an erroneous assumption. We all know that it's your delightful personality that made Pupkin so topical.
...I'm being facetious, of course.
"My only guess is because people just can't admit they're wrong about something and they'll do anything to avoid it."
Bobby. I've been upfront with you in admitting that I was wrong in my assumption, but it was a simple error on my part.
Seriously though, Bob. You overreact to these things. Whether or not Pupkin was a Keenspot comic, and whether or not people think that contributed to its success is TRIVIAL compared to what you're doing now. You're doing good things these days. Keep it up. Don't worry about what people are saying about Pupkin. It doesn't matter.
Best of luck to ya, Bob. Just learn to relax, okay? You're going to give yourself an ulcer.
"Bobby, don't try to change the subject. I'm merely pointing out that it was an easy mistake to make."
What the hell? How in the world is it "changing the subject" to point out that all someone had to do was go to KEENSPOT.COM and see that "Pupkin" is nowhere to be found to find out that it's not on Keenspot? That's what makes it an EXTREMELY DIFFICULT mistake to make obviously, jeez. For the millionth fucking time. There's no conceivable way for you to argue against that, so all you do is ignore it and repeat your same nonsense about servers.
"I certainly didn't understand that at the time, myself."
Wow, are you serious? If so, that means you basically just said "I'd like to announce that I have absolutely no brain in my head whatsoever and I should kill myself."
"Seriously though, Bob. You overreact to these things."
Pieces of shit like you lie about me and I correct the lies and then they have the audacity to argue against the plain facts for forever and tell more lies and say disgusting wrong shit about me. I don't care in any way what the subject is, whether it's "Pupkin" or "Last Blood" or some pointless shit I did when I was two years old -- I hate lies and liars and retarded assholes like you and I'll argue about it however the fuck I want.
"Just learn to relax, okay?"
Kill yourself.
Jesus Burger-Flippin' Christ this guy is nuts.
I swear, if his immediate family weren't the owners of Keenspot, he'd be living on the street growling at people for change, instead of being allowed to write a comic.
I'm not even bothering to address him directly, or argue with him, because it's pointless. He makes JDR and all those gender-switching furry fetish cartoonists look well-adjusted by comparison.
The three sources (newsbox, dropdown and main page) don't match each other, and it's easy to confuse a comic's or author's history when you don't spend every waking minute agonizing over your family's business holdings. And did you know that lots of casual readers don't bother to check out the main page because they have other comics to read and/or depend on the dropdown?
For example, Alien Dice is back on the dropdown despite the author leaving a while ago (and she still hosted other comics there). There are a number of comics that are featured in the newsbox and hosting the bar that apparently aren't part of Keenspot. 5ideways.com is the first off the top of my head.
I see that +EV is on the dropdown now. You know that just makes the whole "association" (and face it, there is an association, even if it doesn't fit some legal definition) thing worse, right? If you're making more money than Keen ever did, why don't you just cut all ties already?
Silly me, I went by the dropdown. I'm going to read the whole dang article on the main page, but I see that all three of your current comics have joined Keenspot.
Well, at least now maybe you'll be more forgiving of future readers who are mistaken about Pupkin, since the rest of you is all but grafted to big brother's side. You know there's a new generation of webcomic readers like, every month, right?
Absolutely nothing that anonymous or azzev said made any sense. Just total gibberish that ignored everything I said in my comments and all logic in general.
For the billionth time, I don't give a shit about an association with Keenspot. I'm upset about sickening lies. If someone said I had won an Olympic gold medal, I'd be responding in the exact same way, which is "No, I didn't," and then if they keep somehow arguing the point like so many people do about this nonsense, it would eventually lead to obviously calling people retarded pieces of shit.
Some people (at least two) are so insanely stupid, by the way, that they've literally thought I was Oakland A's shortstop Bobby Crosby and that he made comics in his spare time. I'm one of the biggest baseball fans in the world and would obviously love to be a major league player, but I'd refute those associations in the same way if they crazily kept insisting I was or said that they had "good reason" to think I was, and their reasoning would be similarly "solid" to thinking "Pupkin" was on Keenspot. All you morons do is make incorrect pointless assumptions instead of just reading what I'm fucking saying and taking that at face value. Most of you are probably just doing it for fun to piss me off, but some of you, like neil, are just insanely retarded and have even less of a life than I do somehow to spend time on this shit when it doesn't even involve you in any way.
So, bobby.
Why are your comics suddenly on Keenspot?
Just curious, since you didn't mention why in your retort to Azzev.
And yes, I read the front page article.
I just want to hear it from your point of view - so to speak.
More money obviously. Just a big link exchange. More readers equals more pageviews equals more adviews equals more money. More WOWIO downloads as well, which also equals more money. "Marry Me" had over 20,000 uniques yesterday and about 130,000 pageviews because of the newsbox (normal Thursday for "Marry Me" is only about 10,000 uniques). "+EV" will get even more pageviews than that today because of the newsbox, and then "Last Blood" will do similar when it gets its newsbox (don't know when). Refused to be a part of Keenspot while Darren and Nate were part owners, but now that they're gone I agreed to it.
I see. Thank you for the explanation, Bobby.
Chances are most of the people who bring up your Keen connections (fictional or not) are getting the information second-hand or more, so it isn't lies or libel, it's just misinformation.
That's what I was referring to about you hopefully being more forgiving in the future. Either calmly explain, like you just did in your last post, or treat them as trolls and don't feed them.
"Chances are most of the people who bring up your Keen connections (fictional or not) are getting the information second-hand or more, so it isn't lies or libel, it's just misinformation."
No, that's nonsense, as I've explained in several comments on this damn page, but you've skipped them all obviously or refused to comprehend them. When someone's making me the focus of one of their blog posts with the title of "Profile: Bobby Crosby" and they're taking the time to read through tons of posts of mine on some forum and attempt to retardedly analyze them, they can't take two seconds to check and get their facts straight on something while trying to strangely make some point (don't know what the point was) about "Pupkin" being the only comic of mine on Keenspot? It just makes no sense and it's either a lie or the act of a retarded person. No other possible answer. Also, I rarely say anything mean whatsoever on this topic until people refuse to believe it wasn't on Keenspot or they very stupidly try to make it sound like they had every reason to believe it was on Keenspot -- you know, other than the fact that it was never on Keenspot.com or a million other "clues" that they could so easily check before writing up garbage about me. People refuse to ever just say "Oh, my mistake, I made a stupid assumption" like an honest person would say. They make up bullshit to try to make it sound like they weren't idiots because they're horrible liars.
Once again, there's no such thing as a "casual reader" claiming that "Pupkin" was on Keenspot. Why in the world would a casual reader care about that in any way or know anything about me to somehow falsely make that assumption in the first place? You're saying the same nonsense neil said about this where he contradicted himself over and over. The only people who say "Pupkin" was on Keenspot are huge haters of mine, most of whom are/were so fucking stupid that they are/were resenting something that never even happened.
"...they can't take two seconds to check and get their facts straight on something while trying to strangely make some point (don't know what the point was) about "Pupkin" being the only comic of mine on Keenspot?"
Replace the word "on" with "connected to" and you get the same conclusions, only factual. Keenspot is just a vague entity to most, and people who aren't obsessive completists tend to take at face value the Keenpost ads/bar, plus that forum title "Classic Keenspot: Comics that ended, went on hiatus, or left." Nothing about random leeches, there.
And if you really "don't give a shit about [what people think about Pupkin's] association with Keenspot" then you wouldn't care what people thought or said about it, and wouldn't feel a need to correct them or even respond.
Note: In my first quote there, I assumed you were referring to Pupkin, and so I addressed that.
Obviously, you do give a shit about some sort of association with Keenspot; otherwise you wouldn't be there now.
Once again azzev just completely ignores everything I've said and says a bunch of retarded nonsense.
"And if you really 'don't give a shit about [what people think about Pupkin's] association with Keenspot' then you wouldn't care what people thought or said about it, and wouldn't feel a need to correct them or even respond."
You skipped the million times where I said I hate all lies and that I'm correcting lies and where I said that I'd be acting the same way if people were lying about me to put me in a good light?
"Obviously, you do give a shit about some sort of association with Keenspot; otherwise you wouldn't be there now."
Confused. It was 100% clear to anyone with a brain that when I said I don't give a shit about an association with Keenspot I meant that I'm not upset simply because people are associating me with Keenspot, which is what you and others were wrongly assuming, and shouldn't the fact that I just joined Keenspot prove that you were very wrong with that assumption??? Instead you try to insanely spin it like Bill O'Reilly and change the meaning of the words and say that I do care about it because I joined it, WOW.
Yeah, I allowed myself to get emotional, becoming focused on your more vocal and jumbled tirades rather than addressing your actual inconsistencies.
In doing so, I allowed myself to be dragged down to your level, and for that I apologize.
It will not happen again.
I will give you $10,000 today if you can point out a single time that I even came close to being inconsistent in the comments on this page.
I'm not gonna lie, it's kind of astounding how many times Bobby has managed to say "everything (blank) said makes absolutely no sense" or a similar statement.
Additionally, I have to say right now, I truly am a fan of Last Blood, but Bobby? Your behavior when it comes to the comment section convinces me that you truly are the biggest asshole to ever make internet fame.
Undoubtedly you'll respond with something along the lines of "you're retarded, and I don't care what retards think". My response to that is this Mr. Crosby, you're an asshole and I don't care what assholes think.
I'm the nicest person ever born by far as a fact.
...And yet you hate all lies.
Nice people are supposed to like lies?
Not necessarily, but there is a little clause about (to paraphrase it in context) hating the lies, and not the liars. Nice people tend to try to work their problems out non-violently, including calmly correcting "liars" rather than unleashing a torrent of self-righteous anger, whether verbal or physical.
If the liars still don't listen, the nice person usually knows enough to go elsewhere and leave them to their mistaken beliefs, knowing that the truth will come out in the end/karma will take care of it/etc. In fact, nice people are rarely equated with being self-righteous. Sometimes, they even try to see things from the liars' point of view first.
Some nice people have even been known to extend their niceness to the point of taking verbal and/or physical abuse, or even dying, rather than fighting someone over what they believe to be right.
LOL. Did you somehow think I was being serious when I said I was the nicest person ever born as a fact? You've got some serious comprehension problems, just like everyone else posting here.
Yes Bobby it's them who have the problems! The Evil Ones! The Comment Skippers! The misinformed! snarksnasnasnasnarfsnark
+Ev shows up on the Keenspot RSS feed thing.
Wow! I am so thrilled to find that I am not the only one who thinks this man is nuts. I've been lurking the comments of Marry Me, amazed, for weeks.
I would like to point out that there is usually a large gap between comment numbers on the most recent MM comment pages... I wonder how many critical posts are never approved by "Bobby Banhammer"?
I got banned several days ago, by the way. I asked why we can't discuss the comic without getting banned and discussed another commenter's postcolonial reading of MM.
The scary thing is the huge cult following he's getting... people who are either afraid he'll stop writing the comic if they criticize him or who naturally gravitate to overwhelming assholery, I guess?
Link to my post for those who are interested - Bobby's reply is a few down:
http://www.marrymemovie.com/main/2008/04/02/page-68-probably-not-married/#comment-12708
Yeah, it wasn't that long ago (a year and a half?) that he acted normally, even civilly, to just about everyone; but at some point it's like something snapped. I had started reading the Last Blood and Marry Me comments again, and just as I was thinking that maybe he just acts crazy to piss off bloggers like Fletcher, there's another wave of banning and invective against even legitimate fans.
Sure, creators have a right to be annoyed when umpteen people don't read the comments and ask the same questions, but how many blow up at them like he does? Fame draws "idiots," and Bobby's only a fraction as famous as he wants to be. At this rate, I think I'll predict an aneurism by next year as horror-movie-buffs start commenting/Last Blood fans start complaining about the changes in the script.
Or maybe it was three years ago. I'm pretty sure he was civil at some point... or at least that words like "lies," "slander," "banned," "obviously" and "constantly" (and other words people use when they're convinced they're right) were not as prevalent in his vocabulary.
azzev, why do you insist on lying about me so much? What do you get out of it? A simple Google search will show you that I used those words MUCH MORE many years ago. In fact, all you have to do is read the comments on this page and in the original blog post here and click on links and such to see that many years ago basically everything I said on the internet involved screaming at the top of my lungs at piece of shit morons like you. I'm acting a million times nicer now in general than I did six years ago when I made "Pupkin."
"Wow! I am so thrilled to find that I am not the only one who thinks this man is nuts. I've been lurking the comments of Marry Me, amazed, for weeks."
As I told you before, if you've been reading the comments, then you would have known instantly that you're "not the only one," since a large percentage of the MM comments are filled with pieces of shit like you whining about me for no reason.
"I would like to point out that there is usually a large gap between comment numbers on the most recent MM comment pages... I wonder how many critical posts are never approved by 'Bobby Banhammer'?"
This is a total lie. About one or two comments per page are disallowed and almost all of those are from banned members who previously were allowed to say their nonsense bullshit for a while before they went too far and bogged down the comments with just whining about me. I allow more negative comments than any other comic writer, I'm sure. Most would have certainly never allowed your lying bullshit to go up, for one example.
"Sure, creators have a right to be annoyed when umpteen people don't read the comments and ask the same questions, but how many blow up at them like he does?"
Never in my life have I blown up at someone for asking a repeated question. The recent blowups have been towards people who have called me RACIST for my writing in "Marry Me." It's sickening shit.
By the way, the reason for gaps in comment numbers is because of spam and because of people posting on previous pages (mostly because of spam). I can't recall not allowing an actual non-spam comment to go up on Page 68, but there might have been one. Definitely hasn't been more than one.
I did amend my post to be more skeptical, and I was mostly going by your Pupkin forum (because it showed your interactions with fans), which apparently had few dissenters, so your cheery "Thank you for loving Pupkin!" style one-liners were more visible. And even back in 2005, many of your replies that could have been more about the "Lies!" were not, and most of your hate/arguments were spent on big names like Kurtz and their supporters. And who hasn't disagreed with big names like Kurtz at one time or another?
Like this exchange:
"i found out bobby was banned from the space forums. i thought that was HILARIOUS.
its amazing how dead these forums are actually."
Pupkin: "I was never banned from the Keenspace forums, although a lot of people have strangely said that, like you just did. Unless it just happened in the past couple weeks or so since I've been there, and I haven't posted there in years, as I recall."
So you appeared more civil, or possibly more patient, more often than you are now. You also didn't bother to research, or tell them to do their own research; you didn't rail against "everyone" making the same assumption, and you even allowed that the assertion could be true.
Anyway, do you really think we (and all trolls, ogres, or whatever) care if you jump through hoops to respond to us, when you could just ignore us like most sensible people who have better things to do? It's the internet, man.
Everything you just said is nonsense. Should I quote 1,000 nice things I've said in the past six months online? Who the fuck cares if I didn't sound super mean in one quote from a few years ago? How could that conceivably prove anything?
http://www.somethingawful.com/
d/awful-links/awful-link-1053.php
Combine those two lines into one url and read that, from six years ago. Also, around the same time is when people like you started getting mad at me for constantly calling everyone liars and saying "obviously" constantly and all the other things you said that I just started doing recently, which made no sense on any level. You obviously know nothing about me, so why would you say such a thing?
"you could just ignore us like most sensible people who have better things to do"
As I've said many times, I have nothing better to do. Also, I'm nowhere near sensible. Also, I'm not going to ignore public lies about me and neither would you obviously. You even take the time to make up lies about strangers.
Speaking as someone who's a fan of the work, but not the author (and banninated very hard within hours of my first comment; if I recall coirrectly):
Bobby. Being wrong- whether misinformed, misremembering, or simply drawing false conclusions based upon available data- does NOT make you a liar.
There. That was cathartic.
Nothing that Matt just said made any sense.
I'm going to correct what you just said for you, Bobby.
"Nothing that Matt just said made any sense to me."
You should stop talking in absolutes. Your opinion isn't everyone's opinion, you self-righteous prick.
It made perfect sense to me. Sorry it went over your head.
That made me giggle. Say what you will about Bobby, but whether intentionally or not, he has a great sense of comic timing.
Karen: The only way it could make sense to you is if you have no brain in your head.
Never in my life have I called someone a liar who was simply either "misinformed, misremembering, or simply drawing false conclusions based upon available data." You think going to keenspot.com isn't available data for finding out if something is part of Keenspot or not??? And if someone is misinformed or misremembering something, they shouldn't state those things as facts unless they're sure, especially when it's to slander someone else in an official posting on their web site and when it's so incredibly easy to check those facts. And blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Also, what the fuck is with all of you acting like a LIAR is such a RARE thing on this planet??? Have any of you ever met someone who's never lied? I sure haven't! Human = liar. They're interchangeable. You can see a stranger at a baseball game eating a hot dog and just by that evidence alone you can call them a liar and you'll be right 100% of the time.
Also, let's focus for a second on just one of the many clear lies by azzev:
"Yeah, it wasn't that long ago (a year and a half?) that he acted normally, even civilly, to just about everyone"
This is laughably insane to anyone who's ever heard of me or done five seconds of resarch on me, and it's something that's impossible for him to know even if it was somehow true. And don't insanely say "Why would he do research on you, who has the time for that," you fucking morons -- read what he said -- he's making a huge statement about me and how I act towards JUST ABOUT EVERYONE for YEARS OF MY LIFE -- of course you NEED to do massive amounts of research if you're going to try to make an insane, definitive statement like that. But five seconds of research would have proved him wrong. He's just CRAZY and he was trying to make a crazy point that FAME has changed me and turned me from a great person into a bad person, even though I'm NOT FAMOUS IN ANY CONCIEVABLE WAY. What the hell is with people thinking that someone who has a moderately successful online comic is suddenly SUPER FAMOUS??? So famous that it will totally change them as a person even! You guys are just totally fucked up in the head, just brainless.
I'm surprised that his comics don't entirely consist of people saying "Stasia, you are a retarded liar" and "Parker, what you just said makes no sense" over and over.
It doesn't make sense for a person who fancies themselves a writer to sound like a broken record.
Bobby Crosby, you're a gigantic liar, and nothing you say makes any sense to anyone with half a brain in their head.
You're a huge hypocrite, too.
Also, what the fuck is with all of you acting like a LIAR is such a RARE thing on this planet??? Have any of you ever met someone who's never lied? I sure haven't! Human = liar. They're interchangeable. You can see a stranger at a baseball game eating a hot dog and just by that evidence alone you can call them a liar and you'll be right 100% of the time.
Therefore, you, Bobby Crosby, are a liar. Therefore we can assume that anything you say or have EVER said could, in fact, be complete and malicious lies, and therefore have no reason to believe a word you say about anything.
"Therefore, you, Bobby Crosby, are a liar. Therefore we can assume that anything you say or have EVER said could, in fact, be complete and malicious lies, and therefore have no reason to believe a word you say about anything."
Where have I ever disagreed with that in any way? Every single person on this disgusting planet is pure shit and I hate myself way more than I hate anyone else.
Good to know!
RESPECT URSELF MOAR.
Maybe Bobby Crosby is severely depressed and self-hating and is trying to drive people away on purpose in order to justify his animosity toward himself.
And I do remember him being less deranged back in Pupkin times. He did ban people occasionally, but he really didn't seem to mind criticism. In fact, there was a big section in the forum for people who hated Pupkin. And no, I will not do research on any of this, because the life and times of Bobby Crosby are not that terribly important to me.
Oh, and Bobby did get some benefit from Keenspot. The only reason anyone ever read his comic in the first place is because his brother promoted it on Superosity.
-a retarded lying liar who tells senseless lies because she has no brains in her head and instead that space is used to store still more lies
Did you know that if you put a tablespoon of salt on a 5.4 inch cube of lead, and the microwave it on high for eleven minutes, it will turn into solid gold?
It's true!
You may ask yourselves, if this is so, why post it on the internet? If you do that, everyone will find out, make lots of gold, and it will devalue tremendously. And that's why. I was keeping it a secret, but some bastard broke into my mansion and found out. I don't want him to benifit, so I want everyone to make as much gold as they can, so it's all worthless.
For myself, I've already converted my assets into platinum- its denser and it's better for electronics.
"And I do remember him being less deranged back in Pupkin times."
Opposite of truth.
"He did ban people occasionally, but he really didn't seem to mind criticism. In fact, there was a big section in the forum for people who hated Pupkin."
No one hates my comics more than me and I make that very clear all the time. I've never once in any way cared about criticism. You're obviously another person who has no clue what criticism means. When people say completely incorrect things about the comics, that's not criticism. Any "negative" response I've ever had to "criticism" is to simply correct very false information.
"Oh, and Bobby did get some benefit from Keenspot. The only reason anyone ever read his comic in the first place is because his brother promoted it on Superosity."
And there's some more very false information. "Superosity" had nothing to do with the "success" of "Pupkin." No one's ever read "Superosity," and "Pupkin" got almost all of its readers from Something Awful obviously. The final month of "Pupkin" had MORE readers than "Superosity" at the time.
He may be nuts, but you have to admire the mans stamina.
Hey Bobby.
Shut up forever. Don't even comment on your own creation. You used to be funny to me. Now you're just entirely annoying, and I only heard about you one hour ago.
How you could be so cruel to your own fanbase, and even find people who manage to agree with you, is beyond mortal comprehension.
Let your artist on MM speak for you, because at least they seem pleasant.
I want the seconds of my life I spent reading about you and reading the stupid things you say back.
Never once been cruel to anyone who's even close to a fan -- only to pieces of shit like you. You were a fan of mine less than an hour ago, though, apparently. Things change fast.
Jesus christ, this is still getting comments? Ah well, may as well join in.
The following are not lies:
Bobby Crosby is a poor draftsman.
Bobby Crosby is incapable of diplomacy.
Bobby Crosby is a fairly untalented writer, but shows some small amount of promise.
Bobby Crosby could probably write a really decent novel if he took some creative writing classes at his local community college.
The following is not a lie, but a prediction:
I'm going to post this, put on my boots, and go to work. I predict that Bobby Crosby will be posting a reply, hyperventilating and seeing red, by the time I've reached my front door. Because unlike me, Bobby Crosby literally doesn't have anything better to be doing.
PS: One final fact, Bobby Crosby is great in bed.
"Because unlike me, Bobby Crosby literally doesn't have anything better to be doing."
I'm guessing you missed the comment on this page from April 10 when I said, "As I've said many times, I have nothing better to do. Also, I'm nowhere near sensible."
I just read through the comments section (God bless Summer) and I know that at this point it's finally dead, but I can't help but notice that Bobby, intentionally or not, has been using some pretty advanced trolling techniques.
He can string together a sentence, so any "lol fuk Bobby" comments are instantly defeated, but he's just thick and insulting enough to create the "arguing with an impudent child" feel. More patient posters can remain cool and rational, but the temptation to turn to insults eats up the weaker ones. Finally, he throws in some self-deprecation, which makes every slight victory of his seem much more crushing.
Bobby's either spent the better part of the last decade working towards a truly incredible "I did it for the lulz," or his personality is so caustic that he is naturally more of a prick than all the trolls out there specifically trying to be pricks. Really, I don't know which would be funnier.
I realise it has no meaning at this point, but I have to try and talk to him.
So, Bobby.
Pupkin was on Keenspot.
So chill out.
This is how I bait my Bobby-trap. Now I wait.
I suppose I shouldn't post here since the discussion is so old, but I just can't resist. Plus, it wouldn't do any good to comment on the Marry Me page -- I'm sure my post would just be deleted. I, for one, thought Pupkin was a Keen comic because the "new readers" link takes you to a Keen forum page. I wouldn't ever go to Keenspot.com to look at a drop down menu because I don't care what comics are listed there. Just as I wouldn't think about whether Pupkin was a Keenspot comic or not, but if anyone had asked I probably would have listed my above reason for thinking so.
Bobby, at the very least, you should learn not to be so very rude. Telling people "Fuck You, Kill Yourself" as you do frequently at Marry Me isn't constructive and is just bad manners. You also call people liars and say that their comments make no sense, but you often only refute their well-thought-out and expressed comments with a simple sentence which only barely addresses the issue followed by the words "blah blah blah". Simply put, your arguments are unconvincing and clearly no match for your opponent's.
Also, although I recently read Marry Me and enjoyed it, I have decided that someone who can be such a general asshole does not deserve my money. Before I read the comments I was going to purchase a copy of Marry Me. I've read it before -- you have no use for/don't care about losing readers who criticize anything about you or your work, but numbers add up. Your rage filled words are hurting your bottom line. I find it sad that there are a number of people out there who congratulate you every time you scream at (CAPS = SCREAMING on the Internet, Bobby), call stupid or ban a commenter, but of course the vocal majority on your site are going to be the rabid fans. This does not mean that they outnumber those of us disgusted by your attitude. If you could just keep from screaming at people you would have more fans and more money. Finally, sometimes someone who says something you may disagree with or think is a lie can say another thing that may make others think, consider an issue from a different angle or even teach you something interesting. Even stupid people sometimes can teach you something. I know there was a post on Marry Me recently that criticized you and I actually didn't agree with it, but the poster did reference something interesting that I wasn't aware of. I'm very glad you didn't delete his post since I always like to learn new things.
"I've read it before -- you have no use for/don't care about losing readers who criticize anything about you or your work, but numbers add up. Your rage filled words are hurting your bottom line."
It's definitely helping, not hurting. Tons of people love that I'm an honest person who tells things like they are and doesn't act like a little bitch from 2008 just so I don't piss off a piece of shit asshole like you who might one day buy a book from me. More people are buying books in part because of my attitude than who are not buying books because of my attitude. And on a day like today where we've had over $3,000 worth of books ordered, it's just madness to talk about anything having hurt the bottom line. I normally predict a million more sales than would be expected, and today's sales go far beyond even my predictions. We were going to print 2,000 copies of "Marry Me" before today, but now we're going to print 5,000 because of today's pre-orders.
I'm so tired of people who want everyone to be so damn politically correct and act like they're from 2150 or something. Everyone has to be treated like a little baby and if they're not, people go crazy whining and acting like it's the end of the world because someone was mean to an asshole who was mean to them and started the fight -- I NEVER start the arguments.
"you often only refute their well-thought-out and expressed comments with a simple sentence which only barely addresses the issue followed by the words 'blah blah blah'."
That is pure evil nonsense lies and you know it. I'm like the best in the world at actually responding directly to what people say and never dodging or skipping anything. I've never once "barely addressed" anything of importance. People complain about me going into such massive detail explaining shit to morons like you, and they'll say "Yeah, you're right, but stop boring me to death by going on so damn long! And stop saying bad words -- it makes me sad!!!" Fucking idiots. And it's hilarious to call the words of anyone I've argued with "well-thought-out and expressed," LOL.
And he's back!
Looks like someone forgot to take their medicine.
Will someone please inform me as to why this psychopath is allowed to walk the streets? He's pretty goddamn unstable. I'd call him dangerous if I wasn't positive he's the type of guy who'd get flipped by a six-year-old if he tried to take their candy. Man, fletcher really hit a gold mine. And Max mentioned something about a "I did it for the lulz" factor. If that proved true, I would absolutely die laughing. That would equal out to the ultimate "master of puppets" scenario...
Can you just imagine?...
