*Snert* Wow.

XD

LOL! I've run into people just like him. Always have a 'great' plan to make a ton of money where they don't have to do any of the work.
"I'll give you the ideas to draw and you draw them and we split the profits", which probably wouldn't be so bad if the ideas were really good.
OR
"You make these and I will sell them on my automated website and we split the profits 50/50" Oh wait, that's Rabbit Va... never mind. <:)

Snap. Dishing furry realness.

Are you sure that guy isn't a furry artist? He reminds me of more than a few ...

Haha, yes, this happened so often already in my (relatively short) career!

I had a moment like this one myself at a restaurant. >A< Though not so much about drawing "Comics' just drawing in general.

Act II: Death of a Salesman (or at least we can hope...)

I'm reminded of the mother of a friend, from my school days.

She had these two cats, and every time I was over there she'd push me and push me, to try and get me to draw a comic about them, because comics about cats are worth big money, and her cats were the funniest cats in the entire world, so naturally they were a fountainhead of great material that would make a bundle, and once I'd become really really famous, we'd split the money half and half.

Needless to say, I stopped going over there.

I don't understand how newspaper comic syndication works. One would think the ability to draw would be a requirement, but as the paper makes clear every day, it is not.

Clearly his ideas were gold; I mean they made it into this comic, right?

This is dialogue worthy of Fritz the Cat

I was almost a used car salesman :)
But it turned out I was too honest.

You should have told him you draw Family Circus.

Lol, he'd turn around for sure.

Oh brother.
I've *known* dudes like this...
Probably everyone has.

It's never a good idea to talk to a salesman who doesn't wear pants.

The sad thing about the internet is you get a ton of these via email/IM/FA now. "I got these great ideas, draw them for free!"

Wow, I hate one-sided conversations like that. If, I'm not responding to you leave me alone lol

the only advice i offer younger artists ( or at least newer) is when something like that happens.. run... RUN

"So you do _comics_, yeah? In the _papers_, yeah? It would be a real shame if something were to _happen_ to that paper.. like a _fire_ or somethin'.. Ya get what I'm sayin'?"
