Life With Kurami

New strip.

...

...

So how many comic artists know of this strip at this point?

More than should be fucking allowed for him

Nice.

Maybe we can get and Endtown crossover with her and Gustine.

Cute!

He has his own studio and this doesn't even cover half of the art he has received from people.

He even got shit from the creator of Codename: Kids Next Door

Sometimes I just get really fucking jealous of his success at such a young age

This stuff must be worth a hell of a lot

>gets original art from Jim fucking Davis
>frames it in a piece of shit plastic frame from Wal-Mart
>mounts it on newsprint

I hate this person.

There's something so lame about artists in 2016 trying to imitate the style of syndicated newspaper funnies. It's indicative to me of someone totally lacking in creative vision.

You have the internet at your fingertips. Nobody breaks into the industry through newspapers anymore, yet these people slavishly imitate an artificially constrained style. I honestly don't understand it. Artists like Watterson who were forced to draw in that way constantly pushed against those boundaries and stretched what was allowed in that format. If you had any genuine talent why would you shackle yourself to a boring & dying formula?

The worst part is that Jim Davis has given him not one original thing..

Not two..

NOT THREE...

BUT F O U R FUCKING ORIGINAL GARFIELD PRODUCTS

Even Butch Hartman has given him something

I need to know his fucking secrets cause this is complete bullshit

God you fuckers are salty.

Go make your own goddamn newstrip comic and maybe Jim Davis will throw you a Garfield ladle.

I'm not salty. I'm just fucking annoyed how easy the little piece of shit has been able to receive so much praise and attention for something so cliche.

Well, he's already published in newspapers, and even gets PAID for it.

Which really pisses me off. I don't care how cheery-eyed and "happy" this strip is, I strongly despise how far it's gotten in such a very small timeframe.

Hell, his MENTOR is the fucking creator of "Curtis"

Jealousy is ugly, man.

>Sup Forums gets salty as fuck that their shitty OC will never be even newspaper funnies tier

STOP COMPLAINING.

Either work on your fucking art or give up. If all you can think of when you see this fuckers prize wall is "Wow, that piece of shit didn't do anything special and yet he got all this?!" then you seriously need to rethink your priorities. Newspapers aren't looking to publish whiny little babies unless you're puttin' out Prince Valiant level shit.

I have every right to be

There's artists out there working their butts off to even do half the shit he "does", and here he is getting free handouts from famous people.

How is THAT fair?

His strip is boring. All it's about is a fat, huge titty-monster of a single mother raising her infant daughter. It's supposed to be a "feel good" strip, but come ON. This is just ridiculous.

The only good thing that'll ever come out of this comic is the fucking porn people will do of the mother.

Are you one of those artists? Are you working your ass off?

Get this through your head, if none of those jackoffs are getting mad about this then why should you? You either have no stake in this fight or are too pussy to show us your art because, like you, we'll probably destroy it for being mediocre.

No, I am not, because I dont do art. I am friends with artists who share the same feelings as me about him though.

He's only been doing this for not even two years and got so much farther than my friends who've worked three times as long. Where's their attention? Where's their free art from famous artists?

Give me ONE reason that makes this comic so "special" to deserve so much.

...

So are you comparing him to Dobson? Cause I'd agree.

I dunno, from what I've seen he seems like a decent guy that just generally likes what he's doing. I don't see the problem here, it's comic strips for fucks sake.

Its not a very good comic strip though, it seems like the creator is recieving undeserved praise.

>No, I am not, because I dont do art. I am friends with artists who share the same feelings as me about him though

So you have no actual beef here? You're only mad because your FRIENDS are jealous? Good God, you're pathetic.

I love it when Sup Forums becomes so contrarian it results to defending unimaginative tripe just to prove a perceived point.

That's because he's seriously one of the most kindest and most supportive people in this industry. He tries his hardest to make sure everyone is doing the best they can do while working to do the same for himself.

He's worked beyond hard for everything he's recieved and I have not even the slightest clue as to how anyone could have beef towards someone who just wants to make people happy.

I need to see her lifting up her shirt and feeding that child

I read all the strips in the thread the other day, and they were pretty terrible. Harmless, but pretty terrible. The cat is out of place, "where's the joke buckley" abounds, the punchlines often come down to the very uncute baby being called cute by other characters (so by the creator), the baby's catchphrase is an old-fashioned comic strip gimmick and not in a good way...

I think it's pointless to get assblasted about the creator getting gifts, but honestly, it's understandable to be annoyed too. How are any of us supposed to know the creator's a sweetheart? You're white-knighting for him awful hard here and I'm kind of curious why. Dude can be nice, but his strip is still awful.

Bruh, it's a fucking newspaper strip. I don't think anybody is expecting it to have stellar writing.

post tits already

It's not supposed to be a funny strip, it's supposed to just make you feel happy.

As someone who is good personal friends with the creator, I'm cringing at the person here saying he just gets hand outs.

The author is one of the kindest, well mannered people I've ever met. If he's made connections, it's only because he's an absolute pleasure to talk to, and extremely humble. I have to stress how humble he is... It's nuts. He works so hard, but he always pushes to try to be better. He's dedicated many years of his life to this character, through many iterations. He has tried and failed countless times to get syndicated, but he just keeps pushing, because this guy has a dream and he has the passion. Win or lose, he is giving it his all, and people respect him for it.

ITT: Kurami's white knight friends continue shilling

How are you to know? Go look at his facebook page, go look at everything he posts, and if you still don't believe that, go message him yourself. He doesn't shy away from conversation.

I've been following the strip since it became a published comic two years ago, so I'm sure I can make good judgement of a person within that timeframe.

I don't care how you view the comic strip. What you think of it is your opinion and yours alone. However, I won't sit by and see a bunch of jealous Sup Forums pussies shit talk someone who hasn't done anything wrong to anybody and are just persuing their dreams.

Alright, so then it doesn't need a haha funny punchline, but it probably should have something more to say than "babies sometimes shit when you take a bath with them, but it's okay, they're such a blessing." A lot of the observations made are even more obvious than that.

>it's supposed to just make you feel happy.
I have Jergens for that

user. Calm down. Breathe, amigo. I didn't say anything negative about the guy himself, I said I don't like his strip and here's why. Basically you're TomPrestoning all over the place either on behalf of some dude who isn't you or else on behalf of yourself because you are Dee whoever pretending to be a fan who gives too much of a shit. Guess what, people criticizing your work ain't the same as people calling you an asshole.

He has mentioned in the past that his humor is less towards "haha funny" like Garfield and more towards "warm fuzzy feelings" humor like Rose is Rose.

>warm fuzzy feelings
Have we seen rule 34 yet

Different user here. Dee knows about these threads, hell he's probably reading this right now, but I doubt he posts in them.

Dee fuck off already

No, the negative reaction wasn't directed at you. It was directed at that user who spent so much time shit talking Dee over all the stuff he has. I'm not him nor will I ever be, but I will defend people who haven't done anything wrong.

Your criticism was valid, and was reasonable, unlike ones that hate him and what he does based on the amount of gifts he has.

>This shit is popular with actual artists.
That's really fucking weird.

>you'll never get fanart from Jaltoid

What is this and how does it regularly get fanart from actual legit people in the industry?

Make connections.

>one of them didn't even draw a hint of her boobs
Jaltoid I love you but what the hell

weirdest brother and sister

Yeah I mean that dude ITT is sperging out but this comic is garbage.

They aren't siblings.

Thanks for making it even more abundantly clear that the people defending this tripe are just his white knight friends. When you have a shit idea, being dedicated to it is not a virtue.

This strip feels like a DeviantArt fetish comic.

I never said it was the best thing ever and that you should love it, I just said that he works hard and people see that in him, so they're willing to help.

I think that's why it keeps showing up in Sup Forums. We're all watching a blatant fetish comic getting published in newspapers and feeling a mixture of hatred, lust and envy over it.

It is good though

>How is THAT fair?

Who ever said it was going to be fair? In fact, quite the opposite. When have you ever *not* heard artists/animators complaining about their work being underappreciated, selling out, or usurped for corporate gain?

The strip probably got into a newspaper because it's content seems to appeal to older women: the kind of people who still read newspapers. It's basically Cathy + Baby Blues.

You can take your avant garde surrealist slice of life piece about bisexual ninja animals drawn in MS Paint somewhere else, cause that shit is gonna be a harder sell in a Newspaper.
