Good Grief…with a vengeance!
Oh, come on! How many people can steal-ish my idea this week before I get a lick off the fame sausage?
This Sin City-style parody of Charlie Brown arrived six times in my inbox this morning. Fucking MTV’s website covered it! Did they send a crew to my house to investigate my years of labor to build a career off the same joke? NOOOOOO!
Not bitter.
UPDATE: Jen Contino on the controversy!
UPDATE 2- CORRECTIVE BOOGALOO: I think I may have thrown a match on an oily rag, so let me snuff it out. My suggestion that the artist for Schulz City swiped my idea was purely meant tongue in cheek. I doubt he has ever seen Weapon Brown, and don’t believe he in anyway has copied it.
I was only expressing a little rassal-frassin’ over the fact that, this week at least, it is someone else’s Charlie Brown spoof that the world is in love with. But I don’t need the world! My loyal fans are enough. Mwah!!

Don’t worry, your work is awesome. I’ve been spreading the word as best I can.

It’s okay, dude. You have my undying admiration, respect, and love. Think of it as your really tacky consolation prize.

God, I would be so pissed! Your stuff rocks. Don’t worry, you’ll get the whole sausage someday. I’ve been trying to spread the word too.

That’s it; I’ve gotta put a post up for you, dude. You’re taking this too well.

Yours is the better brown, Hands Down!

I like your comic – think it rocks, but it’s nothing like “Schultz City”.
That’s a direct parody of Charlie Brown and Sin City, drawing off existing stories and characters, while your comic seems to have a totally different premise. There’s no war, bikes, tanks or guns in Charlies Brown, and I haven’t seen any baseball or Little Red Haired Girl in yours.
Still thinks your comics great, but this is like owning the rights to Chedder and then complaining when somebody else sells Brie. They might both be cheese, but they’re not the same thing at all

Ok, maybe there is a little red haired girl (teach me to look more closely before commenting next time…) but I still think they’re very different anyway.

Your Brown will always be tops. Us loyal fans really are all you need. Who want’s world recognition anyway.

Shall I dispatch this whelp and end his sham of a comic, Dark Lord?
I got this new thing I do where I beat a man to death with a screaming baby. It’s quite unsettling.

Only if it is his screaming baby. Go Conquistador on him!

CAN DO BOSS!
