CAD ripped this off II

Check this out y'all:

hxxp://housd.net/archive_page.php?comicID=205


Well then. Two characters, one light haired and mentally unstable the other dark haired and level headed. The light haired crackpot announces that he is going to build the ultimate gaming console in robot form to the derision of the dark haired character. Later he builds it and presents it to the dark haired character, who passes out. This exactly mirrors a CAD storyline. Also, there is a penguin. Nuff said.

Feel free to agree or disagree but do keep it civil.

I should point out that when I tried to post something similar on CAD's forums it was deleted almost immediately, without warning or feed back.

    First off, I recommend editing your OP and using the [URL] tags, because most of us are too lazy to copy/paste unless it's incredibly interesting. But more people will click, since that's easier.

    Like this: (URL=http://www.mywebsite.com/somestuff)This part will be underlined and clickable.(/URL)

    Only replace the parentheses with square brackets. Which gives:

    [/url]This part will be underlined and clickable.

    Also you should provide a link to both this Housd place and CAD, preferably to two comics that best show whatever similarities you're trying to point out.

    Keep in mind, however, that I still don't care. Just trying to help out. But keep this in mind: if this is your comic you're pimping, and this is just a sad attempt to sitewhore, we will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-fuck you.

    There is a thing called archetypes, you know.

    Could you provide the CAD comics for investigation?

    That's the Linux penguin, dumbass.

    Probably because it's a stupid topic, but we're a little nicer here.

    This is the second time you've posted this same topic in this same forum. The first one got locked, take a wild guess as to what will happen to this one man. No one seems to care if one mediocre webcomic does or does not rip off another one. Both of them have similarities to Penny Arcade, and no one is bringing that up. I found four or five panels that are almost a direct copy of Gabe's work, but I won't even bother to post them, because it's obvious which comic everyone prefers to read. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

    Okay, you're wrong. Blatantly.

    I just went through the CAD archives to put an end to this (I feel dirty). The super console robot bullshit happened in November, 2003 in CAD. It happened in December 2003 in Housd.

    I'm pretty sure CAD did this first.

    Mind you, both comics suck donkey dick, so really, who cares?

    Edit: Speaking of, CAD managed to ruin the only thing in the latest comic that might have been even vaguely amusing by having the anchorman explain the joke.

    Hmmm...
    First comic featuring light haired spaced out guy and dark haired level headed guy:
    CAD: October 2002
    First comic from House D: March 2003

    Robot console:
    CAD: November 2003
    House D: December 2003

    Yeah, it looks like someone is ripping someone off here.
    But I don't feel like naming names.

    I could go back and edit out the emoticons, but really, they express my feelings at dredging the archives of both these comics entirely too well.

    I won't be staying. I joined the forum specifically to raise this issue. You think I want to spend more than the absolute minimum amount of time being anonymously abused by geek flamers? You'd be wrong. I just want it out there. That you don't care is fine but others might, so I hope to just leave it on the forum. I have done the same in several others.

    So I've not read either comic...have we established now that whoever writes/wrote Housd is a no-talent ripoff artist? Just want to be sure.

    Well it's now clear that Housd is actually copying CAD.

    Maybe you should take up the issue in Social Entropy, because there's nothing left to debate here.

    Okay, raise the issue. But...You're wrong.

    And, as has been said, both comics are absolute horse shit, so...it's not even a pressing issue.

    Also, this suggests that this thread needs to be nuked rather than locked. Just because you seem to want it to stick around.

    You joined a forum for a videogame webcomic for the sole purpose of accusing a second videogame webcomic of ripping off the storyline of a third videogame comic.

    Then when we don't all stand up and raise our righteous indignation at the injustice of it all, you start with the insults.

    And you're claiming you're not a sitewhore, right?

    Did you not see the part where you were proven wrong about it? Perhaps you should take that into consideration.

    You wanted to raise the issue that your(poorly drawn) comic ripped off CAD by over a month? Thanks for bringing that to our attention.

    I'm guessing Irond Will couldn't imagine this dumbass would actually do this again this quickly. That or he's simply making preparations to nuke it from orbit, just to be sure.
