I remember when David Willis was just a rando Transformer BBS poster who said some wildly inappropriate shit. A looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago now.

No, but I do remember reading Roomies/It's Walky when it updated live while I was in college. I try not to think about how long it's been.

I also remember you guys said some wildly inappropriate shit 20 years ago. *forum luuuuurker* Or ten. Or five. I think it depends on the person.

No judgment from me. I'm glad most of my old web presence is long gone. I'm not huge on excoriating people based on shit they said decade(s) ago. We have no idea how that person has changed. And from everything I've seen Willis is a good dude, was just an internet edgelord way back when (who wasn't?).

I just never really read his comics, it's always neat that someone you remember from 25 years ago is a pretty big deal.

Scott Kurtz has burned so many bridges he's left himself on a deserted island, and still blames everything else on his situation.

I didn't know who that was so I looked her up.

Her Wikipedia intro:

Charlie Spike Trotman,[1] also known as C. Spike Trotman, (born November 18, 1978) is an American cartoonist and publisher known for creating the long-running web comic Templar, Arizona, and for publishing the Smut Peddler anthologies of what she describe as "ladycentric porn".[2] She is the founder and owner of Iron Circus Comics, an indie comics publisher which Forbes described as "a powerhouse of the indy landscape."[3]
Seems like a real idiot....unlike Scott.

How long has the PvP archives been paywalled behind Patreon? I wanted to look for a specific comic today, but I simply... couldn't.

The man must have saved a lot of money because I have no idea how he makes a living these days.
Apparently he is putting out a book


I'm not sure if this is what he put pvp on hold for or not.

So, wait, fewer than 500 people in the world are reading his archives?

Man... if that's not a quantifiable measure for how far PvP has fallen...
It's not uncommon for people to save and download a comic if they hear that it will be blocked in the near future. But yeah, that small number is sad especially when I remember how it used to be. Between issues with his Dad and COVID, he just lost motivation.

He's been working on this for a good long while, even before the website relaunch. So yes, very likely.

Man, I haven't thought to check, it's been over a year since the last update. A post on the pvponline subreddit shows people talking about the paywall since at least 10 months ago.
