Webcomic.net

frankly, since webcomics are free entertainment availible for all with an internet connection, the artists don't owe us ***

considering it also likely cost them money to do them, materiel and the website, etc, it's fully understandable they like a few donations... about this whole Tempt-thing, I think it's a funny thing, and ofc smart merchandising ^^

and every issue in Goblins is longer than the average comic, even most that update weekly instead of dayly, or at least a few times a week, so in fact Thunt does a pretty good job updating as often as he do, since he not only got a job, but also kids


and if there's something we've learned from Kayless, then it's patience with late updates, even no updates  at all, from time to time

Oh dear, all that Ogre piss over him! Still it's a very interesting mug. All that chocolate milkshake we can have!
I think that donation bar is a very good thing and Thunt's fans have responded incredibly well by delivering $341.50 in a very short space of time.

who the heck would drink out of a mug that previously held ogre-piss?

Well I guess you would want to clean it out a bit first. But if you just filled it up enough with the finest Dwarven ale I am sure in no time you would forget all about the piss.

Lucius: You tell me where my supersuit is, woman! We are talking about the greater good!
Honey: 'Greater good?' I am your wife! I'm the greatest *good* you are ever gonna get!

Fill it with cleaning solution and/or 100% alcohol a few times before using again obviously...


As for Tempts Fate, I think it's a great idea; it's something extra, he isn't charging for the update it's for a wallpaper. Tons of webcomics give wallpapers as a donation incentive, the difference here is Thunt is going to make it available to everyone once the mark as been reached. I imagine if it doesn't reach the mark he will just send it to those who did donate, it's not a large goal either. There are over seven hundred people just on the Goblins Frapper, hell if each of them gave thunt fifty cents we would have more than enough. I would do it myself but I don't trust paypal...

---

I love that the $200 goal was exceeded by more than 50%. On the first day, no less.

---

Yes that was great . Thunt must be really pleased.

I really hope they clean the mug out before drinking from it again. Maybe try to will something like pure alcohol in to cleanse it.

I got no problem with Kayless' updates because he doesn't say when they will happen. So it's like a nice suprise when I check one day and it's there. However since Thunt's page says updated Saturday, I expect it to be there saturday and am dissapointed when it's not.

As for Tempts Fate, I can't say why it rubbed me the wrong way, I just know that it did.

.....apart from saying "New issues added every weekend". As I said before, these guys don't get anything from us unless we choose to donate, hence there's not a lot of point in grumbling if they don't deliver.

I read over two dozen webcomics a day.  Some update on time while others are always late despite what the main page says.  I accept that real-life gets in the way sometimes so I don't get upset if a comic doesn't update.  I'll respect your choice to dislike Thunt's lack of prompt updates, but I will say this:  They (Thunt and anyone else that asks for donations) never said you had to read their comic or give them money.

Didn't Einstien say something about 'Time is relative"?

I think the teachings of Siddhartha can aptly be applied to this, where there is not time, no past, no future, only the present. And if that is so, the week can never end... or something like that.
