Let's Read: Vox Day's Arts of Dork and Spite, and Try to Make the Resulting Hurt Stop.

Right, I know it's been awhile, but I have to mention that Beale is now planning on adapting this into a comic book, using his ramshackle, 'practically have to give their shit away' comic imprint, and he's posted some artwork from it.

As the awful genericness of this washes over you, allow me to note that anyone who's finding these goblins just a tad antisemitic, well, Beale's fans have noted this as well.

Approvingly, because these are garbage people.

Did people really enjoy this book enough to shell out more money for a comic? Or is replacing character, plot, and creative worldbuilding with thinly-veiled dog-whistles really that lucrative?

Beale's business model operates more on spite and malice than profitability.

Though the fact this is intellectual property that he owns lock, stock and barrel has played a role in this. Beale's lost quite a few business partners due to mutual shitness over the years.

How high is the level of "pretentiousness about how this generic genre fiction is Capital I Important" content around this comic?
