CRU'S COMIC MESSAGE
| cru | Page 55 may seem a little tongue-in-cheek, but I never claimed to be a saint!
You may notice a tiny copyright notice below my usual one on today's comic page. It says the same thing as the footer at the bottom of this site but I guess some people think what I'm doing (making money from advertising) is criminal since I use WoW screenshots to produce the comic and not my own drawings.
Feel free to visit their article against Cru the Dwarf, read the argument between myself and him and give your opinion.
Also be sure to vote for Cru the Dwarf at TWC (if you're old enough :P) and at Buzz Comix with the button below the comment form. I owe you guys a special 2 million pageviews comic soon so keep an eye out for it.
PS Check out Cru the Dwarf's new blog The Inner Sanctum. It's the other half of that big ass banner with the TopWebComics incentive preview. -Posted on Oct 06, 2008 |

Wow (no pun intended), some people need to get out of their mom's house and on with their life! It's a weak debate at best. His argument opens up a whole can of worms. Look at all the pop culture referenced content in WoW. I don’t see them (Bliz) sharing the obscene coin they make off their MMORPG with Hollywood, a book author, or other games for that matter. Also, any money made by Cru is pocket lint in comparison. If he wants to be critical about something way more obvious and dubious - how 'bout talking about the gold selling venders link to organized crime and Asian slavery rings in America? How about all the private servers dipping into Bliz's pocket? Words like, GTFO and get a life come to mind and while I'm ranting, ol' Kevy H - take the retard sandwich out of your mouth before talking sh#$ about someone! Look at your own Blog title font! Aren’t those pictures of copy righted material imbedded? Exploiting Batman? Hmmm… -Posted on Oct 06, 2008 | | User: Duncor | | 5 | -Posted on Oct 06, 2008 | | User: giovanni | | 5 | -Posted on Oct 06, 2008 | | User: Ashkoort | | 5 | hahahahahaha THE COHKBLOK!!! good one!!
keep going like this dude! -Posted on Oct 06, 2008 | | User: Ebenezer Splooge | | 5 | | I'm no lawyer, but I don't see Blizzard having any issue with it seeing as you are positively supporting and generating interest in their product and in no ways stealing revenue from them. The process of posting and using screenshots from the actual game has long been established, all your doing is adding some dialogue boxes to make far more entertaining. -Posted on Oct 06, 2008 | | User: griffen | | | | I read the guys article, I think he has no case really, you have the Copyright there, and afaik hosting a comic on a site with ads which make small revenue and making money off the comic proper are two different turkeys of copyright stuff -Posted on Oct 06, 2008 | | User: griffen | | 5 | today, this monday, has been epic win for comics!
Mystic Rev was awesome, LICD & LFG awesome, and now this. PERFECT! I hate mondays but this ones startin off pretty damn good! -Posted on Oct 06, 2008 | | User: Ozz | | 5 | | Woo! Copyright infringement! -Posted on Oct 06, 2008 | | User: Chernobog | | 5 | I got a good chuckle out of the ogre's last comment and expression! As for the money, maybe a bit of envy? I dunno. Doesn't bother me anymore than 8 bit theater or the like, seems enough of it is your own interpretation. There's been tons of gaming related media out there, sprite swapped or otherwise, but they continue largely unabated.
Mebbe different if Blizz complained, but in a round about way, I imagine they'd like the free attention one way or another with a popular webcomic. I don't feel Cru represents their product in a bad way. Your argument seems pretty sound and I can't say I much agree with the blogger. His comment about the copyright being at the bottom sounds largely reaching to be 'righteous' about something. -Posted on Oct 06, 2008 | | User: cru | | | | Thanks theterik. The image is actually an old request I did for a friend a while back. Since TWC reset their votes today for some reason I was forced to take the fishnet draenei pic down and put up fresh content to encourage new votes. -Posted on Oct 06, 2008 | | User: theterik | | 5 | | I love the return of the sexy voter incentives! Votes for you, my friend! Many votes! -Posted on Oct 06, 2008 | | User: cru | | | | I actually had a blood elf woman in a fan service page a while back. Right now she's in the fan service archive, the link is in The Inner Sanctum blog. -Posted on Oct 06, 2008 | | User: Razanna | | 5 | | great page and also great fan service. I have to ask though when will blood elves have their turn in the fan service? -Posted on Oct 06, 2008 | | User: darkyst | | | | LMAO nice comic also 1st keep it up cru still laughing about that cohkblock -Posted on Oct 06, 2008 | | User: Acetal | | 5 | First!!1
