It almost seems like a waste of "fan capital" though I'm sure the fans will still kick-in if he appeals for medical bills for his cancer-stricken relative tomorrow. If he really wanted embarrass them, he would give them the $20k. Like when someone asks for your jacket and you also give them your cloak.

When it's Youtube vs MPAA/RIAA/Labels, we side with Youtube. But when it's FunnyJunk vs Oatmeal, we side with Oatmeal?

anyone know what the oatmeal guy looks like?

fantastic rebuttal.

Prank Call of Cthulhu: annoying design that made blood spray out of my eyes.

In fact, here's an "artist's" recreation of what happened when I exposed myself to FunnyJunk.


We must therefore conclude that FunnyJunk is so painfully unfunny as to be dangerous. Also, obviously, I'm not going to be drawing any successful web comics any time soon, and should leave funny drawings to the Oatmeal.

Wade_Wilson: Sweet. Love TheOatmeal. Couldn't care less about FunnyJunk. I'll toss him a couple of simoleons when I get home (don't want to enter credit card info at work).

/Yay for archaic nicknames for money!

I dunno, I'd trust your work network sooner than I'd trust a guy that says he's going to take all the donations and put them in a box to take a picture of. Sortof like the police evidence stuff...a $90,000 donation pile is cashed in for $80,000, and gets sent 50/50 to the two charities - $30k to one, $30k to another.

Where's the audit trail? It's not an escrow, he's already said he's going to take physical possession of the donations, and it's already leaps and bounds past that. Why not just donate two one of the two charities directly if you're worried?

ph0rk: derpdeederp: Earguy: I've never heard of either site. Oatmeal seems cool, I'll check back. FunnyJunk is horribly done and made my eyes bleed.

Imagine that bully who used to shake other kids down for their lunch money now as a grown up. He's doing the same thing to another grown up and instead of scrimping and raising to hand over that cash, he turns around and raises that cash. Takes a picture of it to prove that he had it. And then just turns around and gives to someone else entirely. That's a big giant bird flipping there.

If the dude keeps my $20, he gets $20. I'll get over it. If some assclown gets my credit card info because my workplace network is unsecure (and it is) he could do some serious damage.

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but does anybody know the tax implications of this? I mean, he's collecting money himself to turn over to charity, rather than providing direct donation links to the charities themselves. He's not a charity himself, so that could be seen as income to him by the IRS. If that's the case, even if you give it all away, you can only deduct up to 50% from your adjusted gross income, which could leave him on the hook for quite a bit in taxes.

This is going for the boob job but no cancer, right?

Wow. I just visited the site. And as someone else pointed out, it made my eyes bleed! I then looked at the source code and if I had to make a guess, I would guess that the owner of funnyjunk.com is either retarded and/or he hired a dyslexic blind chimp to write his HTML for him. That is a truly horrific looking site.

HotWingConspiracy: Doesn't demanding a check to make it all go away kind of turn this in to a shakedown?

The rule is actually pretty simple:

Do this by yourself: illegal blackmail
Pay a lawyer to do the exact same thing for you: perfectly legal, justifiable expression of your rights as an American

mavexe: jayhawk88: Does The Internet like Oatmeal/Inman now? Because last I checked in, he was a web developer who figured out he could use badly-drawn cartoons and social media pushes to game SEO's for ad revenues.

While that may be his shtick, his cartoons are original content that he himself creates - and while yes, some are already memes, it's still hilarious.

I was right with you up until that last word.

There is a way to safely do it - I don't recall the specifics, but there is a way. My recollection is that none of those methods would involve cashing in the donations, putting them in a box, and taking a picture of the box of money...but I may not be remembering it correctly. :P

I wish web comics would put a little effort in drawing. The stick figure/third-grade artwork makes even the best jokes look amateurish.

You forgot the double-sawbuck.

Yeah, and the quintuple sawbuck and the centi-sawbuck

Those were not frequently referred to in pulp noir crime novels.

Pfffft. 99%-er problems.

And just because I was inspired by the oatmeal to quite my job today and become a cartoonist:

Not sure how raising money for charity is some kind of "sweet revenge."
It almost seems like a waste of "fan capital" though I'm sure the fans will still kick-in if he appeals for medical bills for his cancer-stricken relative tomorrow. If he really wanted embarrass them, he would give them the $20k. Like when someone asks for your jacket and you also give them your cloak.

Um, no.

You're being the better person, helping charities that always need help, AND thumbing your nose at their request. That's freaking awesome revenge, the best kind, cause you're doing it with a f--king smile on your face.

You should try it sometime, like raising money for your local LGBT groups when Westboro plans to protest. It's an awesome feeling.

dkendr: Just kicked in a sawbuck for shiats and giggles. I assume Obama will want to know where his sawbuck is.

I first heard this as "double sawbuck"($20) from a neighbor, who grew up in Chicago.

For raising that much I think he should keep 10% for himself. He has pretty much locked in to donating it all now but I know some struggling comic book artists who work their asses off for close to nothing so he deserves it. Either way good for him

I would think that he could just claim the $100k as income followed by a 100k write off when he donates it. Kind of a PITA for his accountant, more likely he has special accounts set up specifically for this and he just "says' he is collecting and donating it when in fact it is all automatic.

ChrisDe: I wish web comics would put a little effort in drawing. The stick figure/third-grade artwork makes even the best jokes look amateurish.

It's a time thing. Either you're producing a bunch in a short time, you have a day job, whatever. And plenty of people (XKCD) have the occasional art-y one but do what they're comfortable with and what made them popular 99% of the time and focus on the funny instead.



That said, I haven't checked out Something Positive in awhile, but he had his fans give him enough money where he could spend time on the art and storyline.

1. keeping it for yourself after promising it to charity is kind of a dick move

2. The whole point is people giving him money that the lawyers *couldn't* try to coerce him out of. The fact that he isn't raising money for a legal reason is part of the awesome.

3. Considering the number of people I've randomly seen with his book on their shelves, he might be doing okay.
