Title: Countdown until Groat starts threatening suicide for attention?
Post by: SuperBarrioBrothers on May 29, 2014, 01:40:10 pm: Jim's divorce is final, his wife is trying to get him to move out, and look...someone needs a hugbox:

Comteplating a serious decision
I have been thinking long and hard about this the past year, and it started with the ending of WCOTP. I am finding it increasingly difficult to draw, let alone want to draw. And when that happens, I view that as a sign. Even my planned new comic strip has been scrapped...just no longer the desire.

I am thinking about retiring from art altogether and move on with my life.

I am getting increasingly comfortable with this as each day goes on, and I will make my final decision June 1st.

Oh, and those trolls reading this, enjoy it, you helped make this decision.

But the best part in the sea of self pity is a colossal, screencapped smackdown from Gallacci.

Jim,

When the guy who has been coasting on his 80s comic (which is best known now as Stan Sakai's launching pad) for three decades, paraded his own self destruction on a.f.f, and was the posterboy for the artist-as-hot-mess calls you out for the same thing, it's time to grow up and get an adult job. Furryporn streams on FA won't pay those bills...

I say jim's threatening suicide for attention within a year.

Didn't he get all his guns taken away already, though?

The man has friends all over the place holding guns for him so he doesn't have to declare them in his divorce proceedings as assets. We would have heard of a mass shooting if someone tried to take them away. He regularly carries at conventions he attends, often armed in the dealers room themselves. Everyone knows this, nobody does anything because it's Groat.

"I'm sorry but what is WCOTP?"

He started threatening suicide right in front of the people helping Rebekah move him out to his new hovel. Oh Jim...

Yeah, but that would mean actually doing art/comics on some kind of regular basis, so that's RIGHT out for Jim...

It sounds to me like he'll be launching himself out a window before he does that.
