what the fuck is a maakies


this isn't a troll or anything, i just have never heard of this before here
same with 'lileks' (again, not trying to joke, i'm serious)

where is all this crap webcomic material coming from? (well, "the internet," but i mean: how is this spreading)

and i thought i was edgy for liking Milk and Cheese back in the day
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maakies

It pre-dates achewood by quite a bit, I guess.

well, i mean that is a response one can give (the wikipedia page), but the bottom line is: why haven't i heard of these comics before? it's not like i live under a rock or have never read a webcomic.

i give up and will read garfield only

Whoa

I was non-positive about this strip over on paywood, and some non-Onstad person (presumably staff or unofficial moderator) informed me I was banned for 24 hours.
I tried to reply to them saying 'what do you mean, a 24 hour ban, and by the way who the hell are you?' and found I couldn't (because I was banned, duh!).


It looks like this happens automatically if you are "jeered" enough?

Interesting. Automated community standards.

It is not a webcomic originally, which is why I supplied the link. Maybe that is why, Bobby. I can't explain your workings of your sphere of influences. Onstad has mentioned this guy before.

The comic/characters are vaguely familiar to me, but I'm not sure why.

Agh, thankyou for that theory/explanation - that explains things. Somewhat harsh. I doubt most users know what they're causing to happen when they hand out that third 'jeer'.

I like Maakies, I haven't read much of it since the rise of the webcomic.

Sometime in early 2006 I made a drinkycrow in Illustrator.  That shit is VECTOR.

I first heard of it when TMBG sold Drinky Crow shot glasses in their online store. I think it was some sort of tie-in as I feel like Tony Millionaire did the cover art for Then: The Earlier Years.

There is also the (short-lived?) Drinky Crow show on Adult Swim.

it would be nice if it was more of a scheme of standards and less of a mine field of capricious whims...

Those of you who do not like Maakies have deeply incorrect taste.

The standards are encapsulated well by social norms and the niceties of human interaction, aka "manners."

Just because you don't understand the paradigm doesn't mean there isn't one.

"paradigm" is a pretty fancy word for what amounts to mob mentality
