Annually in Japan on Boy’s Day the spirit of Kintaro, the Golden Boy is celebrated. The Japanese version of Tom Sawyer, Daniel Boone and Paul Bunyon rolled into one person. A real life figure, his exploits have grown to legendary proportions over the centuries. After his father is murdered as a child, Kintaro and his mother take refuge in the forest around Mt. Kintoki. Kintaro flourishes in this environment and makes friends with all of the animals in the forests. His amazing childhood adventures shape his adult life and make him known to many outsiders who would like to use his skills to their advantage. Master Yorimitsu is the Samurai Warlord who ultimately tames Kintaro and brings him in from the forest. As the First of Master Yorimitsu's Four Warriors, Kintaro is tasked with hunting down outlaws and monsters that have escaped capture. In this task he is better than any other. He is handsomely rewarded by his master and gains great notoriety throughout the country. But unknown to his master or anyone is his true goal, vengeance for his father’s murder. He will have his revenge and restore his family’s honor, or die trying.
Four new pages of Golden at http://www.webcomicfun.com/golden.html
After you click and drag the first animation you will see a dropdown that says Reading. Click that and select Part Two. Thanks for checking in.
For anyone checking in, Golden will continue in the next few weeks at my new site. http://www.webcomicfun.com Thanks and I hope to see you there.
It will be continuing shortly. It will be going up on another site in the next couple of weeks and then hoping that Scott will be able to get to some additional pages soon. He has been busy but possible we might get some more pages in.
I love comics that pull from myths and folklore. There is infinite potential for great comics in tapping such. This one also had a lot of promise! I will be scrolling through the comments and hope it is continued somewhere.
Pushing all of the negative aside.
I personally can't believe that anyone would email any other person outside of this environment anyway. So I was a little concerned that DSHIDE had decided to take things out of Zuda and into a personal element. That is all I will say on that. I don't think anything should be sent to Zuda because if you choose to email a person outside of Zuda that takes it out of their realm.
Let's just forward everyone's e-mails to the MAN shall we?
Yes, super sleuth DShide tracked me down & emailed me outside of Zuda. He sent a rude, threatening email that said he would harm me if I didn;t leave the Zuda message boards. Dshide, you are the one that needs to be reigned in! I have forwarded your email to your ISP as well as Zuda for their review. You need to learn how to drop things & leave them on the board. You went WAY over the line this time!!!!!!!
Seems you sent the first volley DSHIDE. But I have nothing to do with any of it and I am done with any bickering. It is childish and pointless. Yes, I will be back. I am usually here. I just don't usually post, I just read and vote. Pretty sure Pads will be back too, but I don't speak for Pads.
Troy you know who pads is, please rein her in. She is now sending harassing e-mails to your detractors. Can't we all just move on? Please. I'm done here.
Between dead pool and max, i got my money on the merc, unless you look really good in a skirt pads, then maybe you could distract him, or something...., course if he wears his kilt and a strong gush of wind hits who knows where that could go
maybe match.com or something for wicked????
;)
enough already, their will be new comics soon enough to fight over in june, I know dshide will still be around, but will you pads???
Which is kind of a smart-*** way of asking will the fans who came here for just for golden or 1 of the other comics stick around to see what comes next???
And, will the creators of the various comics this month, check back in to see what's going on, or everyone could turn out to be fly by nights???
there was no real point to this post at all, I'll admit it.
:)
DShide - You just proved MY point!
And you both just proved my point.
DShide, or should I say TATTLE TAIL! I'm glad your world is filled with flowers & butterflies & and everone loves one another. WAKE UP! That's not the real world. What I want to know is when were you deputised by the Zuda police force?
And thanks MPD. I am not sure why there is such animosity, really. Certain elements just seemed to be irritated. I am smiling. I am not unhappy with 6th. We made it here and had some fun.
And by the way mr. immature detective. Who cares who restyourpads is? Again, point to me anything she did other than jibe back and forth with Rudy. Let it go. What does it matter?
Wow D. Thanks. Is that what I am supposed to say? Annoying and unprofessional? Hmmm. OK. If that is what you think D. Best of luck to you in all of your endeavors. I was trying to find where I made any rude, annoying or unprofessional comments to anyone on my page. You can point them out if you want.
Congratulations on your 6th place ranking. I enjoyed looking at your comic, reviewing it and reading all your comments. You certainly brought something 'extra' to the competition that we haven't seen before. I will certainly look out for you in future. Best of luck.
And the winner of most annoying, unprofessional award is, drum roll please, Troy Bowen. Congrats Troy I hope you have seen your negativity for what it is, unprofessional. I haven't heard a competitor complain about what others say as much as you. I thought Rudy talked a lot, but after "someone" thought (in their own opinion) you might be cheating, you just couldn't let it go. Oh and about sweating the haters, you obviously did. Next time you do something like this just don't reply to the haters at all. You will look better in the end.
P.S. I was originally a fan of yours, your behavior is all that changed this.
Hey "Golden" Boy!
your rise through the rankings was inspiring! Just think... at one point you were the only comis I was beating! :)
Best of luck in the future!
-steve
You had them sweatin' there at the end Troy! Good luck in all your endeavors!!
I don't have to "disapprove" anything. People make their own choices.
I thing that your job is good enough!You don't need dirty help from nobody ("restyourpads"). Take a look at the other competitors and you'll understand. You MUST disapprove such activities.
Allright, Troy - that was a well thought out post. I apologize for my part in the beef war. Lets have a good judgement day and end this bickering. i had a good night's sleep and i'm not mad anymore. you had a good comic. seeya in the message forums. PEACE.
And let me say that if a fan of another comic had come on here and made jokes and such I would have simply had fun with it. The only thing I have ever even taken offense at was Neil's early post, and in hindsight I don't see anything wrong with what he did. He was happy and was expressing himself. It makes for a much more interesting thread. I think the amount of views to Rudy's page is evidence of that. People came back to read what he might say or what others like Pads might say and then his sometimes crazy responses. That is how it seems it all started. But as the contest went on he seemed to become more himself I guess and not the rudis character which changed the tone of his page. It also didn't help that I made some moves that he believes are contrary to the Zuda model. So, can't people just read what went on and see what happened? Rob and Rudy seem to have exaggerated everything now that things have gone like they have. Overzealous fans are a fun part of this if you take it as it is meant.
That cracks me up. The whole hater controversy is so overblown. That person posted what, twice? Anyway, I don't think anything was done out of desperation. If I had been able to or had the time I would have used the "meet the people" technique from the start. I am not sure what a nuisance I have been and because I have one or two vocal supporters I somehow bothered the precious Zuda balance. I thought it brought some fun to the competition for the most part. Anyway, I wish everyone the best and we will see where things end up.
I guess that makes bighandhater a woman too, who knew??????
-later max...
Actually rudis...I am not a "He"...I am a "She"! GASP!!
Pads, as in Maxi-Pads...DUH!
Do you really think a man would have been smart enough to come up with all the stuff I did?
Those are some dang big bunnies!! LOL :)
Regardless of our little beef here at month's end, i enjoyed your comic book. Congrats on the final act of desperation, since it worked out for you. Fifth is a good spot to land on.
no way they'll let you win this thing - even if you have the most votes. you've been way too annoying during the entire month. but best of luck on judement day! fifth feels good, doesn't it? by the way, i know you aren't restyourpads. he's just some kind of golden groupie. and we all know what groupies do.
I am glad I was pointed over to Zuda. There are some good things happening. This story really gets me wanting more. I hope you keep this going no matter what.
Up to five. The final assault has begun. Congrats to Neil for taking first. Let's see if he can hold it.
And yes, John, we do carry your books. I might also add, our website is twenty times better than Amazon. We actually send you the books you order, and you don't have to worry about scam listings. :)
Heck, I always feel like someone's watching me, RKB.
To give you a perspective of how big the store is, it's one city block square and four stories high.
Did I mention Vic Boone?
Necessity is indeed the mother of invention! As others have pointed out, this thing is largely a marketing venture, and it sounds like you found a way to take the market to the customers! Great job thinking outside the box! and screw refreshing every 2 minutes and obsessing about hits! Better to go out, meet and greet and make things happen! Best wishes! Go get 'em! You've closed a helluva lot of ground in a short time! Nice job!
Your store is watching you, isn't it Kid....??????
Sorry, John, I meant a week, not a day.
Well, knowing my luck I won't even get in, and it won't matter how many hits the site gets. :)
Oh, and no, I don't work for Amazon. We're actually a physical store that has a website. Actually, we're several stores.
ps--Remember VIC BOONE
Kidgloves your employees web site gets 80-100 million hits a day? Is the bookstore you work for amazon? (To reference Comicspace gets 50 million page views a month.) I know there's a difference between views and hits but still a very impressive total. With my luck, if I make zuda again it will be when you're in. Hopefully the store you work for is at least selling my books!
Thanks Rudy. Have a nice day!
libel schmibel. you need to learn to read. I said the tactic you used looks like cheating (which it does), i didn't say you did cheat. not only that, but i wished you luck on not getting kicked off of zuda, plus i wished you luck on winning the contest. this is how you repay me? by suggesting to the moderator i be kicked off of zuda for libel?
whatever. good luck getting me kicked off zuda. good luck winning the contest. I hope you win.
Kid. You should have pointed your friends my way sooner. I just got her email but she didn't send it until like after 8pm. I didn't even check my mail until just now so we didn't connect. I told her if we do something in the future I would make sure her and her husband were invited.
Oh. And if there is a Zuda moderator reading posts I believe you should check into the libelous comments made by Rudy in CoBH. Libel is clearly spelled out in the TOS as an actionable offense and unless Rudy has some form of fact to back up his accusations he should find himself in trouble with the powers that be.
What? Roughly 24 hours to go? Let me just say I will not be baited into comment of very childish remarks by other contestants. Best of luck to everyone involved and we will see where the chips land.
Go Scott and Troy.
OK. No problem Kid. It just seemed with the comments from Rudy and Canaan someone else had decided to jump in the mix. My apologies if I misunderstood. And if your friends are in the McKinney area tell them to email me. I will give them directions.
And I would say god bless you if you do use it to your advantage. They may never come back again but if one or two or ten come back Zuda has gained something and you will be doing something you love to do.
And "Hmmm. Interesting." was in reference to having a party and having a computer set-up as an idea. I hadn't thought of that. It was in reference RKB's tupperware comment.
Oh, I wasn't questioning you with the "miracle" comment. It was in reference to something someone said. As a reverend, I don't toss the term miracle around lightly.
Yeah, I work for the largest new and used bookstore in the world. 250 is just the people who work at my location. That's not including the 80-100 million hits our website gets a day. Believe me, I'm really looking forward to using that little marketing tool, if and when I get in. ;)
And there is nothing miraculous about getting votes in this manner. If Neil had taken a laptop to Comic Book Club with a wi-fi connection he probably would be trouncing Canaan right now. I simply decided I was tired of everyone who I sent to Zuda telling me they couldn't figure it out. So I solved the problem. Maybe my relatives and friends are more techno challenged, I don't know. But here we are. I added the people at lunch time and if my best friend comes through this evening we will add some more. I am sorry if it challenges what were considered the best. Go get your parties going. Kidgloves, if you get your 250 co-workers to register and vote expect the same type of comments for whichever creator they vote for. But I welcome that.
