LNH/META: Please Boycott The Legion of Net.Heroes Webcomic!
Arthur Spitzer
Webcomic. Yesterday was the first anniversary of the strip and I was
planning on writing a special comic for it and posting it six months
from now. Sadly, I guess I won't be doing that. I, the creator and
writer for the past 12 months, have been fired from it and replaced with
some other loser.
It's true that when I created this strip I signed a contract that gave
away all of my rights to it to the JONG Company for 12 bucks, a JONG
baseball cap, and a JONG coffee mug. So it was perfectly within their
rights to fire me. I just never expected them to.
Why did they fire me? They gave me a variety of reasons from being
constantly late, blown deadlines, writing the strip drunk, writing the
strip naked, drug abuse, badly grammar, misspelled wurds, lying about
what happens in a day in the life of Arthur Spitzer, pretending to hang
out with James Frey, not being funny, not being coherent, not drawing
well, low ratings, and a bunch of other stuff.
But I don't think those were the reasons that they fired me. Nope.
Here's the reason I believe I was fired. I was fired because I
accidentally slept with the President of the JONG Company's wife and
then accidentally got caught for it. That's the reason I think I was
fired. I guess that was the final nail in the camel's broken hump.
And now they've replaced me with some punk called Sirius S. Sirius.
Supposedly, the next messiah of superhero writing. The next (Alan
Moore/Leo Tolstoy/David Simon) who's going to save the superhero genre
and show that it can really be art and literature. Who's going to write
the most serious superhero graphic novel that the world has ever seen!
But I say we don't give him that chance. I say we all boycott: The
Legion of Net.Heroes Webcomic!
I say we don't click on this link beneath this sentence.
I say we ignore this link and don't click on it. No. Don't click on
it! Please!!
And if everyone doesn't click on this link and ignores the Legion of
Net.Heroes Webcomic maybe just maybe the ratings for it will be lower
than mine and he'll get fired! Maybe.
And you know what else you should do? Write hate mail! Yeah!
Specifically write hate mail to this e-mail address:
thejongp...@jongcompany.com.
Please tell them to fire Sirius S. Sirius and hire Arthur Spitzer back
to write the LNH Webcomic.
Please make sure your hate mail sounds very crazy, so we can scare the
hell out of them.
And please remember: DO NOT CLICK ON THIS LINK!!!

My wife and I just finished watching "The Wire". It is, without a
doubt, the greatest achievement in the moving picture medium-- film,
television, whatever. It's not a cop show-- it's a show about life,
about pretty much every aspect of city life, about how politics and
money ruin and compromise everything-- but also about how human beings
have a basic dignity and can sometimes make a difference. It's the
most optimistic, loving, cynical, and honest thing I've ever
encountered.
I would *totally* watch a David Simon superhero show.

Why so Sirius?
--Easily-Discovered Man Lite
--Can't believe he got to make the joke first
--On reflection, can in fact believe it

But don't you worry; I'm great at boycotting stuff! Hell, sometimes I
even boycott stuff in my deepest of slumbers! The LNH webcomic shall
not go unboycotted while ever I possess the ability to remain stalwart
and vigilant! JUSTICE SHALL BE SERVED.
