Attention is attention. :) CRFH characters have been spotted in Roomies
and Elf Life without credit of link. To me cameos are enough, and even
more when they come from people i worship/admire. I felt really
honored. I danced around wearing a hat with a fish on top. I headbanged
till my nose bled.
Links are nice (hey, i want to publicy thank Kevin Pease for his
interpretation of CRFH. Man, you sent an horde of readers to my
site...you rule!!! ;)). But it's the thought what counts.

It's not really Chris, apparently, but just a guy in a Chris costume.
That's why Scott didn't give me credit or link to me. Not even one of those

That was a spur of the moment thing, too...I just needed some extras
for a one panel scene, and, hey, why not? ...and, technically, they were
only dopplegangers, since they had elf ears when they appeared in Elf
Life. ;O)
I'm torn about lines added for cameos. If, whenever Alfred Hitchcock
showed up onscreen, getting on a bus or something, and a big arrow
popped out and said, Look folks, it's Alfred Hitchcock! it would have
really ruined the fun. A cameo should be a pleasant surprise for
somebody to look at something and go, wait a minute! I know what's going
on! I'm so smart!
But since we're online, it is hard to find promotion, so I'm going to do
a better job in the future, and start writing notes and URLs in my
gutters, pointing to relevant places and things. I think now, even with
a small cameo like the CRFH guys in Elf Life, I still should have
included Maritza'a URL somewhere.
At the same time, none of us should get mad when we have characters who
might ACCIDENTALLY resemble other characters. I'm surprised that Maritza
hasn't gotten after me for my Cesspool elves who (even though I've had
them on my drawing board for years) bear a striking resemblance to one
of her Satan worshippers.

Oh don't be so picky. :)
I want one of my characters to show up in a comic strip outside of FF
but I get nothing. Not even Pete in timeless "black mask" garb.
Of course I'll definately get nothing now that I brought it up. :)
But I'm also petty and make fuss over things others couldn't care less

I am a bit confused though. Is this an homage or a bash?

My characters have already been in a few comics (even a syndicated
comic, SPOONER), so I'm spoiled.
"I am a bit confused though. Is this an homage or a bash?"
I think it's a little bit of both. It's a bashage. (The "b" in bashage
is silent.)
Seriously, the problem I have with it is that most of his readers won't
know it's my character, or why he's vomiting, or what it refers to. Most of
his readers don't read Superosity, don't read this newsgroup, and don't read
the PvP message boards. When Chris has appeared in other comics (NEWSHOUNDS
and MR. CHUCK), it was made clear that he was a character from another
webcomic and credit was given. A link would be fine and dandy, but I'd be
happy with just a little credit.

Unless the character is being decapitated and defiled in some not so
nice way, I'd say it wasn't a bash. :)

Spooner no counts since you're, I'm assuming, in somewhat regular

It hasta' be a surprise from somewhere unexpected.
I'm making up rules as I go along.

I guess it was pretty much made as an inside reference and nothing more.
Is there some rule saying that there has to some acknowledgements
though? Lots of strips have fun little cameos without that them.
They usually don't have the cameos acting as the center of attention in
the background either though. \:)
Probably best not analyse this since might not lead to good.

A lot of things are done in the spur of a moment... recently Jeffrey
J.Rowland (www.whenigrowup.net) showed one of his characters with a
CRFH shirt. And my last two strips show Dave with a WIGU shirt. It's
all in fun, and it's even more funny when it's unexpected! ;)

Yes, and most cameos make sense only to regular readers, anyway. :)

I think your regular readers (non CRFH readers) noticed something weird
about that panel (maybe it looked too much 20th century? :)). Problem
with this things is that they happen too fast. It was something like a
real crossover, because next day i connected it to my strip somehow.To
our common readers, i'm sure the thing was a hoot, but it was really
spontaneous. Nothing planned :)

Last week you're in here bashing Superosity and
LWIBH and this week you're ripping them both off.
in such a way that adds nothing to your strip accept
attention of people in RACS. How many viewers do
you have that read Superosity and LWIBH anyway?
Scott, you are a hypocrite.

Were it not for Mr. Kurtz's complaints about that particular ep. of
Superosity last week, I'd think it was an homage... But in light of his
comments I think this one must be filed squarely under bash.

Yeah, but in light of his comments about putting down other strips,
it's got to be a homage.

I do not, nor have I ever, hated Superosity.
Being a cartoonist, I read comics differently than other people. I end up
absorbing them or analyzing them. Does that make sense. I can't get past the
craft sometimes. I'm too busy saying "I wish I had thought of that." or "I
like the way he draws hands."
Superosity is the only strip (including newspaper strips) that I can get
lost in. It's the only strip right now that makes me actually laugh out
loud. It simply is my favorite strip online.
And that's funny because despite it all, Chris and I always end up in these
shouting matches. And the whole time, I keep loving Superosity.
That's the honest truth.

until I read that (even after rereading last weeks
thread) what I said stood.
Now it doesn't, perhaps instead of that 'I haven't
done anything I should apolgise for post' you could
have written an 'it was a homage post'.

I clearly remember the point I was trying to make in that previous thread
and I still stand by it. Just because webcartoonists can use foul, colored
or gross humor that syndicated cartoonists can't doesn't mean we should.
The main gag of my strip on the day of Superchris' apperance was about the
Halloween party and the costumes everyone was wearing. The Superchris cameo
and the cameo of the vomit gag was an homage seperate from the main gag.
If I started changing the humor in my strip to nasty, gross, or lewd humor
on a regular basis, I think you would have a more solid leg to stand on when
you call me a hypocrite.
