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.
I think this is alot of "seen it before" story here. I find it a bit scattered and the artwork has some nice stuff there but is inconsistant in alot of places. Best of luck!!
I am good. And hey. I got Rudy to come over to my page. There is peace in the world!!! Now Rudy. Make sure you switch your vote to Golden and make all right!
There will be peace in our time, I think rudis was fair, and you made your point about the IP. no low blows or hateful charges/accusations to be seen from either party on this.
I did not and will not accuse you of admitting to being bighand hater, (like it matters, either way. Bighand hater wasn't my arch enemy. he has good taste in comedy, with the Borat nod). My exact words on my page were..."The BIGHAND HATER mystery identity has been identified by troylbowen himself as somebody posting from his IP adress."
you have made clear that IP adress means nothing, except that you have friends posting from the same building as you. i made your case clear by copy/pasting your three most current posts from your page at the time. i presented your case and your words. why is it being spun that i was trying to do harm to you? do you think i want you kicked off? or that i want people to think you were bighand hater? i've never made the accusation, and i'm still not. I gave your side of things by posting your comments! i think i was more than fair, and i was reporting news on a popular discussion topic on my page. thats it. i don't have a beef with you, troylbowen. I hope i'm clear this time.
AND IN THIS CORNER....
robbery, DShide - You are the ones blowing this whole thing out of proportion! If people would mind their own business & stop "defending" others none of this would be happening. The reason Bighand's page is so controversial is because HE made it that way. He started this whole thing with his immature comments and unproffesional remarks and you're just going right along with him. Now you're bringing it to troylbowen's page & blaming it all on him. I suspect a little jealousy at work here. I'm sure I'll have to hear all about how untrue & cruel and mean this post is, but I've seen this going on long enough & you two are the instigators of the whole thing.
Thanks for the vote of confidence Kim. I appreciate it and I don't know how we are so low either. Keep telling your friends to come vote for us and maybe we can get up higher.
Oh yeah. I hear Rudy said I made some admission of being bighand hater over in his pages. I don't think anywhere I admitted anything of the sort. So, I just wanted to clear the air on that. And as I said in my responses to the powers that be, I never saw anything that Bighand Hater said that was actually offensive. Now get out there and spread the word!!!
I am not letting the ranking get me down. If I was I wouldn't be out there spending money for ads all over the internet. I WANT to win this thing, otherwise I wouldn't have entered. I will tell you that I did get a bit down when I felt a bit attacked by their email. Because despite how you explain it I didn't get that feeling. I am not sure why they would send me an email telling me that those comments might be detrimental and ask me what I know about it if they weren't giving a veiled threat. However, after some food and sleep I am not going to let that bother me. I am going to do what I can to move up in this competition and end up in the best way I can. Now, keep coming back to read more and go tell all of your friends to come read and VOTE for Golden.
I think it's the new avatar Mike.
So what you're saying is I'm unreasonable, bombastic, unsociable and mean-spirited the rest of the time? I'm so misunderstood :-(
mpd57,
Mike, that's the most reasonable, non-bombastic, sociable and community-spirited post I think you've ever made.
When did you become the "good cop?" I missed the memo.

Wow. I love the art and the setup is very professional. I don't know why you're ranked so low. This is a very well written and drawn comic! :D
more fans than normal have come out swinging this month, for whatever reason. Still you can only be responsible for what you say not someone else.
Troy, I think there's a bit of a disconnect going on between you, Zuda and some of the other competitors. This competition has turned into a bit of a mess, but I think it's all down to some simple misunderstandings. You're not the first person to be frustrated by being in the lower order of the rankings, but I do get the impression you're letting things get out of hand in a self-destructive kind of a way. I don't think Zuda has threatened you with anything. Haven't they just said get as many people as possible to vote for you and comment and favourite AND if it's all from the same IP so what. The people who are coming on from your IP are being very aggressive and rather than supporting you, which is what they should be doing they are attacking someone else. All Zuda is saying is it's making you look bad. No one is ever really hurt by this kind of aggression except the aggressor and his associates. That's all they are saying. You seem to have got it in your head that you've lost and it's not fair. Heck, I'm not in the competition, so from where I'm sitting you've won. It's what I've said all along about these talkbacks - you can never make yourself look that much better, but you sure can make yourself look a lot worse. I wish you the best Troy, I really do, but you could do with losing that attitude. It's not doing you any favours.
Now, as a kick in the pants go get everyone you know to vote for Golden. Even you RKB. Even if you prefer others you can swing some other people my way!!!
That is all there is to it on my side. I feel at this point like the competition is almost pointless. Why would I believe that even if by some stroke of amazing happenings I came out a winner that there would be any type of a workable relationship. I also feel like there is not really much use submitting any further comics because if they have these types of feelings I would ever stand a chance of making it back into the contest again. I won't ever quit, not in my nature and I will fight tooth and nail to get as far as I can. Just kind of defeating to think about the future given their perceptions or attitude.
I agree with Troy (if that's all there is to it), Ron, Dave, anyone: come on a half way veiled we will kick you out of this contest warning e-mail is lame TPTB need to say something about this in public as in here in the comment section no redaction. Having your workers vote for you I see nothing wrong with that, and I don't think Troy is trying to be a fire-starter now.
I also am not going to be voting for golden because of other comics I like more, but still it seems like it's McCarthy trying to catch a communist (who is Bighandhater???) around here these days.
Sheesh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess it just isn't fair for them to make comments that some people don't like!
Wait, I haven't left yet. I just got an email from Zuda editorial. Despite all comments to the contrary they now say that comments by people that support Golden and happen to have the same IP address as me (think employees) may be detrimental to my participation in this competition. This after Ron made these comments in the Zuda Message boards in response to my questions.
"ronperazza - Guys, If we banned or limited accounts in some way based solely on IP then we'd be limiting ourselves. We're all in the same building, right up and down the hall from each other. It's entirely fair to encourage your co-workers, family member or roommates in the same household or place of work to register and vote."
Off to take my lovely wife to dinner. Payday, and around these parts that means shopping and spending it all as fast as we can. I will check back in and see if anything is happening around here later this evening. See you in a bit.
Thanks RKB. There are plenty of stories sitting around here in my head and in countless .pdf documents. I have one that I REALLY want to do but it might not fit the Zuda framework. But then again it might because it is black and white and Rudy is a hit with his. We shall see.
If it doesn't work out I think you 2 should try again, after you got the kinks out with Golden your 1st team-up you could really bring another great story.
That is my goal. Trying to get ads everywhere. And in Golden's case I am hitting traditional anime and manga type sites even thought this really doesn't fit squarely into they sites.
Okay, okay, truth be told split personalities can be a bitch to deal with right MP -I mean me.
**************************************************************
I am kind of surprised in the number of would be comic creators on comic writer artists sites like DW, PJ etc; that still don't know what Zuda is???? Those ads could really work on moving up your rank.
Yeah. I know you aren't. I was just trying to make a point. People are getting a bit nutty. I just want to get back to the comic and seeing what happens.
Just so you know. I'm not RKB or anybody else ... yet. If I am RKB and don't know it then that was a pretty freaky conversation I had by email with myself. Hmmm?
I am also trying to figure out what DSHIDE thinks is so similar between identities. When I pull up people all I see is their avatar, maybe their age, maybe a comment and then any favs or friends. When I look at everyone on here almost all look the same. Most don't have an avatar and most have only one or two friends or favs. Woooo, eery! I guess all avatars that have animals must be the same person by DSHIDE's thinking because that is the only thing I see similar. He also talks about similar speech or typing styles. Again, if you go by that many people on here are the same person. Many people use * or - to separate their comments since Zuda smooshes everything together if you don't. I guess MPD and RKB are the same person by either argument. It just all makes me laugh. I am done venting now. Thanks for listening.
Oh, and I also want to comment on DSHIDE's statement about us moving ahead of the Colonel. I attribute this to people spreading the word and the fact that I placed MANY banners out on popular comic sites to try and attract people to the comic. From the statistics I have from the ad site about 400 people clicked the ad bringing them to golden and zuda. If they voted great, if not maybe they gave a vote to others here. And that was for only 4 days that it was posted. I am now putting out even more ads that are larger and in more prominent places. It seems to work, others would do well to try it.
Hey everybody. I am up early today. A new day and new challenges. I will say that I will no longer read or comment on anyone else's pages from this point on. Too much drama. Just keep reading and getting people to vote. It seems they want to keep everything isolated and have problems when fans of one comic make bad comments about another. Oh well. That is life. Now go get everyone to vote for Golden.
Hey sexy boys! I love your comic. I come back to read it & look at the art every day. Your talent really turns me on! Keep it comin' guys!! Love ya!
Woooohooo. Back to 9th. Let's keep moving. One place per ranking will get us up there. Come on everyone. The dark horse is the way to go. 10th to 1st. Get on the wave!!!
Thanks RKB. I appreciate that. You will get more, even if it isn't here. But tell your friends. 10th to 1st. Let's ride that wave.
I don't think it's a comic about bestiality, but I don't have a problem with hater names either.
I just wonder who was the man/woman/monkey behind the avatar???
By the by, you just got a fav from me, Golden kinds of grows on you after a few reads...
I love it. Create a comic about bestiality and everyone is cool about it. Create a name hating on said comic and they kick you off the site. You have to love freedom!
Almostgottazoo sent over the Heavy Hottie to vote for you baby!
A Golden Boy
A golden boy was growing up
Kintaro was his name,
His friends were furry critters,
But they loved him just the same.
The sky was filled with clouds,
The land was cold & grey.
He could not find his mother,
Why had she gone away?
You got my vote guys! Almostgottazoo sent me over :)
Golden should be #1! You got my vote & my 5 starts too.
