Interesting.

fight scenes in color, YES!!!!

It'll continue at both Alcoholics Anonymous AND at AMALGAMATED ARTISTS (.com).
i don't have my next zuda idea yet, so for now, the greek train wreck CHILDREN OF BIGHAND will continue as a webcomic. FIGHT SCENES WILL BE IN COLOR.
Thanks for the comments, everybody.

keep your head up, rudy baby! Been a fun competition with and i wish you all the best with your store!

Your praise and encouragement mean a lot to me and i hope you either keep bighand going or you give Zuda another shot! you'll have my vote!

Thanks very much! You did it all yourself for a singular vision. I was very lucky to find Mauro, since if I'd drawn it myself, well...it wouldn't even be competing. Mauro makes HANNIBAL what it is. And anyone who speculates Prescott Bush was actually Dracula is okay by me. :)

Hey, Rudy - thanks for making it fun! Now vote ACTION, OHIO! ;)

Allright, already.
Moderator, can we get a hand-slap in here?
Whether a fan of another comic or not, it is really unkind to talk like this on someone else's thread when their thanking readers and editors for their support.
Without question I think your specific comments have been the worst thing to hit the Zuda environment since it began. If future competitors were to see your comments as any kind of example of what they'd need to face in entering a Zuda competition I'm certain they'd think twice about entering.
To some kinds of people acting as a chat-room troll is very fulfilling I suppose, but in a environment like this, one in which people are putting their own hard work and ideas on display, your flaming is just destructive.
Troy, as a creator who's also involved in this competition, I find it hard to believe you'd say these kind of things and quite unlikely that you are in fact restyourpads. But if this person works for you, is part of your immediate circle of friends or a relative as most simple internet detectives suspect and you've not take the time to tell them them to shut up and stop being so negative then I think you're equally to blame. Zuda should be a supportive environment for creators. Always. As a creator yourself you should encourage that in friends and fans. When you don't it reflects badly on your own attitudes as it has this month.
So I'm calling in the moderator here and on the feedback loop and encouraging others to do the same regarding the comments from restyourpads. Hopefully these kind of negative flame wars will stop and Zuda can be used as a place to make comic creators feel welcome rather than the subject of ridicule and self-centered negative campaigning.
Rudy, it was a great run, man. Let the comments go now and we'll move forward.

Thank you to Kwanza and the ZUDA staff for giving me the shot and to Nika for the good news and for being my Zuda handler. Thanks to the moderator for making an appearance on my comment bar to tell restyourpads to coolhisjets. Thanks to Sheilah for playing Defense, and thanks to all my friends who signed up and fell in love with zuda. Thanks to all the zuda regulars who read my comic, and voted for it, or critiqued it and moved on. Thanks to Neil Kleid for playing along, even though he really didn't have to stoop to my level. Thanks to MPD for kicking my bawllz when i really deserved it, and thanks to Rob Berry for voting for my comic, even though i know he secretly wanted me to lose (kidding). Thanks to the Beastiality haters who made my comment bar interesting, and to everybody who asked questions. It was a fun month for me. Apologies for not naming each of you in this message, but thank you anywayz. I'm a zuda addict. See you on future competitor's comment bars. Competing was winning, and losing was fun anyway! Thanks to Zuda for calling all of us pros. its the best thing ever.
Rudy - Oklahoma.
Judgement night eve.

Let me make it absolutely clear. Pads is not me. Bighand hater was not me and as far as I know was not Pads either. You can say all you want but I can tell you without a doubt they are not me. Pads does what Pads wants to do. I don't have any personality disorders, thanks!

restyourpads...cough Golden cough... sorry had to clear my throat... Anyway, we all see through your bs.

COME ON EVERYONE!! CHANGE YOUR VOTE TO GOLDEN!!! THIS IS THE LAST PUSH! LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Suprrego. You are the first friend to serenade me, and i dig the song you chose to do it with. I thought your voice translated through text perfectly.

Awww, what the heck - the kids will be at AA if they lose. You know. Alcoholics Anonymous? yeah, they drink when they are sad. But trust me, nobody wants to see drunk CHILDREN OF BIGHAND. today is the last day, my friends! please throw in a few extra stars, knock on the add to faves button by the Children of Bighand Viewer, VOTE please!
Give it one last read if you want to before deciding on that final vote - i timed it - it only takes five seconds to read. make tomorrow's judgement day the day BEASTIALITY RULES zuda! its up to you.

Restyourpads, you devil. that is a nice diversionary tactic, accusing me of paranoia - it frees you from ever having to deal with the issues - like you've still never denied being BIGHAND HATER. I find this new act of desperation from Golden's troylbown to be really bawllsy. Good luck troy - hope you win the contest. I won't be the only suspiscious one if you do. Using the same laptop to register new zuda accounts over 100 times in the past twenty four hours to collect votes at this late hour in the game is awfully clever. Nobody else is going to do it because its too scary. it looks too much like cheating and none of us want to be disqualified. You insisting that its a legal move while you continue to stack up the votes in a truly fishy way (sorry, but thats just the way it is - suspiscious) just isn't enough to convince the rest of us in this uncharted territory that it is a move allowed within the rules of the game. Waiting till the last few days to use a highly questionable tactic to rise from ninth to first (that has to be your goal) might win you the respect of the zuda gatekeepers, while they crown you the winner of May's Zuda. It also might get you disqualified in light of your previously acknowledged and documented warning from on high about the multiple subversive personalities posting from your same ip adress (whatever the heck that is). Anyway, my star ranking is back to four today, so i'm satisfied. Way to go on the tactic, hope you win Troy, for your sake. I know i'd have a really terrible day if I got kicked out of the competition, so good luck with all that.

I believe kidgloves! Check it out - www.getordained.org - Welcome to the Universal Life Church, the only denomination in the world that opens its doors to all, and grants the privilege of online ordination to all who ask.

I am ordained.

Honestly.

It is quiet a "miracle" happening over at Golden.

Whoa, look at that - looks like my rating went down from four stars to three and a half today, suspiciously on the same day that whoever jumped from ninth to fifth in the ranking gained 84 favourites (jumping from 43 faves to 127). Looks like restyourpad's 83 aliases are ranking me low. Its a good tactic, restyourpads. Maybe it'll work, maybe i'll come in sixth, right underneath you. Congratulate all 84 of yourself. For the time being, it feels really good to be placed fifth. I'd like to thank the Zuda staff ahead of time, before i'm unthroned by 84 of the same person, for giving me a shot at the title! it was a beautiful month for me, and it is a very rewarding and emotional thing to be on zuda. DC COMICS announces you a professional, they give you the check to prove it, and they give you a taste of being a comics creator from the future. its good. i didn't lose a thing. and finishing sixth will feel just as good as fifth, if thats my fate. Personally, I still think i'm going to win - restyourpads, if you want to vote for me after all, all eighty four of your votes are always welcome here. but I'm ready for the final ranking ZUDA, (ZUDA meaning the staff and my friends, my family and my critiquers and even my haters) - I feel like a made guy. I appreciate the pro stamp next to my name (rudis). Its good.
zuda lovers and beastiality endorsers, I love you.
Vote for my comic, rate it five, add it to your faves, and add me as a friend. I've still got five days to fight off the army of one/84 to hold my block down on fifth avenue and zuda place.

You-me-I forgot about MPD, he's another one of my other personalities!!!

I say/write by the by, I think pads is trying to rip off my phrase.
;)kidding pads...

Is it June yet?
Please.

Green avatars are the best! thanks for the favourites, whoever did that today.

who did dat?

Thanks for the defense, DShide.
I think that the first appearance of a Zuda moderator on this thread may've put a lot of these issues to bed. Hopefully.
Some people seemed to be upset that I had something to do with the removal of "Bighand Hater" and it I'm getting some residual flack from that probably. Not that it bothers me personally, but its counter-productive to what the competition is all about. Its sad that a professional moderator seems to be the only answer though I am glad Zuda brought one in so quietly and efficiently.

Wow I leave for a week and it slows down in here. More I say more, we can't let this end now. And what is all this I here about my insane theory being plausible. I was only half serious when I said it but it seems I might have been more correct then I thought huh.
