Jason Yungbluth is a cringey comic book writer/artist who a-logs obsessively about a # on twitter.

He owns his own publishing company, DeathRayGraphics, where he makes poorly done parodies of popular nostalgia characters.

Spoiler: Preview

Jason talking about his OC comic creation, Weapon Brown (A.K.A. Post-Apocalyptic Charlie Brown):

Kickstarter video of Weapon Brown:

One of his more well known creations is Clarissa, a dark humor comic about a young girl getting sexually assaulted by her father:

He first got on my radar while looking for content for the #Comicsgate thread, on this article by Bounding into Comics talking about troon colorist Tamra Bonvillain:

Since that article he’s been obsessed with John F Trent (EIC of Bounding Into Comics). Even mentioning him in stories that weren’t written by JFT:

He has a particular obsession with Pro-Trump artist Tim “the Mary Sue called me a White Supremacist” Lim’s promotional work.

He would take Lim’s promotions, alter them and use them as his own to market himself. The most pathetic part is that Tim’s promotions are made by himself to promote his own IndieGoGos and series from Antarctic Press:

For ease of comparison:


When he’s not acting like a sped on twitter he’s also acting like an asshole on the Wikis. On the Comicsgate wiki he got into an edit war with one of its contributors.

Spoiler: Before & After

Before:

After Jason's edit:

The edit war continued for >20 edits:

Until the other contributor gave up trying to reason:

Here's the part where we make fun of his appearance:

Thanks to @neural and @emspex for the help making this thread.

 

[Done]

The Grand Wizard is upon us, his powers unmatched by mere mortals.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

lol @ "Insert blue checkmark here".

Real subtle. Also real unlikely.

 

[Pope Negro Joe the XIIIth]

The joy on his soy face as that dick heads for his mouth says it all.

 

[Ol' Puss]

Good lord, that first pic tells me everything I need to know about this guy. I wouldn't leave a child alone with him. Especially with that comic centered around incest.

 

[ATaxingWoman]

Is there a reason why he was wearing that tinfoil sorcerer's hat?

 

[Feline Darkmage]

Is there a reason why he was wearing that tinfoil sorcerer's hat?

So comicsgate doesn't brainwash him with their evil racism mind control waves.

 

[Bunny at Law]

Holy shit, I read that Clarissa series as a child. I think I found it on the sites that hosted scanned comics/manga? Why am I not surprised the author looks like a sped and a creep

 

[Powerdrilldo]

@Bunny at Law I feel the same way, I found the clarissa comic about a year ago and it actually horrified me to say the least, putting a face to the comic i'm not fucking surprised he looks like the kind of guys that have to go door to door in the neighborhood and announce their presence legally...

 

[Stock Photo James]

I always thought gaming had the biggest lolcows with all the Nintendo mandchildishness, indie and Youtuber ego trips and all that, but you know what? Comics sure have some incredible extra special people involved.

 

[Done]

I always thought gaming had the biggest lolcows with all the Nintendo mandchildishness, indie and Youtuber ego trips and all that, but you know what? Comics sure have some incredible extra special people involved.

Worse, comics has the lolcows that every other medium rejected. You take one look at people like Mark Waid, Gail Simone..etc, and you can immediately tell that they're not gonna walk into a TV show's writers' room or be able to sell a spec script to movie studios.

 

[Lunete]

I feel like I'm going to need a really long shower after reading that Clarissa comic.

 

[Death Ray]

That's not quite the same as what I was saying, but still that's a demonstrably weak argument for Yungbluth to have made because because, one, Meyer and Van Sciver are clearly not offended by the idea that they are in it for money (and I don't think anyone else not on the anti side is either), and two, selling a product to a voluntary consumer is not a "scam" by a reasonable person's definition, so long as the books actually get sent - and the jury's still out on that regard, but so far Stardust and Iron Sights have shipped, right? Any others yet?

Probably a better analogy is if, every time someone called Van Sciver a nazi, he posted a thirty-tweet-long thread about how much that word hurts him.

I don't believe I have ever called ComicsGate a "scam". The term I use is "racket".

 

[ForTheHoard]

@Death Ray seems to have made his presence known in the Comicsgate thread. He's in the process of being verified.

Edit: He's been verified.

 

[AnOminous]

I don't believe I have ever called ComicsGate a "scam". The term I use is "racket".

 

[Least Concern]

I don't believe I have ever called ComicsGate a "scam". The term I use is "racket".

I will still stand by my comment with the word "scam" replaced with "racket," but I'll humor you; what, in your opinion, is the difference between the two?

 

[linchan]

I don't believe I have ever called ComicsGate a "scam". The term I use is "racket".

Why do you associate lesbians with blue har? Kinda narrow-minded don't you think?

Also, ease up on your potty mouth here, we allow a bit of cursing in this Christian forum, but don't call people a bundle of sticks too much.

 

[SiccDicc]

I don't believe I have ever called ComicsGate a "scam". The term I use is "racket".

Okay, but a newbie like Meyer - even after tortious interference - got his comics out on time and Richard Pace still hasn't delivered his artbook after five years.

Wanna explain that one?

 

[Death Ray]

I will still stand by my comment with the word "scam" replaced with "racket," but I'll humor you; what, in your opinion, is the difference between the two?

"Scam" implies that the citizenry of CG is being ripped off through their purchases. "Racket", as I use the term implies a business that may be legit, but is still dishonest or lacks integrity.

Why do you associate lesbians with blue har? Kinda narrow-minded don't you think?

Also, ease up on your potty mouth here, we allow a bit of cursing in this Christian forum, but don't call people a bundle of sticks too much.

Yes, I understand how snowflakes talk. I will be good.

Okay, but a newbie like Meyer - even after tortious interference - got his comics out on time and Richard Pace still hasn't delivered his artbook after five years.

Wanna explain that one?

Why would I? My name isn't Richard Pace. All my Kickstarters have shipped on time.

 

[SiccDicc]

Why would I? My name isn't Richard Pace. All my Kickstarters have shipped on time.

Yes, but Richard Pace is Anti-CG and supposedly a professional. How can you claim Meyer is participating in a racket when he's delivered -- without bribery or extortion, but Pace hasn't and so far has only updated his Kickstarter because Meyer has fulfilled his end of the deal.
