I have been getting a bit of email regarding the latest Movie Comics “controversy” and I figured I should comment on it here just to clear some things up.
So Mr. Furious apparently created a new T-shirt design that has his characters dressed up as Gabe and Tycho. I guess he gets a lot of shit from people since his style looks a lot like mine and maybe this shirt is a little joke about that or something. Anyway, he says that we contacted him and that now he’s not gonna make the shirt because he doesn’t want any trouble. Honestly we do not care if he makes the shirt. He is just trying to drum up some publicity by creating a controversy that never existed.
It’s true that he has talked to Tycho, Brad and I about the shirt. Tycho told him to go ahead and make it, that there isn’t anything we could do. Brad sent him a mail and said he had a question about the design and asked Furious to get back to him, he just wanted to know if it was a joke or not. I told him to make the damn shirt. Does this sound like controversy? Does this sound like we want him to stop?
Here is the deal, contrary to what Furious might think we do not care about MC. Even if we really did want to stop him from making the shirt that would require us to spend money on some legal bullshit that we may or may not win. Keep in mind we are the same artists who get ass reamed by lawyers at least once a month. Does that honestly sound like something we would do?
If furious thinks that is a clever design or one that his fans will enjoy and purchase then I think he should go ahead and make it. I appreciate all the mail I am getting from PA fans suggesting we do something to stop him but it just isn’t that big of a deal.
-Gabe out
