Requested by an user in the Rocko thread. This comic is a fucking mess thanks to none other than Anthony Burch. It's such a shame, too because it didn't have to be this way. I like the art, there's a few decent jokes here and there, and this storyline could have worked if the writing hadn't been all Burch'd up, but this is what we got. Brace yourselves for cringe, folks.

The sloth on this page is from an earlier comic series. If this goes well maybe I'll storytime that one later.

One issue down, three to go. The first issue is honestly not that bad for Burch, but unfortunately he just can't help himself later on. I'll start working on issue 2 now.

Same, they’re off model just enough to be interesting

That sunglasses animal doesn't even look like a Rocko character. Pretty much that Boys Club guy.

And here we fucking go. I gave this comic the benefit of the doubt, hoping maybe the editor might tell Burch to tone down his usual bullshit because this is based on a kids' cartoon, but nope. We're going full Burch now.

Okay I admit I chuckled at this.

For some reason none of the Rocko comics acknowledge Filburt's marriage to Dr. Hutchison. It's disappointing because I think he's much more interesting that way.

Kevin Mitchell
Rocko is a good friend.
Cooper Scott
Elijah Hill
Agreeing with the industry beliefs or something.
Logan Martin
Two down, two to go. I really hate what was done to Filburt in this issue and it only gets worse from here.
Zachary Ramirez
I can’t believe this is a real comic and not a parody written by someone on Yea Forums
Kevin Reyes
>beta boy

Bentley Gonzalez
Ikr?
OP, thanks again. If nothing else, I'm loving the art.
Zachary Perry
I really do like the art a lot. It's just a shame it was wasted on Burch's writing.
Brandon Jackson
Isaiah King
Something similar to this happened with most of the Regular Show comics, which cut deep because I loved RS for being a modern show that wasn't that bad when it came to this kind of writing. Between Mordechai and Rigby holding hands, carving M and R into a tree, Tumblr OC chicks, oppression, and a large battle being halted because a female got hit by a rock, I never wanted to read comics again.
Ian Lewis
>Mordechai
fuck me
Michael Powell
OP here. My net went down and I have to post this on my phone. If it goes back up soon I will keep going. If it takes too long though I'm just going to go to bed and finish this in the morning.
Samuel Adams
Oh, it looks like we're already back! Hopefully that won't happen again.
Hunter Perry
No problem man, thanks for uploading as much as you have.
Thomas Collins
That was terrible, even if I didn't know Burch wrote this I'd still rate the writing just as poorly. Seemed more like somebody out there just wanted to do their own thing (and failing to put something good out there) instead of fashioning a comic story in the same vein as the original show.
Evan Ross
Mason Baker
saw that coming
Asher Jones
Isaac Flores
Burch don't drag detectives into this.
Zachary Sanders
Okay I kinda like that joke in the first panel.

Never expect modern writers to understand older characters. A great example is Daria.
Andrew Evans

God damn it, Burch.
Colton Gutierrez
Brayden Mitchell
Bentley Price
It's alright sometimes but not every fucking expression needs to make them look on drugs, even the more casual ones are overdone.
Sebastian Bailey
I could fill this entire thread just talking about everything I hate about Filburt's portrayal in this chapter.
Oliver Young
>>>>what do
For fucks sake.
Ryan Murphy
Mason Jenkins
I like that you care enough about the original to be annoyed at this new portrayal. I really hope none of this happens whatsoever in the new movie but I expect the often cringey writing like all the internet and tech talk earlier.
Matthew Perry
Josiah Torres
I hate greedy billionaires as much as the next guy but even for Rocko this is so on the nose that it just becomes pure cringe.
Isaiah Flores
Levi Walker
Caleb Ramirez
Joshua Phillips
Eh.
Kevin Garcia
>fake news
I'm leaving.
Kevin Davis
One more to go and thank god because I'm actually mad at how terrible this is. Rocko is one of my favorite cartoons of all time. Why did they give it to Anthony fucking Burch?
Angel Perry
But they were married
Leo Edwards
I actually thought that first issue with Filbert was pretty in character, but the m'lady stuff is obnoxious.
Overall I don't think it's THAT bad and the idea and art is a lot of fun.
Wyatt Allen
Man Butch really hates Jews huh
Chase Martinez
Filbert wanting to be a man and being kind of stupid about it would work, him being online on essentially what sounds like Yea Forums and all this Men's Rights fedora m'lady shit all combines to pure cancer. I can see the annoyance OP has. It's sad.
Ryan Gomez
Jackson Stewart
Xavier Morales
Oh definitely. It starts out totally in character but they spread it on SO thick.
Plus we all know Heffer is more likely to browse Yea Forums than Filbert.
Julian Williams
The eyes remind me of Zim, that's what I was trying to figure out this whole time.
Brayden Walker
Brandon Morris
Man, I'm REALLY not a fan of Ian McGinty's original stuff, but those covers are really cool.
Ethan Flores
Michael Hernandez
Wut?
Nolan Howard
Rocko is cute, especially in the framed photo.
Lucas Nguyen
Ayden Wright
>if the internet is creating zombies how do we stop it
dont tell me they go with the default "shut down the internet" route?
Jeremiah Anderson
Mason Peterson
I wish Burch was dead.
Aaron Diaz
Bentley Sanders
It’s just so unnecessary and irrelevant to the plot. I get that the whole comic is supposed to be a commentary on being radicalized by the internet but it’s so tacked on and OTT. I love a good incel joke as much as the next person but this is too much.
I also hate that Filburt isn’t married to Hutchinson anymore
Julian Lewis
I wish this entire fucking cancer was dead. It's gotten so many people Burch wouldn't make a dent.
Josiah Parker
Elijah Cook
It's alright, i never watched the show, so i'm probably not seeing all the shit they're getting wrong about the characters, but it's alright, a 5/10
Jacob James
>I love a good incel joke as much as the next person
Don't worry, you don't have to pretend. Everyone who posts that shit is 12.
Luis Jenkins
He probably wishes he was dead too desu
Kayden Hernandez
Is his pupil missing? From the angle of the other one it doesn't make sense to be behind his mouth.
Justin Stewart
why did the crew girl become a zombie?
Cameron Smith
Jack Brooks
Robert Parker
I guess they uh, read her the article or something? Man this comic's dumb.
Noah Phillips
Rugrats also did this dumb smartphone shit in its new comic series.
Wyatt Cooper
Ayden Nelson
Nolan Green
I fucking hate cheeky website references so much.
Brandon Kelly
I dunno, honestly none of this feels that far off from Rocko.
Filburt being corrupted into an incel, Heffer a games streamer, and Rocko just wants nothing to do with it all.
I think they laid it on TOO thick with Filburt, but I honestly think the concepts are there.
I also think they're relying a little TO much on silly wacky faces with Heffer? Like at times when it's not needed.
David Williams
I can't stand that these words are coming out of Rocko's mouth.
Colton Garcia
This looks like early Rebecca Sugar shit.
Luke Scott
I get the joke, but, like... why would the internet LOOK racist?
Brayden Torres
Ryan Russell
Yeah Rocko’s always been a satire on...modern life but there’s so much going on here, it’s a mess
Brandon Wood
I mean i haven't even watched the show and this feels way out of character, why would a dude who never uses the internet and still has a nokia brick have any opinion on if it was racist, like as a quick gag you might have something there but this is just stupid.
Justin Gonzalez
When has Rocko EVER whined about racism, and why would he think a machine could be racist even if he did?
Tyler Torres
Ok I legitimately can not believe this is a real comic.
Nathan Parker
All these jokes are just the worst to me, sure I can see Heffer being a streamer too, but it's done in such an annoying way, everything is. Only Rocko wanting to avoid it is working but they still use that for the whole "internet and tech is bad" shtick going on.
This is a direct assault to the IP.
Robert Garcia
Hunter Harris
I hate Anthony Burch so much.
Michael Scott
Man this thing really took a fucking head dive into the kids pool near the end
Zachary Taylor
The internet IS bad, because it's where Anthony Burch lives.
Eli Long
>toxic
>mansplaining reference
what the fuck
Grayson Richardson
hit too close too home?
Nolan Rodriguez
Ryder Walker
It sucks since I DO think this is a great idea that could really work, but it's just done in this weird way. Little out of character or obnoxious things that bog down a story that I think could really work.
Rocko destroying the entire internet COULD be a good story.
Jack Allen
FEMSPLAIN NATION.
Jacob Harris
Jackson Evans
This is why I don't bother with most modern stuff anymore and I sure as hell don't read comics. The writing makes me fucking hurt.
Caleb Turner
This part actually does feel in character for Rocko, at least.
Josiah Powell
Hunter Russell
They're really ruining these classic jokes.
Jose Bennett
Tyler Davis
Lucas Perry
I accept everything else, but this.
Anthony Carter
Rocko shouldn't know most of these things about the internet, I guess its writer's tunnel vision.
Lincoln Collins
Isn't Bev in her 50s? Why in the world would she ever say Puppo?
Ethan Nelson
Burch is a truly disgusting person and probably the shittiest writer on the face of the planet.
Gabriel Reyes
And we're finally done. You can practically taste Burch's bitterness when he takes jabs at the internet through his writing. You can virtue signal all you want, Burch, but it won't get you your Wii U back. The good news is that there are other Rocko comics without his writing that aren't half-bad. Tihis was fun despite how much I hate this comic so maybe I'll storytime those sometime.
Isaac Brooks
Well the writing is Fucking awful
I mean what a disconnect between the character and the dialogue, its almost lile he doesnt care at all
Justin Hall
Really had to shoehorn in that racism bit even if it didn't make sense, when he could have at least used it before and had in make sense in-universe.
Are... those meme arrows? I know everyone uses them outside of Yea Forums now but jesus.
Jace Harris
It bums me out since if someone came in and completely rewrote the dialogue, I think it'd be great.
Aaron Campbell
Is “Wallabies started the zombpocalypse” the new “Jews did 9/11”?
Thanks for the storytime OP!
Matthew Lee
Good art, writing that while not great did get a few chuckles out of me before the last issue, yeah, 6/10, not great, probably won't read it again.
Wyatt Jenkins
Great... Now i fear for static cling
Jacob Jenkins
This was awful, god bless you user for storytiming this and suffering
David Baker
I don't think Burch is on board for static cling, hope things stay that way.
Hunter Gomez
Why? He didn't write it.
Brody Morales
So the end moral is that "everyone should be nicer on the internet".
When it's a known fact that few people are as eternally butthurt, vitriolic and hateful as Anthony Burch is online.
In fact, every SJW like him does nothing online but spew bile, spread manufactured outrage and try to label people this and that to get others to hate them.
So how the fuck, I ask you, is this a reasonable moral when cooked up by Burch, that dumb fucking cuck, who wouldn't know what "being nice" means outside the context of letting your wife fuck whoever she wants?
Julian Scott
OP is just a butthurt incel. the comic is hilarious.
no wonder because he fixates on Filburt so much.
Daniel Ramirez
How will you know it's her if she doesn't say "'kay"
Christopher Torres
Totally different people involved
Juan Sanchez
Anthony, PLEASE kill yourself already.
Anthony Price
>expecting modern writers to be good
>even after the LGBT shit has been so important to the movie apparently that they had to have representatives of the community stay during the entire production
Jeremiah Wood
Thanks a lot for this, man.
Brandon Barnes
Imagine being a tranny, you can earn big bucks by simply existing by being a "community consultant" on projects like that.
Completely insane.
Julian Kelly
I can't be the only one reading every line in their voice.
Luis Reed
Goddamn why do progressives hate the free expression of ideas so much.
If you aren't radically far left your a toxic evil zombie to these people.
Benjamin Nelson
I tried but it was difficult with the way things were phrased. Not even just the terms, the structure of their dialogue being like "I am SO not ready for this!" feels wrong.
Josiah Bennett
>every butthurt user in this thread
Gavin Scott
That's what gets me. I can see how this concept would have worked if it just had a different writer at the helm but as it stands there are just too many out-of-character moments that take me out of it. Filburt and Hutchison's relationship was also one of my favorite things about the show so it bugs me that the comic split them up and turned Fil into an incel when he was always shown to be a loving husband.
Elijah Jones
They even had kids together, why, why, why, why
kizukeba I came too far
Dominic Rodriguez
Never let woke people write anything
Wyatt Phillips
The only funny thing about this is that Anthony Burch is the definition of an incel.
Involuntary celibate for decades because his wife didn't ever want to sleep with him, couldn't even get laid after he went gay, then bi.
Fucking tragic how he has to take out his incel frustrations on the industry like this.
Jack Thompson
Even nonincels write the same thing.
Henry Hill
He needs one to solve the case of his missing balls
Christopher Sanders
everything about this is abhorrent and burch should be ashamed
Alexander Wood
Heffer would totally be on reddit all that Reading the same Picture with another caption thoudands of times
Ryder Barnes
>a Fucking resident evil reference
You dont get to burch
Noah Stewart
>AHAHAHAHAHAHA
>HEY ROCK, GET A LOAD OF THIS ONE!
>oh yes ha ha ha isnt that funny
Heffer shoving his phone right up in Rocko's eye.
Luis Jenkins
man that top panel looks so fucking nice
Jackson Thomas
I disagree
this joke is very similar to the jokes in the original, the show often make fun of megacorps... Chummer
Hudson Robinson
>eat the brains, brush your teeth
Alright, that got a smile out of me.
Jaxon Bennett
I think he was talking about “turn the page, wash your hands”.
Dylan Nelson
Both.
Isaiah Rogers
I know someone storytimed one of the newer comics a while back, but I can’t seem to find it on Desuarchive.
Oh, okay.
Ryder Campbell
I don't thing just ANY tranny can be there
I bet you must be an active member of the community to get proposed as a community consultant. I hate the people that hang around the LGBT scene even though I'm gay, so to me it sounds like a lot bullshit just to be noticed
Nicholas James
I think co can fix this since the dialogue is the main problem. We should redo it ourselves.
Sebastian Watson
>they flanderized, retconned and used my girl as a mouthpiece
I can't believe I almost bought this when it come out. You're doing your community a great service OP.
Parker Collins
Didn’t they turn high five ghosts GF into a political mouthpiece as well?
Nathan Hill
It wasn't that bad.
I mean, it wasn't that good either, but...
Dylan Ross
Isn't the guy who created Rocko's Modern Life a raging leftist too?
David Stewart
Yes, always has been and there's nothing wrong with that. Mind you, he would've written a better comic than this.
Lucas Powell
I bet he'd love this shit.
Aiden Barnes
I think so, I remember not liking how they wrote her at all. Fucked over Fives by giving her such a shitty characterization that wasn't even in the series despite the hipster hairstyle.
Christian Kelly
Wow this was bad, and I never even watched Rocko.
Juan Thomas
That is really odd because that was a pretty big plot point on multiple occasions after the first season or so.
Asher Adams
Jesus Christ this is bad. Why would you even hire burch?
Bentley Price
something just feels so fucking wrong with this comic and i can't put my finger on it.
Juan Anderson
OP here. Would anyone like to see a storytime of the other Rocko comic? It's 8 issues long and I figured I could do two issues a day leading up to the movie's eventual release on the 9th if people are interested. The art isn't quite as good as this, but it's still serviceable and there's no Burch so the writing feels much closer to the characters.
Aaron Ross
Dude, what if your childhood cartoons were dark?
Kevin Lee
>tfw you're not Anthony Burch
Kevin Mitchell
I'd like that, OP, sorry I didn't answer quicker, I was asleep
Luke Phillips
Left leaner? Yes. Raging? No.
