Listening to 11.975MHz part 8

Previous: http://oddbagel.tumblr.com/post/50544171912/listening-to-11-975mhz-part-7

If I were to describe Listening in one word, it would be "Abrupt".

One thing will be happening, and suddenly something completely different is happening. The same goes for the character development. There was no indication that Deco was an aspiring film director until this page. Part 8 of Listening focuses entirely on Deco's directorial ambitions.

A little known fact about Listening is that it actually had a supplementary book that explained many things about its characters and lore. Unfortunately, all copies of the book were lost when its publisher's building burned down in fire. The fire was ruled an arson, but to this day no suspects have been found.

I'm not the conspiracy theorist type, but I have a few ideas as to who could have committed such a crime. If you've been paying attention to the comic at all, you would have noticed that it used quite a bit of found art. People, especially on the internet, are really protective of their art and don't want any fool freely viewing it like the internet is some sort of anarchist democracy.

In the early years of the new millennium, reactions to unauthorized use  of artwork on the internet were rather severe. People didn't think much about creating a record of webcomic history in the early days. There was no Encyclopedia Dramatica to keep a tab on all the nefarious things that went down in webcomic circles (they actually called them e-comix back then), so I have no sources for what I'm about to tell you, but believe me when I say that it is all true. There was a violent retaliation when it came to light that a famous, at the time, e-comix artist named BusyBuddy13 had traced several panels from an obscure e-comic who's name has been lost to time.

BusyBuddy13 was assaulted by several masked e-comix fans. His assault only sparked more violence against plagiarists in the e-comix community. Those involved in the e-comix community referred to the series of violent events as "Bloody January". The violence would have continued if it wasn't for several high profile, at the time, police busts. Listening's publisher was burned down during right near the end of Bloody January, so it's safe to assume that some angry fan, tired of Listening's unauthorized used of stock photos and bad furry artwork, took it upon his or herself to do away with it.

Whatever the case, it still stands to reason that there will never be an internet comic scene as violent as the early webcomic scene. The body count in the first week of Bloody January alone stands as a testament to the ruthless nature of webcomic culture.
