The crazy brother of Chris "Sore Thumbs" Crosby, Bobby is a true treasure trove of insanity who will scream what a liar you are if you disagree with him while claiming how miuch he "hates his comics" for anyone who wants to delve into it. Crow Scare (from what little I've read) is not bad, Marry Me and +EV are his two biggest offenders. +EV is gaming comic for poker players with a total insensitive asshead of a main character along with shitty art and painfully unfunny jokes that are mostly about the characters pissing each other off by being themselves. Marry Me (a romantic comedy) could be a decent comic if the characterization was better and there was some actual romantic tension between the "married" couple, Stacia and Guy. It takes about 40 pages before Guy realizes that he shouldn't be a bump on a log and actually participate in the plot and Stacia's character isn't very consistant either. For the first half of the story she comes across as a silly, emmotional, immature and immpulsive type who lives in her own little world and is under her dominering, charity-hating father's thumb and boom, you find out she gives about 97% of her share of the profits to charity and not just one, but a whole bunch of them that she loves to help out in because she just cares so much and "doesn't need the money" despite the fact that she has no qualms dragging her eight-months pregnant sister\manager on a spur of the moment plane trip to Africa to escape her father than explain to him why she's now married to a man she never met. I've also head Last Blood or whatever the zombie apocalpse one is called has some problems that drove Crosby to a rage upon the writer of the review. So if you like handling psychos, his comics are for you.
I've not heard news from Bobby for a long time. Last time was years ago when the whole of Keenspot's authors threatened to leave if Bobby had anything to say in the running of Keenspot, due to the fact he's an immature, unlikeable bell-end.
Bobby Crosby is, imo, worlds better than his brother writing talent-wise. Granted, +EV sucks, a lot, and Marry Me is only good tolerable for the token wacky lesbian character, Dreamless is actually a decent read. As opposed to Sore Thumbs, which just outright sucks.
His art is terrible, though, no qualms there. And the man's most certainly nuts. But he's got Dreamless going for him. Yeah. So a step up on Chris.
I have to admit that. Have you seen Chris' other comic, Wicked Powered? It's a better than sore thumbs, but it's just another nerd fantasy with flat characters and dull jokes.
Marry Me would be a much more interesting series if the wacky lesbian married Stacia instead of guy (Stacia would be dumb\impulsive enough to mistake her for a boy if she wore a heavy jacket). He's also got one called Last Blood and Crow Scare. Crow Scare of than the unnecassary f-bombing in the early pages was ok so far.
Yeah, I was rooting for Stacia/Parker, too. Or at least that Parker would get with her sister. The last page shows her with a girl pretty much everyone mistook for the sister but apparently wasn't her.
Ironic thing is that Stacia and Parker have a lot more chemistry than Stacia does with Guy (given the last time I read it.)
I write CROW SCARE (with Brew McCloud), not Bobby. Bobby hates CROW SCARE.
I also have been writing and drawing a comic strip daily for over a decade called SUPEROSITY (http://www.superosity.com). You probably won't like it either, but that's my "true" writing style.
I enjoy working on SORE THUMBS and WICKEDPOWERED, but they were written primarily for the money, not because they're the kind of thing I love to write. They both are purposefully created to be as dumb and pandering as possible. Heck, WICKEDPOWERED was a paid advertisement for a handheld laser manufacturer. And CROW SCARE is intended to be a SCI FI Channel original movie illustrated on cheap newsprint.
Yes, I haven't aimed very high thus far. Bobby's goal with everything but PUPKIN and +EV has been to write fantastic blockbuster movies in graphic novel form. Maybe I should try that…
Oh wow. Chris Crosby. So is Superosity your true drawing style too? You draw that one yourself, right? Because goodness gracious, man. From now on, I am going to envision you as a man with an incredibly pointy upper lip, like some kind of man-sparrow, just to justify that art style.
My lip is only pointy when I smile. When I'm not, it's a large round blob.

So you're basically admitting to being a hack that panders to the lowest common denominator for money?
Good to know.
Though with CROW SCARE, I'm pandering to the lowest common denominator for fun, not money. Because comics about giant birds that eat people haven't yet proven to be reliable profit machines, to my knowledge.
You haven't seen much vore furry porn, have you?
I'm just saying, you take Big Bird from Sesame Street and have him eating Elmo, you could make some big money.
You should probably do that instead of your comic.
EDIT: You know, for the money.
I'll make that the new theme of GOD MODE.

EDIT: You know, for the money.
Don't forget, it should be anal vore, followed by ovipistion, or it won't work.
EDIT: DUrrrr me dunno about posteeng!
Goddammit, you're right.
Crosby! Come back! You're gonna do this shit wrong! ELMO'S GOTTA GET SHOVED IN BIG BIRD'S ASS AND GET SHIT OUT AS AN EGG FURS GOTTA BE FAPPIN' FOR UR BIG MONEY SCHEME TO WORK AREN'T YOU LISTENING
Someone out there has found this page through google, and is quite disappointed.
Uh, I mean, as in "I bet someone out there has that exact same fetish, he looked in google typing those exact same words, and now is disappointed, for he expected explicit ELMO'S GETTING SHOVED IN BIG BIRD'S ASS AND GET SHIT OUT AS AN EGG FURS fanfiction, and he didn't find it.
Ah.
Well there you are.
Yeah, yeah, they're gonna be disappointed.
Edit: GODDAMMIT CROSBY WHERE ARE YOU YOU HAVE TO DO THIS SHIT RIGHT
You guys need to do a webcomic, you're LOL hilarious.
I will allow it onto Comic Genesis, it'll be that good.
Do it for a minimum of three years on Comic Genesis first, then we'll consider it for Keenspot.
All right, as hilarious as the idea of Chris Crosby doing Sesame Street oviposition slash porn for money is, we must remember that this thread is about his brother.
Mr. Crosby, do you have any points other than "My brother hates the comic you said he makes, and I only do Sore Thumbs and Wickedpower for the money, therefore the shittiness of them doesn't matter, and check this Superosity comic out these big-fucked-up-lips people spouting nonsense are my REAL DRAWING/WRITING STYLE"?
You've skewed some of my points to fit your own negative point of view, but yes, that's about it.
"Big-fucked-up-lips people spouting nonsense" would be a great back cover blurb for the eventual book collection, though.
Woah, webcrap creators writing in them makes threads going haywire it seems. @_@
Anyways, dunno about his brother, but Chris's stuff definitely looks wiki-worth. Sore Thumb's recent Afghanistan arc is just awful. There's not enough money in this world to justify this piece of shit.
They're in Iraq, not Afghanistan.
And there's already a SORE THUMBS article on here.
We need to make a thread for your stuff is what ForcedJapanese is saying.
With Chris's stuff I meant actually Wickedpowered and Superosity plus an own thread specially for you.
Why is than bin Laden there?
Um, because he found a way to break the invisible energy barrier that keeps him from ever leaving Afghanistan.
(We recently revealed that Osama Bin Laden is the MOTHER of one of the main supporting characters. In spite of what you might've heard, SORE THUMBS isn't entirely fact-based.)
