Secret Political Ideology Catgirls Comic Collaboration Spoiler Fun Thread

SPOILER WARNING
Every post besides this may have spoilers!

This is a thread for collaboration on catgirls comics. This could be a good way to make learning about theory entertaining. I have no idea how it'll turn out, but it's worth a try. If it doesn't work out, I'll keep going for a few months anyway. The self-imposed deadline is on the 1st and 15th of every month.

Please spoiler all relevant contributions and discussion. You can use saging to keep this thread off the front page more and make it more secret. This shows how to spoiler text: 8ch.net/faq.html
You can't spoiler whole posts, do it for each line of text.

This needs drawfags, writefags, and theoryfags. Maybe there could be a way to signal for more specific theory so theoryfags don't have to get spoilers to participate, like not spoilering some theory-related question.

A basic production pipeline to use: Start with an idea, then flesh it out with discussion and contributions until it gets to be a complete script. Then draw the comic for that script, with potentially a storyboard in between.

There should be some kind of quality control. A starting guideline is for every comic to have at least two funny parts and at least one interesting point of theory or social commentary, but this is just a guideline. It's good to use simple responses for approving and disapproving contributions, like yea or nay, or something like that.

Here's a pastebin that will be updated to organize things. It will have spoilers! pastebin.com/ELtaQupi

The creative process can be unappetizing. Gruesome, even. If you don't want to see how the sausage is made, then don't look in the kitchen!

To start with, here's what I have so far. Some ideas and a close to complete script. They're pastebins for extra spoiler-protection.

Script - "Porky visits": pastebin.com/pyd45Q0d
some ideas: pastebin.com/BTvdpWGE

Now discuss these and post your own ideas I guess.

Remember to spoiler

porky is sailing a ship, ship is passanger powered and because of some internal contradiction it is slowly sinking. Porky refuses to acknowledge that theres something wrong with the ship - out of this monty python like comedy happens. Main characters are baffeled with stupidity and make some witty comment.

I love that script lmao

I feel like maybe "–There he is! Quick, hide!" should be in its own panel though

why am i not allowed to hug a catgirl

just read liberal media and piss on their narrative as it trainwrecks itself every few weeks

Because catgirls are fictional and don't actually exist… yet.

I was hoping for ideas more centered on specific ideologies or characters. Neoliberalism cat can act out the things liberal media says, but that's going to get old quickly.
Still, the early idea stage shouldn't have any quality control. Even if it ends up not being used, it doesn't hurt anyone to post them, so go ahead.


Maybe. But remember, more panels makes it harder to make, especially if those panels aren't plain dialogue.

Alunya and Rodina walking back from school and holding hands.

That's it.

Well I came up with these Ideas.

Think we could possibly make some pornographic/educational propaganda for dissafected proles? At least to spell out what words actually mean, and not their modern Orwellian modern counterparts. I also had an idea where a bunch over angry, possibly classcon workers got together, ganbanged their boss before kicking him out and turning their place in a co-op with alternative energy.

I immediately thought of this: bturn.com/10286/soviet-erotic-alphabet

find a more organised way of doing this. even a new board or a thread on /leftyweeb/ or something. I'd offer using /btan/ but it's still down.

Panel 1: Rodina: "I hear there's a new student"
Panel 2: Alunya: "Anything's better than An-cap cat"
An-cap cat, To side In thought bubble coming from Alunya: Massive screed about how not letting her murder lifelong contracted workers is the REAL violation of the non-aggression pact
"BUT THEN"
Panel 3: Class I'd like to introduce feudalism cat. (Literally palette-swapped ancap cat))
Panel 4: Alunya tears at her own hair as feudalism cat goes on the same screed except about how not letting her murder serfs is the REAL violation of the feudal contract

Good ideas, comrade!


Maybe try the OC thread for that. You won't get as many responses this way, and it's not really a spoiler.


That's good. Especially because it would be easy to make. I feel like it's incomplete by itself though. Maybe there could be more of a backstory to feudalism cat, like she's ancap's twin or something? And they like to pretend they're more different than they really are. Like in a later panel, ancap cat comes in and says she's not really at all like feudalism cat, but fails at proving it.


I don't know, I like the avant garde disorganization here. There wouldn't be nearly as much idea posting anywhere else. Here the barrier to contribution is really low.

But if it's really annoying for people to try to avoid the spoilers, then it should move. How annoying do you think it is? Is it annoying for anyone else?
Maybe the red text saying every post may have spoilers makes it more annoying than it has to be. The spoiler tags are working fine to hide the spoilers.

u havin a giggle m8?

NO

We must make it big and boring instead because this is totally how you get people interested in your ideas.

wow i've never seen anyone defend edutainment with 'no fun allowed' before

Some simple paint storyboards like are likely to prove helpfull too.

Did someone say cat girls?

:^)

Maybe that would be better for another comic but it dilutes the essence of "anarcho-capitalism is literally feudalism with different vocab for the same concepts, prominent an-cap thinkers even state that feudalism is preferable to anything that isn't ancapistan"

Yeah, you're right. Your joke definitely works best as a punchline. I just wanted to expand on the idea because your script could work almost as well as a meme as it can as a comic. The only reason to make it a comic is the palette-swap joke. But it is a good joke, and it would work fine as a short comic.
With comics, you can do special things that you can't do with memes, like having characters interact, do stuff, have personalities, react to situations, and so on. So I think it's worth making use of these.
Maybe the setup could be expanded instead. Maybe Alunya is doing something with ancap cat, or wants to get away but can't somehow, and there can be more jokes and stuff at this part. Then she finally gets away, and for the punchline it turns out she gets into exactly the same situation but with feudalism cat, and feudalism behaves exactly like ancap cat.


I'll make something for the script I have.

I drew Rodina.

Then I remembered I can't draw.
Why did I say I would make these comics again?

The plot thickens

Based you

Made a storyboard for Porky Visits. Only the art and theory is missing.

But, oh no! I seem to not be able to draw and not know any theory! How can this comic ever get finished??

I think we should get rid of the serves me right part seems kinda bad tbh

Please use spoiler tags for that kind of discussion.
I think it's funny at least. The ancap should respond with something though. Can you think of a better punchline?

Saging to keep this off the front page more.

background

M-my private court will settle this just you wait!
Deleted previous post and polite sage cuz fucked up spoiler

Fuck that shit, i'm going to sleep.

**sp
oiler**
spoiler


Eh, maybe "We'll see what my private court thinks about that!" or "Not according to my private court!" But this isn't ancapistan so it wouldn't actually matter. Then it could be "If you're so sure of that then I challenge you to arbitration in my private court!" But that's getting too long and complicated. I like mine because it's really short and has a nice contrast with the ancap claiming the bag for herself, which helps to make fun of her. It also resolves things a little better.

All is going well, comrades. I made a picture.

work in progress bunch of sprites of the catgirls. did I forget any, or are mutualism and titoist the only ones left without a name?

There's two more sketches of unnamed catgirls on this page: politicalideologycatgirls.com/gallery/
I'm not aware of any others.

more panels

Comrades, I am pleased to announce that the five-year plan is proceeding smoothly. We shall have many catgirls at the end of these five years!

Massive spoilers ahead! Only read if you're a member of the inner party:
I'll be perfectly frank. This thing is going down in flames. First of all, this collaboration thread is a facade. Really just a convoluted lure to try to get someone to draw for me without the artist realizing that I need them. Obviously, any real collaboration for making comics should start with some reliable means of actually drawing comics, and I can't draw. I think I'll be able to finish this one, but now I'm completely out of ideas of what and how to draw. The shitty paint spray art style I have is extremely limited in what it can make, and there's not nearly enough collage material to do collaging consistently instead. Despite this I have to somehow make 3 more. I should explain how I got myself into this mess.
I made ep.12 on March 31 as an ironic joke after catgirl drawfag quit because an user ironically said that someone had to learn to draw catgirls and make more. I knew what I had to do. I drew a thing badly in paint that was sort of funny, intended as a one-time thing. Then someone ironically said they liked it and asked when the next one was. I couldn't drop the irony so I played it straight and said that I would continue the old schedule. I thought that if nothing else I could make really awful comics to troll everyone while everyone begged me to stop.
I couldn't draw, but I made up for that by getting the slightly passable paint spray style because it was funny how bad it was. I still couldn't draw anything except the characters standing and walking, but I thought of a comic that could get around that. Of course it had to be about a snake, and I made the writing as autistic as possible to match the art style. I couldn't keep using that art style though, because it would get really old really quickly, and it could only draw characters who were identifiable purely through the color of their clothing and their hair.
I posted ep.13 with a short message saying that I'll continue making them. I made the message short and to the point so that I could pretend it was ironic if I really couldn't or if people didn't like it, and that it wasn't ironic otherwise. The response was much more positive than I expected. It took me so aback that in response to a message saying I should really continue making them, in a moment of insane self-confidence I dropped all pretense of possible irony and said I would continue for "a few more months." The least a few could be is 2, and with 2 comics per month, that means I would need 4 new comics. And this when I had just one script I was worried I couldn't make and I was already running out of ideas.
I immediately pushed for collaboration when I realized my mistake. I made this thread here so it would increase the likelihood of people coming in and I hoped for a miracle to cover my ass. Alas, none seems to be coming.
You might wonder why I would go to such lengths constructing this facade, pretending I could actually make comics of scripts that aren't specifically made to work with an extremely limited art style, and why I couldn't just ask someone to draw and continue according to their response. You would be failing to understand the subtleties of collaboration. The first rule of collaboration on the internet is that no promise is worth anything. The best way to get someone to work with you is to make it easy for them to do and make them think it's their idea. Otherwise, you're likely to make plans that fall through. I had to pretend I could do anything and didn't need anyone to make it seem like people's time wouldn't be wasted if they participated. So as you can see, convoluted means such this was really the best possible way of proceeding.
All of this leads me to the inescapable conclusion if I'm to keep my stupid promise and for catgirl comics to survive. Every single comic must be made in a new and increasingly abstract art style, ranging from modernism to postmodernism. It must play with the supposed forms and preconceptions regarding art, and construct and subsequently deconstruct a new revolutionary art for a new world. The sheer variety will keep readers from noticing I can't draw. This is the only way forward.
But even this can only be a stopgap measure that delays my demise. The inherent contradiction of being a comic artist who can't draw must ultimately destroy me.
If you reply, please say "That's good to hear, comrade!" outside of spoilers. It helps the remaining facade.

Good to hear, comrade.

...

Could someone post this picture at a higher resolution? I can only find it in this size which would make things awkward.

Ah, man this is kind of sad, you guys really like your cat girl mascots, huh? I like them too.

Alright, "hypothetically" if I was a semi-professional level artist that could take up the helm of making Political Ideology Catgirl OC for you guys, and I could post some OC later today, would that make you happy?

...

I miss Catgrill ;_;

That would be pretty cool.

More panels. I'll leave the theory part as it is even if no one fills it in. I already decided I'm not writing it and it works as a joke anyway.

Also, some glitchiness is hiding newer posts for me until I post. This is the second time it's happening.

Thanks comrade!


Hypothetically, I would say you'd be putting band-aids on a cancer patient! Post OC if you like, but don't do it out of pity or to make anyone happy. Do it for catgirl communism.
I don't want pity.
I don't want socdem charity.
All I want is respect.

I'm more interested in making comics than anything else. If you want to collaborate then we should talk about what the next comic should be about. Do you have any preferences for characters, what sort of things to draw, and so on? I should write things to fit your art style, whatever it is. This thread might not be the best place for discussion, so we can talk somewhere else if you want.
Consider the next deadline to be June 1st instead of May 15th unless things go extremely smoothly, just so things don't get too hectic and mess up the quality.

The joke works better with one less panel. Also, that porky is great. Do you have a cut-out for it?

Good to hear, gomrade!
There is a comic being made right now, by someone who can draw, so we won't be comicless forever

You mean removing panel 7? I guess it gets boring but I was worried panel 8 wouldn't be enough alone for substantive theory if any comes. I made her eye-color change up to make it less boring, but that's hardly noticeable. Part of the joke is that in panel 9 Alunya stops listening and wanders off, and it being longer makes that part better. I think I'll keep it as it is, but I'm still open to potentially changing it.

For that picture, I edited one I found on leftybooru. Here's the original and the edit.


Thanks, comrade!
Good to hear, comrade! Can you expand on that? Who's making it? Are there any links you can give? When are they planning on posting it? (So I wouldn't have to make anything for that date.)

It's about Alunya and Alt-Right cat arguing about whether the police are a good thing.
My friend is drawing it, I wrote it. No links as of yet, and I'm not sure where to post it.
I'm not sure when they'll be finished either. They don't know.

Post it here. If you want to give it permanent residence use twitter and booru.

Will do when we finish it

whoops shitposting flag

Here's the finished comic I'll post tomorrow. I cut that closer to the deadline than I would have liked.

I'm not sure if there should be a label for the ancap cat. It's nice to introduce characters, but that panel is already really crowded and mentioning the NAP gives her away as an ancap anyway. I'm leaning very slightly towards having the label at the moment.

Judging by the response, I might have to go back to plan A, continuing to make these while everyone begs me to stop.

Does anyone want me to keep this thread alive? I don't know if I want to make the next one publicly. And most of the point of this thread is gone now since I couldn't attract a drawfag.

...

these comics are fucking horrible

Communism must live on, you don't need to be the one to create the whole thing, we just need to work together. It's just like what old Santa believed in, "Love your work, your work is an art form". It was a staggering start but a revolution does not happen in a day. We must continue to prevail at any cost. We must work as one to protect our culture. Drawfags, writefags, shitposters, lurkers alike WE MUST ALL UNITE!

Y'all can't draw.

i want to pet alunya

That's a nice hope, but this thread already shows that collaboration like that didn't work out. It's telling that you're only asking people to do something instead of doing something yourself.

I'll keep this thread alive only if someone wants to actually use it. I'll keep making comics either way though.
