Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press just because he wanted more people to read his comic – KAISER und GUTENBERG.
Now we can print stuff right at home. It’s so cool to live in an age where self-publishing is so easy to do! Thanks, Gutenberg!

Kidd: Webcomics can also make money from the merchandise. / Geezer: Like what?
Kidd: A book. / Geezer: Nobody is going to publish a book of stickfigures.
Kidd: I could self-publish! / Geezer: More like self-rubbish.

Geezer has obviously never heard of Cyanide&Happiness.
Geezer don’t know much about anything related to the internet. He wouldn’t even know what a webcomic was if it weren’t for Kidd.
I think Gutenburg was almost singularly responsible for advancing education. He also didn’t hurt the comic industry. Can you imagine what it was like to promote a comic strip before the printing press? You would have had to carry it around and show it to everyone. (Which is pretty much what I do now.)
The Egyptian hieroglyphs are all about comic strips. They painted them on the walls and gave tours.
If you didn’t laugh before the exit – then somebody got mummified.
You can do it, Kidd! Don’t let Geezer take your dream from ya!
That’s right! Some people never have anything nice to say.
I love the look on Kidd’s face in panel two.
Thanks Dave! I got lucky on that one.
Haha. Sooo many people would buy a book of stick figure comics…
