This is a brief story of plagiarism on the Internet.
There is an insipid, worthless asshole named Todd Goldman out there whose claim to fame is apparently making a t-shirt that says something like, "Boys are dumb, throw rocks at them."
Allow me to say that every single person on this forum is capable of that level of idiocy, but you guys choose to not reduce yourself to that level. Hot Topic nonsense. I got one, I got one! "Boys are dumb. PRICELESS!" It could truly be a Goldmanism because he rips off Mastercard, which is par for the course for this guy. It's obvious that he has absolutely no talent and can't
do or produce anything.
That being said, he's recently making the rounds because he plagiarized another web comic artist.
From Wikipedia:
In April 2007, Goldman was accused of plagiarism by webcartoonist Dave "Shmorky" Kelly. Kelly's accusation was that Goldman's piece "Dear God Make Everyone Die," featured in his Gold Digger exhibit at Jack Gallery, was traced directly from a comic by Kelly, which was published on September 19, 2001 in his Purple Pussy series and reprinted in the book Keenspot Spotlight 2004 for Free Comic Book Day.
Following the accusation of plagiarism, the Webcomic community noted several other similarities between Goldman's characters and other preexisting works. His character Eve L. was compared to Roman Dirge's character Lenore, the main difference between the two being a lack of pupils in Goldman's work. His design known as "goodbye kitty" was also claimed to be a copy of Neko, an animated character from a computer program. [3]
Goldman has yet to respond publicly to the accusations of plagiarism.
I am AMAZED that someone presented this asshole's work in the first place. This is why nobody takes modern art seriously.
Okay, so, a bunch of people e-mailed him about this. His auto-reply?
Thanks for the inquiry…
Here's my inspiration! Every month I paint the works of a pedophile. This week, I chose the work of Dave Kelly, he's a huge infantilist furry. This is someone who draws baby anthropomorphic animals either wetting themselves or jacking off. I'm not kidding. Once again, his name is Dave Kelly and this is his FTP full of his lovely art, there are even some photos of the artist himself, handsome fellow isn’t he?

Next month, please look for my special pedophile/serial killer series when I recreate the works of Jeffrey Dahmer.
Once again thanks for your support and please help me with my cause by spreading the word and showing the world just how creative pedophiles can be.
Do it for the kids.

It drips of condescension, but more to the point, this guy is obviously deluded and probably realizes that it's all about to come crashing down. He's been reduced to screaming, "pedophile!!!" or something. Who knows. To the people who actually create shit in this world, you hate to see a no-talent, self-entitled hack like this rip people off. But this guy feels he's totally justified. It's his right to do it, or something.
Making shit is difficult in and of itself, making shit you're proud of takes forever. I don't even think that the original artist thought his design that started this mess deserves to be on the Sistine Chapel or anything, but that's not what this is about. It's about a leech, subhumanly feeding off the energy of others.
The story can't get big enough if this fucking shitheel is anything but starving and homeless.
Follow along.
