You know, I tried to get my dad to start an autobiography before he died.  He'd had a really fascinating life with tons of stories that I knew I'd forget if they weren't put on paper.  Sadly, he proved me correct.

IDE, don't make that mistake.  Chronicle your life's story for the greater glory of the Golden God of the INTERNET.  Your upcoming movie is just the start....
Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Maybe because I actually made a post here once that reads almost exactly the same as this strip:

Least I could do

I've read over a year of it now and I can see some similarities between that character and me but that guy is way too much of a tool.  The character is probably the amped up persona of a real person... a real person very much like me but not as good looking and not as muscular.

That's ok I've already been immortalized in a couple of webcomics.  My favorite being "Bad Online Comic" by Papa Prime.

Well I figure you are more of a Sidekick role...or like Villian Henchman or a Act 2 foil or something along those lines. So I'll have to create someone as the main focus of comic for you to play off of.

Really?  I can see him as the lead, easy.  And he'd have some goofy Novechrombot/Dougesque sidekick that he tries to get laid all the time; the gay, fashionable male friend who sports an ascot and is always getting him into zany problems; the cool, goggle-wearing computer dork and his zaftig girlfriend who live in the apartment next door; Principal Belding; and an untouchable Faye-type romantic interest.

The only way I could ever be a side kick is if it was in some sort of spectacular Kramer-esque fashion.  The main character would have to be sort of the straight man with a plethora of supporting characters that carry the comic.

I could be a henchman...or rather a champion of evil.  The main evil character wouldn't have any true deadly powet (other than his evil genius) but instead would say "Release the IDE" and I would go forth and wreak havoc, but ultimately fall for the heroine and then realizing I could never have a life with her I would save the hero from certain doom at the expense of my own life, causing everyone to shed a tear.

But Nuri's idea is the most plausible and oddly enough is nearly identical to the the premise of that Least I Could Do comic tom mentioned (minus the gay character and adding a rarely seen pussy whipped/in a relationship male character)

Don't forget that you would need someone evil too..hmm let's see who's evil here....i don't think there's someone evil-evil here. of course there are a couple of bitchy people, but not evil. Except maybe Lenin??

The gay character is what makes it.  You'd be wearing a different outfit each week, like the Card Captor Sakura of the sex community.

Because of the sheer amount of college-setting webcomics and the fact that reading them is about as exciting as going there, the comic will be based in chic flat surrounded by a bevy of businesses that serve as backdrops for your various shenanigans.  

Still a bouncer and the world's second-oldest 23-year-old college student (the oldest being a Bea Arthurish horndog-lady named  "Gertle"), you and your Doug sometimes fight crime as the masked-duo Tank Crotch and Twitchy.  In between macking chicks and putting the occassional crook or pedo behind bars, most of your adventures will be the doing of your gay friend, most of the time using you to his own gain when he's not trying to get you in the sack.  Also, you have a sugarmama patron, a rich older Veronica-ish cougar who pays your rent and has a slightly younger jealous, stupid, posturing Tatewaki Kuno of a husband who has no idea what sort of relationship you actually have with her.  She goes from calling you her cousin to her nephew to her former foreign exchange student boarder, and it changes every time you see the man.

I'd have to see a sample of your work before I'd cut you in, sir.  You did want to make my client a sidekick or a henchman, so I don't know.

I still stand by that. Jack Sparrow or Han Solo might be kick ass guys...but they can't carry the story. Anti-Heros are so cliche now. Underdogs...that's what people want.

But if I was to let someone here read my stuff, it would be you.

We shouldn't be underminding each other, however. We should be figuring out a way to cut IDE out of the money in the long run. After all...he wouldn't really be doing any of the work, and paraody is protected by law. We could keep it all for ourselves.

No...Will Turner was the hero of POTC, and POTC2. Sparrow is the sidekick. Doesn't matter if he was "The Man" Or "Awesome" or if "He made the movie for me." he wasn't the hero of the movies. He was the typical Hero foil/ally archtype. The guy that tries to corrupt the hero, but ends up becoming a better person because of the Hero. Jack Sparrow is just Han Solo in different cloths.

Underdogs are getting a little cliche, too.  I think what's in now is an underdog that people enjoy seeing fail.

Not for frowns, for laughs.  Or for the satisfaction of seeing someone else fail.  I don't like downer crap anymore than you do.  I want to be entertained.

Yeah...but I want to see arrogant, self involved, vain, and rich people fail. Not the underdog. Seeing the underdog fail is like a downer, even if it is funny. Still makes you go "ahhhhhhhh....well that sucks." not "Yeah...you deserve that bitch!"

Can you parody something that doesn't have an original creative presence?  

Say if I was to create a comic about Rama.  There is no other Rama property out there (is there? Let's assume there isn't).  He is still a real person though.  Would I have to pay him for using his likeness?

I don't think you can do things about actual people without their permission even if you compensate him.  A straight-up parody would be protected I'd think.  And if not, it would be okay as long as it became it's own creative property.  If you were to actually use the name "Rama", it might open the doors to problems even though I don't think there's any legal protection for an online moniker.  But it would lay the groundwork for him to say you're defaming him or some shit like that.

In your story for example, I might call you ITP instead.  Since I know little about you outside of here, it would end up so radically different it would be it's own creative property.  But hey, I'm no lawyer either.
