How is Jim Norton's $60k fan-funded cartoon coming?

I presume they must be in post production and updating his contributors regularly.

Hey I know a place where you can spend all day with your doodles, it's called the unemployment line. Alright, break's over.

Wow, it's Regular Joe. I haven't thought about you in years.

Of course not, buddy, you haven't worked an honest day in your life. You're content to drive past the job site in your Mercedes Benz while Real Americans like Joe drip sweat for progress.
12 Dooberpie 2016-05-17
Whoa! Hey! Whaddya... gettin paid to drip sweat all over the jobsite or ya gettin paid to bang some nails? You better hope OSHA don't come by and see you leaking all over the roof or they'll have this place shut down quicker than a lunch pail wit' no sandwich in it.

Hey, I'm not saying it's not appreciated.

It's just that sometimes you forget these are real people out there.

Calm down Rafa Benitez.

He mentioned on the O&J show the other morning, maybe it was TACS, who gives a care, that there was "difficulty" with creating the episodes and he's working on "some changes" and "new ideas." I shit you not, he basically admitted he never plans to put out the cartoon people paid for.
Good luck getting those great rewards for donating, too! He's still trying to "figure out" how to text message people in character voices!
23 BoardroomBimmy 2016-05-17
Oh, you mean you can't just shovel your one note characters into an actual show via a medium that you hate and don't understand and expect it to be good? Hm.
16 Dennyislife 2016-05-17
He spoke about it in more length on the erock geek man child show

you just won the day sir - "the erock geek man child show"

Ironically its the only show I listen to post ant leaving

Its not terrible, ill give it that.

Let's not forget how he plans on "figuring out" these characters... wigs!
That's right folks... wigs.

"determining the financial viability"
1 late_50s_why 2016-05-17
the planning includes dudes asking if he want some free money
1 Dooberpie 2016-05-17
Well, again, he did say that if the campaign wasn't fully funded he would "just put out whatever he could" with the money he got. Turns out the money he got is enough to put out 0. He didn't technically lie.
25 little-pete-ferguson 2016-05-17
Jennifer Carmody has not taken him back if that's what your asking!
6 dwc151 2016-05-17
That would have cost the full 200k. 60 gets him a text message once a week.
21 illydelph 2016-05-17
Well the travertine tiles are in and he decided to splurge and go with a herringbone installation pattern, it costs more in labor but hey, you only live once, right gang? And I believe he's narrowed it down to quartz or bronzite for the counters. It's amazing how fast you can blow through 65k when you're

I dont think it's so much that Jim ripped anyone off, I think Jim got manipulated into ripping people off by a company who rips people off or never could deliver on what they sold him. Either way it's crappy and exploitive and anyone who does two seconds of research could've avoided either prat fall.
It seems to me like Jim must be surrounded by terrible people giving him terrible advice.
16 BoardroomBimmy 2016-05-17
It's still Worm's fault for thinking he had the talent to make an actual show based on his awful characters that are only funny under a very specific context.
2 late_50s_why 2016-05-17
i hope ppl didnt forget the worm hired his ex to make the cartoon with him, hes all in with the scam
7 dankfranklin 2016-05-17
Yeah, this is what I've thought has been the case. Jim means well but he's incredibly ignorant about anything that isn't sex or Ozzy. He got took by his ex and some flighty "animators" she met (platonically I'm sure) in LA.

5 andiswearrrr 2016-05-17
I nearly spit out my beverage thinking of the trouble Jim's gotten himself into. He's pretty much being forced to make this shitty cartoon against his will. There's no way he can get out of it. What a nightmare.
4 illydelph 2016-05-17
What trouble is he in? Morons handed him 65k with no strings attached, he's not going to be forced to do anything. He'll keep giving vague non-committing updates when he's pressed on it and other than that we'll never see it or hear about it again.
4 late_50s_why 2016-05-17
lol he isnt even bothered to update the progress of the project, he aint gonna have to do shit. other scammers at least keep up with the appearance for awhile

its fine as long as indiegogo is returning his mail about the money transfers
10 Rock-Coat 2016-05-17
I wish I'd kept my hard earned tin, and invested it in a Grill guard, mini fridge, and a Loves truck stop membership. Oh well just keep on trucking I guess, while the "Man" keeps his boot firmly on the neck of the working class.

what u really need is a mangrate enter the code word cumia for 20% off all purchases
5 Rock-Coat 2016-05-17
Do they even ship those things further than Roslyn, Westbury or Port Washington?

Amy did her voice acting for food, and that blew the whole budget.

I would. But everyone decided I was such a "disaster", despite nobody having put forth any better attempt. Why do it again just to be shit on?
1 late_50s_why 2016-05-17
80 points for great effort, i do have some suggestion tho, like write down some talking points, don't debate the worm cause they have lots of raqio tricks.love the flexible camping kid joke

Some of you were retarded enough to donate. I can't believe some still think they're getting a cartoon.
