      Tompreston is just about the worst webcomic writer ever. His comics are always the exact same thing: him bitching about how other artists/people are wrong, and he's right. Really, every one of his comics ends with his character, who's obviously nothing more than the artist himself in comic form, making an angry face at how stupid anime fans, random stand-ins for his pet peeves, or people who are not into his likes are. And trust me, the guy can not take constructive criticism worth a damn.

      The man is incredibly petty, his webcomic is incredibly petty, and he's a hypocrite(hates anime/manga but will frequently draw in a pseudo-anime form). He's hated for a reason fillies and gentlecolts, this isn't hate coming out of thin air. If you still don't understand, great, cause you shouldn't bother trying to figure it out. This particular webcomic artist is not worth your time.

      Oh, and he went to college to study art and graduated, but, uh, this is the best he can do. So yeah.

      It's a comic that varies between unfunny and mediocre, by an smug author who can't handle criticism. However, the reason for the hate is that, despite that, it still has huge fanbase.

      I see the guy's stuff posted on /co/ a lot. If I were to venture a theory, I'd say that the reason a lot of people hate him is because all his comics (the ones /co/ posts anyway) are about, well, him. He's always depicting himself knocking down straw men to make himself look important.

      You can ignore him, but the tone of his work is kind of obnoxious. I'm only in on the dislike for the guy from the surface, so I don't know what all else hurts his reputation.

      His comics do kind of push my exasperation and intolerance buttons, though. I don't know what it is about them. I guess that when you see a guy stroking his own ego all the time, calling it your entertainment and expecting you to be thankful for it, you sort of wish he'd just stop.

      well, lets just hope and pray that that will be the last and only MLP comic TomPreston does. Since no one else has seemed to say it, I'll go out and say just a few of the reasons why his comics get so much hate.

      -not. a. single. one. has a joke or punchline that are remotely funny. Look at the above comic. Which part of it is supposed to be the part you laugh? The part where he's watching MLP? The part where he says "I'm a cartoonist so I like cartoons"?

      -Almost all the time you can cut out at least half the pannels of his comics, and it will still "make sense". The above comic is a great example, remove the first two panels, done.

      -In all of his comics where he shows his opinion, he always makes the opposing character look like an insane lunatic, while his character (that shares his point of view) is calm and collected.

      -He used to (and probably still does, privately) draw balloon expansion porn of random cartoon characters.

      There's a lot more but it'd be silly to waste more time on this. If someone wants to continue where I left off, feel free.

      @anon 3:15 (Where's my greentext for a good implying quote)

      Not the same poster you were talking to, but the one you're misunderstanding was pretty clear. The artist we're unhappy with writes a comic that can be dissected into pieces without losing any impact, which means every panel is kind of boring and meaningless.

      It's not really about his opinion differing as far as I'm aware, and I don't care if he draws porn. Lauren Faust herslef could draw porn and I wouldn't think differently of the show, frankly. However, the guy is kind of a foppish manchild, and it's upsetting to see him getting advertised.

      The fact that his comic is just stirring up a lot of anger is a good indicator that he's probably not a good person to appear on any website that isn't being intentionally trolled. It's the same as posting Buckley's B^U comic, which is also disliked with a cold, festering passion by a lot of people.

      I really don't get your point. Just looking at the one posted up above is pretty funny because I get the joke, and checking his website has the alt text to support that. Heck, what would you say to XKCD? That some of its comics aren't funny? Sometimes that's the point if you are using the drawn medium for something other then a gag a day format.

      Bullshit. FiM advocates acceptance and being bros more than tolerance. You wouldn't tolerate someone who is only able to say "I am better than you and everyone else in every single way". I don't recall any of the cast saying "Sure Trixie's a loud, obnoxious, arrogant egomaniac with a chip on her shoulder whenever someone disagrees with her, but I am going to tolerate her insufferable behavior" in Boast Busters.

      Ok finished the comic, His humor is not slap stick so it's not lol, which some people don't like. He is into weird porn (not in his web comic but that one link talked about him)
      So meh, I won't be adding his web comic to my list of comics I read but hating him, waste of time.

      Look sugarcube, there are a lot of people that don't want to see his art, and don't want his work being acknowledged as somehow good. I do not care about Tom Preston, but I can understand why feel the need to express their dislike for his stuff, and I see no reason why bad art and bad writers shouldn't be criticized for being so bad.

      I wasn't going to say anything but I really do feel the need to defend the people who are rightfully calling a bad artist, a bad artist. No where in My Little Pony is there a lesson where we shouldn't criticize a terrible artist or writer. One of the things I like about the show is that it doesn't dumb down things in a way a regular kid's show would. Trust me, Ponyville and its citizens would have a thing or two to say about a silly filly like Tom Preston.

      Well, if you find him funny you find him funny, I guess. XKCD never bothers me because those comics are lighthearted and kind of poke fun at life. I never feel like somebody's ego is bleeding into the writing or that I'm supposed to take home the message that the author is better than me.

      This guy, though. It's like his little problems are so important to him that they've got to be important to me too. They're not, however, so I just don't like reading about his life or his thoughts. He's not whimsical, cute, clever, or bold. His art isn't really a cut above anything else out there. From what I can tell of his writing, as a person I'm not fond of him.

      I mean, meh, if you're a fan then have at, I guess. Sometimes the reason people like certain things totally elude me, and I'll see this kind of attitude all over the internet. Where I see wretch, you see depth, or beauty, or something. Sometimes people tell me blase stories and comics are really good if you seek out hidden metaphors, in which case you're really just hunting for parts of yourself.

      But face value? I like to set this guy aside with a tired groan.

      I wasn't gonna say anything till I read some of the strips. Yeah, they really aren't all that funny, but I don't think they were meant to be.

      I'm not going to defend him or his strip, but I am gonna say that I think I may understand it. I THINK it's just his version of a diary. He represents himself as the main character and just writes about the way he believes he experienced a certain aspect of his day. Of course it's with his personal bias slant to it, since it's him that was writing it.

      If that is true, then I suppose he is a little justified at being mad when people constantly criticising something for not being what it wasn't intended to be in the first place. But then I wonder why he put it up online to begin with. Maybe he thinks people want to read it (and apparently some do, but most don't).

      Still, though, I can't help but wonder why people let things like this get to them so much.

      So I read up on him...
      So what if he has no idea how to handle criticism? He probably got his work critiqued to the ground in art school and unfortunately developed the mentality that he is better than everyone else and anyone who criticizes him has no taste, is a bad artist, and is jealous.
      Sure this may be a bad mentality but why add fuel to the fire just like a lousy troll would do?
      If you know criticizing his work makes him explode and causes a lot of hate, why do it? Hate won't set him right, it will just convince him more that his way is right.
      This man is just another victim of the internet.

      I say give this guy another chance. He's a brony like us and deserves to be treated as such.
      Who knows? He could actually turn out to be a nice guy if you just tolerate him and if he does start to blow it then, well, he'll get whats coming to him.

      It just makes me sad to see what some people have become thanks to the internet. Have a little empathy.

      Reading his comics as well as his notes on said comics, I have not noticed a "Better than you" mentality so much as a "I have this opinion" mentality.

      On the other hand, some of them are pretty funny, like the one about running a booth at a convention while needing to go to the restroom, or annoyingly true, like the one about how as soon as an artist starts making money these days they get dubbed "Sellouts"

      I don't see what the hate is about. Read the comic, not great, not hate worthy though. I read the Encyclopedia Dramatica entry and it's obvious it's been edited to try and paint him as an asshole so it's worthless (I like the mention of ED being the only site left on the internet to even talk about his comic though, I seriously doubt that).

      Also, is anyone other than me thinking that most of the hating anonymous are the same person? Especially since some of the posts directly after each other say the exact same thing in slightly different ways.

      Wow...just....wow.

      That puts some things into perspective....

      That being said, I try to quietly ignore things I don't like and I suggest you try to do the same. It'll keep you from going crazy. Or at least keep you from going crazier, such as is the case with individuals like me.

      Anyways, the lesson here? If you're going to post a web comic shout out, do research first to make sure the author isn't hated.

      Never begrudge the success of others. I don't care how undeserved of it you think they are. When you go shooting your mouth off in this way, you aren't swaying anybody towards your own opinion, it just makes you look like a petty asshole. You don't like him? Fine. You want to criticize him? (note: "He's a dick" is NOT acceptable criticism) That's fine too. But don't begrudge him his success, as YOU'RE the one who suffers when you think that way.
