Damn you for going bust anyway, Icebox.com

Icebox.com has gone under. Dammit.

No more Weekend Pussy Hunt or The Goddamn George Liquor Show until John K. gets realcartoons.net up and running.

More importantly, though–No more Queer Duck.

Fuckers.

Yeah, sure, Queer Duck has been picked up by C1TV. Like I’m really gonna be able to get an gay-oriented urban cable station here in Asswipe, Washington.

Fuck.

Dammit! I really enjoyed Zombie College, and I’ve been waiting for a new episode for an eternity now. No wonder they haven’t emailed me.

Stupid internet sites that sucker you in then go under.

“OH damn my gay stars!”

NO! Why Queer Duck?! Why couldn’t you take garbage island?!?! That’s on big pile of shit! Take it!! Take it!!

Nooooohhoohhoohhoo!!!

::sobs like a little girl::

I didn’t catch the new season of Mr. Wong!!!
Boo hoo boo hoo hoo hoo

NO! Queer Duck was better than the American Queer as Folk!

No, no, wait… thinks of a better comparison

Queer Duck was funnier than Ellen!

MUCH better. :wink:

What about Hard Drinkin’ Lincoln? My Ghods, that was hysterical stuff! (starts intoning in a "narrator’s voice) “In 1852, Abraham Lincoln worked as a humble postal clerk in Bombay, India” (all of this with the Battle Hymn of the Republic being played on a sitar).

Yes, Zombie College and Queer Duck the best. How about Jesus and His Brothers? That one cracked me up every time!

Damn… Farewell Starship Regulars and Superhero Roommate, I barely knew either of ye.
I feel like a fool for waiting so long to check on new episodes and series. I thought “I can always check later. Is not icebox.com eternal like the sun, the British Empire, and the bullish stockmarket?!”

Well, at least I can conveniently buy catfood online from pets.com instead of walking two blocks to the store.
Oh…

I loved Hard Drinkin’ Lincoln. Funny stuff.

This is kindof an inside joke, but I was at a cocktail party Bessemer (one of the Icebox investors) was throwing several months ago (just before the meltdown, but already on the downside), and a friend asked one of the Bessemer partners with a straight face “I love Icebox, but how is it supposed to make money again?” The partner was practically frothing at the mouth. How’d you like to be the one to invest millions in a cartoon company, then try to explain where the money went?

What exactly happened anyway? I mean, why’d they go tits up? (That is such a white trash phrase, but I guess I’m just a white trash girl.:D)

Nothing surprising–they just ran out of capital, like so many others. With the tech economy flagging, investors are increasingly interested in spending money on companies that might actually make some money some day. iCast and Pseudo dies last year, Pop.com never even opened shop, and Atom Films is relocating from Seattle in a desperate attempt to find a more investor-righ environment.

USA Today, April 10: Those icebox characters are back, by Jefferson Graham

http://www.usatoday.com/life/cyber/tech/2001-04-10-queer-duck.htm

WOOHOO! Excellent! Thanks Matt. AFAIK, John K. is still planning on putting his shows up on his own site, but the others should be back on icebox. And I’m glad Showtime decided to sponsor Queer Duck–I think it would die a painful death if it were solely on C1TV.
. . . and Jim J. Bullock needs all the work he can get. :wink:
