New B.... BAC...... Artwork!!!!!!!!

*passes out*

Oh HAPPY day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*passes out again*

I thought this day might never come. Your art work has always been among the very very very best and most amazing, skilled, and tickletactic of the genre. You have inspired many artists (myself included) to create our own tickling art!

I look forward to ordering this right away!!!!! As soon as I stop passing out...

*passes out a third time*

LOL,

BAC,

I, too, rushed over to buy a copy and it's good to see you pick up where you left off (and even better). Excellent work, great variety of scenes & situations...you are the standard bearer for other the rest of us tickling artists...can't wait to see what's next!

 

[Dave2112]

Well, it's about damn time!

Just kidding, my friend.

I'd wait ten years for new stuff from you. This is really, really good, great, fantastic! You haven't missed a step and I can't wait to bear witness to your further adventures.

Your art has a unique look and is instantly recognizable as your own. This can be said for maybe a handful of artists. It was exactly what I said to you when we discovered the Wok Don't Run missing page..."I know this is yours, dude!" There was no question. It's like seeing a '57 Chevy Bel Air...you just don't have to ask what kind of car it is.

I can't say enough, so I'll stop before I say too much.

 

[BACCOMIX]

Well, I don't know what to say other than thanks. That is a supreme compliment. And I am honored.

What's next...what's next...
The 2 words every artist fears. 😀

Well, we'll just have to see, now won't we.

Well, it's about damn time!

Great but why $13.99 USD for 12 Files ?

Wo Don't Run is 14 Files for $8.99 USD

[BACCOMIX]

Glad you asked. "Bootleg" inferior copies of my earlier works have been circulated for years, and many in our communitee may already own these. I wanted to price the initial releases so that these friends could afford to buy official quality scans of the original pieces for their collections.

I have been working on this piece for some time. (Since before the kick-off story was published in MTJ Pub's Tales from the Asylum, way back when) So I have quite a bit of time invested in this piece.

I reviewed the other comparable Tickle related comics out on the market and corresponded with some of you personally on the subject of pricing. I didn't want to undercut the hard working peers that I respect. (you know like when a neighbor sells his house below market value thus dropping the value of everyone's home in the nieghborhood)

In the spirit of fairness I priced the piece to what I considered to be the fair market standard for similar works by current tickling artists.


Sincerely

[nortickler]

Worth waiting for!

Well, what can I say-
nothing else than I bow down all the way to te
ground to salute another excellent piece of work
coming from the number one artist in the tickling
genre. I immideatly went over to the purchasing
site to get me an example when I discowered the ad.
Your artwork has always been my favourite together
with Saudelli, but I must say,- when it's coming to
pure tickling comcs, You are one standing on the top.

Now I can hardly wait for the next release....

Greetihgs from Norway!

PS:

Any possibility of letting a Norwegian female appear
in Dr. Sole's facility some time in the future..?

 

[Eroticklee]

All I can say is OMG! Your drawings are remarkable and seem to come in somewhere between still life and comic. The scenes are straight out of my imagination. Just promise me that your next comic will have more begging from the patients. I always love it so much when they beg before and during the tickle torture.

Either way, you are the master and I bow before your incredible artistic abilities.

 

[TickleFur]

Total Disappointment

I know I'll likely be flamed for this, and people will say things like, "How dare he not worship BAC!" and similar things but, quite frankly, I don't give a damn.

I am not only greatly disappointed with Laughing Pines, but I feel cheated and ripped-off. This was easily one of the very worst tickle comics I've wasted money on. Why? Okay, here's why:

-11 pages of comic (not including cover) with 27 panels
-Of those 27 panels, only 15 include full-on tickling
-The entire comic is, IMO, over-burdened with with text and more text
-All the male characters are, well, creepy doesn't begin to describe them. A real turn-off... *shudders*
-The tickle action is generally quite poor

But the WORST part of it, and why I feel ripped-off, is that Laughing Pines was billed as all-new work from BAC. Right. I count at least 5 tickle images (there may be more that I don't recognise) that are old images. Stuff I've seen hundreds of times, repeated in posts over and over again on the net. I paid money to get old artwork you can find for nothing?

I was so looking forward to this comic, and it was a total waste of money.

 

[Jejxenbdujxdbuehcbejdev]

what can i say that has already not been said?
you are the undeniable master of tickle art! i have loved your work since i first saw it in Blue bizarre magazine.
one thing i would love to see, which I and im sure others believe is sorely missing within the comunity, is a comic story where the women are mercilessly tickled to orgasm.
Im sure we all find tickle torture to be erotic, why not take it to it's natural "climax"? (no pun intended) a woman foot tickled for her sexual pleasure would be a very welcome story indeed!

 

[TickleFur]

one thing i would love to see, which I and im sure others believe is sorely missing within the comunity, is a comic story where the women are mercilessly tickled to orgasm.

Keep your eyes out for the next issue of Bounce Chix by the UNMATCHABLE Bandito & White Lotus! There will be multiple ticklegasms in that tickle comic. Also get your hands on Temple of Bounce, the first issue of Bounce Chix http://www.mtjpub.com/ecomics/BounceChix.html The girls orgasm in that one, too (although subtly and not multiple orgasm).

Bounce Chix is, IMO, the very best tickle comic that has been published to date! Nothing is close.

 

[MTJpub]

Ticklefur,

No doubt you are entitled to you opinion and while I appreciate the kinds words you have had about some of my publications. It seems apparent to me that unless a tickling comic is filled with sexual content and the ticklee’s enjoy and are climaxing from the tickling that you dub it “easily one of the very worst tickle comics.”

While you did not mentioned the lack of these elements in your latest critique. Based on your previous public trashing of various tickling comics from “Agency Publishing,” “MTJ Publishing,” and now “BAC Comix” all seem to fit the pattern that if they don’t contain the elements your seeking they are “The worst tickling comic ever!”

Not all comics are designed with your personal interests in mind. Not everyone shares your opinion on what makes a tickling comic good.I think it would be best if you ask a few questions about a tickling comic you might be interested in so you can make a more informed purchase.

Personally I feel your comments are way off the mark. I find “Laughing Pines” simply outstanding. The use of a few images from an out of print publication is completely acceptable in my opinion.

Of those 27 panels, only 15 include full-on tickling

Looks like a good ratio to me.

The entire comic is, IMO, over-burdened with with text and more text

Entitled to your opinion but I disagree.

All the male characters are, well, creepy doesn't begin to describe them. A real turn-off... *shudders*

The male characters are classic BAC. No surprise here.

The tickle action is generally quite poor

I could not disagree more. The tickling action is plentiful and classic BAC.

Laughing Pines was billed as all-new work from BAC

Where is this stated exactly?

Here is a quote from the product description...

Take a tour of the facility, meet the staff and some of the inmates. Old friends and new surprises await.

I think the product delivers what it promises and in spades.

As you say, I did NOT mention sexual content. I did NOT talk about my personal interests. So why you brought this up, I don't know. I have been a fan of BAC as well, although you probably don't believe it. It bought it *because* it was BAC. But that doesn't mean I'm going to be a "yes man" and go with the flow and say it was great because others do.

I trusted it to be good. I don't feel it was.

"A few images from an out of print publication?" One third of the tickling images are repeats. I'm sorry, I don't consider that "a few."

I do not think of any of my negative reviews as "trashing." I simply outline what I think makes the comic in question a bad one. Trashing to me means using harsh language, insulting the artists and-or writers personally. I do NONE of this. I state my problems with the issues, not insult the creators.

I have been a loyal MTJ customer for a long time, and I did buy all of the Agencies issues. I felt I had the right to say what I feel, good or bad.

However, one thing I have learned from this is that only praise is acceptable on these forums. Whenever I praise any work (such as Bounce Chix, JMAIT, In Extremis, etc) no one says a thing. But the moment I speak my mind and say I don't like something (along with clearly outlining my reasons) then I get flak for it. But obviously criticism is not welcome. Movies, music, restaurents, books; these all get reviews. Some good, some bad. Tickle comics should be given the same kind of treatment. But only praise seems acceptable here.

I will continue to be an MTJ fan, and I have always respected you, but from now on I won't say anything negative because it is obviously not acceptable on these forums.

 

[MTJpub]

Ticklefur,

Perhaps it was unfair or inappropriate of me to bring up your personal preferences and for that I apologize. However you have publicly stated several times that if these elements don’t exist in a tickling comic it’s not any good. Perhaps its just a coincidence that each comic you have been disappointed with don’t have any of the elements that you find enjoyable.

Recently it’s been said on this forum that most comics these days are rushed and slapped together. I know of nothing that I have ever published that would fit that description and from the looks of it I don’t think Agency Publishing or BAC COMIX have anything that fits that description either. Just because something does not appeal to your interests does not make it rushed or slapped together.

My belief is that companies such as Agency Publishing, BAC COMIX, and MTJ Publishing work very hard to design publications that will appeal to the many different tastes in our community. I know all the artists and writers that I work with do their very best to provide high quality and entertaining publications. They devote a great deal of time and expense and often receive very little compensation for their efforts. This is a very small buyers market.

Personal tastes and opinion can sometimes produce the most outlandish and over the top statements. These remarks can sometimes be unnecessarily hurtful and damaging.

No one is saying that you can’t express your views. However you can’t expect fans or the publishers to sit silent if they feel you are unfairly criticizing their hard work.

For the record your business is very much appreciated. If you ever have a question about a potential purchase please feel free to PM or e-mail me and I’ll be glad to answer them.

Letting us know what you are looking for in a comic is very beneficial. As a matter of fact I know that several of our authors and artists are in the process of developing a few publications that will appeal to those that enjoy more erotica with their tickling entertainment. This is direct result of feedback from you as well as others.

No hard feelings here.

I paid money to get old artwork you can find for nothing?

I was so looking forward to this comic, and it was a total waste of money.

Okay, now, I don't think anyone here can claim to be bigger BAC fans than my wife and I, and I did notice there were a few drawings in there that I also had seen before. Was I disappointed? Maybe for a split second, and then I remembered….

I didn't complain when I first got those drawings for NOTHING on the internet. I mean, BAC didn't originally draw those images for public distribution on the internet at no cost. I and thousands of others simply downloaded them from posts because we liked his artwork. I didn’t distribute his artwork myself, but I also didn’t complain about receiving it for free, either.

Did it ever occur to you that HE gets ripped off every time someone distributes his images without his permission? The only reason a few of those images are repeats to you is that you got Bootleg copies. If you’re truly a fan of BAC, then stop whining. I still own all four of my original “Tales of Tickle Torture” series that I paid $25 a pop for back when they had to be MAILED in hard copy form. Like you, I also got plenty of BAC artwork that was distributed on the internet at NO COST.

The fact is, as BAC pointed out, the pics contained in Laughing Pines were originally drawn for inclusion in LAUGHING PINES. They weren't supposed to have been distributed disjointedly and out of context from the comic for which they were intended.


You said that you bought all the agency series, and bought MTJ product, and that gives you the right to say what you feel. But, you’re not complaining about MTJ and Agency. You’re complaining about an artist whose artwork you’ve acquired for FREE, despite the fact that you should have been paying for it.

Also, to be clear, the couple of duplicate drawings you’re referring to are no longer disjointed. They are now accompanied by preceding drawings and text that place them in context with the story itself, AND the quality of all the drawings is top notch.

Think about it, if you found a panel from a comic you really wanted, but the only way to see the whole comic was to pay for it, would you still complain that you’d already seen one panel for free? Of course not, so don’t whine now.

A sense of fairness on your part would point out that only a small portion of your purchase price has gone toward a couple of drawings you may have already seen. The rest of the comic is still new to most everyone. So, why not just consider yourself STILL way ahead of the game for all the FREE shit you have amassed at BAC’s expense from years passed.

Finally, don't try and use Bandito as leverage for your outrage against BAC. You're pissing up a rope. Criticism may not always be easy to swallow, and maybe not everyone is open to it, BUT your criticism is a one-sided bullshit toss, as I hope you can now see. Take some time to think about it, and I'm sure you'll agree I'm right. (I usually am, you know) 😉

 

[jazzyJ823]

Sounds great, but I wont buy

Ask Clips4sale, I have purchased tons and tons of clips, but I cant spend 6 or 7 bucks on artwork. If it was a tad bit cheaper, then yes. Artwork looks great, but try to drop the price.

 

[laughinggaszone]

Well, let's be real. It's not that you CAN'T, it's just that you WON'T. Just to add some perspective, I feel the exact opposite. I'll pay good money for good art and turn away from perfectly good clips, because I didn't want to pay the price they were asking (which is usually cheaper than art.) It's all a matter of taste. I'm sure we'd both like prices to be cheaper for art and videos (or free, I'll say it before someone else does), but often that isn't possible with the cost of production. Believe me, I know from where I speak. So, I don't tend to give other companies too much grief. Could the prices be cheaper? Probably a bit, but producers have a right to make a profit off of their work and efforts and not simply break even so fans can enjoy the work at rock bottom prices.

Looks great to me, BAC. Always been a fan.

 

[shock]

I can understand that people expecting an all new BAC comic are a little disappointed to see 5 previously released images. Although I'm with ShadowTklr on this one, I think it would have been fair to at least point out this fact.
For my part, I just love this comic.
There's just one thing that bothers me:
In that close-up, Jane Doe looks exactly the same as Mona Livingston without the gag.

 

[Wally West]

Looks good.

In the description of this collection on images4sale it clearly states: "This peice contains a few frames previously published in Tales from the Asylum..."

 

[BACCOMIX]

Thanks, for your defensive point, however, in all fairness, I added that line as soon as I realized that people were expressing dissappointment about the previously published frames.

Our friends have now all weighed in on the subject and I have taken all of their input into consideration. In hind site I probably should have been selfish and held those frames until the entire story was completed. At the time I was just trying to contribute to the growth of the community, the genre and MTJ Pub. The fasted way to do that at the time was to pull and develop ideas from the develpment sketches for Laughing Pines. story.

Everything currently in the pipe is completly new. The storylines may be continuations of some of my more popular characters and and classic themes, but the artwork is and will be all original unless clearly labeled otherwise.

Thanks to everyone for supporting my art, through purchase and critique.

Sincerely,

BAC
