Description This is the cover of the third "I'm My Own Mascot" collection. For those of you who might not know, it's a parody of the Choose Your Own Adventure series of kids books from the 80's.

Along with the webcomic, this book also features an exclusive "Choose Your Own..." style story where you find fame on the internet...or die trying.

Oh my God, I used to read those types of Goosebumps books when I was a kid. I'd always keep a tab on the decision pages so I could go back if I chose the wrong one

Take out the Homestuck troll and it'd be the perfect cover.
But netherless great job!

It was mostly a joke.
I know Homestuck is a (somewhat) important part of the internet's culture.

Still....K'bo's a brony and isn't too fond of Homestuck....so why does the troll get more spotlight than Derpy?

Maybe it was just a mistake.
Or because the art for Derpy in this one is a copy of the one he posted for the art cards, so he didn't want to spotlight it.

Well, it appears to be meant to represent everything that's awful about the internet. Homestuck, while I find it an entertaining read, spawned some truly atrocious memes and an equally horrifying fan-base.

Quite often with things like that the awfulness is more directly tied to the fan-base than the content itself.

I've never payed much attention to the actual fanbase, so I honestly wouldn't know.

I like homestuck (to each his own) but if you take the simplistic drawing style and the over the top crazy fans there is some interesting things in it. I mean there are so many references to some really intelligent things that you usually don't expect in a comic like this.

But I do agree the fan base is well annoying some times. But every thing has those extremest.

thank you

I mean every fan base has the extremist for example the nutso fans who really need electro shock for twilight and my little poney who try to cram the stuff down your throat no matter how many times you tell them to get off your back and stop talking about it.

But you mention something you like and not even go nutso like them they get all angry psycho on you

um....sorry personal experience is in there

I personally LOVE homestuck, but their fanbase makes me RETCH.

Even though I'm a Pony fan, I can say the same about my fanbase.
I think just having Chris Chan defined the awful-ness of the internet.

Excalibur-T005 In reply to RoboGuy9000 [2012-02-01 22:11:02 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. It's a general rule of fan-bases, really. They've all got at least a certain amount of awfulness in them, which prompts the formation of anti-fan-bases, which also have a fair amount of awfulness.

Well, most people who devote a significant portion of their time and energy simply to being opposed to something like that (or MLP, or any other popular thing) probably are.

I grew up playing the Genesis and the N64. The Genesis I had might even still work, but I misplaced some important cords.
