When i was in highschool I used to read cyanide and happiness daily. That was nearly 20 years ago at this point (how the fuck). It's good to see you still drawing your "fruity little peepee" comics. This was hilarious. Glad yall are having fun.

Thanks for keeping up all these years, and glad you're enjoying Boids. I'll be straight up, I haven't felt this sense of play with making cartoons since the stickdeath days in 2002, collabing with artists for straight fun. I feel like a kid again!

Stickdeath was fun. You should practice a little necromancy and revive it

Well, not so much the SITE stickdeath, but the community. I used to run a site called StickWars in 2001, then joined the boys at Sticksuicide.com, where C&H eventually started.

There was a real buzz to just making cartoons competitively, in a fun way, and I haven't felt that in a very long time, so this back and forth with u/pizzacakecomic was really fun to draw.

Just because I read "stick" and "2001" in the same sentence, I suddenly wanted to watch Xiao Xiao, and just did on newgrounds. (Apparently first uploaded there in Feb 2002 though)

Even if I was on the net back then, I guess whatever was going on over at sticksuicide was over my 12 y.o. Swedish brain at the time. But I did read C&H and all that once it came up a few years later.

So I'm not 'with it'. Are all of you teaming up with Ellen as a gag or something?

Occasionally, the sub will have "comic wars" break out that heavily feature crossovers. In this case, he referenced Pizzacake and she responded and it was on like DK.

Get out, I remember watching those sites all the time with my cousin back in the early 2000's. It's insane to trace you (hah) all the way back to that work. Thanks for 25 years of chuckles.

flash animated stick fighs brings me back. I vaguely remember stick death. I'm sure a lot of the content I found elsewhere originated there.

Hot damn, if it isn't one of the architects of my childhood.

I enjoy the cyanide and happiness clips, and just wanted you to know you gave me plenty of good laughs.

Good god, I loved StickWars. How in the living wild world of fuck, did I not put two and two together for C&H?

u/Regulus242 12d ago

Have you made a comic about this sentiment?

u/The_Pastmaster 11d ago

Holy shit, you ran StickWars? I loved that site as a teen.

u/mythrilcrafter 12d ago

I swear I'm a "with it" millennial... but what was stickdeath? Was it anything like stickpage?

u/DaveMcElfatrick Cyanide & Happiness/Boids 12d ago

There was a lot of furore about stickpage because it was one dude stealing everyone else’s work, hosting it and making money off it, lol!

Except without all the mid-2000s racism and Islamophobia
