I used to be like: "The internet needs more self-insert fan-made shit! Why don't people do that anymore?"
But now, I understand the struggle!

Alright I wanna talk about something

Posted by DavidObro - June 2nd, 2021


I try to be a pretty reserved person when it comes to talking about myself on the internet or even in general (I can be very fucking terrible at it tho) so you'll have to forgive me for this wall of text I'm about to blast you with.


Yesterday (or today technically) I released the final page of the onlycringe comic. I've been releasing these pages daily for about a month now with a few breaks in between. But I think now is going to my longest break yet. I'm gonna be taking 2 or 3 weeks off from posting the comics: 1 so I can let the ending settle in, and 2 so I can have more time to finish some of the newer pages. (There are going to be more pages after this.)


I haven't been entirely honest/open about my actual work regiment on the comics. Maybe you caught on to this, but the entire VidCon-Saga of OnlyCringe was already fully finished before I even posted the first page to newgrounds. The original run was uploaded every 2-3 days on the actual OnlyCringe Server, and I managed to finish the full thing around the middle of march. The point I'm getting at is; You're not gonna get Daily comics once we finally catch up to the comics, you probably won't even get it once a week. After leaving the actual server it's hasn't been the most motivating thing working on these (I wanna clarify I left on my own terms, there wasn't any drama. We're all still friends and we still hang out). I just wanted to let you guys down gently. I work on these comics by myself in my own spare time and I obviously don't make any money off these. I will try my best to finish the full story before 2022, but please don't hold it against me if I physically can't do it. (TL;DR I'm a lazy asshole who wants to work on these when I get around to it.)


I think the main reason I enjoyed writing it so much is also the same reason I don't like writing it. I made a comic where I didn't create a single character. David Obro is literally just me with superpowers. I didn't even come up with the powers either. My friends made jokes about my hat and how if I ever took it off, my shitty hair would swallow the universe like a black hole if it stayed off for too long. The point I'm trying to make is that the only creative thing I had to do was find funny situations to put me and my friends in, it's basically fanfiction. For me onlycringe (at least this arc) was more of a way to practice my art on MSPaint (my only art program) and for me to try out an endurance test for what it's like to be a Manga author for shonen jump or something like that (even though we both probably shouldn't do that).


I don't want this whole post to sound negative, so I'll just say: Thank You for giving my stuff a chance. I won't claim to be famous or anything but it definitely surprised me to see some of my stuff get the amount of views that it did. I know I said small amount of views in my other post, but I don't wanna make it sound like I don't appreciate the views I do get. I know it's not easy to get an audience when you're just starting out, and I know 100% that my comics aren't for everyone. So you know, the fact that any of you guys are here reading my stuff really means a lot to me. Thanks for being here, and I hope you'll all continue to put up with my bullshit in the future.


Bye guys.
