Fanon:GoComics: A Story for the Cringe, the Great and the Based



Inspired by and  'Otherworld' by Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller

Also I haven't written stuff in a long time so this could be a work of art or just bullshit.

Gonzalez "Go" Comics stared the ceiling, holding back the pain, anger and frustration that had been building up inside him. He had hated everything about himself; his name, his face and even his parents. Being the only son of two of the greatest artists of the late 20th century certainly was tough. Throughout his life, he had been bullied by his father and his classmates. His classmates mocked him for having a stupid name and called him 'Godzilla' or the 'Comic Stripper'. He developed a habit to cope with the pain and the stupidity of it all. He had been expelled from the Ohio art school a few months prior for smoking on campus. His parents wouldn't talk to him anymore, but he was fine with that.

He attended an online course and decided to make an online puzzle platform. His parents, who hadn't talked to their son for months, realised that Gonzalez needed their support and guidance. They weren't happy with his decision and offered to send him abroad to get inspiration from his surroundings to become an artist. Gonzalez agreed to this, but for a different reason.

While staying at a popular hotel in Switzerland, Gonzalez met Andrews McMeel, he owner of a publishing company. He tried to get Andrews' attention but failed miserably. The guards had threatened to beat him back to the stone age if showed up at Mr. Mcmeel's door again. He tied  a rope onto a gargoyle statue above his window, and swung into Mcmeel's room through the window. After he had convinced Andrews that he wasn't here to kill him, he presented his idea to Andrews. He liked Gonzalez's idea of an online puzzle platform and decided to let him work for his company, Andrews McMeel Publishing. Gonzalez's puzzle platform was getting positive reviews, so Andrews decided to create a separate division for Gonzalez's projects. Andrews wanted to name the division Gonzzules (Gonzalez+Puzzles) but Gonzalez suggested to make the name sound more appealing and catchy. He also told Andrews that 'Gonzulles' sounds like a medical condition. They decided to name the division Universal New Media because it sounded a lot like Universal Pictures, and that made a difference for some reason. The name wasn't attractive enough, so they renamed the division to U-Click.

One day, Gonzalez had a brainwave while reading the morning paper. He should create a distribution portal for comic strips! He always had said that newspapers would be replaced by electronic media anyway. He told the idea to Andrews, who helped fund the entire project. They decided to name the website 'GoComics' after the creator. Soon, UClick decided to change how GoComics worked, and Gonzalez was devastated. Everyone seemed to prefer the updated GoComics than the original. In 2009, Gonzalez was fired and UClick was renamed to Andrews Mcmeel Syndicate. He was given 2 weeks to choose a successor, after which he would be sentenced to the guillotine. Gonzalez could've tried to escape, to hide from Andrews and his growing empire, but he knew that they would eventually find him. So he accepted his fate, and decided to find a worthy successor. He needed to find someone epic someone who could end the tyranny, someone who was... who was based.

Gonzalez knew what he had to do.
