Well said Mac.
It's really a shame with J-bolt... when he first came back here and SHelly built his website... he seemed...
Lucid.
And now he's gone totally off his rocker.
It's so sad.
It seemed like he was seriously gonna work at producing something tangible. That he could sell in LCS and not a movie thats been delayed more years than I can count.
J-Bolt , pal , if Guns n Roses actually get Chinese Democracy out this year there is no excuse for you. It took Axl 15 years to produce an album. Thus far its taken you 8+ years to do it. You don't want people claiming Axl Rose produced his grand masterpiece in quicker time than you produced a comic book do you ?

A note of appreciation for the J-Bolts and Olneys of the world. Without their antics, some of us might not have the same appreciation for intigrity, honesty, truth, and other such virtues.
This was driven home to me last night. I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Annie Awards (the animation industry's award show), and at the after-party, Andreas Deja sat at our table, with his Winsor McKay Lifetime Acheivement Award sitting in front of him. (In case you can't place the name, Andreas is one of Disney's premiere animators; he was lead character animator for King Triton, Gaston, Jafar, Scar and Lilo, among many others over the last 20+ years. He's also an incredibly nice, charming and humble man.)
So my son and I are sitting there looking at Andreas' award (it's a gold-plated zoetrope, and it WORKS!) and my son said "You have to get one of those."
Instantly I thought of J-Bolt's grand claims about awards he's sure to win and accolades he expects to recieve. I turned to my son and said, "first I have to do something. They don't give you awards for what you're going to do, only for what you did."
Prior to the great Olney debacle and the return of J-Bolt, I doubt that my answer would have been the same. So they get a tip of the hat for helping me to be aware of the need to be a better person.
Word to Godzilla my vanilla. You gotta pay dues to get respect up in this mugg.
I've often wondered why J-Bolt hasn't actually made a comic just to shut us up. Any ideas homies?

This sounds a lot like my character Bombshizzle
Having been naturally endowed with an ominous booty, Juicy Licious lived her life, in Long Beach, California, endlessly searching for smoke and a pimp that would want to know her as a person...not just some bomb-diggity bombshizzle. Juicy smokes chronic throughout her young life surpassing the expectations of shorties around her with superior drive for blunts and bling which end up in a hella-scandalous position as a chemical scientist for one of the ghetto's leading chemical research facilities, as an adult. This leads to even more hatin' and salt throwing from her pimps with the lone support of her homegirls, Francizzle and Lil' Ron-Ron. In an exhausted effort to prove that she's the shiznit to the haters, Juicy smokes a fateful blunt which mutates her system into that of a stoned femme fatale, while finding that there was a ghetto-fabulousness with her all along, beyond her notice. The accident results in a detrimental state of being "stoned." Juicy feels that all is lost as everything she's ever smoked and snorted for is blown away. Now its time that she shows the hood just how much of a "BombShizzle" she is. Can her homies, pimps, Dr. Dre, or even a new aquakinizzle hero named Marizzle, who was also stoned, stop BombShizzle's gangsta rampage? You'll be trippin' off the outcome, ya hear?
I love you. You are my new favorite poster. I could get very physical with you.

The casting couch aspect of it makes me hella trip. It all started with Rena Mero which makes your boy Snoop-Bolt wonder if he's going to make mention of any of the recently retired WWE Divas. Are we going to get announcements that Trish Stratus or Amy Dumas is the new Bombshell? That's a scary thought, F'shizzle.
But yeah, crazy like a Long Beach hood-rat on 'shrooms...Straight up.

Actually, I stopped by closer to the event via wireless internet on a phone, but it was taking too long to read everything. Finally tonight I decided to drop by and catch up on all I missed.
I guess I'm probably not the only one who read the previous many pages with an overwhelming sense of deja vu.

Well I gotta say, I got at least one good thing out of this. Shelly, it sucks that you had to put up with an ungrateful ass like this, but I have to admit that before this thread got me curious, I had never checked out any of the sites you'd made for other YABS 'bashers' (Heh. Anybody else read that and think of the Mighty Ducks and the Bash Brothers? I'd take it as a compliment....). But you do absolutely amazing work. The minute I manage to convince/shanghai/blackmail/bribe/bedazzle a publisher into picking up any of my work, I'm totally hiring you to make a nifty site for me too! I'll even make sure to pay you upfront, before the work, as it seems to me you've got a lot more reason to be wary of your clients than they have to be wary of you. And hey, if I get 'burned', its cool, I'll just blame Tom for vouching for you, lol. All the cool kids are doing it, apparently.
And if a 22 year old waiter/bartender like myself can manage to scrape together enough money to cover an invoice like the one you posted (the real one, not the one with the discount), then a 30 something year old deadbeat loser has no excuse.
Once again, my sympathies for dealing with this piece of trash. Ugh.

Lol, well unfortunately I'm not quite at the point where a website would make much sense for me yet (but then again, neither was J-Bolt, so hmm...). But I'll come find ya the second I am. And I can totally sympathize with the need to spend ridiculous amounts of money on anything comics related, though unfortunately Ive yet to make it to CAPE.
*Hangs head and sighs, while crossing fingers for San Diego*
And Gail, sorry, but I find that amusing as hell. I'm still not entirely convinced they're not the same person. J-Bolt might not be smart enough to run two internet programs simultaneously, but in this day and age, its hardly uncommon for people to have two or more computers in a household. And after reading this whole thread, he definitely strikes me as the type to put more effort into hyping himself by creating other personas than actually doing the work, where someone could potentially critique said work in enough quantities to tell him he's bad, and have it carry weight.

In the same year, J-Bolt was asked to teach comic book art and cartooning by two community schools and the Community College of Southern Nevada, ranked as the #1 class at the college and generated such famous students as Jason Pearson and David Dace. The classes stayed at the top for 8 years, until he had to temporarily retire due to a knee surgery, which made it difficult for him to teach using his individual student-by-student method, though he missed it greatly.
Is the implication that he needed his knee to teach the students one-by-one?
Suddenly, I picture Bolt doing a Pat Morita impression as "comic book sensei" and, instead of teaching artists, simply kneeing 'em somewhere painful when he doesn't like the art...

"Born August 1, 1968, Jim Fisher began drawing comic book characters after watching Adam West & Burt Ward, George Reeves and other TV super heroes, as well as his resulting love of comic books. The desire of wanting to know what the characters were saying in the comic books gave him the inclination to watch PBS educational TV shows and learn to read at the level of a 6th grader before entering Kindergarten. He ended up having a college-level reading level by the middle years of Elementary School, showing the falsehood behind the stereo-type that "comics are only for the illiterate." On top of this, he based his morals after what the heroes taught him from the mags.
By age 16, he had learned most every form of art known and was inducted into the National Achievement Academy books as being one of the top 10% artists in the Country. He formed his first company: Lightning Bolt Comics, with a myriad of characters, on top of creating other characters in comic strip cartooning and was published in numerous newspapers along with other media. With this, he also became known for writing skills, which he applied to creating his new era of comic book stories, papers for the highest composition classes offered, and other short stories with film project concepts.
At 18, every Las Vegas news media and different talk shows began publicizing stories about him as the 'youngest comic book publisher in history,' not yet having self-published. This publicity was satellited Worldwide, which resulted in a huge fanbase; the numbers of which are still unknown. It also resulted in numerous personal appearances where rare original artwork was auctioned off to fans, signed by Fisher.
At the age of 19, he adopted the stage name of J-Bolt and a wardrobe with mono-lens sunglasses, all in his company colors of red & black. This caused the news media to give this new image being that of having a "super hero image of his own." Even though J-Bolt didn't like that campy image, he took it on with open arms in consideration of his younger fans loving it so much, deciding that such a thing could be used to promote positive messages in comic book stories to those same kids.
In the same year, J-Bolt was asked to teach comic book art and cartooning by two community schools and the Community College of Southern Nevada, ranked as the #1 class at the college and generated such famous students as Jason Pearson and David Dace. The classes stayed at the top for 8 years, until he had to temporarily retire due to a knee surgery, which made it difficult for him to teach using his individual student-by-student method, though he missed it greatly.
In 1994, J-Bolt created the character that became #1 amongst LBC fans, BombShell, and shelved the character, not knowing what direction he wanted to take her. He first came up with her, wanting to design the epitome of a stereotype beautiful blond who blows up whatever she impacts, but didn't have any idea of what he could do with her from there.
In 1999, he brought her out of the archives because her design and story became an epiphany to him. This occurred as a result of his own tragedy involving the loss of his father just at the moment of reconciliation from years of estrangement between them. The joy of having his father once again was denied him, exactly one week before Thanksgiving of that year. He also had a veritable cornucopia of other experienced terrible tragedies welled up inside of him, which he compiled to give BombShell her deep story. He felt that everybody and everything he ever loved somehow got blown away from his life, figuratively. With that in mind, he made that analogy literal with BombShell, putting in part of his own psyche, just as he's always been known for doing with all his characters.
He introduced BombShell on his company's first website that year with the resulting fan base overwhelmingly applauding the character, they gave her the nickname: "The Gorgeous Psychotic."
Within a month after her public debut, fans started writing in, suggesting that when he's ready to do his first live-action movie, J-Bolt should do so based on BombShell. Having a similar idea, he took the fan suggestions seriously, immediately writing the brief story plot and successfully pitching it to the star he had in mind for the role, Rena Mero [best known as the wrestler "Sable"]. He wrote the first draft of the screenplay and it began getting rumors from industry professionals as being "Oscar-worthy. " This generated more stars to become a part of the project, with Stewart Raffil to direct.
Deciding to produce the film independently, he brought in Jackson Bostwick [best known as TV's first Captain Marvel in the 70's live-action series, "Shazam!" ] as Co-Producer and male lead in the story.
Other re-writes came about, extending the story, such as adding Marinna as the arch-nemesis in the film (just as in the comic series).
J-Bolt learned every detail of filmmaking through studying, talking with/being mentored by other industry professionals, and playing a cameo role in the film "Rat Race" for the purpose of on-set education.
As a result of the accomplishments he's made in his career and almost single-handedly bringing the BombShell film project to a level that other first time producers find impossible (and even seasoned producers have difficulty doing) J-Bolt was inducted into the history book of Marquis' Who's Who In America for 2005, 2006, and recently being one of the first inductees to be written into the new, even more exclusive, Marquis' Upcoming Leaders Of America for 2007.
Rena Mero was forced to leave the film due to resuming her role as Sable, which doesn't allow her to partake in other projects. Samantha Fox has since anxiously accepted the role with Amy Jo Johnson [best known as the original Pink Mighty Morphin Power Ranger] acquiring the role of Marinna.
The project is at the level of just needing the last $100,000 to finish pre-production, for due-diligence fees. J-Bolt had already invested all of his available funds for the project and an International Investment Firm signed on to fund the production, having approached him with the first guarantee, based on the publicity the film has produced.
Problems came about which resulted in the BombShell film project to have it's IMDb listing temporarily removed, until it completes the pre-production stage. Most of those problems have been resolved, but the IMDb listing for it will wait until that final stage is at hand.
Meanwhile, J-Bolt has a listing on IMDb for his cameo role in "Rat Race."
Fans can visit the LBE Company website listed here as well as the LBE Online Store, for Official LBE merchandise, at http://www.cafepres s.com/lbcmembersstor e. There are also still available copies of the collectors item first hard-print poster, "The Storm," which promotes the release of LBC's renowned title publication, "When Lightning Strikes," featuring J-Bolt's first creation: "Bolt."

Yeah, and all my shorties be real too. Straight up y'all, the reason I haven't completed my film yet is that I've been overwhelmed by fan demand for it. Yo, it's hard out here to make a movie when so many people are asking for it, f'shizzle. I'm all like, "step off and let me make the damn thang!" It's those Snoop-Bolt fanclubs in Japan that be constantly blowing up my email demanding movies based on their favorite LBE characters. It's distracting! If I were any less of a pimp I couldn't deal with all the love I gets for my comics and characters.
Peep this, my shizzle is so popular without any product that when I actually do publish something or release a movie, it's gonna be off the hizzook.

Okay, so as far as I understand it, J-bolt had developed some sort of vague friendship with a musician, Dani, from a band called Cradle of Filth.
But there appears to have been some sort of breakup in the friendship and Dani is clearly pissed off, and has nothing good to say about Jim.
The sex story is an unrelated joke.
Does that sound accurate?

Well, first, welcome. You'll find we're a jovial bunch.
We're not at war with J-bolt at all, but the guy showed up with ZERO knowledge of how the industry worked, and was lecturing all of us, any one of whom know the industry a thousand times better than he will if he lives to be a million.
It's just amusing, is all. Six years later, he's produced precisely nothing, while talking about his 'mainframe' and his 'dozens of employees,' meanwhile, he couldn't even keep his website up and running, and he writes like Ernest Hemmingway. I mean Ernest Hemmingway NOW, worms and all.

Whoa. So you are not only experienced in identifying mullets...you are actually experienced in the creation of mullets. That is intense.
I, on the other hand, must admit that I have only an aesthetic appreciation of the "business up front, party in the back" look, having grown up in Indiana and gone off to college in upstate New York--the mullet is somewhat popular in both regions, but I do not have any "hands on" experience.

Ok I used to bug people online through chats, pretending to be a friend a woman friend hahahah, so jim once was caught in by traps and he started chatting to me thinkin i was a Lady, LOL... talking about his "empassionings" blah blah blah :rolleyes: so boring ¬¬ so then we became friends after i fely sorry about making a fool out of him.
He introduced himself as "J-Bolt tjhe comic book master" and i was like "oh yeah alright, im Dani filth" ^^ Obviously he said he had listened to us and all hahahahaha bullshit, anyways... Friendshio developed, then he started saying i was his Bro... I mean tons of people that meet me call me his bro and that type of shit, creepy :( help me!!! xD hahahahaah so thats when he asked for the money, i said yeah he offered to gimme movie credits so i said yeah, then it turns out the money and other gifts i was giving, were like a payment for movie credits ¬¬ come on...
i forgot if i had other questions to answer hhmmm *thinks* oohh yeah!!!

Well, I'm glad you discovered J-bolt's line of bs before giving him 600K!
As for 'master of comics,' I'm sure you know that J-bolt, Jim Fisher, has no pro credits whatsoever, and in six years has managed to produce virtually nothing. I wrote more comics last week than he has in six years.
He's a near-okay artist, if very very lazy, but he has zero, and I mean ZERO, writing skills. It's painful to read his stuff.
So he goes around telling people he's famous, which I gather a few people outside of comics actually fell for.
Anyway, drop by anytime, Dani, I like the way you post!
Best wishes and thanks for the funny comments,

I understand about his living situation, nuff said.
But what I'm curious about is how it came to pass that you were going to loan him that money? I mean, when you knew that all the hype he came up with was just bs? Honestly, I'm just curious. The alarms went off for us with his very first fake press release.
I can see why it'd be easy to feel sorry for him, but to the tune of 600k? That's a lot of sympathy!
At one point on his blog he seems to be threatening someone not to reveal something to some big backer who is going to make him rich (I assume the backer is you) that might cause problems for him getting the money.
It's really uncomfortable stuff.

well the bash forum is at it again but not bash in the party sense but bash in the sense of, "I have a club and am going to hit a baby seal with it like a norweigan person who wants to eat baby seal meat for its fur!" I am of course using my mind-brain to point out the actions. If you need clarification of this then it will be spelled out, because not all people understand metaphors that are used.
The club is not a real club because no one is actually being beaten but if you are the j-bolt (aka he equal the baby seal in the metaphor) it probably feels like someone is hitting you on th head with a "club". Club in this case means both the party fun time of this forum but ALSO the bash in the sense of hitting, even though no one is actually being hit.
Anyways, so the bash forum is having a baby seal eating party! Why are you eating j-bolt at your party bash forum? or is skinning j-bolt for his fur the party? In which case, man, that's a bad way to have a party!
If you were going to have a party, I will find it and bring over a baby seal for you to hit and eat with a club--I WILL NOT WEAR THE FUR! Just as an aside, fur is not murder. THE ANIMAL IS ALREADY DEAD BY THE TIME IT BECOMES FUR PEOPLE!
So, to sum up, it's too bad everyone can't be in the same boat and that when they are, someone has to be made into a coat to keep everyone warm. The truth is like ice-cream on a hot day; it might melt and no longer be cold but it still tastes mostly like it did when it was frozen.
I cannot be more clear on this last point than that.

So, to sum up, it's too bad everyone can't be in the same boat and that when they are, someone has to be made into a coat to keep everyone warm. The truth is like ice-cream on a hot day; it might melt and no longer be cold but it still tastes mostly like it did when it was frozen.
I cannot be more clear on this last point than that.

Due to confidential agreements with confidentiality contract clauses I am unable (unforttuately) to reveal that at all. In the future I hope to start my own comics company like j-bolt or rick olney* so that this will no longer happen.
the only comic that I can openly credit at the moment was an ash-can given away at the 2002 comic-con--but the nobody jerks who made it quoted me out of context and didn't listen to my advice (which was to not publish it). It was called "ultimate fight comic" and it is an embarrasment to the art of comic books and creating them. The only comic to which I can have any credit openly is a garbage and no one has heard of it or the jerks who made it!
I will check out your work--it looks like it has a science-fiction theme and that it will/or was written with a sense of mind-brain-thought to it, which is always a good start. It may have moron tendencies but that cannot be helped. HAHAHAAH this is a joke bash forum do NOT hit with your baby seal club!

PLEASE DO NOT REFER TO MY DELICATE WIFEFLOWER AS A SHEWOLF, ESPECIALLY IF THIS IS REFERENCE TO HER NOT-SHAVING-HER-LEGS PHASE OF 1987-1993! I would strike all these references from the Internet if it worked like it should. I do not regret things I say or write with my mind-thoughts, especially for client-friends, but when it happens what can you do? anyways for the time yes, it is true, but she has (apparently) changed. We got back together a few months ago and have been returned to connubial bliss and fusion thanks to a chance encounter at Winn-Dixie in the frozen-food section.
She's not castrating anyone anymore and still thinks like a womanperson, but otherwise things are what they are. Unfortunately it means that my internet time is often limited due to issues it can cause. She gets upset when I scream at the computer at some moronturd who cannot use their mindbrain. The bash forum (aka this place) used to upset me but then I realized that it cannot be helped if people are like that. What can I say? That gap in her teeth has always seemed like it was made to fit me.

Ok I used to bug people online through chats, pretending to be a friend a woman friend hahahah, so jim once was caught in by traps and he started chatting to me thinkin i was a Lady, LOL... talking about his "empassionings" blah blah blah :rolleyes: so boring ¬¬ so then we became friends after i fely sorry about making a fool out of him.
He introduced himself as "J-Bolt tjhe comic book master" and i was like "oh yeah alright, im Dani filth" ^^ Obviously he said he had listened to us and all hahahahaha bullshit, anyways... Friendshio developed, then he started saying i was his Bro... I mean tons of people that meet me call me his bro and that type of shit, creepy :( help me!!! xD hahahahaah so thats when he asked for the money, i said yeah he offered to gimme movie credits so i said yeah, then it turns out the money and other gifts i was giving, were like a payment for movie credits ¬¬ come on...

Hey!
Sorry for the scam you went through.
Can I just suggest something though...
I wouldn't put up more than 10k (maybe excluding printing costs) towards that kind of project unless:
A) It's by recognized comics industry people. (If in doubt, post a name here and we can tell you if it's a legit creator.)
OR
B) It's by recognized movie industry people. (Who many of us should have at least enough contacts and/or resourcefulness to double-check.)
By all means, you could finance a new team of comic book creators and get a movie made.
I know pretty much exactly who I'd hire out of "the minors" if I had 10k and what publishers I'd go to. Tom Stillwell, I'm sure, does as well as do MacQuarrie or Red Jack or any number of folks here.
And if the goal is to make a comic that gets made into a movie, I think most of us know which publishers we'd want distributing it. It's a short list.
And I think most of us know or have a good idea what film studios to approach once a comic book is produced.
I don't think Jim Fisher has the first clue and that's part of the problem.

This is getting really weird for me, personally. This is getting REALLY familiar. No, I don't know J-Bolt, and have never met him, but more and more he's reminding me of someone I did once know. It really is spooky. I won't go into all of the similarities, (and they are many), so as not to post all that is being alluded to here, but I'll lay it out for you as best I can. Sorry boys and girls, this may get long-winded.
Reading the Olney thread last week, I saw several mentions of Mercedes Lackey, and it sparked a memory in me that I had not thought of in ages. It reminded me of a woman I was once acquainted with named Marlene Lint.
I don't know if anyone knew her, and if so, I hope that I don't offend anyone with what I'm about to write. However, if someone DID know her, they may have also found her to be quite a piece of work.
She also went by the names Miandra Case, and Mia MacKenzie. She used to tell me that she was president of either the National Mercedes Lackey Fan Club, or the On-line Fan Club, or just some BBS Fan Club. I don't fully recall, but that is why when I saw Ms. Lackey's named mentioned that I thought of this woman.
I met her on Compuserve. I was actually discussing poetry with some people, and she told me that she was a writer. I had been writing quite a bit of poetry, and was dabbling in short stories. I was hoping to get some input from some people that may have more experience in the field than myself. I wanted to find out where I should go in order to possibly getting some things published in some minor outlets.
She claimed to be a poet, novelist, counselor, tarot reader, and eventually about everything else under the sun. I also eventually found out, more or less, that she was none of the above.
Her main thing was that she was a writer. She had this novel that she would soon finish titled something like, "The Land of Shamalei". She would read me passages from it, and quite frankly, they weren't very good. The book was in a constant state of being, "almost done".
I found out that this was due to the fact that the story was basically a fantasy novel that quite obviously was just her own life. She would basically write about whatever was going on in her life, but would hide it in some poor excuse of fantasy genre writing. When she began dating someone new, she'd rewrite the story with this new man as the hero. When he'd find out how whacky she was and move on, she'd rewrite again with him as the villain. When the next man would come along, she'd rewrite with him as the hero, saving her from the last villain....on and on and on.
(Let me say here that I am NOT saying this is what J-Bolt does.)
So, her book would never get done. She'd blame all sorts of outside forces for hindering her. She'd blame ex-boyfriends, her mom, her sisters, and basically anyone except herself. She did have some actual medical problems, but it was odd how they tended to pop up out of nowhere when she didn't feel like dealing with reality. Those were blamed as well.
Soon after I met her on-line, she gave me her number. RAPIDLY, she wanted to pursue a romantic relationship. At first, she seemed like someone, who if living near me, I'd go out on a date with. I quickly learned that I wouldn't date her for anything. After only knowing each other a few weeks, she wanted me to quit college, and transfer across country to a school near her. Although I was diplomatic about it, my mind was saying..."NO WAY IN HELL, TOOTS!!!!"
I will skip some of the other weird stuff that happened between the both of us. Suffice it to say, we never met in person, and that suited me JUST FINE!
She had some good general computer knowledge, and when the internet began to grow, she started opening up a several sites. They were pretty much a whole lot of nothing. She'd get the basics down, with links to all sorts of things that she never added. Instead of just getting one website done and running well, she'd just start another, (often switching monikers), and do the same thing.
She had links to her software business. As far as I know, she never produced one piece of software, but she had names for all of her software subsidiaries!!!
She had a publishing group. Yeah...not a darned thing ever came out. Still, she had titles for many books, at least three series, (and each series had several titles already thought up), but pretty much nothing actually written on any of them.
Every damned thing was an acronym. Every "company branch" or project had one. It was really sad. I think all she ever created were the acronyms, but never went any further.
God forbid you ever mentioned to her that being that there was little to nothing PRODUCED by any of these entities, they really didn't exist. THEN you were in for it. She'd go off like...well you know people like that. Then, she'd try to get investors to support these companies.
Although I do believe that she was justifiably on disability, it's not like she would have wanted to work if she could. Her main goal was to either a) win the lottery, or b) be a "kept woman". (Her words.) She'd mention about wanting her companies to make money, but never really did anything that would lead to that.
Her "kept woman" thing was an ongoing theme. She'd take out tons of personal ads trying to find a man. She'd read me the ads, and I'd have to stifle laughter to stop myself from asking her, "who the hell was THAT supposed to be". She'd mention all sorts of things that she LOVED to do, but in reality she couldn't or wouldn't do. (i.e. say how much she was into skiing, but when she met a man that was nuts about skiing, she'd never go, and actually complain about his love for skiing.) Her ultimate goal was not really marriage. She mainly wanted some guy to give her money, and she'd occasionally put out a little sumpin'-sumpin'.
Anyway, I actually stayed in contact with her for about 7 years, until one day that all of her whiny scams got to be too much. She was in one of her moods putting down the world and me for her not having a life, so I quit holding my tongue, and she hung up. I never spoke to her again. I did keep up with her various scams and such on-line for awhile until I found that she apparently passed away in 2004.
I know that was long and very train-of-thought, but there is much more that is very similar to what is known of J-bolt. I would almost wonder if they were related. It was just odd that the reference on the Olney thread reminded me of her, and now all this new stuff here that would be JUST like her.
Wow. Thanks for letting me blather.

I opened up my skull and sterilized my brain. Then I popped out my eye balls and took a Brillo pad to them!!!
You know, nine out of ten neuro surgeons and optometrists recommend you don't do that.

Happy is not the right word. Perhaps a proper word to describe the emotional state is, "less frustrated." I think that--

You know, I feel for Jim's problems. Sounds like life hasn't given him the greatest shake lately.
That said, I don't feel sorry for him.
Life is not fair. People, for the most part, suck. Bad stuff happens to good people all the time.
Your amount of happiness in life comes in how you approach it. You make your own joy.
My oldest brother Tim died of a rare disease when he was thirteen and I was six. Time knew his life would be short. Physically, Tim has it pretty rough, requiring many surgeries. He was never able to do many things healthy kids do.
But by God, Tim was the happiest person I've ever known. He was the best person I've known. He touched so many people in such a short time by being joyful with the cards he was dealt. I've had strangers come up to me to tell me how much they loved Tim and what he meant to them.
It's been almost thirty years since he died. There's not a day that goes by that he doesn't inspire me to be a better person.
Life is what you make it.

Yeah, I get all that, and I don't know anyone who hasn't had some tragedies, and I don't believe you should let them destroy you.
But I still feel bad for others (and I'm tremendously sorry about your brother, Tom) and I know that battling depression is harder for some than for others.
I just felt bad for Jim. For all the stuff he's pulled, he's still a human being, and bleah, I don't know, I just have never wished him any evil, I just wanted him to quit with the non-stop obvious bullshit.
So I hope things pick up for him and his family.

This is getting really weird for me, personally. This is getting REALLY familiar. No, I don't know J-Bolt, and have never met him, but more and more he's reminding me of someone I did once know. It really is spooky. I won't go into all of the similarities, (and they are many), so as not to post all that is being alluded to here, but I'll lay it out for you as best I can. Sorry boys and girls, this may get long-winded.
Reading the Olney thread last week, I saw several mentions of Mercedes Lackey, and it sparked a memory in me that I had not thought of in ages. It reminded me of a woman I was once acquainted with named Marlene Lint.
I don't know if anyone knew her, and if so, I hope that I don't offend anyone with what I'm about to write. However, if someone DID know her, they may have also found her to be quite a piece of work.
She also went by the names Miandra Case, and Mia MacKenzie. She used to tell me that she was president of either the National Mercedes Lackey Fan Club, or the On-line Fan Club, or just some BBS Fan Club. I don't fully recall, but that is why when I saw Ms. Lackey's named mentioned that I thought of this woman.
I met her on Compuserve. I was actually discussing poetry with some people, and she told me that she was a writer. I had been writing quite a bit of poetry, and was dabbling in short stories. I was hoping to get some input from some people that may have more experience in the field than myself. I wanted to find out where I should go in order to possibly getting some things published in some minor outlets.
She claimed to be a poet, novelist, counselor, tarot reader, and eventually about everything else under the sun. I also eventually found out, more or less, that she was none of the above.
Her main thing was that she was a writer. She had this novel that she would soon finish titled something like, "The Land of Shamalei". She would read me passages from it, and quite frankly, they weren't very good. The book was in a constant state of being, "almost done".
I found out that this was due to the fact that the story was basically a fantasy novel that quite obviously was just her own life. She would basically write about whatever was going on in her life, but would hide it in some poor excuse of fantasy genre writing. When she began dating someone new, she'd rewrite the story with this new man as the hero. When he'd find out how whacky she was and move on, she'd rewrite again with him as the villain. When the next man would come along, she'd rewrite with him as the hero, saving her from the last villain....on and on and on.
(Let me say here that I am NOT saying this is what J-Bolt does.)
So, her book would never get done. She'd blame all sorts of outside forces for hindering her. She'd blame ex-boyfriends, her mom, her sisters, and basically anyone except herself. She did have some actual medical problems, but it was odd how they tended to pop up out of nowhere when she didn't feel like dealing with reality. Those were blamed as well.
Soon after I met her on-line, she gave me her number. RAPIDLY, she wanted to pursue a romantic relationship. At first, she seemed like someone, who if living near me, I'd go out on a date with. I quickly learned that I wouldn't date her for anything. After only knowing each other a few weeks, she wanted me to quit college, and transfer across country to a school near her. Although I was diplomatic about it, my mind was saying..."NO WAY IN HELL, TOOTS!!!!"
I will skip some of the other weird stuff that happened between the both of us. Suffice it to say, we never met in person, and that suited me JUST FINE!
She had some good general computer knowledge, and when the internet began to grow, she started opening up a several sites. They were pretty much a whole lot of nothing. She'd get the basics down, with links to all sorts of things that she never added. Instead of just getting one website done and running well, she'd just start another, (often switching monikers), and do the same thing.
She had links to her software business. As far as I know, she never produced one piece of software, but she had names for all of her software subsidiaries!!!
She had a publishing group. Yeah...not a darned thing ever came out. Still, she had titles for many books, at least three series, (and each series had several titles already thought up), but pretty much nothing actually written on any of them.
Every damned thing was an acronym. Every "company branch" or project had one. It was really sad. I think all she ever created were the acronyms, but never went any further.
God forbid you ever mentioned to her that being that there was little to nothing PRODUCED by any of these entities, they really didn't exist. THEN you were in for it. She'd go off like...well you know people like that. Then, she'd try to get investors to support these companies.
Although I do believe that she was justifiably on disability, it's not like she would have wanted to work if she could. Her main goal was to either a) win the lottery, or b) be a "kept woman". (Her words.) She'd mention about wanting her companies to make money, but never really did anything that would lead to that.
Her "kept woman" thing was an ongoing theme. She'd take out tons of personal ads trying to find a man. She'd read me the ads, and I'd have to stifle laughter to stop myself from asking her, "who the hell was THAT supposed to be". She'd mention all sorts of things that she LOVED to do, but in reality she couldn't or wouldn't do. (i.e. say how much she was into skiing, but when she met a man that was nuts about skiing, she'd never go, and actually complain about his love for skiing.) Her ultimate goal was not really marriage. She mainly wanted some guy to give her money, and she'd occasionally put out a little sumpin'-sumpin'.
Anyway, I actually stayed in contact with her for about 7 years, until one day that all of her whiny scams got to be too much. She was in one of her moods putting down the world and me for her not having a life, so I quit holding my tongue, and she hung up. I never spoke to her again. I did keep up with her various scams and such on-line for awhile until I found that she apparently passed away in 2004.
I know that was long and very train-of-thought, but there is much more that is very similar to what is known of J-bolt. I would almost wonder if they were related. It was just odd that the reference on the Olney thread reminded me of her, and now all this new stuff here that would be JUST like her.
Wow. Thanks for letting me blather.
Your story reminds me of a girl who I met in real life. Her story was kinda sad. She would try and change herself for each man that came into her life. It was sad and pathetic. Where we worked she went from someone who joked with us and all to a prim and proper angel. And it was like Paris Hilton accepting Christianity into her life now. :p

Ick. I wish to god he would learn to just STOP WITH THE BULLSHIT.
"Now is the PERFECT time to join J-Bolt's Yahoo! 360... so DON'T WAIT!
At the end of this last weekend (Sunday night/Monday morning) I did as promised. I have now changed the viewable format of my personal Yahoo! 360 page to that of being able to be viewed by ONLY those on my 360 Friends List. This includes being able to send me messages, comments, replying with your messages to my blog entries, etc.
Now, the reason I started this, though it was explained in the forum entry and all over the LBE Online site and the like, isn't the whole reason. In browsing the people on 360, I found not only fellow professionals in the comic book and filmmaking industries, but people who just plain appreciate both of them and I think will be great friends.
I like making friends as always, and had very high hopes for the Bashers to be friends, but apparently, it wasn't in the cards for me, there.
I surround myself with music, art and always try to find friends who I have at least SOMETHING in common with, on a personal level. My personal circle of friends has been quite small in the last few years because of things such as my old High School friends and I growing apart, and others just getting a whole new life, moving away, which resulted similarly. Therefore, I'm always wanting more friends around, even online.
People say that online friendships and the like are ridiculous because all you're doing is putting your time into just typing on a keyboard and not having any interaction with people. That is so wrong because you really are talking TO people. It's not a virtual pet or a virtual friend... it's real people that can be so great because they are people from ALL OVER THE WORLD. I love learning and sharing from such people and do have online friends, like this, in my personal life, as just plain Jim Fisher.
Doing this as J-Bolt is great because I can find out who will be great, REAL friends, much easier than meeting somebody as Jim Fisher, then watch their attentions towards me change once they find out I'm J-Bolt.
I'm not a big celebrity obviously, but nonetheless, I am one at all... and that is something that changes the way that people think of you. I've heard Basher opinions that I think I'm all that and such, but it is SO not true. I know who and what I am, and I don't have an unrealistic view of myself. When my publicity first happened, exactly what I said (not being able to go into public without being recognized) and that's exactly why I created the J-Bolt persona. Obviously, I was able to keep my publicity going strong on that because I was the "youngest comic book publisher ever," even though I hadn't yet published anything, plus this persona I created generated a great deal of curiosity by people.
I ended up draining all that publicity after about 2 years where press wanted to do any more stories about me until I finally published, but I continued using word-of-mouth to keep a level of publicity present.
Then, in 1999, I published the When Lightning Strikes Ashcan and the "Storm" poster, publicizing the upcoming When Lightning Strikes comic book series that I'd been working on since 1987.
In 2000 is when the BombShell movie came to surface, Rena Mero being the first cast member attached to it. This made my publicity start growing again but not with interviews... with the BombShell movie news. The more that it was heard about by Industry Professionals, the more that the publicity gained enemies by those who became known as the "Bashers."
I worked for a couple years trying to get them to stop bashing me before I finally gave up and accepted that they'd hear nothing from me. All it would have taken to get them on my side was to prove to them that I have (in some cases had, with changes that had been made) the cast/crew that I've stated, but Confidentiality Clauses prevented me from doing so. I will be checking into the legalities of a cast members' death preventing him from being in the film. In that, I'm talking about Pat Morita. If I find out from a board certified attorney that it is legal to make that Letter Of Intent public, I'll do so... then, maybe they'll see that I've told the truth all along as I have either Letters Of Intent (LOI) and/or Letters Of Commitment (LOC) from cast/crew members.
Anybody that doesn't know what those are, an LOI is the intent of being involved as a cast and/or crew member in the project pertaining to it, but that scheduling has to be made capable for everybody to do so. An LOC is a definite of them being in the project, but again, scheduling can still be a possible delay.
Now... the Bashers did get confirmation from Jackson Bostwick as starring in the film, as well as Co-Producing it, but they kept contacting him repeatedly and Jackson didn't like the harassment, so he ignored the rest of their e-mails and the like. Since he refused to keep letting them bother him, they construed that on their forums as meaning that he's changed his mind, now NOT being involved in the project. Of course, even if they had that notion, they never took into account that the project has been confirmed. It's just the way they are.
Their interference has caused all the cast/crew and I to have to put the film's progress of more staff into 'top security' mode, as well as anybody contacting them, the cast/crew tells them that they don't even know what the project is. Of course the Bashers take that literally, even if any cast/crew talk about their involvement on their websites. It's comical to an extent that can't even be described.
Nonetheless, they've even caused problems with the earlier incarnations of the LBE Online website. When it first started as lightning-bolt-comics.com, in 1999, we had advertised fan sites all over the World and an average of 5,000 hits per day. When the Bashers started bringing their fight to the site, people didn't want to be involved with it any longer and the site was lucky to be able to get 100 hits a day.
Now, we can police the site from them so much more easily, whereas they can't even get in nor stay in for any length of time (especially since one of their own designed this current incarnation, though we're still trying to work out the bugs she left behind). This makes the site COMPLETELY safe for viewers to come back again, and all of you are. Our numbers increase every day where it's even impossible for us to give an average number of hits. THAT'S what we've been working back towards.
Even when we had the 5,000 hits a day, we never had too many forum posts, so that's no surprise, but I'm working on making it even more interactive so that the fans and viewers will involve themselves even more. Meanwhile, everybody is mostly having fun with the Color Me Pages, the Galleries, and checking the Productions section daily, waiting for more news.
The point with the Bashers is that we had a short time of friendship with a large majority of them (I usually only see a couple dozen on their forums even posting anything, but all they have is their forums to be involved with, so there's nothing else for those people, though I'm sure they're trying to work out a 'pin the tail on J-Bolt' game... LOL). But, they aren't destined to remain or even be friends with me. I don't worry about it, really. I just check in on it occasionally to see what their latest attack plans are against me. And it gets hilarious to see their little unintelligent quips, many of them they take so seriously. I think their funniest ones were said in their current posts, when they claimed some adult forum post and an over-weight anti-war demonstrator to be me.
I'm sure you can see how many of these things can cause problems on making real friends... but the Yahoo 360 accomplishes that even more.
So, come join me on Yahoo 360 and we can talk about anything you like, you getting to be able to know me MUCH better and as just a person. Just in case you didn't see the LBE Online Forum string in the "General Topics" section, the link of my Yahoo! 360 page is http://360.yahoo.com/profile-Y2dZ0X87eakuJsopwdVAvQU-?cq=1
Hope to see ya' there...

I should also add that I talk to Jackson Bostwick regularly, talked to him two days ago, in fact, and that he often initiates the conversation. Once again, poor Jim "I'm A Witch, I Swear! And I live with my mom! And I can't afford groceries but I have a mainframe and dozens of employees!" Fisher can't get his bullshit straight.
"WHY THE COMICS ARE TAKING SO LONG
Monday, March 26 2007 @ 06:47 AM MST
Contributed by: J-Bolt
Views: 2
Many people have been wondering what's taking so long getting the LBC comic titles done...
Why has it taken so long to finish the comic books?
When I was in High School, I wrote to DC and Marvel comics, asking them about the details of how to make my own comic book: what kind of paper I should use, what size the paper should be, etc. Somewhere in my storage, I still have the letters from them saying that I can use ANY paper and do it ANY size I'm comfortable with. So, I liked using regular art paper, and I had reams of it. I cut a bunch of it down to actual finished comic book size: 10" X 6.5" and drew my comics on that.
Some comic book retailers told me that comics actually have to be drawn on Bristol Board at 11" X 17" (1 1/2 times up to be reduced down to 66%) but I didn't believe them since I heard otherwise from DC/Marvel. So, in 1986, I began drawing my comics and had gotten up to #4 of WLS, in a few months.
Of course I was quite inexperienced but I studied what was out there and knew what I liked. So, I did the comics according to that. Remember that this was in the style of the late '80's.
Some years passed before I learned that DC/Marvel misinformed me and the comic dealers gave the truth, I got nervous because I've always been more comfortable drawing small and uber detailed. I didn't like drawing on large paper because I felt there was far too much space that I didn't think I could fill it all up well.
About another couple of years later, I decided to try it, making myself get used to drawing larger, while being able to get in all my details. I felt that it was perfect for me to draw panels with characters who ended up being small in view and still being able to get in my details... and reducing them will make sure that my details don't get lost.
I re-drew When Lightning Strikes #1 more detailed and with a better storyline. All the while of doing this, I was toying around with what ended up becoming When Lightning Strikes #0. I never meant to publish it or such... it was meant just as a tool for me to inspire myself for expanding the story of Bolt. That ended up getting expanded even further when I added Wolff and Draco as a result of these 3 characters being the favorites of fans that came to see me at a 1987 Las Vegas comic book convention. I didn't quite know what else I'd do with it, but it indeed inspired me to write and re-write the origins of these characters better. The problem was that I wrote it for myself, so I didn't detail the writing enough, targeting it for an audience other than me.
Though WLS #0 is now online, in the Members section, it will go through another re-write itself, so that it's better targeted to everybody else instead of what I tried the first time. It may even just remain as an Online ONLY comic, with issue #1 being the first to be hard-published. I haven't decided on this quite yet and I'd love feedback from LBE Online fans and viewers. If I do make it into just an online comic, I'm considering creating another cover for it and using Steve Carr's brilliantly painted wrap-around cover for issue #1. Again... let me know what you all think about it.
In 1999, I met Steve Carr. He and I became great friends and he helped me fill in all the other comic book creation and publication details that I didn't already know... down to how artists who aren't in-house get their pages and payments sent and send them back. He was a great, invaluable help to me and to Lightning Bolt Comics and still is.
As time went by, he accepted my offer to work for me and we hit it off greatly that way also. He just had limitations, due to his physical disabilities, that he could no longer work on full comic books, unless he's given several months to do so. I still plan on giving him such a project at some point, but until then, we agreed that he'd be my lead cover artist and create posters and such with me as well. You can even see, in the LBE Online Gallery, a poster idea he had for the BombShell movie while Rena Mero was going to play the role. It was rejected, but it's a rare piece in existance that may go to auction once the BombShell movie is released.
When I brought BombShell out from my stored files and re-created her to what she is today, Steve was there. He and my other friends felt that she was my best character yet, and all the LBE fans completely agree.
Steve of course drew the cover for BombShell #1, as I started writing the complete story. I found out the fans' opinion of her when I introduced her on the Lightning Bolt Comics site. They loved her so much that they all suggested that when I'm ready to make my first movie, to do so based on her. I couldn't agree more, as I had similar thoughts and quickly ended up casting Rena Mero for the role, after I finished writing the screenplay.
When Lightning Strikes #1 went into one final re-write and also putting BombShell into a comic book became the issues that I've been working on since then.
But, this isn't the only thing I'm working on. I'm also working on the BombShell movie, one-shots for merchandise intended for the LBE store, plus needed shots otherwise, operating the LBE website, as well as juggling a personal life and other freelance work I do in order to earn more money for my own cost of living as well as the very few employees I have that are on salary. On top of all this, now I'm also dealing with legal matters concerning an Investor who fell through, re-nigging on a written deal.
Now... with that completely busy schedule, keep in mind that I'm doing these comics books all by myself, as everybody knows that I don't have the final funds needed for which part of it involves hiring other talent. This means I'm doing the writing, penciling, inking, coloring, lettering, etc., etc. on TWO titles right now and the only help I get is from some friends who are professionals, helping me with story editing.
My lone work on all these projects is one of the reasons I've been inducted into the Marquis' books an unheardof three years in a row, so far.
Please know that I am doing all that I physically can to get these issues done as soon as possible, while doing so using the highest standards and quality possible, as I won't allow anything less.
I hope this answers everybody's questions as to what's taking so long for the comics to get completed. If you have any other questions, don't be afraid to ask me... either here or on my Yahoo 360 personal page.

I will ask, though, Gail: do most comic artists really draw on such large boards or does it vary from company or creator?

Most companies use a large board like that, yes. DC pages are actually slightly larger than the industry standard. I don't remember the exact measurements, although I have dozens of pages of original art from books I've worked on. I'm just too lazy to look for a tape measure. :)

You know, this is one of the things that bugs me most about people like Jim and Rick Olney.
They do nothing, they don't produce, and yet when they fail at everything, they blame everyone ELSE.
How pathetic is it to blame someone who doesn't like you on a message board for your OWN failure to ever finish anything?
I'm trying to imagine if Alan Moore said he couldn't finish Watchmen because some guy on a message board hurt his feelings.
That's not what pros do. Pros get up every day and work their asses off no matter WHAT someone says on comicopinionthing.com.
It's just so juvenile. If you can't produce, shut the hell up and get out of the way.
Look at Tom Stillwell. He had a lot stacked against him, not that many resources and not that much experience, and he went out and produced a great series with professional covers and a good story and bam, now it's out there and the world is his oyster. No one handed him anything and I'm sure he had a lot of setbacks.
The difference between Tom and these other posers?
He was a pro in his MIND before he actually started to work. He knew what had to be done and did it. I have nothing but admiration for that.
I even have sympathy for those who try and fail.
But it ends when you whine and blame others when you can't put your own damn fingers on the keyboard, or pick up a pencil on a regular basis.
That's YOUR fault.

Oh, and if you can't produce work?
You're not the next Stan Lee.
You're the next Herbert Blowpuppy, Stan's neighbor who always planned to write a novel someday.

I like to think of myself as the second coming of Bruce Campbell. No, really, it's creepy when you look at his high school photo and then look at my high school photo. O.o;;
Interesting fact about the size thing, Gail! Are they inked/colored at the same size (when not done digitally, anyway), or are they re-printed at a smaller size for the inkers and colorists to work with?

They are inked full size and then digitally shrunk, but I don't know about color. I would imagine it's done full size, but can't say for sure.

But warning, VERY NSFW, unless you work somewhere where transsexual porn is part of the work day.

In all fairness, he does have other porn pics besides for TS-drawings.

You know, this is one of the things that bugs me most about people like Jim and Rick Olney.
They do nothing, they don't produce, and yet when they fail at everything, they blame everyone ELSE.
How pathetic is it to blame someone who doesn't like you on a message board for your OWN failure to ever finish anything?
I'm trying to imagine if Alan Moore said he couldn't finish Watchmen because some guy on a message board hurt his feelings.
That's not what pros do. Pros get up every day and work their asses off no matter WHAT someone says on comicopinionthing.com.
It's just so juvenile. If you can't produce, shut the hell up and get out of the way.
Look at Tom Stillwell. He had a lot stacked against him, not that many resources and not that much experience, and he went out and produced a great series with professional covers and a good story and bam, now it's out there and the world is his oyster. No one handed him anything and I'm sure he had a lot of setbacks.
The difference between Tom and these other posers?
He was a pro in his MIND before he actually started to work. He knew what had to be done and did it. I have nothing but admiration for that.
I even have sympathy for those who try and fail.

Garsh. Thanks, Gail.
As much as I as pimp my book, I'm not much for tooting my own horn (not that way, you pervs!) but you hit it pretty squarely on the head. If I wanted to be a pro in comics I had to BE a pro.
Gail has four books out right now, all doing well. I'm boggled that she can write that much.
She works her ass off. She doesn't write when the mood strikes her or when there's nothing good on the tube. Gail is writing everyday for hours. She's writing when sick and when tired. It is her job, she's agreed to deadlines, and she's taking care of business.
I can think of other folks on here working everyday in comics as freelancers. Dave Rothe, Jim Taylor, Jeff Austin, Danny Donovan... the list goes on. Or Crowley working for DDP doing a job he didn't really want, mastering it, and moving up to the job he wanted. These guys are pros. They work hard. I only hope some day I have their experience and talent.
J-Bolt and Olney...those guys are posers. They want the lemonade without squeezing the lemons. Not just from comics but from life.

I'm pretty sure it's done full size.
It's really pretty cool to see pages used to make comics. I just got a bunch from Tony Isabella for the auction, Hawkman and Black Lightning, that have me captivated.

"I will be checking into the legalities of a cast members' death preventing him from being in the film."
That's my new favorite unintentionally funny sentence ever.
Gail
Maybe it's like a comic book character's death.
Six or twelve months later he's back in the movie, baby !

Color is done at actual comic size. By color I mean when an artist colors a photocopy or laser print of the art using markers or Dr. Martin's inks. Then some poor underpaid sap takes that color markup and recreates it in Photoshop using a high-resolution scan of the page.
Lettering is done using the same scan. Then it's all assembled in the computer.
