Not sure if anyone has posted about this on here yet, but a bunch of people on Twitter have recently been making AI crypto slop of Horace???
So, obviously, crypto bros are obsessed with Pepe the Frog, which means they're also partially obsessed with Matt Furie, the creator of "Boys Club". And they recently found out that "Boys Club" was heavily inspired by the Alfe zines, and that Horace in particular looks a lot like Pepe. This has led to shit like this being made:
That's right, AI goop! Not only that, BUT ALSO A WHOLE ALL HORACE TOKEN. THERE'S EVEN A TWITTER PAGE DEDICATED TO IT!
Horace came before Pepe The character from Ben Jonesโ comics that directly influenced Matt Furie, and the one Matt himself said Pepe looks
Say what you will, but this is probably the worst thing that has ever happened to The Problem Solverz. These characters are now doomed to essentially be tied up with a bunch of annoying Twitter crypto bros. A fate worse than death, if you ask me.
Ben probably won't do shit about this because he is a bit of a crypto bro (he did a bunch of NFT stuff between 2021 and 2023, from what I've heard); that and also he straight-up doesn't own the rights to Horace anymore; CN does. Will Cartoon Network do anything about it then? Fuck no! They don't care about this show!
All in all, this is just a really terrible situation for everyone involved. Problem Solverz fans are now associated with crypto bros. Ben is being ripped off and not paid a cent for his creations; crypto bros that invest in this are gonna get rug-pulled, and the only person profiting is some Norwegian dude. I hate that this is the state of social media.
