Comic strip a conspiracy myth

I thought this had been resolved earlier in the thread? I'll need to go back through it and find out when I have a chance.

It's definitely doable.

In terms of copyright, it is, but the problem is that most of the comics are a little esoteric for general consumption. Such a project would require a lengthy introduction explaining what prompted the creation of the comics. I imagine it would go something like this:

In 2006, a strange battle began to brew between the members of two very different internet forums. On one side was the forum for the James Randi Educational Foundation, devoted to skepticism, science, and critical thinking in general. On the other side, the forum for the low-budget conspiracy flick, "Loose Change", devoted to the idea that the story of the 9/11 attacks wasn't interesting enough as it was, so a new narrative needed to be inserted in its place. Just what that narrative is, is anybody's guess...

It would then go on to explain some of the background people/events that inspired the comics.

Yes, and I also imagine many strips would have to be evaluated from a legal standpoint. For instance, every time "JREF" is referenced...
 
Skimming through the thread, a lot of the strips are generic enough to be consumed by a wider audience (provided they have some awareness of CTs) Most of them are no more arcane than the stuff lampooned on South Park. I think even your Apprentice series, aggle-rithm, is generic enough for the most part.

If we trimmed out the inside jokes or provided context where a strip is too good to pass up, there's still a lot of material there.
 
Just my $.02 ...

I don't follow the CT threads because I just don't have the patience, but I find these cartoons hilarious. Some context on who the characters are might help.
 
Hm....What about creating a series of characters ourself, from scratch, and re-worke the stuff with our own non-scriptgenerator stuff? I was thinking starting out with an invite-only yahoo-group for filesharing etc.

I personally think it could work (even if I'm not the most hilarious of the writers here).......
 
Mighty victory! :D

Anyway...

Maybe this could tie in with the comments DR was making about us getting "mainstream"?

The proposal...

We assemble a list of common CTs, and refute them using comics, instead of detail scientific data.

The idea is to demonstrate how ridiculously stupid the CT notions are.

This is essentially poisoning the well as we will be encouraging the general populace to reject 9/11 CTs outright by making mockery of the most ridiculous ones.

This is a logical fallacy, but it is also highly effective.

Links can be provided in a glossary for specific and detailed debunkings, as well as cites to where the claims are made.

Additionally, I propose the NWO Kitty scenario is assembled into a big long series, which is inter-dispersed throughout the book.

Perhaps it can begin by introducing the over-arching "NWO/Illuminati/Zionist/Mason" CT that has been around for centuries.

It could begin with a brief history of the various versions of the NWO CTs (using more comics?), finally ending with the current version, introducing the MIBs and NWO Kitty.

Then from there we move into the specific claims, and respond with specific cartoons. But also including NWO Kitty episodes as we trot along.

I propose a title or packaging for the book that promotes the NWO angle as much as the 9/11 angle.

Recent things like "The Da Vinci Code" make this a sensible marketing ploy. Also interest in this sort of world-controlling CT is universal.

Great idea.

Especially as some of the common CTers are so vague and obtuse about what their pet theory actually is. I remember wading through post after post from TS about dustifcation, before he finally said it was caused by beam weapons.

A three frame pictorial shortcut would have saved so much time.
 
The centuries-spanning NWO, and their evil plan to continually oppress our rights...
