Transcript

Alec: Hi, is this... is this, uh, Christian Weston Chandler?

Chris: Yeah, this is Christian, may I help you?

Alec: Hi Chris, um... this is Alec Benson Leary. Is it-Is it okay if we talk?

Chris: Oh yes. Uh... Sure. yes. So uh...

Alec: Good. Well, uh, there's a couple of things I wanted to talk about tonight. Um, first of all, uh... Well I understand you've got... you've got a problem with the ads that are on CWCipedia? Can you... Can you tell me a little more about um... I kinda want to have, you know, get a compromise and settle this 'cause... 'cause I don't... I don't want anybody to be angry.

Chris: Okay yeah. I'll let you have your ads on the Cwcipedia but don't make them too big, and uh, leave 'em in the side bar.

Alec: Okay... um...

Chris: (interrupts) I don't want-I don't want-I do not want them in-I do not want them c... c... covering over... the introductory box or any-or anything else where I have to scroll down even to edit the pages. Or even to log in.

Alec: Okay, um. Well I understand

Chris: So- so Okay cool. Just keep your ads on the sidebar.

Alec: Yeah my friend Mao, he um, he actually makes the ads for me. I didn't make them myself but I can try to talk to him about that. About the size.

Chris: Okay. Alright.

Alec: As for like, where on the CWCipedia, they are, I don't know if Mao controls that or not, I don't think he does. I think... I'm not sure what controls like where the adspace goes, you know. I mean, I'll talk to Mao about it but I'm not sure if he controls that either.

Chris: Yeah. Okay

Alec: Yeah like, I can talk to him. But you might want to talk to your web manager or whatever, Cuz they set up the way the adspace goes, you know?

Chris: Yeah, and also, just uh, just one more concern of mine upon- uh, yeah, I've uh, read your pages on the Asperchu comic. But the-and the recent pages, what do you think you're doing- what do you think you- what do you think you're parodying, happy tree friends?

Alec: Um... What's happy tree friends? What's that?

Chris: [Sighs] It's supposed to be like a happy TV-Y show, but it's actually- it's actually adult dark humor because they go into cut-slashing all the cute characters up and uh, it's- well all the blood and gore and everything, and yet they make them come- they make them come back to life unharmed in the very next episode, just to slice and dice em up again.

Alec: Oh. Um, I've actually never heard of that series. What is, is that on cartoon network or...

Chris: [Talking over Alec] ye- yeah... no you can look it up on netflix.

Alec: Oh.

Chris: Yeah that's a good place. But anyway, blood and gore. Yeah, that's not a good way to go, especially when you killed, even- even considerable facsimiles of my own characters in that sense, and in that detail.

Alec: Well you know, um, I actually- I got a lot of uh, actually positive response from my fans when I did that. Because you know, some of my fans [trails off as Chris interrupts.]

Chris: Yeah, yeah, that's another thing. Yeah that's another thing. Encourage the fans that were originally my fans to come back to me. I would appreciate that.

Alec: Uh, Well I, I mean, you know I tell my fans all about you all the time Chris, because, you know, like I've told you in a lot of the letters I've written to you you were a big inspiration to me. You know, I don't really know what to say to my fans as far as that goes. They uh, they love my comic. I get a lot, I get a lot of fanmail about it.

Chris: Yeah, okay. Umm okay how about this, uh, just to make it equal, um, put an advertisement for the CWCipedia on uh, on the Asperpedia. About as much as the Asperpedia ads are on my CWCipeida.

Alec: Um, well um yeah, we might be able to work something out, you know, you'd probably want to contact Mao, cuz he's my manager he does all the grunt work on Asperpedia. Um, I'm not even sure what how selling the adspace works but I'm sure he'd be willing to sell you some adspace on Asperpedia we could definitely try to work something like that out.

Chris: So basically... alright well, alright well Mao and I can talk through E-mail.

Alec: Yeah, yeah. Yeah cuz, you can- I mean, like I said I don't know the details but I know adspace is up for purchase so...

Chris: Yeah. Alright. Then we got settled on at least on, your ads on my CWCipedia. And yeah, ease up on the- not so much blood and gore. And try to uh, bring my fans, uh, redirect my fans back to me.

Alec: Um... well you know uh... I'm trying to think of a good way to say this, but you know, we are in kind of a friendly competition if you will. You know we, we're both artists, kind of. I mean, it doesn't really make sense for an artist to say to his fans, "Hey guys, don't follow me anymore, go back to this other artist". I mean, would you do that for your fans? Would you say "Hey fans, go talk to Alec" or "go watch Alec's cartoon" or anyone else's cartoon I mean really? No you want the fans to follow you.

Chris: Um. Okay, um. Okay yeah I can understand that um, okay, um.

Alec: Yeah, Mm-hmm.

Chris: Well since, well since you and I are on- are on okay agreeing mutual- okay talking tones right now.

Alec: Mmm-hmm?

Chris: How about I, uh, How about I just remove all the bad talk I have against you, and then start saying that, start saying that you're okay, that your comic is okay, that and uh, you know, but still saying that your, like you know I would appreciate it if you would stay being my fans, but if you want to go look at his work, that's fine I can't stop you there, but you know.
