Not surprisingly,
I get plenty of email about this web site. Mostly they're from visitors
interested in shooting the piano player but occasionally I get the
odd kudo. So here they are, fresh, unvarnished, and in semi-chronological
order for your perusal. If you'd like to share your opinions on
the site, click here.
| Note:
This first email, circa 1998, was from one of Buddy's girlfriends
who, like all his strumpets, wrote the occasional gag for
the Quig's. I cherish this letter because she's entirely wrong
on every major point she makes. I realize the message was
primariliy intended to hurt my feelings but I find it a rather
compelling portrait of someone rationalizing their meaningless
existence as Buddy's cockholster du jour. =mike=
Hey there Mike. This is A******. I just
wanted to thank you for including me in your one outlet to
the world. It is the affirmation of the legendary insanity
which I had heard tell of for these past several years. I
hope some day you have the same lack of talent which has landed
Buddy (and now myself) in newspapers all across the globe.
I wonder will you be running commercials when our animated
sitcom comes out? If so, give us a buzz so we can watch for
them. A suggestion, the Super Bowl gets the most viewers.
Oh, but no one cares about talentless people whose only exposure
is downgrading the talent which exists in other more well
adjusted human beings,so I suppose it would be futile.
Epilogue:
The animated sitcom of which A****** spoke was called "God,
the Devil, and Bob". Thirteen episodes were produced
and four aired in America on Fox before they stuck a knife
in that deformed little baby. Buddy didn't create it nor write
it. He was credited, along with twelve other anonymous people,
with "visual effects" and , not surprisingly, A******'s
name was nowhere to be found amongst the credits, so this
is hardly "their" animated sitcom. Just more Buddy
bullshit. |

2-17-05:
I've always been a bit rankled by the inherent message in the
above missive that Buddy, by being a syndicated cartoonist,
is in some fashion superior to anyone else.
Me, specifically.
Which is why I was delighted to discover a wonderful little
web site called googlefight.com. They've developed a widget
that lets you compare the relative popularity of disparate subjects.
So I compared my name against Buddy's, just to see what would
happen. The quotation marks kept the searches specific to the
whole name, not just parts of it. This screen-shot of the result
spells it all out:
You should
be aware that my last name, Stanfill, is not very common. In
fact, "Hickerson" out-Google's "Stanfill"
84,5000 to 40,900. There are other Mike Stanfill's out there,
including one other artist that I know of, but it's my hard
work as an illustrator and an all-around internet monkey-boy
that results in my out-pointing of this midget of the syndicated
comic industry.
Just to rub it in a little bit more, I checked out the Google
popularity of the names of other comic artists and here are
the results:
Stephen Pastis (Pearls Before Swine): 3,800
Berkely Breathed (Opus, et al): 23,000
Dik Browne (Hagar the Horrible): 8,280
Gary Larson (The Far Side): 1,120,000
So not only does Buddy get his comic clock cleaned by crappy
comics (Hagar) and brand new comics (Pearls) but the comic the
Quigmans is said to most resemble (The Far Side) outpoints Buddy's
measly attempt by such a ridiculously massive margin that, much
like the Quigmans themselves, it's just not funny.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• |
Footnote:
11-8-05: I stopped by googlefight.com today and ran another
comparison. This is just sad, really... a nationally-syndicated
cartoonist getting his ass kicked by a plain, ordinary animator-illustrator-web
designer. Tsk-tsk-tsk.

Hi Mike,
Sounds like you're really mad - but interesting. I gave you
a link at:
http://www.pacificnet.net/art/ToonLinks.html
Check it out.
staryl
Actually, don't check it out as it's been
a dead link for a long time. =mike= |
| ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• |
For
God's sake man, Get A Life! It is indeed sunny outside so pry
your vengeful little fingers away from your sticky little keyboard
and move on. I'm sure whatever contribution you made to the
Quigman's was so minimal and "after the fact" that
you probably should be flattered ol' Bud humored you by using
the ideas in the first place. If it bothers you so much, create
something of your own instead of riding on someone else's coattails...
Besides I kind of like reruns. |
| ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• |
So
you think that everybody who reads this for the 1st time is
going to dig up some old newspapers and go, "Oh, this wasn't
written by Stanfill!" No. Ya need to print the cartoons
themselves, not just the titles. If you are too chicken to reprint
the cartoons, it takes away from the believability of your story.
I am not saying that I don't believe you, I am just saying I
want some cartoons to see.Anyway, your story sounds like the
real-life Kramer and George stories from Seinfeld. So why don't
you quit bitching and write up your own strip. I would read
it, cause if your are the 1/2 genius you claim to be, you are
pretty funny.
That's kind of why I added the "Proof"
section to this site. Thanks for asking. =mike= |

Dear
Mike,
being a long time fan of the quigmans cartoon and knowing that
certain things go un-responded to in the on-line world I just
wanted to let you know I care that you're trying to play with
another mans work. Knowing you participated in creating the
strip with mr. hickerson makes me wonder if you have an attachment
to him or the strip?. Do you tap his phone line?, check his
email?, wonder what he's doing?, take pictures of him? ,bad
mouth him to other people? Wow, if you do just one of these
things its you wonder why this country is going down the tubes!
Smart people like yourself are wasting time and virtual space
with slander, copyright violations and hot air. Did you ever
think about making a web page that brings attention to a real
world issue? (I'd like to see some of your other work) what
are the www address? I'm sure you have other things to do than
just create pages that get fans like me in a mood that creates
a response like this which you I'm sure you'll respond to wasting
your time and mine. Spending time with a person who is an original
thinker and then working with them to create such a great cartoon
must have made you feel good! But isn't it Buddy H. idea? Do
you have your own original cartoon yet? When you have your own
gig going let me know what it is so I can waste my time creating
a wwwsite about you and it please.
Yes, I tap his phone lines and read his
mail. I also planted those WMD's all over Iraq just so George
Bush would have something to do besides wreck the economy and
the environment. It didn't work. =mike= |

DO
YOU HAVE A LIFE?! SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE A BITTER EX-COLLABORATOR.
MOST PEOPLE HAVE THESE PROBLEMS OF ANXIETY OVER SEX. MAYBE THERE
IS SOME CREATIVE IMPOTENCY INVOLVED. DO YOU HAVE A HARD-ON FOR
THE QUIGMANS? IF SO, GRAB AN LA TIMES AND START SPANKING.
Well, yes, I AM a bitter ex-collaborator,
and my penis still works just fine, thank you. In fact, your
mother really likes it when we play "The Environmentalist
and the Naughty Spotted Owl". =mike= |
| ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• |
Mr
Stanfill, I went to Yahoo, searched for "smut" on
the Yahoo homepage, and you are listing number 18. Rather impressive,
I would say. I'm in Jacksonville Florida USA, so I'm not really
sure who The Quigmans are (although it becomes rather obvious
given the heading it is under at Yahoo). That was a very funny
and passionate smear. He must have really teed you off. Here's
my best, and the only one I can remember. A horse walks up to
the bar. The bartender says, "Hey Buddy, Why the long face"?
Have a cool holiday season.

Mike: I ran across your Web site quite
by accident and was surprised by its content. Surely Buddy
isn't THAT bad!?
Wait! Let me check my records. Hmmm.
Uhhh, yes, he is. =mike= |
| ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• |
Hi.
The Quigmans were always my favorite cartoon and I once read
a story about you that I loved. About 5 minutes ago I decided
to look ya'll up and I found this. It totally sucks. I hate
repeated cartoons. I wish you the best and hope you'll be cartooning
again soon.

PS Sorry you're from Dallas
Did the
story you loved have anything to do with babboon barbers? =mike=

(I
certainly deserved this but, then again, I was an art major.
No one ever told me those English classes I slept through would
ever prove to be useful. =mike=)
I'm all for a good blaming, and I believe
pretty much all of the stuff on your site to be valid. My only
advice to you is:
PROOF READ YOUR PAGE BEFORE POSTING IT!
Make sure you look smarter than the "idiot"
you're writing about. In particular, watch the apostrophes on
'it's'--make sure it takes one or not.
Good luck

hi
mike,
well, technically speaking ........ great website! very nicely
done ! i was a great fan of the quigmans way back when.....
80's?...... but our local paper the albuquerque journal ((a.k.a.
albuquerque urinal)...((yes that one! the one cutting down
good trees to put out a bad paper )) ....dropped it with no
explanation, so i thank you for the explanation. and frankly,
that angela sounds like she inhaled.

I
just now stumbled across your site. This is an impressive
piece of revenge but let it go, man. Shit you say you quit
in 1994. SEVEN years ago! This much bad karma will just hinder
your own creativity. Move on.
But I really am in awe of your display of bile.

Hi
Mike----I have to ask you---"Is this for real, or is it
a twisted joke from the twisted mind of Buddy?"
I saw a cartoon in the latest Esquire by Buddy and I thought
I would check the net to see if he had a site. Imagine my surprise
when I linked to BuddyWatch. If this is a gag, it's a good one.
If it's true, it's very upsetting. Ideas are a very fragile
and intangible thing. The only thing that makes them yours is
credit and acknowledgment. We've all had the experience of being
ripped off, but most of us don't do enough about it.
Rock on......bOb f.
Bob, it depends on your definition of
"gag"...because I gag every time I read The Quigmans.
=mike= |

I
can't believe what I'm reading. Thanks! Pete M.
I can't believe someone said "Thanks!" =mike= |

I
stumbled on this site while looking for Mr. Hickerson's
work. Have you spoken with a therapist about your issues
with Buddy?
Personally, I don't care what your grudge is and I don't
care to read about it when all I wanted was to view Quigmans
cartoons. I'm sorry I added to your hit counts at *all*.
Since it's December, I'll leave you with a song: "Let

of blissful ignorance relieves you of ever having to deal
with life's repeated indignities.
And, yes, I'm a sick, twisted, evil, cynical, sarcastic,
demented, bad-tempered, naughty, conflicted, obesssed individual.

Note:
On 4-1-03 Buddy thought it'd be a good idea to draw a Quigman
cartoon depiciting the Buddha (Yes, THAT Buddha) cutting-off
other people in traffic. It wasn't well received. =mike=
Thanks for having this web site. With compassion for Buddy,
I e-mailed him my thoughts on the "Buddha in L.A."
cartoon. Obviously, he has no respect for his own mind or for
that of others. This is the greatest sadness to find someone
who is oblivious to his/her own mental pain by spewing out this
kind of poison. I can only hope that before his death he will
lead a reconstructed life. His "cartoons" definitely
teach us what not to do, so I guess there's a learning lesson
if we look for it. Thank you, again. -marth |

You
wrote the Pirate Dentist "Okay, now say ARRRRR!" joke?
That's the only one of those strips I ever liked enough to actually
cut out and save (along with a few Piraro and Wiley strips...
I'm kinda picky) I never liked his artwork style, but that one
was just too funny. Glad to hear it was yours. Keep the faith,
man. -Chris
I usually keep my faith in a large bottle

| ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• |
Regarding
your anti-Buddy site, I have never heard of the cartoon in question,
never seen it, and, from the brief look I had at the artwork
of the cartoon, I don't think it would be worth the time. In
reading the email that you've received regarding this site,
I saw that many people have told you to "get over it,"
to abandon your grudge, that it's been seven years and you need
to let go of your anger.
You should, naturally, ignore those idiots. If this Buddy fellow
had stolen a joke from you once seven years ago, then perhaps
it would be time to get over it. However, as this is a continuing
crime, the grudge in question can hardly be dismissed as seven
years old. It's brand-new each time he does it, and, therefore,
deserving of castigation each and every time. Why exactly do
those idiots think that you should willingly bend over and be
screwed? I confess, their justification baffles me.
So, please know that I do very much support and encourage your
endeavor here. Good work and carry on.
Sticking it to the man,
Penelope

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• |
This was an email from someone named Kevin.
I couldn't resist answering his email point-for-point and I
thought I'd share it with you.
In case you get confused, my responses are the snotty ones in
dark gray. =mike=
I'm an old friend of Buddy's from the late eighties to early
nineties era.
What kind of "friend" do you
mean? The kind that helps you move, or the kind that helps you
move a body?
I once approached him about a collaboration but never actively
followed through.
But, isn't approaching him on the subject
the same thing as following through? Knowing Buddy he just didn't
give you a straight answer.
I'm surprised you have never to this day pursued any legal action
whatsoever.
Oh I have. I just found out that it's
danged expensive to sue someone and I have other, more pressing
financial considerations. Like a couple of ex-wives and the
Texas lottery.
There are quality lawyers in Dallas who will work on contigency
in these matters.
There's no such thing as a "quality"
lawyer. They're all weasels who'd sell their own grannies to
Genghis Kahn to make toilet seats out of if it meant getting
a minor percentage of a class-action suit for ephedra.
My guess is that you are waiting until Buddy hits the big pay
day and then you'll hit him up with a nice fat lawsuit.
Wrong. I've chosen to wait until he's
a penniless bum and THEN I'll sue the pants off him. It's more
sadistic that way.
Until then the website is just a burr under under his ass that
he continues to ignore or not publicly acknowledge.
So, you're suggesting that Buddy's the
moronic sort of person who would continue riding along even
when there actually IS a burr under his saddle? You're
postulating that Buddy is so simple-minded that he'd rather
be continually uncomfortable than take any steps to relieve
the pain in his nether regions? You're offering the notion that
Buddy is so oblivious to posterior torment that he would prefer
to suffer unending discomfort rather than rectify the situation?
You said it, not me.
A man of true conviction would have said, damned be the costs,
and pursued a lawsuit and got satisfaction from a principle
standpoint.
A man of true conviction would have taken
a ball-peen hammer and caved his skull in for being such a loutish
boob. I'm more of a chainsaw man, myself. Of course, if you're
offering to foot the legal bill then don't let me stand in your
way. I'll also be happy to loan you my ball-peen chainsaw.
This whole website, while educational about presenting certain
facts in your case against Buddy, is no more than an eight year
e-tantrum in your tirade against this ongoing injustice.
Doesn't the fact that it's been publicly
available since 1996 signify something important to you? If
so, complain to Buddy, not me. I don't invent the news, I just
report it.
If only you could have used such powers for the public good
instead of serving your easily bruised ego and pride!
So, explaining in exact detail that Buddy
is basically a schlemiel is not to the public good? Explain
that in a 12-page thesis and have it on my desk by monday morning.
While Mr Hickerson's actions can be regarded as less than exemplary,
your actions in this matter are merely the sad tragicomical
ravings of a loon with a blackened eye exacting revenge by chalking
tirades on mens' room walls and nothing more and expecting sympathy
and renumeration.
True, except for the remuneration bit.
I've never asked Buddy for anything more than he act like a
civilized human and do his own work. Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have some bathrooms to deface.
How can I afford to take any of this seriously?
I don't know, why should you? Seems to
me there are a lot of more important problems to solve out there.
Take a piece of your own advice and go help the homeless or
read to children or something. At the very least, send Buddy
a message and tell him what a slime you think he's been. Even
better, send a letter to your local paper, if they run the Quigs,
and explain it to them.
Get a grip, get a life and move on already or go to the next
step.
Sorry, I'm fresh out of ball-peen hammers.
Looks like the web site will have to do until I can figure out
another way to make the situation fit your personal moral and
ethical guidelines.
You are so stuck.
I have no idea what that means. |
| ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• |
My
God, man. Buddy must've rubbed you the wrong way somewhere in
the past, because I can't imagine spending the time you have
devoted to marring the image of one lowly cartoonist. I don't
doubt the Quigmans has run its course, but I can think of about
thirty other comics infinitely more insipid, trite, repetitive,
tasteless or esoteric than Buddy's: The Family Circus, Andy
Capp, Doonesbury, Love Is...hell just name anything on the comics
page. I haven't picked up a newspaper in years because of the
pointlessness of them all. Why don't you focus on how newspapers
across the country showcase dead guys on the front page of the
Sunday comics section? I think a site dedicated to the baseness
of the whole racket would be more productive.
Yer gonna burn in hell for that Family
Circus crack. =mike= |
| ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• |
Truth
be told, I come here as a "Quigmans" hater. The same
way most people dreaded coming across "The Family Circus"
in the corner, I dreaded reading "The Quigmans", and
soon learned how to scope out the page without ever reading
that corner, because whenever I did, I was disappointed to the
point of rage. The only thing that made me happy about the way
the "Dallas Times Herald" promoted the second collection
was how rapidly huge stacks appeared at every Half-Price Books
in town, and the fact that those migrated to the "Discount"
or "Take me, cuz I'm Free" bins out front confirmed
that someone besides myself loathed Hickerson's baboon-on-methadone-drawing-with-his-ass
artistic style. - p.riddell

Dear Mike;
I discovered this site while searching around on your privatehand.com
website (for the elements flash animation) first of all, that
elements thing is great, you gotta love that song. Second, and
don't be insulted or anything, but I've never heard of "The
Quigmans" (probably because i'm english) and until just
now I'd never heard of Buddy either, but what he's done to you
is just pathetic. How on earth can anyone involved in the making
of any comic strip act like he has? I mean, me having to write
this because I feel such disgust is proof enough that he has
been stupid and handled this so badly. I think those flash animations
are great, and the joke writing is great too, but that 'Buddy'
annoys me so much now. If you ever get some sort of reaction
from him to this site, tell him 'Random Surfer' hates him.
Ooooohh! My nipples are so hard I could cut glass with them.
Although it'd have to be an especially soft kind of glass that's
easily penetrated by rigid meat. =mike= |
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• |
Mike,
I stumbled upon your site three times in the past two days.
Once when I Googled Tom Lehrer, another when I was looking for
some Flash tutorials and the third when I was looking for some
ideas for a web site I'm designing. Ironically I had seen the
Snowflake
Flash a while back. Anyway, up until a few minutes ago I was
a Quigman fan. It's good to see another fraud exposed for what
they really are. Hey, if I steal an idea I at least give credit
or a tip of the hat for inspiration. Buddy may have had a few
original ideas, but that is no excuse for recycling your stuff.
Again, thanks for exposing him for what he is and you can rest
assured that I will give you a "Tip O' The Hat"* when
I'm done with my site. Right now I'm too embarrassed to pass
along the URL.

Elizabeth emailed me asking why I don't sue Buddy's pantaloons
off for his obvious perfidy, whereupon I explained the ugly
facts of life as they affect the American jurisprudence system.
In essence, if it's not a big payoff (and the Quigmans is really
penny-ante stuff to them) then they're not interested. I had
one attorney, after determining what his cut of the take might
be, drop the case so fast he left skid-marks. So, thank you,
Elizabeth, for taking this oh-so-small yet oh-so-meaningful
action. =mike=
Well, I feel for you. I get the Quigmans on my yahoo everyday
and have for awhile. I typed it into a search engine last night
and found your website. I looked through the proof section and
I noticed something that made me laugh. I noticed the Hallucinators
Club comic was repeated too when I saw it a second time and
I went through the achives and realized it was redrawn. I thought,
"wtf?". I had no idea why it was like that, but after
seeing your website it makes sense. I'm cancelling my subscribtion
to it today. Good luck with your website and I hope that justice
is served.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• |
Mike,
I just came across your website and thought I'd drop you a line.
My best friend and I, both of us artists, lived in Dallas for
ten years. We were big fans of the Quigmans. At one time my
friend was dating a girl who said she used to date Buddy. I
asked her what he was like and she said "You guys are both
funnier than Buddy." At the time I was very proud, but
now it seems that statement doesn't mean as much as it used
to, if anything at all. I've lost respect for him now. Unfortunately
stealing from an artist isn't front page news, but it's my number
one pet peeve. I'm not a big fan of recycling comics either.
All I can hope is that you're making a good living for yourself
doing something you like. I don't know what else to say. Keep
fighting the good fight.

Hey
Mike,
I enjoy the site…Really interesting, eye-opening stuff.
I used to be a supervisor at the kinkos in Dallas in 91-93,
(by what used to be Tijuana Yacht club.) and got to know Buddy
pretty well, as he always came in asking for us to copy his
stuff on the same Oce machine, as it copied his blacks very
solidly. He seemed like an interesting guy, and I loved the
toons, so I thought he was actually writing the material! How
low of him! I just wanted you to know that I enjoyed YOUR material.
Peace,
Rob W.
Now if only we can find out who's REALLY writing our tax laws.
BTW, my favorite material is a bias-cut silk/poly blend because
of how well it hides my body flaws. =mike= |
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• |
I
agree, he is a hack, and the Quigmans have really sucked for
quite some time. (Buddy's comics.com page
claims he draws regularly for Hallmark Cards.) That is
a lie as well. I've worked here for over 10 years and haven't
seen a card of his come through the humor studio once......

9-4-06:
Buddy wrote a fairly decent gag today referencing the new movie
"Snakes On a Plane" but he made the mistake
of mocking kosher tradition. I knew he'd catch some grief over
this and a Mr. Sherman wrote to let me, Buddy, Buddy's syndicate,
AND the Jewish Defense League know about it. You can see the
cartoon by clicking here.
I just read your comic of 9/4/2006. While I usually find your
strip to be most funny, this one really upset and angered me.
Please explain how you can compare Jews with snakes for the
sake of a laugh! This was a common charge in midevil Europe,
and was a common insult to Jews throughout the ages. Additionaly,
saying a rat can be kosher is also an insult, as these vermin
are most certanly not, nor can ever be, kosher for Jewish consumption.
You are implying that Jews eat rats, which is another insult.
This comic is deeply anti-semitic on many levels, and expresses
nothing but hate. |

I appreciate the feelings behind the site. I'd hate it if I

Why has this strip lasted 12 years?!? (Sadly,
it's23 years, but who's counting?) It boggles the mind.
It's also interesting to note that even with all sorts of proof
in your corner that you haven't sued the pants off of Buddy
(I'm not sure what you'd do with his pants, but that's beside
the point). He should count himself lucky. I'm sure that Buddy
and Jim Davis will share a nice room in the sixth circle of
hell. |
