\"longo-screenshot.jpg\"<\/a>I didn’t write about the Zuda launch because I was (and am) still very sick, but it’s also been analyzed to the Nth degree already, I didn’t have much to add.<\/p>\n

Today though, I found out that the first Zuda creator to be pissed-off and disillusioned came to light… at the launch party. Yeah, that’s right. Apparently J. Longo, creator of ‘This American Strife’ had his strip edited, and then had a page omitted, without his being told by the ‘higher-ups’ at the company. He found out when he noticed his comics playing on the TV screens at the launch party. From an entry by Mr. Longo entitled “non disclosure diss-agreement<\/a>“:<\/p>\n

“Now, in Zudas tiniest defense, when I orginally pitched the J & Jesus screens for \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcThis American Strife,\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 I was told to modify certain things to make it kosher enough to have it public. However, I changed these \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcquestionables\u00e2\u20ac\u02dc and re-drew every panel in accordance to their requests. But to have weeks go by and then release \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcThis American Strife\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 with such a crucial, non-disclosed edit is lame.” – J. Longo, Creator of This American Strife<\/em> for Zuda.com<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How long did it take for the other shoe to drop? 24 hours. At least it took most of the Tokyopop crew a full year to become disillusioned with their terrible contracts.<\/p>\n

Edit: J. Longo has responded to this article in my comments section, and over at his blog<\/a>. I encourage you to check it out.<\/strong>
