Disney buys Dumm Comics for $9,000.00 ***UPDATED!***
by Dumm AP
Well folks, the dream is over. Disney’s lawyers contacted us yesterday and they demanded a refund. We have a strict “no returns” policy so we agreed to take the site off Disney’s hands for 200 bucks. At least we made a profit! We’re probably going to use it to buy a TV for the Dumm Comics rec room.

Sounds like a disaster to me.
Or, maybe, Disney is taking a new step.
Also, 9000? I think, like >9000 could be much better.

Actually, it’s more like $4,058.00 after taxes.
August 31st, 2009 at 3:27 pm
At least you’ll be able to make references to Marvel Comics without getting sued…

I think I used to have a lunchbox with that 80’s Micky and Minnie on it.
Good times.
Oh, right… good luck on the getting bought out, guys. Hurhurhur. =B

Whats gonna happen to Dumm? im scared
September 1st, 2009 at 12:52 am
You guys. It’s not even april!
September 1st, 2009 at 12:58 am
Oh, wait. I just had a disturbing thought. What will happen to Kimbo’s 1930s Nightmare Theatre? It’s a parody of certain mice. Will they let Kimbo keep doing his blasphemous rituals which are obviously not family oriented? What about Sorry Guys?! Even I wouldn’t let my (hypothetical) kids read Sorry Guys! (okay, I would, but I’m being rhetorical here, guys!)

Does that mean Hannah Montana is going to start doing Sleezer monologues?
September 1st, 2009 at 6:56 am
That’s great! Disney is currently in a bidding war with Dreamworks to buy “Duckfart Jones” from me! Today I have a business meeting with the candle from Beauty and the Beast.
September 1st, 2009 at 7:22 am
we’re screwed.
September 1st, 2009 at 7:24 am
MuhahaHAAAH!
September 1st, 2009 at 7:26 am
@ Kermitzero, LMAO
September 1st, 2009 at 7:58 am
DIZNEE OWNS ALL OF YOUS.
September 1st, 2009 at 1:19 pm
I call bullshit!
What would Disney want with web comics as vulger as these? They’re projected to children, and Dumm comics, well it just isn’t.
But if you’re serious here, then please explain.
September 1st, 2009 at 3:34 pm
I heard John Lasseter is working on a Disney Princess version of Skadi.
September 1st, 2009 at 5:21 pm
well Iggy, the truth is that initially they offered us about 100k. But then they read our comics.
September 1st, 2009 at 6:59 pm
This…isn’t april fools today right?…right?! O_O
September 1st, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Yeah OK. Like they’d buy this kind of filth.
September 1st, 2009 at 11:28 pm
That was quick, ᴛoysᴙus is already selling a Skadi voodoo doll.
September 2nd, 2009 at 1:37 am
hah! i knew kermitzero was disney’s secret-agent all along!
I can already see the trailer:
“ROBIN WILLIAMS IS…. DUCKFART JONES!
In the new Pixar family-adventure: DUMM DEMEANORS!
starring: ANGELINA JOLIE as Skadi
BILL MURREY as the Captain
EDDIE MURPHY as Kimbo
ROBERT DENIRO as BigPants Mouse
CAMERON DIAZ as FrogRacconStrawberry
MATT DAMON as Earthward Joe
and BEN AFFLECK as Bro Mojo
coming to cimemas near you.”
you stir my brain with these jokes!

I can just say…
FINALLY!
For the longest time, I have always been wounded by the generally family-unfriendly nature of Dumm Comics. The bouts of risque material as well the sometimes stunningly dark material has sometimes ruined my completely voluntarily visits here. Now I can look forward to Sorry Guys handling the daily adventures of young teenage twins coping with a wacky life in high school, Skadi putting on well putting on a full gown as she joins the Princess collection, replacing Mech Lab with some comic about Hip-Hop Savvy Ducks they were going to dump in the Disney Adventures before the magazine went under.
Kimbo, on the other hand, will be joining Horace Horsecollar in a very special retirement home far off the coast of Florida, inside an abandoned oil platform. There, he will be reshaped into a much more… appropriate role for his new, Disney-based existence.
Everything else works well by my own standards of entertainment, which will soon be all of YOUR standards of entertainment.
Forever.

Hey, guys. It’s your friend, Bob, President & CEO over at The Walt Disney Company. I’m glad to see almost everyone’s on board here. I was talking to Steve and some of the other shareholders and we think it’d be pretty neat if we removed this website’s content and replaced it with a single static image of Goofy staring out from inside the monitor. Our imagineers have managed to create a memetic agent within the art that would compel this site’s visitors to buy Disney products either online or at their nearest Disney Store location. We feel that this would better serve The Company’s global interests, rather than the current material available at this domain.
Of course, we wouldn’t replace the site without giving its visitors the chance to browse what content is currently available. So, for the low price of US $21.99, you can catch the Dumm Comics magic before it goes back into the vault. Forever.
Alright?
Okay, boys. Go ahead and tear it down.
September 2nd, 2009 at 5:39 am
This better be a joke.
September 2nd, 2009 at 7:04 am
Thanks Bob!
Go ahead, it’s all yours. By the way, your dry cleaning is ready. Should I drop it off at your office?
September 2nd, 2009 at 10:50 am
Ever since my brother showed me this site a little over a year ago i have rarely missed a chance to check out the daily dumms and i tell you man I think it would be great for Disney to purchase Dumm comics, not because Disney would take this site and all of its associated works in any kind of worthwhile direction. in fact i can only imagine that Disney would make utter bollocks of everything I know and love on this site. But just so that Dumm comics would finally gain prestige, backed by Disney’s billions Dumm comics would be officially on the map… As a hollow, family-friendly shell of what it used to be. So keep on buying everything Disney! who knows? maybe someday something good may come of yer money hungry capitalist shenanigans…
September 2nd, 2009 at 1:15 pm
*hugs owner of the site*THANK YOU!…unless this was a prank all along!
September 2nd, 2009 at 3:54 pm
Marona, one thing you need to learn about me is that I never lie.
September 2nd, 2009 at 6:13 pm
And one thing you need to learn about me is that I never tell the truth.
Now try to figure out which door leads to instant death and which leads to the castle….
September 2nd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Go ahead, ask us a question, any question.
September 2nd, 2009 at 7:56 pm
This sounds like a joke. No offense, but I highly doubt Disney is aware of the website’s excistence.
September 2nd, 2009 at 9:48 pm
sez you
September 3rd, 2009 at 1:32 am
Oh, hey. I may have let Bob sign in on my computer. He just bought my house. Essentially, I get to retain creative control of what happens within the house and Disney gets a cut of the profits. I’m still not sure how that works, but the company folks assure me that this is a good deal.
September 3rd, 2009 at 1:32 am
OH! Luke. Are you wearing a giant sombrero right now?
September 3rd, 2009 at 10:35 am
No.
September 3rd, 2009 at 12:05 pm
Demanded a refund for 200 bucks? Wow…
September 5th, 2009 at 1:31 am
…
I’m gonna take the door behind Garduno over there. The one that appears to be… smoking… Huh.

People fail forward to success.
