Trivia / I Will Survive

• Colbert Bump: The comic was written back in March 2017, but didn't quite reach the memetic levels it has now until a Twitter user took notice of it in December of that year.
• Trolling Creator: Given the subject matter, Borba received considerable negative feedback for this comic. As with most heated internet "discussion", a majority was rude, aggressive and uncalled for which unfortunately showed off the negative side of the Zootopia fandom. However, Borba seems to take a certain delight in trolling the conflict he created and has shown a particular reluctance to openly discuss any reasonable critical analysis of the story.
  • In the aftermath of the comic's release, a pattern emerged. Comments that were favorable to the work generally received a "thank you" reply from Borba often praising the commenter for their open-mindedness. However, comments that contained critical feedback were either completely ignored or summarily dismissed as being from haters lacking imagination... even posts made by established Zootopia fan-fiction writers and artists offering reasonable feedback on the weaknesses of his story or his characterization of Nick and Judy.
  • Twice since I Will Survive was published he announced that he was developing a sequel. One was going to be called Tundratown Thaw the other was See you next Wednesday. Both were accompanied with a panel of art supposedly from the comic which stimulated feedback and discussion. However, both times a sequel failed to materialize and as of May 2018, he admitted that he was just pranking at that point in time.
  • In May 2018, Borba announced that he would not be doing any more Zootopia content (until Zootopia 2 is announced). However, in October 2018, he changed his mind again and created a sequel called Born To Be Alive, finished in early 2019. He announced a future third installment, Never Say Goodbye, that was going to be completed in early 2020, but then changed plans again to release an interquel for IWS / BTBA called The Longest Night. Borba also said at the time, that the final installment had been completed but the release date was pending and that it would only be available on his personal web-site. This again turned out not to be the case, with the final comic being published on his DeviantArt in late 2021, while his webpage remained in limbo into 2022.
